It is a low load particle approx 1% don't know if the Venus is useing the rubber or silica particles. But I can tell you it's not like the other mfrs. or the balls of a few years ago when they felt like sand paper. Or you could actually see them RSP, Oracle,Vision, etc.

Sorry, but I have to chime in here also.
Heck, even on many high load solid particle balls, you can't possibly see or feel the particles.

"Where are the particles?"
The particles are embedded in the resin base, as always.

The particles, unless they happen to be made of a reflective material, should be almost invisible, especially since it is a 1%, low load cover.

  I've seen a couple here and haven't been able to detect any particles either, but that doesn't mean they're not there.

On some particle balls like the ProActives from Brunswick the loads were very high in the 5 to 10 percent range and you could feel the texture of the ball there was a gritty feeling.

also i remember on some of my visionary balls i could feel the texture on the granite gargoyle and scorcher.

You sure it's not because they come 320-grit out of the box?  That's pretty rough.

Remember the Depth Charge and the El Nino 2000 those were particle pearl balls and you could not see the particles.

Keep in mind, that the earlier generations of particles were much later than the present ones. example the icons, the reason the first icon looked like a pastel color was because of the fine texture of the particles.

after throwing it finally holy cow. it reacts like no other i've seen. It honestly looks as strong as my Saga for some reason like my saga on the back. It's weird i was expecting my saga to be a bit strong but i'll post a pic of it to let you all see it. I found out im a high tracker :-( so i didn't help when i was getting it drilled but pics will be up later.
