Coverstocks
« on: March 01, 2015, 08:54:51 PM »
Guys does anyone know the difference between Storms R2X Pearl Reactive coverstock and the R3S Pearl.

How would their reactions compare?

What lane conditions would best suit each coverstock?

R3S for me on the virtual tour XG was felt of course stronger than the nano pearl cover, which the nano was stronger than R2X.  I got a good amount of length but really had to keep speed up on the ball cuz it really wanted to take off.  It is stronger.. My guess is around the nano pearl without the particle additive....

I have the tour pearl sle with the rs3 pearl . . it is def stronger.  When the polish is knocked off of it I can play Montreal on the fresh!  Now I need to polish the crap out of it again to have it not burn up on the THS lol

As far as the reaction .. .it reminds me of the tour nano but with a bit more length.  It reads the midlane more like a hybrid than a pearl.

Thanks Guys

My partner has both the Optimus and the Optimus Supreme (she loves the Supreme, I am amazed this has not been released world wide) and is now looking at purchasing a Optimus X. Interesting to see comment on the Tour Pearl SLE my local pro shop also as this in stock. Might be worth drilling one up

Thanks

Jim
