The polished Galea Pearl coverstock allows the Gladiator Pearl to get through the heads easier than the solid version and ends with a sharper break (sharper arc – not snap). The low RG allows this ball to get into a roll earlier than most pearl reactives which allows it to handle carrydown better.
The GLADIATOR line is equipped with an asymmetrical, dense center core design with a lighter wrap. This allows for a quicker revving ball that begins to roll in the midlane while keeping a controllable continuous arc reaction on the backend. The “MOHAWK” on the core creates a mild mass bias for fine tuning the balls reaction.
The GLADIATOR core takes a candy wrapper shape and adds a “MOHAWK” to produce a mild mass bias and better pin positions. The med-low RG ball with a medium differential creates a good midlane roll with a continuous arc reaction on the backend. With similar characteristics but a more durable cover – anyone who liked the Executioner line should love the Gladiators.
