Thanks LL, miss being on this site with you old guys..haha Just to let you know, 2 main balls in my bag for the wet/dry cause I stink at it too, 2k high glossed Money (Impending Doom, still have my staff ball) and a D2Z 4k high glossed (what's that 16-17 yrs old?).
I like the smoothness I get out of the high load particles polished, learned this a long time ago when I polished one of my Track GP2's and it was literally 8-10 boards weaker than GP#1. The reason I like the old reactives is because technology wasn't there yet. Coverstock and pores were not the same then.
What most people forget is that when each ball is created, it is created and designed for a specific purpose and oil handling need at "that" particular time. For you old timers, think back, a yellow dot hooked and the LT-48 hooked more than that and then Angles/Hammers out hooked that. The dry or friction I see on the west coast is true dry, I can probably throw urethane to an LT but carry will suffer a little and nowhere near accurate enough anymore to do so. So even old reactives are more than strong enough to react on this condition.
I even have a few pieces with my Leong-Hall layout and a few with pin past pap so it can reverse flare to hold the hook back. They work well occasionally so I know it's still just me being able to match up ball to physical game better...never ending learning experience.
