I have a Freeze Hybrid. Black, Blue, Silver. It appears as if the blue and silver are pearl, while the black is solid. The Benchmark is 4 colors, only the silver is pearl. So hybrid can mean any combination or ratio. I believe these variables can make each hybrid a unique reaction. A blend that is more pearly would backend a little stronger than one with more solid. Add to that how the flare can move contact from a more solid part to a more pearl part and you can see how you can drill 3 of the same balls with the same layout and they react differently.
