Wow, we had a "mini" demo day at World Class Pro Shop yesterday with the XXCEL, XCEL particle, and XCEL pearl and I was extremely impressed. I threw the XXCEL first. It was pretty dull and the backends were pretty dirty (what else is new at CAP) and this ball made such a strong turn into the pocket that I decided I would have to check out the other equipment as well.
The XCELL particle was strong in the midlane and pretty even in the back, but it was not as dull as the XXCEL... I think it had self-polished quite a bit from being tested. It still hit really well. I still want to try it with different surfaces.
I did not have a chance to really compare the pearl to the others (mainly because I kept throwing the XXCEL the whole time!!!) but I think that I had about 4 boards between each ball.
It was a treat to be able to throw these balls without purchasing them. I had moved away from Ebonite because I thought it would be impossible for them to come out with anything even close to their Cat Series and Vortexes but I think the XCELs are something special. I am glad Ebonite has come up with a way for us to test drive the equipment.
Any other equipment I should try? I usually do better with lower RGs. Also, since I have been away for so long, what would be an ideal 5 or 6 Ebonite arsenal these days? Thanks! Looking forward to it!
