Bowling Ball Drilling Layout Used...
The bowling ball layout we used was a 45x4.5x70 Dual Angle drilling layout for testing this bowling ball...

The bowler's style.
The style of bowler was a right-handed high rev with 17mph ball speed and about a 350-rev rate...
Bowling Lane Conditions
The bowling lane conditions were a typical 38 foot house pattern on AMF HPL synthetic bowling lane surface.
Test Results
In testing;
The DV8 Grudge Pearl gave us a longer slide with a shorter transition to hook in the midlane and had a arcing/angular type bowling ball motion - its was very controllable for a polished pearl type bowling ball...
This bowling ball had a very long skid phase with a L shape motion that was controlled and angular...!
In addition, this bowling ball was not to squirty or uncontrollable...
We felt it would be a good ball on medium to heavy oil patterns or medium to longer patterns with drier backends or as a 2nd or 3rd game ball when the shot breaks down and a good complement to the original Grudge...
The DV8 Grudge Pearl had good over all pin carry...
This ball will need dryer back-ends for peak performance...
The balls surface can be adjusted to fit your needs.
In conclusion.
Our over all impression of the DV8 Grudge Pearl…
The New DV8 Grudge Pearl had a longer slide with a shorter and more angular transition that was not to squrity or had back end reaction that was not to snappy but continuous and is very clean through the front part of the lanes, while maintaining a tremendous amount of hitting power.
The ball did give us good continuation...
It had nice reaction at the pocket...
We put this in the arcing/angular motion category of bowling balls...
