Title: does Brunswick have any particle balls
Post by: Big Jake on March 06, 2010, 01:21:14 PM

Hey Big "B"

the Sidewinder was a light-load particle pearl and either the Intense or Raging Inferno had particle i believe.

not sure about current line

Boy, talk about ancient history here.  The Swamp Monster?

The Sidewinder and Mammoth were probably the last Brunswick particles.  Their newer balls like the Seige line and C-System are reactive.  There have been particle balls marketed as reactive (to avoid some of the stigma of so-called "particle death") like the Paradigm but to my knowledge, none of those new balls have any particle load.

I believe the BVP Goliath was a particle ball.

The BVP Ambush was a low load particle ball. IMHO that ball death thing is over rated. My Fuze Eliminator has at least a thousand games on it and still hooks a ton. It is low load particle in a modified PowerKoil 18 base.

The current line does not have any particle balls.  A couple of years ago, the Sidewinder was particle...and before that the Mammoth, Swamp Monster and Goliath as already mentioned....

total inferno had a particle load in it as well
if you want good particle coverstocks look at the 900 global and AMF stuff that is out right now
some of their stuff has great mica particle covers

The power groove plum that was particle pearl was amazing. Very smooth and very strong. Never died on me either, just finally had too much new stuff. Should have kept it though.

Sidewinder is a great ball. It gives a different look that I don''t get from anything else I have.. Holds the line and very smooth.. Handles cover changes and release changes very well
Had great success with a leverage drilled Goliath too. Sanded to 360 grit sandpaper then polished...

Have a Rico drilled Mammoth now but haven''t really used it that much..It is sanded down and use it mainly on floods.
