Question says it all - does anyone know whether the Viper is a particle ball or not? The ball description does not tell anything definitive.

Background is that my pro shop has the Elite balls in store, thanks to Brunswick's national distributor who has also taken the related Elite stuff into the current assortment (at surprisingly reasonable prices, only the Aliens are... expensive). Well, while inspecting the Viper closely I was surprised to find small, sparkling grits in its surface, which remind me much of my Eliminator's appearance if you take a close look. like classic carbide particle. This discovery inspired the idea of a light or medium (at best)load particle ball, with a pretty strong and rolly core.

Does anyone know something for sure, beyond Elite's marketing blah?

It's a solid color, and while that's not the end of the story, Brunswick used to be unable to make multi-colored particle balls. If that ball was designed before the move to Mexico (can't remember), then it's probably a particle. They made very few solid color reactives.

That's exactly what it looks like. Thanks a lot!
