Has anybody used this ball? It has the T-Road weight block with the Reactor Solid coverstock! I bought a couple nib 15lb and didn't know if it was like the T-Road Solid or not. I know there's a slight difference in the Reactor Solid coverstock and the R2S, which is the 2nd generation Reactor! Thanks, Bruce

They were sold cheap around here 2 years ago, and I have one stashed away NIB, still undrilled. But I have seen many in action.
Strong ball, with Reactor Solid cover and a big flare core. Those I have seen went surprisingly long for a matte solid, with a powerful back end. Not exactly what I'd expect from it... Ball shines up quickly, it seems, I'd assume that it is a bit flippier than a T-Road Solid and good for medium to medium-oily shots - the TRS should handle slightly more oil and be more even overall, but I'd say they are close.
My current plan is to drill mine with the pin above the fingers, pin at 4.5-5" from PAP and CG stacked (a favorite layout of mine), and probably take the surface from 800 grit OOB to 1.500.

This piece is a beast! It's a lot more angular than the T Road Solid was. It reminds me more of a longer yet smoother High Road. If people can get past the horrible scent and mediocre color, it's a good one!

I have one. From what I have noticed the t-roads r more overall hook.

I checked with Storm and that's pretty much what they said is it's an overseas T-Road and the Euro 2 is basically the Erase-It! Same inverted core with powerball and the number where the same RG 2.539 Diff .051 with the Accu-Tread solid coverstock that's polished. Thanks for all the help and info, Bruce
