I believe the old Cuda/C pearl used the Flexcel coverstock. With the SuperCuda, Columbia started using Super-Flex. The Msngr Ti BSP is Super-Flex. I have seen it skid/flip and you can make it do that with certain drillings, with certain releases, and on certain oil patterns, but for the most part, this ball is made to arc. It is closer in nature to the Boss Pearl, which I am using now, NOT the Boss Tour Pearls, which were much more skid/flip in nature.
This ball, the Messenger Ti B/S/P, is a great compliment (or is that complement) to the new Wicked B/R/T.
