Setting a New Standard in Performance

Looking for a pearl bowling ball that delivers exceptional downlane motion on drier patterns? The SWAG Assassin Pearl from the Modern Performance Line series sets a new standard in performance. In fact, this ball leverages advanced symmetrical core technology to create motion that’s both powerful and versatile. Moreover, it’s designed specifically for situations where you need more core strength with clean length.

Building on Fusion Line Success

First, let’s talk about the foundation. Specifically, the SWAG Fusion line was widely praised for its unique ball reaction and versatility. In fact, bowlers loved how those balls performed across different conditions. Now, SWAG is building on that success with the Assassin Pearl. However, this isn’t just a small update. Instead, it’s a distinctly different ball with enhanced performance characteristics.

What makes it different? Specifically, the Assassin introduces important core changes that create noticeably better downlane motion. As a result, you get a ball that works where the Fusion models might not provide enough backend reaction.

Lower RG for Enhanced Downlane Motion

At the heart of the Assassin Pearl is a lower RG core design. Specifically, the RG is 2.52, which is lower than the Fusion models. In simpler terms, lower RG means the ball revs up faster and stores energy differently. As a result, you get:

• Increased downlane motion compared to Fusion balls
• More backend reaction when the ball finds friction
• Earlier rev generation for consistent motion
• Better continuation through the pins
• Enhanced hitting power at impact

Moreover, the lower RG creates a ball that reads the pattern earlier while still finishing strong. Therefore, you get predictable motion from start to finish.

Higher Differential for Dynamic Motion

Next, the core features a higher differential of .048. In other words, this creates more track flare and dynamic motion. Specifically, higher differential means:

• Increased hook potential compared to lower diff cores
• More dynamic motion through the lane
• Better lane coverage from flare potential
• Stronger overall reaction to friction
• Enhanced versatility on different patterns

Additionally, the combination of lower RG and higher differential is important. In fact, these two characteristics working together create the Assassin’s unique motion. As a result, you get a ball that revs up quickly and responds powerfully to friction.

Dagger Pearl Base with AP26 Additive

The coverstock technology is equally important. Specifically, the Dagger Pearl base is enhanced by SWAG’s proven AP26 additive. As a result, this coverstock delivers:

• Clean length through the front of the lane
• Strong backend reaction when needed
• Excellent response to friction
• Versatile performance across conditions
• Consistent traction shot after shot

Moreover, the AP26 additive has proven itself across SWAG’s lineup. In fact, it increases hook potential while maintaining the clean motion pearl balls are known for. What’s more, it pairs perfectly with the lower RG, higher differential core. Therefore, you get complete performance from coverstock and core working together.

Distinctly Different Ball Reaction

What makes the Assassin Pearl special is its distinctly different ball reaction. Specifically, this isn’t just another pearl ball. Instead, it creates motion that stands apart from both the Fusion line and other pearl options. As a result, you get:

• Unique motion that’s easy to identify
• Different look compared to Fusion models
• Enhanced backend that’s more aggressive
• Better adaptability on changing conditions
• Performance that fills a specific need

Furthermore, “distinctly different” means you’re not buying the same thing twice. In other words, if you own a Fusion ball, the Assassin Pearl complements it perfectly. Therefore, they work together to give you complete coverage.
