COMMENTS
I decided to drill two of these, one pin up and the other was pin down. I used the same pin up layout that I used on my original Dynamic Swing.
Compared to the original Dynamic Swing, the Dynamic Swing Pearl was WAY cleaner through the front. For me, it made the ball a lot more usable because I could use it when there was a little breakdown in the heads. It was definitely sharper off the spot and more continuous in the back.
Compared to my Columbia 300 Command, it was cleaner through the front and more continuous through the pins, so if I brought my Dynamic Swing, Command, and Dynamic Swing Pearl to league, I would start with the Dynamic Swing, transition to the Command, and finish with the Dynamic Swing Pearl.
Ok, so who is this ball going to work for? In my opinion, if you need something to open the lanes up, this is the ball. I have been inside of 6th arrow and split the 8 - 9 with ease. If you need a ball you can trust will strike from way inside, this is the one. Especially the pin down one. For speed dominant players, if you need something for when the lanes break down in the front, this might actually be a good option too. Even though it is a stronger ball, it just gets through the fronts so easily. I still haven't had a chance to try it on long patterns (California has extremely limited bowling opportunities right now), but I suspect this will be the right ball for that because it is so strong off the spot - especially my pin up one.
