Title: Diesel Particle
Post by: Buckwild on March 14, 2005, 04:39:22 PM

Has anyone had this ball in the past or is currently using it? I'm talking about the Red and Black one. On today's conditions, what would it best suited for? If I polished it, what type of reaction would I expect? It is drilled righty with the pin under and between the fingers and the cg kicked out to the right about a inch, with a weight hole.

I enjoy mine and polishing is not something I recommend. However, It doesn't respond when I crank it. I found that I have to let it roll more in the oil to get the best reaction for my game. The back end is very nice without flippingtoo hard, like a good solid particle should.

I have had one for 3 years,.......very predictable roll and a good back-end reaction. Its not skid/flip, its more of a heavy arc. Great ball for the heavy side of medium. For heavy or floods, I would recommend something stronger. Its a great ball. I have a 300 and a 833 set with mine. Although its discontinued, many on-line shops still have them and you will also see some on ebay from time to time.

Still one of my favorites! Ball excels in the oil. Our local center puts out a ton and the Diesel Particle has no trouble cutting through it. Mine is drilled strong- 3 3/8 X 4. Good midlane read and smooth, arcing roll. I've never polished mine, but I suppose it would just add some more length. Not a flippy ball by any means. Great hitting Hammer! If you can get it for cheap, I'd say go for it. Ball is getting harder to find. Keep us posted on what you do.

Thanks for the replies. I have the ball drilled with the pin under and between the fingers, and the cg kicked out to the right an inch, and a weight hole on the PAP. What type of reaction should I expect with this drilling?

I think you'll get a fairly controllable smooth, but hard arc.
