900 Global Harsh Reality Pearl Review
« on: July 21, 2024, 05:52:59 PM »
The Harsh Reality Pearl is the newest pearl ball in the 900 Global line. It features the new Reserve Blend 902 Pearl Reactive cover and the Disturbance A.I. Asymmetric Core. This ball is going to sit at the top of your bag strength wise. For me this ball shapes like the Harsh Reality and will be a good step down but still has the same pop downlane. I compared mine to the DNA Coil and Attention Star. I have the HRP a ball above the DNA Coil and a couple balls above the Attention Star. The HRP is going to need some oil to look its best due to it being so strong. I think the HRP is the closest thing we have to the Altered Reality shape wise but being a touch stronger. If you are missing a big strong asym pearl then this is the ball for you. Another great release from 900 Global!

Review
The all new Harsh Reality Pearl utilizes the Reserve Batch Blend 902 pearl cover stock combined with the Disturbance Asymmetric A.I. Core to give you the strongest pearl ball in the 900 Global line. Yes, I believe the Harsh Reality Pearl is stronger than the Altered Reality. I tested this ball on a 43 feet typical house pattern with a lot of down lane transition. As mid to low rev player I struggle with ball reaction when the lanes breakdown and I’m forced to move left of the 25 board. I was standing between the 25 and 32 boards and rolling the Altered Reality to right, it continued to hit the pocket and continued to strike. My ball layout is 50x5x40. This ball is awesome. This ball will be in my bag for league and tournaments especially when there is down lane transition. This is a great ball for all levels of bowlers. Order one from your local pro shop today!

Reliable, Predictable and Versatile

The New 900 Global Harsh Reality Pearl is an upgraded replacement of the beloved Altered Reality and Eternity seeking a stronger asymmetrical option.


The Harsh Reality Pearl features the Reserve Blend 902 Pearl coverstock finished with Reacta Gloss, which allows it to glide smoothly through the front part of the lane and respond sharply at the breakpoint. This makes it an excellent choice for medium to heavy oil conditions.

It shares the Disturbance Asymmetric AI core with the original Harsh Reality, providing a low RG (2.48) and high differential (0.054), which contributes to its strong hooking potential and continuous motion down the lane.

On the lanes this ball performs exceptionally well for allowing me to play deeper lines with confidence. I started in the track and migrated a far as 4th arrow before light pocket hits left weak corner pins. It stores energy effectively and offers impressive recovery and continuation at the back end.

Its versatility, provides a strong mid-lane read and a powerful backend reaction, making it suitable for when the lanes transition for me.
Even for strokers and crankers, the Harsh Reality Pearl offers a reliable and predictable motion, making it a versatile addition to any arsenal.

I compared mine to the Harsh Reality Solid which had earlier mid-lane read and total hook. My 5 ball arsenal would include the Xponent Pearl, Xponent and Sublime'

Overall, the 900 Global Harsh Reality Pearl is a versatile with its strong hooking potential and reliable motion make it a valid addition to any bowler's arsenal.

900 Global Harsh Reality Pearl - 900 Series
Coverstock: Reserve Blend 902 Pearl - Reacta Gloss
Core: Disturbance A.I.
RG: 2.48   Differential: .054 (15 lbs)   PSA: .019
Layout: 5.5 x 4.25 x 4.5
PAP: 6" Right, 1 3/8" Up
Axis Tilt: 16°
Rotation: 51°
Rev Rate: 450-500
Speed: 17-18 mph
Location: Vista Lanes - Yorkville, NY
Pattern: 2023 USBC Jr. Gold
Lane Surface: HPL

The Harsh Reality Pearl features the Reserve Blend 902 coverstock with Reacta Gloss and the Disturbance A.I. core. It is currently the only pearl asymmetric ball in the 900 Global lineup and will produce the most explosive backend reaction. The Harsh Reality Pearl will be the perfect compliment to the Harsh Reality Solid when you need a cleaner and more responsive reaction without giving up overall ball strength on heavier conditions. The Harsh Reality Pearl gave me a great look sliding on 30, looking 18 at the arrows with my breakpoint around 7-8. I was able to move left and not sacrifice ball motion and carry with speed and hand position adjustments. When compared to the Harsh Reality Solid, the Pearl was cleaner through the fronts and created more downlane motion. The Harsh Reality Pearl will be great after the Solid starts to burn up and you need a change of angle to improve your carry. It will be a number two ball on heavier tournament patterns and potentially the first ball out of my bag in league to combat the over/under. The Reality series have been reliable tournament balls for me over the past several seasons and I can see the Harsh Reality Pearl being a great addition to my arsenal. Stop by your local Storm VIP pro shop to check it out! Available on July 26th.
