What are the differences in PEARL lacrosse balls?

Since creating “The Pearl” back in 2016, Guardian Sports continued to innovate and expand our product lines within lacrosse creating a company solely dedicated to lacrosse, PEARL.

We know buying lacrosse balls can be more confusing than it should be, so we wanted to simplify it for you. In terms of product offerings, PEARL now has three different balls: PEARL X, PEARL LT, and PEARL NX (No Bounce).

Above is a simple breakdown of the differences between our two official game balls, PEARL X and PEARL LT.

It should be noted that PEARL NX is our only lacrosse ball not certified for official gameplay since it does not meet the SEI requirements for bounce which we are actually pretty proud of. Same ball as PEARL X just without the bounce.  Check it out below:
