So Let me see if I get this straight,
Sunday after noon, Fathers day, US open finals, Dinner with my family then the NBA final game and the response I get is
1) .....Phil found the time to respond with good info until I asked why the Xeno is shown as a medium oil ball on the Oil Comparison Chart when in fact that is not what the Ball Chart shows. And it does not match up to where the Reax V2 was (med.-heavy) oil on the previous oil chart.
2) If their info is not somewhat accurate, then how can I or any consumer believe anything they state. Such as "you want numbers, we got numbers". Maybe those number should not be taken seriously by putting to much value in them according to you & others.
3) @8:20 last night... Sorry "newguy" that apparently you lost interest in providing an answer to my previous inquires. Oh well, life goes on!
So besides all of the above there are several more. The initial question was how does the new Xeno compare to the original Reax V2 Solid. My answer to this question
OK then, so is the Xeno stronger or weaker than the Reax V2?

Stronger. New cover technology.
So now we get into the comparison chart on the website my answer is at the bottom
The new Xeno and the Reax V2 have the same core and numbers with a different cover. The current ball comparison chart has the Xeno charted to the far right and just left and a little below the of the Guru Supreme. Whereas the Reax V2 was previously positioned almost in the exact middle of the previous ball reaction chart.
The impression I'm getting is the new Xeno is a much stronger ball than the Reax V2. Yet, when looking at the oil comparision chart the Xeno is shown as a medium oil ball (where the green is) and the Reax V2 as a heavy oil ball (where the green is).
If I am not looking at these chart correctly, which I most likely I am not. Then could someone please explain how the new Xeno (medium oil ball) could be so close to the Guru Supreme on the current chart? Thanks
All is relative to the balls in the line at the time the Reax V2 was the strongest ball we had.
I'm really not sure I can be more clear, we do not go back and adjust the comparison chart, as a matter of fact the Reax V2 isn't even on the new chart. We only compare the balls that are currently in the line.
Things change dramatically over the years, oil viscosity, lane machines, cleaners, resin formulas and additives. We only deal with the current line.
Is the Reax V2 considered a light oil ball Yes or no you tell me because each person and situation is different. If it is for you so be it, if it not than that's ok to. The chart is a guideline and a starting point. We can not be all knowing, surface preps can move the performance all over the board.
I spend time on this forum to share info, sometimes it becomes overbearing. Please take this into consideration. I do it as a favor to all of you, we do not sell tons of balls through this sight, there simply isn't enough traffic, I could easily bail on this sight and not feel it was a wrong move. I do it to share knowledge, but really to personally attack me by saying I don't care or didn't respond in what you see as a timely manner, REALLY!
I will say this if it keeps up it will be spending less and less time, my suggestion is that if the info is valuable to you all on this site than police it yourselves.
