Title: BigTime Pearl = Apex Adrenaline?
Post by: rowdy on July 26, 2005, 09:40:45 AM

Forgive me if this has been covered yet... Appears that the cores are the same, the covers are the same, the RG/Diff is the same- Anybody Know? The Adrenaline was my favorite of the Apex line - I would love it if the BTP was the remake. TIA!!!

C'mon.  No one would release a ball that was the same as another but with a different finish.  

Seriously, I thought the original BT was a solid and this is a pearl.  That, in addition to the 1000- vs 4000-grit finish.

The big time has the apex adrenaline core with a stronger and longer lasting cover stock.  The big time pearl is the same as the big time except sanded to 4000 grit and polished.

I don't see how a solid can become a pearl just by polishing it!!?
