DV8 Intimidator Pearl Bowling Ball Features:
The Intimidator Pearl uses the same asymmetrical Assailant core shape as the original Intimidator, wrapped in the Inciter Max Pearl coverstock that is finished with 500/1000 SiaAir and Crown Factory Compound. This ball is clean through the front, angular off the dry, and it handles oil pretty well for a pearl coverstock.
The Intimidator was an excellent heavy oil ball and saw lots of play among the Brunswick Brand PBA players earlier this year. For a strong ball, the Intimidator was very usable on a variety of patterns and offered great versatility. The Intimidator Pearl will be a great addition to anyone’s bag as it provides an easy transition from a heavy oil ball like the original Intimidator. The strong asymmetric core and shiny pearl shell are a perfect match for an aggressive move and continuation. Stronger breakpoint than Warrant. Slightly more skid/flip than Prism Hybrid. Heavier rolling core and stronger cover than Night Prowler.

This ball provides an easy transition from a bigger ball like the original intimidator. The pearl cover gives you the length needed to get through the fronts and the strong asymmetric core provides an aggressive move and continuation off the end of the pattern.

The Intimidator Pearl is an amazing ball! I shot 300 my second game with it. I drilled mine 40×5.25×65 and left it box finish. This ball is so clean down lane and makes a very powerful angular motion into the pocket. The Intimidator Pearl is great for heavy to medium oil conditions. This will always the first ball out of my bag, it is a great benchmark ball. If you want to play in or out on the lane this ball provides you with all angles to the pocket. If you want to shoot some big scores get yours today you won’t be disappointed!

This ball read the mid lane very well but had enough angle in the back to continue through the pins! This was a great ball for me once the pattern started to break down and i needed something with added length, but enough in the back part of the lane to kick out those flat 10s!

No-thumb, one league per week, tournaments when I can. Tremendous slouch.
Heavier volume step-down asymmetric pearl.
The Intimidator was an excellent heavy oil ball and saw lots of play among our PBA players early and throughout 2020. For a strong ball, the Intimidator was very usable on a variety of patterns and offered great versatility. The Intimidator Pearl will be a great addition to anyone’s bag as it provides an easy transition from a heavy oil ball like the original Intimidator. The Intimidator Pearl shares the same strong asymmetric Assailant core as the Intimidator and paired with the shiny Inciter Max Pearl cover makes a perfect match for an aggressive move and continuation. Adding DynamiCore for extra hitting power and Durability Optimization Technology (DOT) for worry free drilling with your favorite layout, gives you and your Intimidator Pearl a two-year warranty.
The out of box surface is 500/1000 then finished with Crown Factory Compound and paired with the core and cover combination is intended to get easy length with a quick response flip on the back end, and that’s exactly what I get with the Intimidator Pearl (helped by my chosen layout of 65x5x40 which is not as skid/snap as this ball could be). The Intimidator Solid was too much ball for me to use on a regular basis during league,even with a pin down layout for length and control (75x5x80) and the Intimidator Pearl is the perfect step down from your big, solid asymmetric when it’s reading the lane and pattern too early.
With the colors of Purple, White and Ocean on the shiny cover matched up with the Orange lettering this is another DV8 ball that looks just as great on the ball rack as it does when it’s destroying the pocket.
Premium performance and at that price the Intimidator Pearl can skid/snap past other balls in the same tier. If you’re looking for that big skid/snap motion then the DV8 Intimidator Pearl is an easy choice to make.
Be well, rip racks …and shred pins.

Great ball for length and a sharp angular backend. This ball is very forgiving and versatile on shots that may be pulled or pushed. It holds when tugged and still finishes and then a lot of recovery from the outside dry boards. I was very impressed how well this ball rolls for being a pearl. Sometimes there is too much skid or too much jump off the dry, this pearl is not like that for me and has great control.
