SWAG Black Dragon Pearl

SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE LINE

The Black Dragon quickly became a favorite among both customers and our team, thanks to its outstanding performance. Demand for this ball far exceeded our expectations, making it a challenge to keep in stock. Now, we are thrilled to introduce its partner—the Black Dragon Pearl.  

With its bold red hue infused with a touch of darkness and the iconic Dragon logo, the Black Dragon Pearl is designed to leave a lasting impression. Equipped with the pearl version of the Scorch cover, this ball delivers unmatched versatility, slicing through the lane with ease from virtually any angle. The Black Dragon Pearl is poised to become a cornerstone of the SWAG lineup, continuing the legacy of the Black Dragon and setting a new standard for performance in the years to come. 

DESIGN INTENT:

Speed > Revs–The Black Dragon Pearl sets a new standard for bowlers with higher speeds who want to achieve consistent backend ball motion. Its innovative Dragon core, featuring a 2.48 RG, .054 differential, and .018 mass bias strength, delivers exceptional power and performance typically found in higher-priced options. Paired with the Scorch Pearl coverstock, this ball offers unmatched backend strength and control for lower rev bowlers, making it a dependable choice for speed-dominant players. Designed for consistent and predictable strong motion, the Black Dragon is the perfect go-to ball for assessing lane conditions with confidence.

Balanced Speed & Revs – During our testing, balanced bowlers loved the Black Dragon Pearl for its strong backend, great control, impressive hitting power, and solid performance on heavy oil lanes. They were able to stick with it longer than other strong balls during league play. The Scorch Pearl cover, paired with the powerful Dragon core, is built for versatility, making it easy for bowlers to adjust to different angles as the lanes change. This design lets them confidently stick with their go-to ball, even on fresh oil, without needing to make a switch.

Rev > Speed – The Dragon Pearl bowling ball is a game-changer for rev-dominant bowlers, thanks to its intelligently designed core. If you’ve ever struggled with too much forward motion down lane when using traditional asymmetrical balls, you’re not alone. A lot of those balls have overly dramatic core shapes, like big protruding discs, which can make them tricky to control. The Dragon’s Asymmetrical Core is here to fix that.

This core is designed to mimic the shape of symmetrical cores but with a larger intermediate differential, giving you the perfect balance of control and power. It’s a dream for handling heavy oil conditions without sacrificing predictability. Plus, with the new pearl formula, rev-dominant bowlers can confidently use this ball during transitions or play at deeper angles—moves that weren’t always possible with asymmetrical cores in the past.

The Dragon Pearl combines the smooth, reliable motion of symmetrical balls with the extra hitting power of a big asym core. It’s truly the best of both worlds! Get ready to crush the lanes like never before.
