It proves perfect for the most demanding lane conditions. Bowlers will relish the perks of a reactive ball thatโ€™s competition-worthy, while benefiting from the timeless and dominating Purple Pearl Urethane ball motion that has prevailed on the lanes for years.

Some skeptics said we couldnโ€™t make a Black Widow, and it just happens to be one of the hottest balls on the market six months after its release.Theyโ€™ll say the same thing about the Purple Pearl Urethane, and theyโ€™ll be wrong again.We realize the importance of this ball and have done extensive testing to make sure it is precisely what bowlers expect.

The core and cover materials are all the same, as is the reaction.The one difference youโ€™ll notice is that we now offer the Purple Pearl Urethane in 12 and 13 pounds.

FCC Rating (14.5) The overall strength of the Purple Urethane is perfect for medium to light oil patterns. This throwback will really excel on shorter oil patterns. FINISH (9) The 500/1000/2000 AbralonTM finish

CORE (2) Our new LED core design is a modern version of the traditional light bulb shape that was so popular back in the day.

COVER (3.5) Our Urethane cover is the main ingredient in this masterpiece. Unlike modern covers that produce a violent reaction at the breakpoint, this proven staple is all about giving the user ultimate control of the entire lane.

To satisfy their desires, we have developed the perfect pearlized, thick shelled coverstock to compliment the Black Urethane. Old school technology with new school hitting power.
