That probably is the one and only difference.

Nothing I've been able to find yet, either.

I first thought that this was the US Version of the Pivot Target, which it might be, if the coverstock is pearl. The Pivot Target has the same core, but uses a pearlized version of the NBT coverstock found on Hammer's First Blood. Other than that, this appears to look the same.

We'll probably see something in the next month for this.

I demo'd the Pivot last week and was very pleasantly surprised. That ball is great! It recovers well from deep angles and retains hitting power. I hope to get one in the coming months. The pearl Pivot is a natural complement to the original Pivot so this is no surprise.

Also the cover looks like the Maxim and it has the word "point" in it, could it be a Taboo spare type ball?

from a reliable source:
as stated above

pearl version of the pivot, not anything close to a spare ball.
Pivot is a very underrated piece, i think that it has not much for shelf appeal and that be hurting its sales.
A better color scheme or released as a Hammer brand and this thing flys off the shelf.
just my .02 worth though

the pivot is a great oil ball , a beast the point is a pearl version and should be a great med-heavy ball , where is this plastic spare ball crap coming from??

Specs about the Pivot Point are out now.

Appears to be Pearl, but not sure. Same finish, as the Pivot, but polished. No videos yet, so it is still basically unknown how this will perform, especially compared to the Pivot.

Could be similar to how the Cold Blood performs vs. the First Blood.

EDIT: Only video I could find of this was one from bowlingball.com on Youtube. This ball, like the Pivot, needs oil, as the THS shot they used it on showed that ball checking up early, losing energy, rolling out, and almost deflecting off the pocket. But once they moved left, it started to react better. Even their tweener had to move inside 15 at the arrows to get a consistent look that continued through the deck.

I hope Ebonite puts out a good video for this, because I'm still tempted on the Pivot, and am interested to see how the Pivot Point compares to the Pivot.
