jjweb... this ball is a new coverstock, a combination of both particle & pearl, but it's not. Kinda weird to describe it. This ball is super clean through the heads, and it is angular in the backends, but I feel that you might want to drill a weight hole to even out the reaction or you will have over/under all day long. Drilling a weight hole will make the ball roll better in the backends (still strong & angular, but controllable) which excels in tourney/sport shots. I have used this ball often the past few weeks, and very impressed with it. Go ahead and get one.. you won't be disappointed at all.
