Do REACTIVE ball die out like PARTICLE balls?
« on: July 21, 2004, 12:41:25 PM »
You know, when you resurface a particle ball, you run the risk of rounding off the little particle tips and making them smooth (even when you use Scotchbrite, as opposed to sandpaper). And even after so  the particle ge broken inside the cover.

But with Reactives, you can resurface them with sandpaper or scotchbrite and don't never have to worry about "killing" the coverstock like the way a particle coverstock can be killed... correct? And also when rolling a Reactive ball down the lane, you don't have to worry about anything in the coverstock "breaking" off or anythng... right?


And also, alot of people say that particle balls are short lived... but do Reactives die out like the particle balls or do they keep going and going?

My inferno lost its reaction after a ton of games.  It began rolling stupid when i messed with the surface.  I put it in the hook it system, not a whole lot of difference. So into the oven it went and it was back to awesome.  Haven't really had enough games on any other reactives to worry about it.

The messenger titanium is a bomb. It has over 1,000 games on it, and it still does good.

It all varys between coverstock to company. There are some resins that will die before a particle, and some resins that will last a long time.

Im not into the "particle" idea anymore. Im only going with low load particles for now on.
