COMMENTSFeaturing the Adaptor/D Ceramic Asymmetric core and wrapped with the new S86R Pearl coverstock, the Inception DCT Pearl provides easy length and a strong and angular backend motion.
The Inception DCT Pearl is better suited to handle heavier volumes of oil.
We tested the DCT Pearl on our fresh house shot pattern and we were surprised on how smooth and controllable this ball is.
Usually balls with asymmetric big cores and with a shiny pearl coverstock have a skid-flip motion, this is not the case with the Inception DCT Pearl.
We started playing straighter up the lane and we found a great line to the pocket. The Inception DCT is clean through the front part of the lane, but thanks to the Adaptor /D Ceramic Asymmetric core, the ball rev up quickly, providing a strong midlane read and a strong, but controlled backend motion.
This ball provided a big margin of error on our typical house shot pattern. Misses inside of target never went sideways and when we missed too far out, the ball offered a lot of recovery. We kept moving left with both our feet and our eyes, playing a straighter line to the pocket and the ball never overreacted.
We compared this ball with the Inception DCT. The DCT is stronger overall. It has more hook potential, is earlier, smoother and covers more boards than the DCT Pearl.
The Inception DCT Pearl is a great complement to the original DCT. When the solid DCT is too much ball or is losing energy down the lane, the DCT Pearl will be a great ball to go to without making big adjustments.
This ball will be a great option to use on broken down patterns when there is more friction and you need more length and more shape down the lane. What makes the DCT Pearl special is that is not a ball that will make you jump in to keep it in the pocket. It has the length and the shape down the lane of a pearl, but the control of a solid.
Overall, this ball brings a different motion into the 900 Global lineup. The strong, but controlled backend motion this ball has will be helpful to a lot of bowlers. Low rev, speed dominant bowlers will be able to use this ball playing straighter up the lane, while rev dominant bowlers will enjoy the predictability and the energy retention this ball provides.
Thank you for watching!
