Likes:  This is one of the strongest pearls I have thrown.  Pretty neutral drilling and it still went sideways down lane.  So clean in the front.  Absolutely zero deflection thru the pins.  This ball will be a perfect compliment to my Web Pearl.  When the Web just isn't enough down lane This will be the go to ball.  This is my "Wow" ball in my bag.  I haven't experienced that miss left and watch it hydroplane down the lane with the Evo Pearl.  Awesome piece from Brunswick.  This ball is my definition of a "10" .

Dislikes:  I can honestly say I have nothing negative to report from the Evo Pearl.

I have to admit I was not the biggest Quantum fan in the past, having a slower ball speed and lower rev rate.  The core design and higher RGs didn't fit my game very well.  But this ball with the new modified mushroom core is a game changer.  It gets into a roll earlier and continues through the pins beautifully.  Also this ball and the EVO Solid mare the debut of Dynamicore 2.0 to improve hitting power.

I've found it to be versatile on a variety of patterns and angles.  It is a fairly strong cover compared to a traditional skid/flip hockey stick pearl but fits in my arsenal nicely with a shape I didn't have before.

I have complete confidence in this ball every time I use it, and I think you will as well.  Mine is drilled with the pin just below the bridge between the fingers, but still clears the fronts easily.

You won't be disappointed with this piece, it will absolutely make a difference in your game.

The Quantum Evo Pearl is another one of the strongest pearls I have thrown in my career.  The Evo Pearl with it's new coverstock technology and Dynamicore2, this ball is great for tough, flat sport patterns.  The Evo Pearl has a strong midlane roll with a big angular backend motion.  The Evo Pearl and Evo Solid will be a perfect 1-2 combo for tournaments

Went with a strong pin up layout on my Evo Pearl and the word that I need to use to describe this ball is dynamic.  The shiny cover gets me through the fronts on medium oil or better, but this core really revs up and wants to make a move once it sees friction.

Compared to my Zenith Pearl, the Evo Pearl is similar in length with a much stronger response off of the friction allowing me to get deeper and get steeper with my angles.  I have rarely found reason to use this ball on patterns shorter than 40' (other than going coast to coast on burn) and have had a lot of success on longer patterns.  The strong core and move at the breakpoint help me around the corner when playing tighter angles on long oil.  This ball has found its way into my tournament bag almost exclusively for when I am playing inside angles and/or on patterns in excess of 40'.
House patterns have been a bit hit or miss for me.  I typically find that balls which roll earlier and don't make such a defined move down the lane maximize my score when there is more of a stark transition from oil to dry.  The Quantum Evo Pearl is neither early or smooth making it just too much bowling ball for me on a house pattern.

This is a ball which I would recommend for bowlers looking for help seeing back end motion on medium-heavily oiled lanes.  The Evo Pearl will be a favorite for bowlers with a rollier type release, softer speed or encountering patterns of higher length.
