The Match-Up series replaces the Matches in the Hotline for Storm this season. Like the Matches, there is both a solid version and a pearlized version. The Match-Up Pearl shares the same polished box finish and coverstock as theMatch Pearl. The difference in the Match Up Pearl comes from its new Stinger 2.0 core design. This symmetrical weight block offers a higher RG of 2.57″ and a higher differential of 0.035″ compared to the original Stinger core that was used in the Matches. The higher RG pushes the Match Up Pearl farther down the lane than the Match Pearl, and the higher differential allows it to have more recovery down lane.
You’ll find some killer, new weight block technology in the new Match Ups. The Stinger 2.0 Core offers more flare potential and hook than the original version featured in the Match. This added power allows you to get more entry angle and better pin carry when you need it. The proven Reactor coverstock formula wraps this new core and, together, it creates a worry-free path to the pocket. The Match-Up – because matching up is essential to winning.
The Stinger 2.0 Core offers more flare potential and hook than the original version featured in the Match. This added power allows you to get more entry angle and better pin carry, the key to higher scores.In use for over a decade, the Reactor coverstock is still going strong. When something has been this successful there is no reason to get rid of it. Reactor material is moderately aggressive, but still offers a fair amount of control without over-reacting on the backend.
