This is the new arsenal artillery.
« on: January 23, 2006, 10:48:11 AM »
Goo LS cover and rev master core.  This is a pearl reactive cover from what BTM says.  I don't have the specs but from what BTM says this has a low rg and high diff.  BTM says this ball has the strongest back end out of the series.

The GOO LS cover?  A different core?  Why call it an Arsenal?  From the reviews this ball will be hard to control on sport type conditions for high rev players.  This makes sense to me because of the GOO LS cover (responds to friction).

My initial impression is not favorable.  First i'm not pleased about the core because I really thought it would be similar to the AR,ANGULAR and AGGRESSIVE cores.  Next I didn't like the XCEPTION or DELTA 1 and I feel a lot of that is because of the cover: GOO LS.

For those of you that like the core will probably like this ball. Myself, i'm disappointed.

Keep in mind folks, You have only seen GooLS on asymmetrical balls.. which, by the very nature of the core, lose axis rotation faster and generally create more torque at the breakpoint.  Symmetrical balls have a longer transition phase. I think that you will be in for a big surprise when you see and throw this ball. I know for a fact the BTM High Rev ball tester is chomping at the bit to pull this thing out of his bag.

If he is chomping at the bit then why did he review it the way he did.  They said this is not a good ball for a sport pattern for the high rev player.  I tend to agree because I feel the Goo LS responds to friction so much that it's uncontrollable.  I have had the Delta 1 and the xception both use the Goo LS.  I don't have them anymore if that tells you anything.

The Goo LS may work for some but it just doesn't suit my game well.  It seems like Track is going in the GOO LS direction.  It seems that this cover will be around a while.  I hope Track has some different covers in the works.  I'm starting to like what Hammer has going with there Doom cover.

Well...this core or a variation of it....has gotten around good!

And been rolled into a bunch of great balls.

I first saw it in the Nuline Virus!

http://www.ballreviews.com/Reviews/Reviews.asp?ManufacterID=9&BallID=205

See Virus core...note that it is slightly higher RG and lower diff from the Revmaster version of this very similar core!

It was also included in the Deadly Virus....AMF Victory SPT....and the Wow Pearl.

ALL very good balls.  I liked the core so much I purchased the whole list above...except the revmaster!

A friend of mine just pulled out his Victory SPT that he had put to restfor about 3 months...and he was impressed all over again!

I loved all of mine with this core!

REgards,

LuckyLefty, i was looking up stuff with this core last night too and noticed these similarities because i'm soon to be getting a NIB WOW Pearl myself, that plus the Agressive and probably the Artillery in a few months should about see me right for balls this year.
