I don't know wether to ask here or L/LM directly.

Maybe someone here knows and can tell me:

Since know I thought the particles in Bowling balls used were made out off Siliconcarbide (SiC) the next hardest material after Diamond.

But I read on the L/LM homepage in the FAQs that they use "Carbon" particles.

Now I am a chemist... in fact a solid state chemist and have a clue about that stuff and wonder what L/LM means when they talk about "Carbon" particles... cannot be Graphit for sure

What "Carbon"-comnpound is used or is that a secret?

General:
and do different companies use differenc carbides?

I have now a Track MAchine and like the particle look and the ball keeps working though the image of particles was bad.

For half a year I am thinking to get a Terminator as a heavy oiler / med-heavy.

I dulled my Machine and it works fine on our pattern but I wanted to try the L/LM stuff....

So... anyone have a clue? Just out of interest.

I have read different reviews on the Terminator now and it seems to be a real option for my style with my med revs, good speed and the broader heavier pattern.
(I consider myself as a power stroker)

well... have to save up the money.

its the same material your thinking of grayson... they just call them super carbons.

they chose them because diamonds only were good for one size while the carbon allows them to vary the micron size.

lanemasters tends to use multiple sizes and blends to achieve the traction they like.(in some of their balls)

this is the reason i like legends/lm... always doing something no other company is doing.



(i will never forget the first time I saw a l/lm... the guy pulled out all those accessories and the ball was wrapped in plastic... i thought, "what a joke" and "talk about hypeing ur product with all that packaging"" ... I had no idea how dumb I could be till I tried one of their products)

well i wasnt 100% sure either... but knowing that they specifically said somewhere that it was the next hardest material and that l/lm are known for the best materials possible... then you know it would have to be silicon carbide...
