How many particle balls in your arsenal?
« on: May 22, 2006, 12:08:27 PM »
I have two in my arsenal. One for heavy and medium. Mine are the Swamp monster and the fuze eliminator. I think it's important to have at least 2 in your arsenal load and low load particles.

I have 2 of them but, I only really like one of them. The one I like is a Pyro. I have always been a fan of Storm particles but, I have not matched up with the traditional reaction of particle balls and thus, the types of particle most companies use.

XXXCel is not particle. At least I think. The first two Xcel and XXcel are particle but I believe the last is reactive.

I have a XXcel and soon to be Big Time. What I love best is their predictability and ability to read the pattern.

Four of the six I own.  Black PG, Icon2, Mutant, and Triple Threat.  Only my plastic ball and Thing Lives are not particle.  I don't carry the PG, I2, or plastic, and don't even remember the last time I used them.  The Mutant and Triple Threat only sparingly (not "for spares").

hammer real deal(pin above ring, MB at thumb)
track animal(pin below ring, MB strong)

the animal saves quite a bit more for the back then the real deal.  Tend to use the real deal more as of late since it gives me a more controllable look.  The animal carries TOO well(lol), lots of "pocket" 4-9s with that ball.

my jade quantum and v2 particle never get used anymore.

I have 5. The Storm Trifecta, Hammer Particle Pearl (which is now actually pretty dull now and needs a resurfacing), Rotogrip RSP, Ebonite V2 Particle and the Morich Mayhem which is a combination of particle and reactive that Morich calls a multi-reactional particle coverstock. I will usually keep 2 in the bag. Right now the Trifecta and the V2.

Had 2, XXcel and Xcel, selling both. Changed this season to Hawg Wild and OverTime. Those two 'fit' me and the conditions I see most of the time.

FYI, XXXcel is a reactive, same cover as the OverTime.
