Low and High-Load Particles
« on: January 29, 2004, 01:45:58 AM »
Hi all!

I'm doing some research about what ball to get to either compliment my Mutant or have my Mutant be a compliment to.  In my search of particle balls, I've seen some described as low-load and others as high-load.

I'm wondering what the difference is between low and high-load particles?

On league night, a realm of untold destruction and horror is formed.  Innocent pins are unsuspectingly pulled into this terrifying realm.  Their lives are changed forever by the terror that is unleashed upon them for the next 36 frames.  They stand in fear as they await their fate when they enter...The Danger Zone.  (Only those damn 10-pins have lived to tell the gruesome tale.)

It differs from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the rule of thumb that I've heard is that a ball with a particle loading of up to 10 percent is considered low-load, and more than 10 percent is considered high-load.  The percentage value is a measure of the percentage of the ball surface that is occupied by the particles in the coverstock.

Hope this helps.
