- Description:Activator Plus is a more aggressive version of the original Activator coverstock formulation and features enhanced durability and performance longevity and is one of the most recognized coverstock names in the bowling world. The pearlized version of Activator Plus coverstock used on the Karma Purple/Pink Pearl is factory-finished with High Gloss Polish to create extra length on lighter oil conditions.
The Karma Purple/Pink Pearl incorporates a familiar light bulb shape Medium RG Performance core that provides easy length through the heads, mid-lane stability while maintaining axis rotation for a strong continuous backend motion.
With its High Gloss box finish, the Karma Purple/Pink Pearl will provide excellent length with a medium to quick response to friction at the breakpoint. The Karma Purple/Pink Pearl is a great ball for rev-dominant and slower ball speed players on light oil conditions.
The Karma Purple/Pink Pearl can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for symmetric bowling balls.
At Brunswick, the unique core shape of each individual ball is used for weights from 12 to 16 pounds. This approach to lightweight ball engineering provides bowlers with consistent ball reaction characteristics across this weight range.

Best Ball for the Price By JW from Jonesboro, AR
Reviewed on: 2/29/2012 Verified Reviewer Pros:Clean though the heads, Attractive Design, Consistent reaction, Great carry Cons:Not for heavy oil Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Light oil, Medium oil, House shots, Tournaments Describe Yourself:Pro Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Brunswick Karma Pearl Purple/Pink Bowler's Stats: Speed: 18.5 mph Rev Rate: 400rpm Axis Tilt: 10 degrees Axis Rotation: 30-45 degrees Ball #1 Layout: 45* by 5.5" by 45* Purpose: The original Karma Pearl was awesome on medium-dry conditions where I could move in and hook it or if I wanted to play straighter on medium patterns. Even though the cover on this ball is a little stronger, I went with the same layout to give me a similar overall shape with just a board or two more hook overall. On 39' medium volume THS: The new Karma pearl reacted exactly as expected. Plenty of push though the heads and midlane, and then making a strong yet controllable move on the backend. The ball is still angular, but it's definitely a very controllable motion still like you'd expect from basically any ball with the Danger Zone core. Compared to the original Karma Pearl, the overall shot shape is identical with about 1-2 boards more hook overall from the new Purple/Pink with both at the box surface. From shot to shot the reaction is very consistent and always finds a way to give you a good consistent look to the pocket. When it gets to the pins, the pins stay very low to the ground for me (which of course equals more carry over all) and the ball finishes just as strong as a higher end ball. Compared to an out of the box Versa Max with the same layout, the Karma is about 4 boards weaker overall with the difference being in the backend. This isn't to say the Karma doesn't have a strong backend, but I'm just saying that doesn't corner as hard as the Versa Max. Basically, when the Versa Max starts to be a little too much, I know I can jump directly to the Karma Pearl and maintain stability in the backend. Final Thoughts: For the price point, you really can't beat the reaction of this Karma Pearl. Day in and day out it's a great ball for when the lane starts to dry out and you have to make sure you not only get the ball through the heads, but that you get it to corner enough and do it consistently so that you can keep scoring. Simply a must have for the lower end of your bag! The opinions expressed are solely those of the writer and not of Brunswick Corporation Was this review helpful to you?
