Is there a particular aspect of the particle pearl balls you want to replicate? 
Are you looking for new only? 
What about discontinued? 

Not saying there isn't a particle pearl ball that will suit your needs, but in case there isn't, knowing what you need the ball to do may direct you to a different ball.

The VG Nano Pearl is a particle. They don't list it as one, but it sure rolls like a particle pearl.

I love me some PP's from the old Depth Charge to the older track stuff...

Anyway, LaneMaster's Black Pearl Blue Ocean is a PP and I'm really impressed with this ball. Unlike the depth charge, the BPBO has more a controlled backend.

Its sister ball in the Roto-Grip line, the Defiant Edge, is/was also a particle, but both are discontinued.

True, but they are pretty recent. Can still be found NIB, but if one was looking for a single drill, both are available.

Looking for used or new. They really don't advertise particle now,but we all know they didn't trash the technology. If used, I think I still have at least one old Eraser PBT particle pearl, it would be a 16 pound. Message me if interested and I can look and see what else I may have. Used several different versions back at that time from Columbia or Storm.

Not sure if you can still get one or not, but one that I really enjoyed throwing was Visionary's New Breed Particle Pearl.
