Title: V2 Dry vs. Scout Particle
Post by: Ric Clint on June 16, 2003, 09:45:21 AM

What's would be the difference in these 2 balls if both were polished to 3000-4000? Both are particle balls for drier lanes and both a have lower flaring weight blocks.

I know the Scout Particle has a higher differential, but my Scout Particle goes very long even on dry lanes and has a very controlled backend.

Will the V2 Dry have more backend or something???



Thanks!

well, the Scout is a solid particle and the V2 is a pearl particle with less flare potential. Also, you have to be VERY careful about how and with what you polish these balls. The Columbia particle are veyr susceptible to be ing made into resin balls by too strong a sanding/gridning process. They are softer particles than Ebonite's particles.

Comparisons must be made on an equality basis ...

If you actually sanded or polished both balls, I don't think you will have equal or even similar surfaces anymore.... So the comarison may not be valid, although you CAN compare any two things nomatter what they are. My point is I am not not sure these 2 balls can be compared once they have been "marble-ized".

Is this an apples and oranges comparo?
