Dirty Bomd was "Activator +" (or as close a formula was the let them use)

Not sure on the other.

The Dirty Bomb had a much more angular backend reaction than the Cobalt Pearl.

The coverstocks on both were derivatives of the Activator covers from Brunswick at the time. From teh name of the cover on the Cobalt Bomb being Fusion 105 I am guessing it was a blend (or Fusion if you will) of Activator with one of the pearl Octane cover. It came out shortly after the Radical Inferno and shared some of the skid/flip characteristics of the Radical so it may very well be a similar cover.

The Dirty Bomb cover was Radioactive Pearl which is the same cover from the Pearl Uranium which is the same coverstock found on the original Inferno.

My Cobalt Pearl is pin above fingers, short pin, a ton of TW, and a weight hole punched parallel with the fingers 2.5 inches right.

Ball goes wayyyyy long and snaps really angular to the pocket.  Love that ball.
