Got to throw the Xcels today at a demo day. We had 4 shots to throw on, THS, 42ft sport, 35ft sport and a simulated 2nd shift shot but it was playing tight for everyone. I could have thrown the particle one all day. I was able to hit all 4 shots with it. I think it does what they say as I really liked the predictable roll with the strong backend. The pearl worked good for me too on the ths and 35 ft sport.
