<p>If you like the original ([bowlingball value="3874"/]), then you will want the new version.  The original was a major success a few years ago.  I couldn&#8217;t walk into my league without seeing one on almost every rack in the bowling center.  I was jealous at the time because I felt like the only bowler without one.</p>
<p>Here are the specs for the [bowlingball value="6909"/].</p>
<p>Take [bowlingball value="3874"/], add on some extra muscle and what do you get? [bowlingball value="6909"/]&#8211;a stronger, more aggressive version of The ONE.</p>
<p>So, what exactly makes The ONE Pearl stronger? By pearlizing the GB 10.7 coverstock, we&#8217;ve added even more power to The ONE, giving The ONE Pearl more length and an even sharper approach to the pins, resulting in increased pin carry.</p>
<p><strong>Features:</strong></p>

<li>Coverstock: GB 10.7</li>
<li>Weight Block: Centrex Symmetrical Mass Bias</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our bowling team finally took 7 points last night by winning all 3 games on our Thursday Night Men&#8217;s League.</p>
<p>I personally made a big change in my approach last night which caused me to play much farther left than I am used to.  But it was a great change.  My <a title="Bowling Ball" href="http://www.bowlingball.com">bowling ball</a> reaction was so much better than usually.  I was way more consistent and only threw a handful of awful shots.</p>
<p>I started out the first game with my [bowlingball value="6695"/].  I felt like I was making nice shots, but with a couple of pulled splits, I ended the game with a score of 175.  Like normal, if I don&#8217;t like my <a title="Bowling Ball" href="http://www.bowlingball.com">bowling ball</a> reaction, then I try a different ball in my fill shot of the 10th.</p>
<p><a title="Brian Halstrom'" href="http://www.brianhalstrom.com">Brian Halstrom</a> helped me choose which bowling ball to change to.  He said I should try the [bowlingball value="6303"/] on the same line, but stay aggressive.  I did and CRACK, strike.</p>
<p>I stayed with the [bowlingball value="6303"/] for the final two games, only moving two boards left throughout the games.  The second game I scored a 202, and finished the night with a 213.</p>
<p>Overall, I have to credit the change in my game to moving back about two feet on the approach.  This helped me increase my bowling ball&#8217;s speed, but it did more than that.  I believe that it really helped improve my timing, which gave me great <a href="http://www.bowlingball.com" title="Bowling Ball Reaction">ball reaction</a>.</p>

<p>It has not effected me too much personally, beside knocking down part of my fence.  But it just dumping a ton of water and flooding some parts of the state.</p>
<p>I guess I will have to wait until next Thursday to write about the [bowlingball value="6303"/].</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you want to be envied?  (I know, a silly pun)</p>
<p>I just received an [bowlingball value="6303"/] to drill up for use.  I am going to test this bowling ball out on Thursday 8/21/2008.  I will write up a review on this later this week.</p>
<p>I am looking forward to this ball that has a <a href="http://www.bowlingball.com/info/perfect_scale.html">bowlingball.com perfect scale</a> of 205.7.  Here is the description.</p>
<p>
<div id="productPageDescription" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(178, 178, 178); overflow: auto; height: 475px; visibility: visible; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="tabPage">
<p> <b>Be NVD by all of your opponents!</b> </p>
<p>The NVD has a new core design, Spike Core Version 1A which provides a lower RG, high flare potential and a stronger mass bias rating. Wrapping around Spike Core Version 1A is a stronger version of our Traxion Reactive cover, Traxion Reactive 0.48. This cover has kept the oil absorption rate at 10.1 (the GB #) while increasing the Traxion Factor to 0.48. This increase in the number will allow the NVD to produce a stronger ball in higher oil volume environments. This ball will give you a stronger motion when compared to the Complete NV. Comes out of the box at 4000 Grit Abralon. </p>
<p><font color="BLUE"><b>DON&#8217;T HOPE FOR VICTORY&#8230;TAKE IT.</b></font> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.bowlingball.com/info/perfect_scale.html">The Perfect Scale</a>™: Helping Bowlers Make Better Decisions. Because each manufacturer uses a different method for indicating a ball&#8217;s hook potential, bowlingball.com developed a way for the consumer to compare <a href="http://www.bowlingball.com/bowling/cat4/Bowling-Balls/index.html">bowling balls</a> across all manufacturers.</p>
