VIP - ExJ - LIMITED EDITION

Developed alongside PBA® superstar EJ Tackett, the pearl VIP is a limited-edition release for medium oil engineered to get down the lane with ease and come unglued off the backend with impressive power!

One of EJ Tackett’s favorite MOTIV® cores for creating angle is the symmetric Quadfire™, which was featured in the original Octane ball.  A MOTIV® fan favorite.  The ExJ (EJ Tackett edition) VIP utilizes this proven core technology and has been given a huge upgrade with Infusion™ Pearl Reactive cover stock to handle the modern bowling environment.

Designed for medium conditions, the limited-edition VIP will dig harder in the oil than the Supra and provide more pop off the backend than the asymmetric Trident Nemesis.  This motion is made possible by combining the higher RG Quadfire™ core with the clean and angular Infusion™ Pearl Reactive shell. Tuned to a 5000 Grit LSP finish, the VIP has the proper traction needed for a fast and consistent backend response.

    Great Ball

    Bought this ball needing something different. This ball was it. This is the first ball out of my bag and if I need to throw something else and need a ball change, this is always my go to. Clears the fronts, reads the friction and destroys the pocket.

    I would recommend this to a friend

    Nice pearl symmetrical ball

    I was looking to try a ball like this and it had not disappointed. It reacts as expected and consistently. Using on a sport league now. As a speed dominant player it may need a touch of surface for me. Regular league starts next week which I suspect will see this ball in play quite a bit more.

    Great ball for medium oil

    What an amazing ball. This thing is money on medium lane conditions or when those oily lane conditions start to transition. I can move it in a little bit and still get to the pocket with these. It's aggressive on the back end, but it's not overly aggressive.

    I would recommend this to a friend

    AWESOME BALL

    I was the second one to purchase this ball in our group, but the first to throw it. THIS BALL HITS HARD!!!. Mouths dropped the first time our group heard this ball hit, and is probably the most forgiving ball i have ever seen. Since then, our whole league team has one, and i purchased a second one to have one in two different weights. i highly recommend this ball
