Lunatic

Is the Lunatic solid or pearl?  Also, for anyone who has thrown this ball, what do you think of it?

No particle in this ball.

Very smooth midlane read, with A little pop off the pattern. Doesn't over react off the dry but can still make it back from the outside on THS.  Check out buddies vid on it, gives me a smillar reaction.  Doug Sterner gave a great review on it here.  I like it as a bench mark ball, battling over reaction on the backend, and sport shots like cheetah

It's not just San Antonio, MOST mid-high end reactive balls solid or pearl have particle in them. They just don't market them as such because of the bad reputation "particle" balls have.

humm, if all secrets of production were let out it might kill the industry. 1st generation particle covers were maintenance nightmares for the customer as well as the pro shops, many of the 1st gen balls suffered the "cover death syndrome". Today's covers have a higher friction ratio than older covers due to improvements in formulations and additives, many covers have micro or nano particles that are hard to see or can not been seen and do not lead to cover death. I really do not see the issue here the higher load of particles allow more hook, the price the owner pays is more maintenance required to keep the ball hooking, regardless of what you buy there is always the "side effect" or down side.

To what effect you know how many proative zones are still going strong around these parts my friend has a HPH that handles more oil than any of his new equipment.  But tekneek is right they do advertise the particle anymore unless you are legends and lanemasters or visionary the big three went away from the word particle and they sell more balls for it so it is what it is.
--------------------
Can I trade someone a good left arm that isnt using it, I am tired of these injury plagued seasons on a brighter note right handed getting a ton better maybe i wont go back left. (OMG who am i kidding even if i did get as good right handed, i would go back left in a heartbeat if i had no pain.)

How ironic, because despite the presence of particles in their balls, Lnaemasters/Legends and Visionary are THE brands with the reputation for the longest lasting balls.
