Pick the Pearl if
- You swing fast and want a crisper response: the core is firmer.
Pick the Vertex 05 W if
- You want to spend less: it is £10 cheaper delivered today (£219.99 against £229.50).
- You want comfort: the core is soft, which gives more help on slow balls and tends to be kinder to the arm.
Not a factor, because they are the same on both: shape (both diamond), balance (both medium), weight, level (both advanced).
