You can see flecks in the lighter colored one on the right.Light blue, with some marbling.
Darker one on the left is a DEEP purple, almost black. Solid color, with no marbling.
The lighter one looks like the Carbides on Lane 1's website, but couldn't find one that looks like the darker one.
Are they the Pearl and regular Carbide (just darker than the picture on the website)???
Any ideas on a surface to start with on them as the both could use a re-surfacing????
Thanks for any help.

where as the one on the left is the original carbide.
for the orig. i would go with 400 grit plus rough buff or maybe Quick Kut & Polish
and for the pearl id go 800 or 1000 plus polish.

I would say your right, unless the darker one also says "Super" on the Carbide logo.

both balls do very well with polish, I never found both to be nice oilers but with polish they both were great benchmark balls, prior to the XP my highest set was with the carbide solid

If they have the same labels exactly that is what you have. I sold over 250 Solid Carbide Solids and Pearls and all the Solid Carbide Solids were dark navy. There was no shading difference like in the Carbide Plus. Some were lighter than others..
Hope this helps.

. . . don't go 4k Abralon with the Secret Sauce
. . . 2K should be your max with that - recommended for the rev dominant
. . . 1k Abralon plus Sauce fro tweeners
