Mercury and Saturn
« on: January 21, 2006, 04:23:51 AM »
Currently, using Storm Hot Rods Hybrid and Pro Stock Pearl.  Looking for something with a little higher RG for tamer reaction for lighter oil and dryer conditions.  Storm offers the Tropical which has the reactor coverstock which is still quite a bit of ball.  
The Roto planets line seem to be marketed for such conditions.  The larger weight block seems like a good idea, for a decent back end (edited - meant to imply arcing backend that will have decent carry).  
Just starting my search for such a ball.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

large round-ish weight block is NOT good for backend, but IS good for earlier roll! The high RG does help save energy for enough backend, however.
