The Hyped Pearl brings all the new Hyped Core wrapped in the VTC pearl coverstock found on the Hustle Wine.  The new Hyped Core in the HP2 line gives more midlane motion than the Hustle line in the HP1 line and more overall ball strength.  First impressions of this ball was that I was truly impressed with the motion this provides for this price point.  I was able to test on both a typical house pattern and a 37' sport pattern.  On the house shot, I was seeing a pretty defined shape in the dry while also seeing enough strength in the oil to possibly use at all games in league depending on your pattern.  My house pattern is 44' so it is a little more difficult to use when the lanes are fresh but it is fantastic in the transition phase when I need to throw the ball more left to right. If you are on a house pattern that is closer to 40' or has lower volume, I can see this ball working great for most games.  On the 37' sport pattern, this ball was able to open up the pattern extremely well.  I was able to be up the lane closer to the friction on the fresh and also able to hook most of the lane creating angle down lane with ease.  I can see myself having this ball in my bag on shorter to medium sport patterns and most typical house patterns.
