Is the WCR...
« on: July 31, 2008, 12:20:30 AM »
a solid or pearl ball?  Some reviews here on BR say it's a pearl but on the L/LM website it doesn't say either but to me it looks like a solid...

Anyone who knows?

Are we talking about the Burl wood/ Sienna colored one?  If so, I would have sworn it's supposed to be pearl

According to Lane Masters, it is supposed to be a highly polished solid, as was the Big-R-Bang. Both, however, look like pearls. Maybe they're solid/pearl combinations, but Lanemasters has never mentioned making such a ball.

Oddly, when the Terminator Rebellion was released in April, Galen Gentry of Lane Masters told Joe Cerrar of Bowlers' Journal that it was "their first solid resin, two piece ball since the Extreme Impact of 2002". So I'm not sure what's going on and who's telling what story to whom.

I'm operating under the assumption that WCR is a solid.

No, no, no, you're supposed to buy a ball reaction, not care about whether it's a solid or pearl or particle or whatever.  

I think this will continue to be debated as long as anyone cares about the WCR.  Anyone who's seen one will swear up and down it's a pearl.  The BRB is a little more debatable, appearance-wise, mine didn't look nearly as pearly as the WCRs I've seen.  They need to stop this crap of making solids look like pearls so we can all know just by looking.

I have both the WCR and the WCP. They both look like they have pearl in them. I think they roll as if they are solids whether they are pearl or not.

Who said I bought a ball?

I think it's worse when, like the 900Global Creature, they put "pearl" in a color but claim the resin is a solid. (The old Columbia Power Surge is the xact same color, with the exact same pearly look that Columbia called, "Afflair".)
