In the current line up only the Pluto which you can consider the Neptune's solid counter part.

The Neptune 2 shares the same block but is an overseas version of the regular Neptune, nothing really different.

The other Planets have their cores inverted and use the same coverstock.  There is a difference between Orbiter 1 and Orbiter 2 though.  Personally I feel Orbiter 2 is a tiny bit stronger than the first version.  My Mercury kind of lopes down lane while my Neptune skids and makes a pronounced turn even drilled weaker than the Mercury.

Any other overseas Planet besides Earth has either Orbiter 1 or 2 cores.  Earth has a three piece puck type.

Thank you A_P_K.  Just shot a 300 with the Neptune and I like the way the ball is strong at the break point yet controllable and the carry was tremendous.

the Inverted cores used in neptune and pluto are both earlier and rollier than the original orbitor core. Saturn gets down the lane alot farther compared to a pluto.

Nice shootin' Nic, I haven't had much of a chance to use my Neptune it needs quite a bit of dry to be efficient.  I agree it does hit quite hard and carry well.

Then again, one man's mileage may vary just like Tim's.  My Neptune got easy length as opposed to my rollier Mercury.  My Saturn and Pluto overlapped so I took the cover to 600 and polished it to fit under the Pluto.

So for me the opposite is true.

I was in a motorcyle accident on Labor day and had a neck strain, lots of road rash on both arms and my bowling finger tips. So I bowled Monday to see how I was doing.

Last Wednesday I had to go back to the emergency room for vertigo, dizziness and headaches and found out I had a concussion.

Bowled today, 184, 244 and 245, then went to the doctors and found out I had a partial seperated shoulder.  Have about $15,000 dollars damge to my bike.  hope her insurance company comes through.
