Threshold Coverstock?
« on: July 30, 2008, 04:11:44 AM »
I just aquired a Threshold 2 weeks ago and really like the reaction I am getting from it.

I am wondering what exactly the coverstock is. i have heard pearl particle, just wondering if this is true. It really doesn't react like a pearl particle, but then again I have never owned a pearl particle. Just wondering

I love my threshold.  Smooth reaction down lane and keeps the pins low and hits hard.  Would never have thought it had particles.  Reacts more like a pearl.

Ya I know, I looked but it just said Nexgen Reactive with microparticles.

People weren't lieing when they said this things needs some oil. This must be one of the strongest part pearl's ever.

well what do you think of it. I see it isn't a part of your arsenal right now. I will gladly take it off your hands

The NGS is a pretty good ball, actually. It takes surface changes well, and also takes different hand positions well. Compared to the Threshold original, the NGS gets down the lane a bit later (drilled pin over fingers, MB strong), and makes a smoother move than the Threshold. Due to the Threshold's particle/pearl cover, I think that's what makes it flipper off the backend (it is that way, in my eyes). Pretty good ball, I haven't thrown it in forever, but i'm not really looking to sell it at the moment.

Speaking of MB, what indicates the MB on the Threshold's, the one I have I see no MB marker, I was assuming it didn't have a strong enough mass bias rating to have one on the ball or it was drilled out by thumb hole.

MB marker on the Threshold NGS is the letters "CAP".  I had one and it was a pretty strong ball.  If I remember correctly, the coverstock was a solid/pearl hybrid with Mica particles.  I'm not sure of the MB strength.

This renders the ball useless.

Please send me the ball so it might be properly disposed.
