The new Magnitude 035 Pearl is the third release of a Magnitude into the Brunswick Performance lineup. This ball shares the same Magnitude 035 Low Diff Symmetrical core shape with the original Magnitude 035. Its Relativity Flip Pearl cover uses a 500 SiaAir with Crown Factory Compound box finish to give it more length through the front than the sanded solid cover on the original. While it does provide more length and back end, we were able to see a controlled move off the breakpoint that was less violent downlane than balls like the Vintage Inferno and Tenacity. Bowlers can expect this ball to be a step down in motion from those bowling balls, making it a good option for medium volumes of oil.

Cranker liked this ball the best out of our three testers on our fresh medium oil test pattern. The 035 Pearl’s lower differential core design allowed him to hit it at the bottom as much as he wanted without seeing his ball over-hooking or being too jumpy off the breakpoint. His laydown point on the fresh was around 25, hitting 13 at the arrows, and sending his ball out to eight at the breakpoint. His rev rate allowed him to hook the 035 Pearl out of the middle of the lane, while the compounded box finish provided just the right amount of length for this pattern.
