Brandon, I'll get a chance to throw the Nexus Pearl on 3 1/2 year old Brunswick Pro Lane synthetics on Wednesday and be able to give you more of a report.

I used my Nexus Pearl for the first time in league tonight and was very happy with what I saw. Our Friday night men's league is the largest in town and it's in a house with 3 1/2 year old Brunswick Pro Lanes with a 40' oil pattern that has a slight blend........no real crown to speak of. I used my typical release with 45 degrees of axis rotation and medium speed and played a modest hook swinging 12 to 6. I shot games of 249, 236, and 257 for a 742 series.  We'll see how this works Monday at a different house with freshly resurfaced wood lanes but for now I'm very satisfied with the ease thru the heads and the sharp backend reaction.

I got a chance to throw my Nexus Pearl on freshly resurfaced wood lanes tonight and all I can say is WOW. I wasn't expecting this type of skid/snap reaction but there it was . During shadow balls and the first game it was almost too much.......speed control was vitally important. After that, some carrydown made the balls reaction a little more even......notice I said a "little ". Granted this ball only has 18 games on it and I think the balls reaction will calm down a little with some more games on it.

I shot a 300 game today at our associations Senior Mixed Doubles Tournament with my Brunswick Nexus Pearl. I also had games of 238 and 235 for a 773 series. Had I carried several solid 8's and 9's I would have shot an 800 series. This ball is really something. I'm so glad I got one.
