Strong Pearl Reactive
« on: July 16, 2004, 11:44:27 PM »
Could someone please tell me what in the Columbia reactive (mid-price) line would be similar to a.  the Cuda C Pearl with the pink pin and b. the original red Pulse?

I have both of these balls and, while they are still usable, they have lost some of their pop on the back end.  I hope to get one or two new balls to replace then before the fall league season begins.

Any help would be appreciated.

With its Flexcel coverstock, I wonder if the Cuda/C pearl would be considered a strong pearl these days.

I think the Ego might be a very good replacement; Lucky Lefty has posted about his success with it and its reactions many times. I'd take his word for it.

The Hyde may be the best equivalent, in today's oils, for the Red Pulse. To replace the Red Pulse with a very close replicant, you might want to sand a Super-Trooper. The RG is slightly lower, though, but it is a small flaring solid polished (so it needs sanding to replicate the Pulse) Super-Flex, just like the Red Pulse. (Today's Super-Flex might be slightly stronger than 19997's version of Super-Flax.)

The ego and wired are great mid priced balls worth buying also the sheer havoc from track( columbia ) is a great ball too.

kotm,

don't forget the Panic is a pearl; the Super Trooper is a solid.

There does seem to be a difference ... even if I can't see it.
