Theorem Pearl

Recently, I threw for the first time the Track Theorem Pearl. The Theorem Pearl is the next generation of Theorem bowling balls. The original Theorem was very popular at the beginning of 2024 and has definitely been one of my favorite asymmetric core pieces in the Brands of Brunswick family. Theorem Pearl features the same MC2 asymmetric core wrapped by a purple/blue/sky blue Prime Response Pearl cover with the HK-22 base. 1500 Siaair finished in Factory Compound is box finish. I drilled one exactly as I did my first original Theorem, 60 x 5 x 70. I used the Theorem Pearl at box finish on our scratch league pattern which is Kegel Lithium (recreational) and our regular house shot.

As I noted above, the original Theorem has been one of my favorite pieces for the ball motion it delivers. To my eye, the Theorem Pearl is very close. It is a touch longer and quicker than the original Theorem but it is a safe bet in my mind that if one liked the original, they'll absolutely like the Theorem Pearl. The Theorem Pearl will be at its best for medium volumes of oil just like the original. Again, the motion the Theorem Pearl offers, is at least for my game, a good match for many conditions. I shot 750+ out of the box without any practice with the Theorem Pearl in our scratch league. I definitely liked what I saw playing the lanes as I would normally play our house shot. However, I was practicing with a good friend who is a higher rev rate two hander so to see what the Theorem Pearl could do, I jumped way in and increased the launch angle with more rotation. The Theorem Pearl had absolutely no issue handling the increased launch. The Theorem Pearl should work, from what I see, for a variety of styles, speeds, rev rates etc.

The Theorem Pearl is readily available. Please see your local pro shop for more information!

I purchased this ball last night 12/3/24 just before league started. I have been buying another companies balls for a few years. I seen the ball and spoke to the pro shop guy who I trust. We discussed this ball and what I wanted, I said I don't know anything about drilling balls, I tell you what I want and you drilling it and I'll adapt to it. I prefer it that way because the pro shop guy does this for a living. Well right out of the box the ball was amazing. Held up great going down the lane and then made its break into the pocket. Hits hard and real nice, splashed pins all over the deck. I'm 60 years old, been bowling 50 years and now it's 6 games a week, years ago was 4 leagues and tournaments. I average between mid 190's - Low 200's. I really like this ball. I'm back to this company once again..

The Theorem Pearl is a noteworthy extension of the original Theorem. I have mine drilled at 60x3.5x25, and it has found a permanent spot in my bag, serving as the ball down from my Criterion.

In my experience, the Theorem Pearl isn't as clean and flippy as the original. The HK22 Pearls seem to dig a bit more into the oil, whereas the shiny HK22 hybrids are cleaner and more angular. I appreciate that Track didn't overcomplicate this ball. The original Theorem was a massive hit among bowlers, and the Prime Response coverstock has been one of my favorites since the Proof Line (bring it back, please!).

By keeping it simple and building on the success of the original, Track has delivered exactly what you'd expect with the Theorem Pearl.

Theorem Pearl is great addition to the track family. They took the original theorem turned into a pearl which is a little bit longer and a little bit stronger on the backend. The motion is very predictable, making it very easy to read.

I was a big fan of the Track Theorem that came out last year. For me it was ball of the year. Now Track has introduced the Theorem Pearl. They didn't re-invent the wheel here. They simply decided to take the shape and hitting power of last year's version and move it farther down the lane. They kept all the best parts and simply made a pearl cover version that allows the ball to sneak a bit farther down lane before it makes its strong sweeping motion to the headpin. This is another special piece from Track. It will perform great on house shots and should come into play later in blocks on patterns.
