earl Reactive Bowling Balls – Skid, Store & Snap

When lane conditions demand power without overreaction, Pearl Reactive Bowling Balls deliver the perfect balance of length and sharp backend motion. Designed to glide through oil and react aggressively as the ball reaches friction, these balls are ideal for medium to wet lane patterns where you want the ball to “read late” and punch through to the pocket.

Unlike solid reactive coverstocks which grip earlier, a pearl reactive coverstock includes additives (like mica, or proprietary resins) that smooth out the pore structure, reducing midlane friction and allowing the ball to maintain speed before grabbing at the breakpoint. bowlingball.com+1

🔧 Key Features of Pearl Reactive Balls

• Longer skid on the fronts — they store energy deep before transitioning

• Sharper backend motion — the ball reacts more decisively in friction

• Better control in medium oil — less overhooking compared to solid reactive covers

• Versatility in your arsenal — a go-to option when lanes begin to open

These characteristics make pearl reactive balls an essential complement to solid and hybrid reactive pieces in a complete bowling lineup.
