- Description: Double Clutch Pearl gives AMF a new look on the shelf as well as the lanes. The modified F-55 pearl cover allows the Double Clutch to produce length where its needed, and yet provide users with a predictable move off the dry that is not jerky or too angular. Aggressive pearl balls can produce over/under reactions when they are not paired core to cover properly. The Double Clutch Pearl is a perfect match.

First ball out of the bag! By Big4 from Racine, WI
Reviewed on: 1/18/2011
Verified Reviewer Pros:Awesome carry, Great reaction, Benchmark ball, Attractive Design Cons:Heavy oil patterns Best Uses:Upgrade, Local Bowling Alley, Any tough condition, Tournaments Describe Yourself:Pro Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend LOVE the ball's smooth roll and consistent reaction. This is the first ball out of the bag for me. It is a lane reader, never overrecting to the pattern. For a pearl it reacts more like a solid. Keeps me farther right on the lane and lets me stay in the broken down track area longer. Drilled 5" pin to PAP which is a good layout for my slower style (14-16mph). I have issues with early hook and breakdown and this ball combats all of that for me. Best ball from the Clutch line for me by far. Has worked the best on Red pattern and Kegel Challenge patterns. Good carry ball seems to always keep coming - hard arc reaction on the backend. Tried it box finish and at 3000 abralon. BOTH ways reaction was good and carry did not suffer in the duller state but it did give me an opportunity to throw it on heavier patterns. Double Clutch Pearl for me is a little eariler and less backend than Shedder and Longshot. If your a slower style power stroker this is a great benchmark ball from AMF!

AMF has a benchmark By Edrock1969 from Indianapolis, IN
Reviewed on: 1/19/2011
Verified Reviewer Describe Yourself:Pro Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Image Submitted by Reviewer:Customer Image (AMF has a benchmark) This ball, when I first saw it and looked at the numbers on it. I figured it was skid/flip. So I drilled a 5x5 for myself. My pap is 5 15/16 x 5/16. My hand is kind of heavy. Once I started throwing it on different patterns, pba experience, houseshot. I realized that this ball is a benchmark ball for the AMF line. You can lay it out like I have and make it a little skidflippy, or you can drill it more aggressive and use it on a lot of fresh house shot or pba experience patterns(chameleon) for example. This is a great match of coverstock to core. I would say that like when you are using a favorite and the shape is a little flat. You can go to this ball with a similar drill and this core will give you a different look. For example I was bowling on chameleon with bank pearl with pin above finger,cg in grip and thumbhole drilled through mass bias. I started to lose my hit, the core/coverstock was using up and leaving flat tens. So I only shot 206 2nd game. After two more tenpins I switched to Double Clutch and shot 217 last game, missing a spare in the tenth. If I had of stayed with pearl, I would've probably shot 180. On house pattern with this layout it comes off dries real nice. Not as angular as longshot or shredder, but enough. I think this ball can be even used on fresh house patterns for guys with higher rev rates with a little more aggresive of a layout. This ball is definitely AMF's benchmark Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Great quality ball By YULAW from LONG BEACH, CA
Reviewed on: 1/21/2011
Verified Reviewer Pros:Great Weight, Flawless Surface, Attractive Design, Comfortable Grip Best Uses:Upgrade, Tournaments Describe Yourself:Casual Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Came in the mail today, took it to the lanes asap. Tip-grip drilled, weight with the core took a few tries to get use to. But other than that, this ball is awesome. Charcoal Gray/Burnt Orange Pearl finish is amazing. I originally thought it was red on black due to this product being out of stock and waiting three weeks. Overall I give this a five star rating for appearance and performance. This is a very sexy ball. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.
