« on: August 06, 2006, 02:09:19 PM »
Which current Pearl Particle is everyones favorite?

I've had good success with Storm's Eraser Pearl Particle, X-Factor ACE, Pyro, and just recently added the Double Agent.

well from what ive heard particle equipment grip the lane at your feet and have a nice arc to the pocket and pearls i know for the most part skid and then flip hard into the pocket

Particle Pearl together would basically be an oxymoron, the same as saying Jumbo Shrimp


Particle pearls tend to blend those two reactions together.  The pearl helps keep the particle from gripping too much in oil and the particles help smooth out the reaction at the breakpoint.  Kinda like solid reactives.  They frequently work well in carrydown because the particles help the ball pick up its roll in the light-oil backends. and the pearl helps it get through the heads.

I think that really, the "particles hook early, pearls go longer and snap harder" thing is due to the typical cover preps that those balls have.  Most particle balls are dull to handle oil and most pearl balls are polished to help them skid.  The particle or pearl additive enhances the natural reaction you get from those particular surface preps.  How many dull pearl balls have come out recently?  How many particle balls with a high-gloss polish?
