The Ion Max Pearl takes the oil-fighting strength of the original Ion Max and adds a quicker, controlled response at the breakpoint with its NRG™ Pearl coverstock. Its low RG Element Max™ A.I. Core delivers strong midlane read and powerful downlane motion, while maintaining the dependable, smooth arc bowlers trust. From league play to tournament environments, the Ion Max Pearl offers a versatile reaction that stays in control as conditions change. Find your moment. MAXimize your game. At the heart of the ball is the Element Max A.I. Core, a low RG asymmetric design built to rev quickly and create a strong, defined midlane motion. Its design extends mass along the X-Axis, adding over 50% more flare potential and creating a more dynamic overall motion. Layout choices play a significant role, with drilling closer to the PSA increasing intermediate differential and giving pro shop operators precise control when dialing in reaction shape. The Ion Max Pearl features Storm’s trusted NRG™ cover formulation in a polished pearl finish, engineered to provide a clean look through the front of the lane while maintaining midlane traction. Finished with Power Edge, the NRG™ Pearl delivers a faster, more decisive response at the breakpoint while maintaining control through the pins. This balance of cleanliness and traction allows the Ion Max Pearl to perform consistently across a variety of lane conditions and playing styles.
