Title: ARSENAL REACTIVE QUESTION
Post by: chitown on September 19, 2005, 06:14:42 PM

Does anyone else who has an arsenal reactive notice that with the OOB cover this ball can handle a ton of oil?  I would put this ball up there as one of the strongest balls for heavy oil on the market.  I don't know how they can say this ball is comparable to the AU.  This ball is a lot stronger.

If any of you are interested in the reactive and have a good amount of hand I suggest placing the pin above the fingers about 5" from pap.  I have mine above the fingers with the pin 5" from pap with the cg kicked to almost 1oz and no x-hole.  Did you here that; no x-hole and this ball is still super strong.  I couldn't even think about how strong this ball would be with the pin in the leverage position and the cg kicked to 2oz then brought back to legal with a x-hole.  This ball would be sickly strong.  I wouldn't be able to use it.  Or imagine taking green scotch brite to it.  Oh my god this ball would hook thru a swamp.  I think this ball can handle the same amount of oil as my animal.

If you like to swing the ball but sometimes come in contact with lanes that are so flooded that you are forced to play down and in then this is the ball for you.  You can play fairly deep with this ball even on heavy oil.

Hey chi,

The Arsenal Reactive is a very strong and nice piece but the Delta is at abuot 3-5 boards stronger than that....

Chi,

Rick covered it exactly the way I see it. The difference between the Delta and the Arsenal Reactive for me is about 3-4 boards. When the lanes dry out a bit and the Delta stops performing as well as it was the Reactive is the natural step down.

Don't forget, the Reactive comes rather dull......so adjust the surface. It is comparable to the AU, but the AU comes with rough buff finish which is alot like Track's Clean n SHeen.

Reactive is a strong ball but still needs some dry to generate friction. I have used it on med-heavy patterns with large oil amounts in the front but with dry to play to...

Not sure how this will work on the longer and heavy volume patterns you may see....but that is what the Rule GP2 is for...

As long as there is some dry...this is an excellent ball
