How It Felt in My Testing
The Pearl has a smooth first-contact feel. It does not shout for attention, which is part of why I liked it.
On long rallies it helped me keep shape. Lobs, blocks, and slower viboras all came off predictably.
I used it in a defensive scoring game where every lob had to land beyond the service line. The Pearl made that task feel repeatable.
