The difference, now a days, between a solid and a pearl are minuscule....and if one does not concur, take 2 balls of the exact same type that come in a solid and a pearl...lay em out the same and knock the surfaces down to 360-500 then smooth up to whatever desired surface, then throw...the same amount of times. Unless the density of the materials used changes, i.e. pearl additive...the reaction does not change. Case in point, all solids tend to have surface and pearls are shiny....what dictates reaction?

Kid,

I agree.  The one I am referring to is purple and black.

I've actually seen some in the local pro shop that look more like polished solids like the pink black above and another color scheme?

Thoughts?

For whatever it's worth, as far as I know all Slingshots for sale in the USA are pearls. However, some one (who I thought might know) suggested to me a year or so back that the Black/Pink Slingshot used Activator+ coverstock, not the PK 17 used on all the rest. That said, I have no corroboration for this statement. I had intended to try one but never got around to it. Activator+ often acts more like a solid, except when highly polished.
