Nomad Pearl Review

[John Brodersen]

Ball specs – 15 lbs 3 oz, 3.12 top weight, 3.25 inch pin.

The Nomad Pearl was drilled using the dual angle drilling method. I was looking for additional length and a stronger move down lane to compliment the Nomad Solid (please refer to my Nomad solid review for specifics). The layout used was a 5-inch pin to PAP distance with a 55-degree drill angle and a 35-degree VAL angle. This placed the pin above the ring finger about 1 inch and the non-marked mass bias just below and about 2 ½ inches to the right of the grip centerline. The CG ended up 1 1/2 inches under and to the right of the ring finger but no extra hole was needed. The cover was left in OOB condition.

The Nomad Pearl is very clean through the fronts with about an additional two feet of length than the Nomad Solid. The backend move was quicker and also stronger off the spot (more angular) than the solid. The Nomad Pearl provides tremendous recovery and the pins really scoot when hit by this powerful pearl !

With the return of the “Rotary Core” combined with the new, tweaked cover stock, the Nomad Pearl and the Nomad solid is a hard combination to beat for those medium conditions. The Roto Grip Sword line continues to advance in performance.
