I don't know why this is but, a buddy of mine used a venom in league play all year at my toughest-shot house.
And he used it successfully on a light/dryish oil shot!
Because I already knew the core of the Venom, I brought in my Triumph the next week to see if I could play also. My Triumph only lasted the 1st game and a half, before it started burning up.
For some reason (must be the coverstock), he was able to play with his Venom for all three games on a seriously light, light oil shot! Go figure.
Gary Parsons and I were talking about this, and he said it made sense, because a particle pearl cover would seem like urethane on a dryish shot. Just depends on the total load that's in the coverstock.
