He used the ball that fit the conditions and allowed him to shoot some incredible scores.

There's no magic in the ball if there's no magic in the bowler.

The stinger low flare particle.

If anyone's thrown the pearl they would know that you would never get that smooth of an arc out of it.

Bjaardker is right. Mika confirms his ball choice in an interview on BowlingDigital.

Have seen quite a few of the Ebonite staffers using this ball the last few weeks of the the tour stops. Looks like a nice ball that does not give you much over/under. Kind of reminds me of the Track Magic of a few years ago.
