COMMENTS

Likes: I really like the Rip'd Solid and Hybrid so I was exciting to try the Pearl.   I knew it would be a little less on reaction than the other 2 just because of the pearl in it.   I went with a very close to my hand layout meaning whatever I do off my hand will dictate what I see out of the ball.

After my session with it, I found it to be just as smooth in reaction as my other 2 Rip'd balls and just offered a little more length as it was cleaner through the fronts.   The carry seemed to mirror the carry of my Rip'd hybrid just not as early in the lane with reaction. 

All in all - this now makes a complete family in the Rip'd line.  I could roll into any tourney and these 3 would be in my bag.
