the xcel particle would make for a nice flip ball if u get a 1 inch pin and put the pin under the ring with the "bomb" stacked under the pin. keeping the center of gravity spinning tight inside the grip will give you a more flip reaction.

thats how i have mine (a light shine over box finish) makes a nice flip especially when other balls fade thru the carrydown.

joe, if u dont know ebonites releases and dont throw ebonite products, you shouldnt give out advice.

i believe any ball, particle or reactive can flip. surf. prep. and drilling will do the job!

I would go with the Big Time Pearl. Brunswick Lefty I would have to disagree with you on that one. Mine flips and flips hard.

I have a XXcel and Xcel Particle, both handle the oil very well. The XXcel handles more oil than the particle, but for what they are designed for, both are a good team, IMO

I think I will get a Big Time first.. but can someone explain to me the definition of low loaded particle?
Title: Re: What would be a better choice?

particle balls with a low load is closer to resin.

Aren't particle balls just resin balls with, well, particles in the coverstock?

Just realise, big Time and show time are both same in terms of price, but it seems that big time is worth more for the money! ;D

I put a light Polish on my V2 Power and I shot great with it last night. I had an outstanding ball reaction all night.
Title: Re: What would be a better choice?
Post by: BowlerKidR on July 06, 2005, 12:06:31 PM
I say the Big Time due to the core. Yes both the big time and the Xcel particle can flip, but i think due to the weight block in the Big Time you should go that way since thats how it was designed

I love my big time, it is definitely flippy, but I have a dull polish on it and it is not the ball I throw for heavy oil.

I've realised the difference of the core between V2 Power and Strong/R.. Strong/R would be a better flip ball if I shined it up because of the pancake sized flipblock ?

Oh yah, forgeting to mention, I'm playing on the outside line.

The V2 Power is a Flip ball. I play the outside line also.

Okay, how did you drilled the ball and shined it up..

I have more speed than revs, and I read reviews on Big time that it's a ball that i should find .. lols
Title: Re: What would be a better choice?
Post by: tonybowls on July 07, 2005, 08:13:06 AM
Exactly how mine is Drilled I really couldn't say? It's drilled Strong I know that and it's drilled to go long and then Flip which is exactly what it does. I had a light coat of Polish put on before I bowled the other night and the ball reacted great. I'm going to keep it Polished from now on. Hope this helps.

I need someone to answer this to me immmediiatteellyy..

anyone experience short life span of the coverstock on Big Time?
Title: Re: What would be a better choice?

Not at all, I bought my BT Sanded the week it came out and have put a solid 80 games on it and still reacts the same for me. I got the BT Pearl the week that came out and still no problems, but it doesnt have nearly as many games as the Sanded.

Oh, thank you guys. now my doubts are cleared.

for particle balls, usually I see a change of reaction about 200 or so, but for BT, and the comments provided, i think i'm quite sure that this ball would last long enough for me before I get another ball!
