Title: Which cover is the most DURABLE?
Post by: bowlbeginner on January 11, 2006, 02:42:32 AM: Which coverstock is the most durable?
Particle balls seem to die out quicker, so please suggest reactive resin balls.

Thanks!

For reactive covers, probably Soaker. Activator is also supposed to be a very long-lasting coverstock, but there have been a few folks on here talking about their AIs dying out. Seems odd to me, given everything I've heard.

How many times does this get asked in a year?

Post by: Pin_Daddy on January 12, 2006, 04:50:16 PM: I'd have to agree from my experience that just about anything with a Dynothane badge is going to last longer than most people will use a ball...

Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere.

Post by: ChrispyBrownies on January 12, 2006, 05:37:36 PM: THE ACTIVATOR COVERSTOCKS!!!
Have 3 infernos.
Intense for about 2 years
Original for about 1 1/2
Smokin for about 1 month

only some VERY VERY minor scratches(those ones that are invisible until you shine a flashlight at straight it) on my Intense, nothing else on anything else.

--------------------
Its hard to play with an inferno and not get burned. Last time I threw my inferno, the opposing bowler definitely got burned.

Post by: BrooklynSlop on January 12, 2006, 07:55:25 PM: From what I've seen and heard, I would probably vote for the Activator coverstock. I never hold on to a ball long enough to know, personally.
