I had both still have oracle the silver streak particle is a step down from the oracle so it depends on oil volume. Oracle handles carrydown much better and still has decent length since the particles used are small in size.

Hey mrbowlingnut, since when you have the oracle?

I'm intersting to buy a good heavy oil ball and I was thinking to get the Oracle or the X-Factor Vertigo.

My doubts are because the Oracle is made with reactive and particles and I don't like particles because they died to soon, two questions?

How long do you have the Oracle and did you saw any Dead Ball Syndrome in your Oracle?

And in your opinion and opinion for everyone which ball did you choose for heavy oil Oracle or X-Factor Vertigo?

Thank you everyone.

The SSparticle and Oracle are 2 different animals....both designed for medium heavy oil!  Both could be used for heavier if drilled and prepped properly.

I think the Oracle could handle a little more oil, but I'm not 100% sure, drill and cover prep can work wonders.

The Oracle has a great particle laod (medium) but the particle are small thus getting more of a reactive solid look to the ball.

I'd lean toward the Oracle here....

Gallo, ....no ball death issue w/ RotoGrip.....besides,..proper maintenance can take care of that issue anyhow......

well...are you talking "true heavy" or a fresh medium-heavy house shot....

I think the Oracle would be good for both...or better yet....the Oracle for fresh, then get the Oracle Vision to go a tad further and turn the corner....

DGH,

Depending on your style depends on which ball would be better for you.  If you have thrown other particles before than by all means the SS particle is an OVERALL monster in oil.  But you have to be in TRUE oil, unless you will find that the ball will burn up very quickly when making its move.  The Oracle, is not as a heavy load particle as the streak, but it is more versatile. It gives you almost 2 looks from the same ball, it gives you the teeth of particle and the backend of a solid....a deadly combination I might add.  Its like it knows when it needs to use those particles and when to be a reactive.

Gallo, this is my second Oracle. No dead ball syndrome here!!!  And interestingly enough it almost seems to me that the Vertigo is the Oracle coverstock without the particles.....just my opinion, but I would give the Oracle a try, I think that it will change your view on particles.
