Is the pearl reactive HYPE a good replacement for...
« on: November 29, 2009, 01:03:47 PM »
the orbit extreme pearls?

  I love my blue/white OE and intended to get another before they disappeared, just didn't have the funds.

 How about it guys, does it fit the bill or is it too strong?

I think the Hype reactive will give you a stronger reaction, more midlane read.  If you have used or seen the vibe series this takes it head on.  Smooth midlane read with a pop on the back.  Gives you a great look on multiple patterns. One day you can used polished, next day you can throw some surface on it and get the look you want on that lane condition, sport or house.  4k with no polish keeps it tacky with out the super snappy backend for your THS.  This cover/core combo can really flare, gives you the ''sideways'' type ball motion just a little tamer, 4 or 5 boards tamer.  Which 1 ups the vibe line personally.  Stronger, better core/cover combo personally.  More versatility in the cover....  not to blow the global horn but the covers are just easy to tune up for your game, dull or polished.....

The OE is a lot stronger than I would have guessed, it has saved my butt quite a few nights so far this year. I'm gonna guess the urethane would be closer, my OE is really smooth for a pearl.

The original mutli color one,

with low RG, 2.49 and medium differential, .035"
or
the newer blue/red and blue/white ones,
http://www.amf300.com/index.cfm?p=archive&bid=41
http://www.amf300.com/index.cfm?p=archive&bid=42
which had a higher RG, 2.56 and lower Differential, .024" ????
