The only Pearl ball coming from track is the Kinetic Pearl. The Tantrum is a solid as well as the Up-Rising.

"Its fiery Red/Gold/Silver cover with pearl essence added for looks only is hot on the lanes and on the shelves."
It is a solid with pearl essence for looks only. Guessing it will probably have a pearlish look to it but that is where the pearlness ends.

Im so glad people are brainwashed to thinking that if they buy a new ball they will carry everything. And its even funnier when im carrying with my 15 year old ball and they're going flat ten.

As far as they're concerned it doesn't matter, as far as most bowlers go, it does.
I think you have it backwards. Ball companies use pearlization to help create specific types of reactions. Pearlization (or not) is an essential part of the coverstock formulation and therefore a critical aspect of ball design.
Bowlers want "goes long and turns hard". On heavy oil, no less. If the ball is a pearl, a particle, a solid, or whatever, bowlers in general don't care. As Jeff would say, they (think they) buy a ball reaction, not simply a pearl or particle or solid reactive.
It's easy to get the impression that most bowlers care whether it's a pearl or a solid or a hybrid because by and large, most (active) folks on this site actually do care. Or at least, they think they should care. But we represent a pretty small minority of "most bowlers".

My bad about the caps lock. I'm in and out of different programs and some require my caps lock to be on.

So I would assume the look would be similar to Total NV, a solid that has a pearl look.
Total NV is pearl though.. The NVD that is coming out is the first solid in that line..

I am pretty sure the Total NV is just a highly shined solid with a pearl look.
The NVD is the only solid besides the original NV in that line. Hit the Ebonite forum up for that.

The Tantrum is a 1000 grit polished solid. It has an additive called pearl essence. It has no reactionary influence at all. It is for look's and shelf appeal only. It definately does a great job at that.
It would only be a Pearl if it had our Performance Pearl Additive. This would make the ball go 3ft longer if it had it in it.
