Don't get me wrong, I am just curious how magical this new coverstock will be. Trust me it will be fun to see a ball hook 80 boards.

I remember Pat Nolan saying that this ball will NOT be skid-snap but will be very very arcy in nature, ...still strong...but arcy and controlled almost!
WOW!

particles were an awesome breakthrough!!! as you said, all of the new covers gave more friction in dry and particle finally gave friction in oil. it took the flip out of the ball and gave you a little more control due to the arc.
particle is very useful and make sure i have at least 2 in my bag at all times. i do wish they lasted longer though!

How much did they increase scores? Both reactive and urethane led to score increases in the 10's, 20's and 30's. Did particle do this? I haven't found a particle that has reacted particularly different than any solid reactive. In fact, particles have been around for a long time, the orange dots are considered particle bowling balls.
And to correct bigearv, everything attempts to hook in oil, it is that some people believe particle hooks in oil more than other coverstocks. Take a 400 grit solid reactive and tell me that doesn't hook in oil though.

Yellow Dot's??? Don't you mean the Orange Dot? Also some of the LT-48's were supposed to have some sort of particle incorporated into he shell as well.

Good call... I'm a little foggy about all those damn dots... yellow, red, orange, polka, pick a goddamn color and stick with it is what I always used to say.

Not really a giant leap. For example Jade Quantum ...hooked at your toes. The only thing that solid particle has done is to take out the extreme wet/dry out of play because the ball rolled consistant. Did not over read when used on the proper condition. The light loads are not too bad but they are very condition specific. Pearl particle is a complete different animal and it depends on the particle load.
