The After Dark is available in two versions. The Solid and the Pearl. Both offer similar shapes, the Solid is smoother and it has a slower response to friction, while the Pearl is slightly cleaner and it has a stronger backend motion, making it more angular than the solid. They complement each other quite well.

We tried the After Dark Solid in our typical house shot and I really liked the motion of it. It took me a couple of shots to find the right line with this ball and in less than 10 minutes I finished shooting the review.

I got 8 strikes in 10 shots. The After Dark Solid offers a lot of predictability, when you miss out the ball doesn't overreact thanks to the S30 solid coverstock, and when I missed in the ball offered enough hold to keep a straight line to the pocket.

I feel this ball will be a great option for bowlers who don't want to hook the whole lane and for those who are just starting to bowl with a reactive ball. The After Dark Solid is smooth, early and predictable.

For the competitive bowler, this ball will be a great choice when you need to bowl in high friction environments and you need to control the breakpoint.

Overall I feel this is a great addition to the 900 Global lineup.

Thank you for watching!

Solid is going to be less ball in the friction due to the strength of the cover, but it's very smooth. S70 is still strong no matter what core is in it.

The pearl is going to be less, but I bet with a Polish with a slip agent, it could be on par with a Ride.

Some staffers have said it's almost exactly like a Night Hawk SE. That sells me on it.
