As a maximizer, some revs, a strong side roll and softer speed I see big differences in my reactions also.
From Brunswicks website..regarding activator.
In the mid-lane: The Ultra-Low RG core used in the Inferno provides strong mid-lane recovery while its Activator coverstock provides improved traction in the oil with a smoother, more effective reaction off the dry. This combination reduces over/under reaction by making the wet play less wet and the dry, less dry, effectively allowing the bowler to create more area.
On the back-ends: The Inferno’s Activator coverstock is powerful and continuous from the breakpoint through the pins. Improved traction in the oil allows the Inferno to bite through the carry down and aggressively change direction without breaking loose from the lane. The strong rolling characteristics of the Ultra-Low RG core make this move more readable allowing you to open up the lane.
At the pins: The Activator coverstock used on the Inferno creates lower, more active pin action for improved carry.
Translation, more hook in oil, less hook and reaction to dry!
Perfect....For the tour!

Or, what particles were suppossed to be! If you want hard quick response to dry, pure reactive balls are STILL the way to go! If you want hook in the oil and smoothness of break ACTIVATOR baby!
