About PEARL

At PEARL Lacrosse, our goal remains the same: advance technologies to bridge the gap between the products that athletes deserve/need and what is currently available on the market. The first PEARL ball was engineered in 2015 to address the greasing issue with rubber lacrosse balls. Our team introduced the American made PEARL X, a greaseless game day ball. PEARL X is now the official ball of the NCAA® Championships.

Our team has expanded the PEARL line by adding LT, a textured ball, NX, a no-bounce practice ball, and Dual X, the first two-toned lacrosse ball. PEARL continues to innovate the lacrosse ball and create products that are reliable, consistent and innovative.
