Seismic Aftermath Pearl Bowling Ball

AfterMath Pearl SPECS: After Math Pearl 1:35X4X35 500 grit then Power Gel Polish over the top (AMP1) After Math Pearl 2: 20X5X35 2000 siaar (AMP2) AMP1 First. It has been awhile since I got rid of this piece but I will post some thoughts on what I seen. The stronger drilling and cover prep made this ball a monster, the smoothness made it very usable on alot of conditions, From lighter meduim volumes all the way out too meduim heavy patterns the AMP1 was a great choice. THS: on the ordinary THS the AMP1 was a ball that I could move in with and swing out to the dry but their was no snap on the way back to the pins it made a very controlled arc back to the pocket, never quit driving all the way through the pin deck. A small hand adjustment allowed me to play straighter up the boards and closer to friction, still no jump off the spot still very smooth and very controlled break point. Moving in deeper with my feet and break point and the AMP1 still had had the same look, made the corner easily even when playing very deep on the lane. SPORT CONDITIONS: This ball seen alot of use on sport conditions, When patterns like Scorpion or Shark started breaking down and the track started hooking I would ball down to AMP1 and play a smaller swing than other players with stronger pieces and was able to keep up a good look. On drier patterns the AMP1 would often be first out of the bag the smoothness of the ball off the spot made it easy to use and I always had some miss room right and left of target. I have no complaints with the ball it was a reliable piece everytime I took it out of the bag it performed very well. AMP2 This one is drilled very weak which was the intention of the drilling and the ball in the instance. Keglers Bowling Lanes Manawa WI: I bowl a couples league here lanes are oiled every time we bowl but their is not alot of juice on the lane not enough for the amount of hand I use, Surface is newer Brunswick Anviline. My usual first Choice here is a Desperado but I will switch it up from time to time. When using the AMP2 I play 11-12 at the arrows and maybe 7-8 at the break point. at about 42 feet down lane. That smoothness is still present as is the control mentioned above, just far less of it. Friction is needed to get the ball to the pins and giving the 1-3 away is a bad idea. Moving in at this house with this ball is possible if I really hammer it at the bottom but the AMP2 visiabaly labors to make the pocket and carry percentage go down as a result. Objective of the ball is acheived however when everyone else is running to the left and trying to hook it around the world I have ball the WILL get through the dry and WILL still arc of the spot and WILL carry consistently as long as I keep it in play. PBA Cheetah: Well even on Cheetah the AMP2 is to weak to start with but when the track goes and the reaction off the spot starts getting kinda funny the AMP2 makes its apperance. I play a line very similiar to the line I play at KEGLERS mentioned above maybe 1-2 boards left with everything but the same theory with everything AMP2 works like a dream. Length is very easy, and the move off the spot is clean and strong stronger than the move off the THS though still arcy and controlled. COMPARISON: To Evil Siege, both strong Pearls and I used the same layout 35x4x35 on both balls. Evil Siege was earlier and was not quite strong enough to face up consistently and get all the pins out, ten pins were a constant issue. AMP1 had easier length and turned the corner easier than the Evil Siege, AMP1 got the ten pin with no issue on all patterns I used the ball on. HIT: Very nice hit kept pins down on the deck at all times when I moved in messengers were abundunt and had alot of power, when I played straighter the pins all went off the deck at the same time. hit is consistent across all patterns the ball is used on. OVERALL: This ball is a dark horse I honestly like the Pearl more than the Solid AfterMath, IMO the Pearl is more useable across more conditions. The Pearls smoothness and consistency make it a great ball it may not have the WOW factor that some other gear does but I want the pins to go down and I don't carry if it is flashy. Seismic does it with the AfterMath Pearl, Great ball Great Company!

With this ball you get the added length from the polish, with big friction on the backend. In my opinion the ball is sneaky strong, with a very strong move downlane. I found it to have natural length, just like the Aftermath, but eliminating some midlane, and having the same backend. Here's my video review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJCv1Z5iicU The Aftermath Pearl sits nicely below my Aftermath, and on the Cheetah pattern, the Aftermath game me a look no one else had. And when the lanes broke down, the Aftermath Pearl took it's place. Giving me another good look without moving. A nice one two punch if your looking to play inside. My info: pap: 5 3/4"x 1"up speed: 16mph revs: not enough Ball layout 90°x3 3/4"x50°
