(If I posted this previously, I apologize. Don't recall the answer, in any case)

Is the Threshold's "NexGen Reactive w/MicroParticles" considered to be a Soaker coverstock?

I sure hope so. Just threw a few games on medium oil with either a slightly longer than average pattern (or slightly heavier oil in the heads), after sanding the stock one to 2000 grit, with an Abralon pad. It hardly ever made the turn, playing a slight swing (16/17 at arrows, out to 8/9 at breakpoint), that (theoreticallY) milder balls had no trouble making. Threw a sheen finish solid particle and polished solid resin, both of which hooked more and more consistently.

So I'm praying this ball needs some "break-in" like all Soakers ....

(I sanded it from its base 1000 grit, because when I tried it at another house, also with medium oil with a heavier dose in the heads on Anvillanes synthetics, it made an uncontrollable left turn.)
