Is the Detour a solid or pearl? I am getting mix reviews from a lot of people. Has anyone thrown these two balls? Would they compliment each other or would they be similar?
I've been thinking of getting these two balls.
Thanks in advance.

I don't have a Detour; Columbia's website says it's a solid, Super-FLex.
I'd bet it and the CT are too close to have both, without surface changes, as the CT's core is stronger than its specs indicate.

The Detour is a solid...I'm not real familiar with the crunch time though. The Detour really reminds me of the Primal Rage with a much stronger cover. Mine tends to get through the heads ok with strong backend.

Primal Rage and Detour have the same coverstock: solid Super-Flex resin. Primal Rage

had low RG and high RG Differential cover. It was a major oiler in its day. Detour is mostly, if the reviews can be believed, for medium oil.

I wouldn't say that the Detour is a medium oil ball. It reacts on par with my Full Throttle, and that's rated as a heavy oil ball. I guess it depends on the conditions you're on, but once the Detour hits dry, man it flies.
