The Flux Pearl does exactly as advertised.  The ball is clean through the front part of the lane, it has more length than the original Flux and with a faster response to friction, creates a more angular motion down the lane without being skid-flip or going sideways.

The combination of the Amplify asymmetric core and the S72R pearl covestock seems to be a great matchup. The Flux Pearl worked great for me on our typical house shot. The Flux Pearl provided me the perfect balance of length and angularity. The ball never wanted to hook too early but at the same time the Flux Pearl never went too long either.

As you can see in the video, I tried playing from different angles and the ball gave me a great look. I started laying the ball down inside second arrow with 6 at the breakpoint and I was able to miss a couple of boards both sides and the Flux Pearl offered me a big margin of error.

This has been the quickest review I have ever done. It took me 4 shots to get lined up and once I found a good line to the pocket, I just couldn’t miss. I shot 11 strikes in a row in less than 10 minutes. Pretty impressive.

Misses inside resulted in the ball wanting to push farther down the lane, holding its line to the pocket. Misses outside and the ball still made it back to the pocket, sometimes leaving some corner pins and I also left a couple of 9 pins. I only had issues when I slowed down and missed to the outside part of the lane, but as long as I kept my speed I felt that I had a big margin of error with the Flux Pearl.

The Flux Pearl is a versatile ball. It handles oil better than I thought and it has a strong, but predictable backend motion. For a pearl this is something I really appreciate since most of the time I get some over/under on fresh while this ball was able to give me the same shape and the same length over and over again.

When the lane started to transition, I was able to play as deep as third arrow with this ball, and the ball always found its way to the pocket. The Flux Pearl offered me lots of recovery when I had to move inside and play steeper angles.

Overall I feel like this ball is the perfect complement to the Flux and a great ball when you need more length and more shape down the lane. I can see myself using the Flux Pearl when the lanes transition, when I need to move inside or on fresh playing a tighter line to the pocket. It will be a versatile piece suitable for a wide variety of bowlers.

Thank you for watching!
