I like how the Nano Pearl clears the fronts for a strong Asymmetrical ball. Reads the midlane
very well and has a strong continuous backend motion. This is a great compliment to the original Nano.
On the Turnpike Pattern I was able to play next to track and just chase it in, without sacrificing carry.
This is a very strong pearl from Storm. The Pearl would be a great fit for all styles of bowlers. For the
heavy handed players who had a harder time getting the ball through the fronts with the original Nano
the pearl is just what you need. If you feel like the pearl is going a little too far, I've hit it with a
2000 abralon by hand and that did the trick. The ball read just a about a foot early and still had
great continuation through the pins and gave me more room at the breakpoint.
