Its symmetric core design makes it an excellent choice for players wanting consistent ball reaction without aggressive backend movement.
Performance Analysis
Performance Analysis
The Track Stealth Pearl combines Track’s QR-9 Pearl Reactive coverstock with the symmetric Stealth Core to create a balanced mid-performance bowling ball. With an RG of 2.48 and differential of .056, this ball offers moderate flare potential of 4-5 inches, providing enough hook potential for medium-heavy oil while maintaining predictability. The 1500 grit polished factory finish allows the ball to clear the front part of the lane cleanly before making a controlled move toward the pocket.
The symmetric core design ensures consistent and repeatable ball motion, making it an ideal stepping stone for bowlers moving up from entry-level equipment. While it may not provide the aggressive backend reaction of modern asymmetric designs, the Stealth Pearl’s strength lies in its versatility and forgiveness. The QR-9 Pearl coverstock reads the lane well in medium to heavy oil conditions, though bowlers may find it struggles on truly flooded lane conditions where more aggressive coverstocks would be preferred.
Who Is This Ball For?

The Pros
- • Clean length through front part of lane

Bowlers Say
Bowlers say the Track Stealth Pearl is a strong symmetric pearl that provides excellent skid/flip motion with controllable mid-lane read. The HK22 coverstock creates cleaner fronts and stronger backend compared to the original Stealth, making it versatile for medium to lighter oil conditions and a great benchmark ball when lanes break down.

Bowlers frequently mention:
So last year I was a big fan of the Track Stealth. It was a very smooth and controllable ball that hit hard. The Pearl version in my opinion is cleaner, but not as much as I would have expected. I see it reading the mid-lane and having a large footprint like a hybrid might have. It has the new HK22 built into the coverstock and from what I've seen in other balls, the HK 22 likes to react to friction so that may explain the large footprint and extra power. No matter the reason, I like what I'm seeing from this ball. I was drilled at 65 x 3-1/2 x 25.

Recently, I had a chance to drill the brand new Track Stealth Pearl. I have had very good luck with the original Stealth winning a NEBA with one back in December, 2022 so I figured I would give the pearl version a try. The Stealth Pearl has the same symmetrical core as in the original Stealth- low RG/high diff. The main difference between the 2 is the QR-9 pearl reactive cover featuring the new HK-22 base to enhance back end motion. I drilled the new Stealth Pearl with a slightly different layout than the original. (New Stealth- 50 x 4 1/2 x 25, original Stealth- 45 x 4 3/4 x 35). I also went over the cover with a 4000 Siaair pad. I am very pleased with what I see in the new Stealth Pearl as it appears to have met its intended goal of being a little "longer and stronger" version of the original Stealth. A comparison between the original and the new Pearl shows the original Stealth being a little further left on the oil where the Stealth Pearl shows a little quicker response and thus, had to be a little further right. This ball will be a great benchmark ball on medium to lighter volume patterns or as a "go to" ball when the lanes are breaking down and you need a cleaner, more responsive ball downlane. The new Stealth Pearl definitely has a quicker response to friction than the original Stealth. The new Stealth Pearl by Track is currently available. See your pro shop for more information!

The Stealth Pearl is something that was desperately needed in the Track line and does not disappoint! This is a STRONG, SYMMETRIC pearl ball that is able to provide an excellent skid/flip motion that rolls through the pins with power. In my years of throwing Track balls, this is a unique ball, reminiscent of the old Scandal pearl. The Stealth Pearl is extremely versatile for both house and sport shots, and a wide range of lengths and volumes. The HK-22 coverstock makes this unlike any other symmetric pearl ball on the market. I can not recommend the Track Stealth Pearl more highly! Dave Han Track Regional Staff VISE Regional Staff

The Stealth Pearl is a stronger pearl ball. I have typically seen these having an issue with the core wanting to be too strong for the cover, so it hooks too early and too much when trying to be pretty straight, but it won't make the corner when you try to get steeper. The Stealth Pearl does not have that problem at all! It gives a continuous shape down lane that can be used on many conditions, whether flatter or more.recreational!
