The lifetime of a lacrosse ball can vary from person to person so we can’t say for certain, but we can say with confidence that you will never have to throw out a PEARL X, NX, or DUAL X for being greasy or hard. We have customers using the same balls they purchased in 2015. PEARL X, PEARL NX, and DUAL X balls don’t grease, but may get dirty. You can wash your PEARLS with dish soap and water to clean and remove any dirt buildup on the balls.

We’ve used an innovative chemistry and a different manufacturing process versus standard balls. To get sciencey and nerdy, rubber lacrosse balls are compounded and consist of vulcanized rubber with chemical plasticizers to make them soft. PEARL X, NX, and DUAL X lacrosse balls are made from a crosslinked compounded elastomer with no chemical plasticizers.

There are two main advantages to PEARL X balls:

• The chemical plasticizers in the rubber balls are the main culprits for a greasy ball because they separate from the elastomer over time, especially with extreme temperature, sun exposure, precipitation, and friction. PEARL X, NX, and DUAL X lacrosse balls' engineered elastomer crosslinks at the time of manufacture and helps the ball keep a more consistent surface texture.
• PEARL X's chemistry yields an advanced material that won’t harden or change over time like the vulcanized rubber used in standard balls (and car tires).

Lacrosse is growing and can now be seen on TV. PEARL X in Optic Yellow provides better visibility and tracking on the field, in your backyard and on game film.

Optic Yellow was chosen as the color of choice for tennis balls and was adopted by the PLL in 2021 to increase visibility on TV.

Our Optic Yellow is a PEARL X ball - greaseless, made in the USA and game-day certified.  Optic is the standard lacrosse ball chosen by the NFHS and NCAA.  PEARL is the official ball of PLL, WLL, NCAA Championships, and World Lacrosse.

Yes. PEARL X, PEARL LT , and DUAL X balls are SEI certified and meet NOCSAE ® & NCAA standards for game play. Each ball has the NOCSAE ®, SEI, and NCAA stamps on them.  PEARL NX balls are for practices only and are not game balls.

PEARL X, PEARL NX, and PEARL DUAL X balls are manufactured in the United States. Our raw materials and manufacturing process is in Georgia.

PEARL NX lacrosse balls use an even more intricate chemistry than the PEARL X ball. This costs us a little more so we had to mark the price up but still wanted to keep it lower than traditional training balls.

The texture. PEARL LT is the first textured ball that is SEI certified, meeting NOCSAE® standards and is official for game play.
