Why are high-load particles hard to find?
« on: March 15, 2008, 05:46:15 PM »
I've always had good luck with these things (DynoThane Cure being at the top of the list) even when I'm not on a flooded shot. They're smooth, they don't overreact in the back, and if I need to bowl on something less than an oilslick, I just drill 'em weak and watch them store a bunch of energy for the backend.

Literally every one I've tried, I've liked (except for the Columbia Complete Chaos, which if it was a high-load particle, was crap in my hands). So why are these things harder to find than flawless diamonds?

Still a while away, the Dynamic Power from Lane Masters is going to be close to that look.

Maybe worth the wait.

If I might digress, there is or was a saying in bowling,

"You buy a ball reaction, not a ball."

Regarding high load particles, there is not now nor has there ever been a need to buy a specific "load" of particles. This is like buying a car without looking at the engine but buying on the basis of the width of the tire.

You want traction and the load of particles in a ball's coverstock is only one way to get it. The gripping strength of most coverstocks are now much stronger than they used to be. So light or even null loads of particles might be stronger, that is, grippier than what heavy loads of particles used to be.

Again, this is like looking at the ONLY the ball's core's specifications to see what the ball's reaction is going to be.

As a final note: I can sand, polish and drill a high load Yeah Baby to give a flippy reaction close to that of many pearl resin balls. It is a hiogh load particle coverstock, that when sanded to around 1000 grit and drilled in an average manner can handle a lot of oil for a lot of bowlers.
