Title: Coverstock base for the Goliath and Warp Zone?
Post by: Sir Bowl-A-Lot on June 10, 2005, 04:14:03 AM
They are both particle balls, this I know.  However, does anyone know what base they used for those two covers?  PowrKoil 18, Activator, etc?

Ok, I see the Goliath is a High-Load Activator+ Particle.  But what is the Warp Zone?

I do not think the Goliath's cover is Activator+ Particle as this is the latest email I received from Brunswick:

"we never named it ..............it is a combination  of   Urethanes
.....with  Particles
If you have any other questions ....Please call or write me ....

Thanks

The WZ is a solid PK 18 with medium particle load. I do not think that the Goliath has anything to do with Activator coverstock, because this coverstock is only available in the Zone and Inferno series. I do not think that Big B would let it trickle down into the BVP line "undercover". I'd rather guess that the Goliath, like the Swamp Monster, uses a solid high load PK 18 or a derivate (like the AR coverstock from the Fuze balls), maybe with a new/up-to-date particle generation.
