About PEARL:

In 2015, to address the greasing and hardness issues of lacrosse balls, Guardian Innovations re-engineered the traditional lacrosse ball and introduced the American-made PEARL X.  PEARL has continued to innovate and now offers 3 different balls for lacrosse players:

• PEARL X (greaseless): the first lacrosse ball made in the USA.  A greaseless lacrosse ball that maintains its grip for consistent performance. Doesn’t grease & doesn’t harden, getting rid of greasers.
• PEARL LT (textured): the only textured lacrosse ball that is SEI certified and meets NOSCAE official game specifications. PEARL LT’s slight texture prolongs its grip and delays the effects of greasing.
• PEARL NX (no bounce): an American-made and designed to match the size, weight, and feel of standard lacrosse balls.  Practice balls that provide the same feel without the bounce or rebound.

*PEARL X and PEARL LT balls are SEI certified and meet NOCSAE/NFHS/NCAA standards for game play.
