Title: need heavy oil ball
Post by: bigfoot on September 16, 2003, 09:18:17 AM: As you can tell from my profile, I'm currently lacking a heavy oil ball. I don't need anything really extreme as most of the time my SmashR can handle the oil I run in to. However, having a higher-end particle ball would definitely give me more options, especially if I could throw it on the medium/heavy oil as well.

I'm kind of partial to Brunswick or Ebonite as I really like my SmashR and Vortex, but I'd consider others as well.

Here's the primary balls I'm considering:
Brunswick Raging Inferno
Ebonite V2 Particle

Others that could fit the bill:
Brunswick Swamp Monster (might need to be polished a bit??)
Ebonite V2 Strong
Ebonite Apex Obsession

I'm not in any big hurry as I probably won't buy anything for a month or two yet.
Right now, I'm just trying to learn as much as I can so I can make a somewhat informed decision when I do get around to it. I would appreciate any feedback or advice concerning these balls as well as other recommendations.

I've seen so many people with their "buzzsaws" (super carbide) Icon300, Hammer vicious particle. They all seem to get screwed in heavy oil and just keep sliding. Yes I realize this is an unpopular belief. enough said!

I would recommend the Cherry bomb but the Red not black(haven't seen the black to recommend it) or something I just got which is the Storm X-factor Reloaded (pearl particle). I just think that most people benefit from "saved energy" even when on saturated lanes. More so the X-factor reloaded, because it can be played out to dry or kept inside for a tighter line.
