Title: Machine.......Particle or not Particle?
Post by: Brickguy221 on June 16, 2006, 08:40:42 AM
BTM says the Machine is particle pearl and the  Track descriptipn lists it only as Fang LS and doesn't mention particle.........So is it or is it not particle pearl.

Goo LS + Fang Particle = Fang LS. I wish the manufacturers would list the cover types differently such as Fang LS Particle Pearl in this case or Solid/Pearl Power Pack Reactive for the Arsenal Reactive and so on... would save a lot of confusion I think, or just list it in the summary describing the ball in their ads. My two cents...

That answers my question. Thanks guys. Freak, I agree with you about the mfgrs. not labeling the balls properly.

yes particle pearl - BC on the ball is the same coverstock on robo rule - which is also particle pearl

Robo Rule (heavy oil)
Machine (medium oil)
Arsenal Artillery (medium oil)
Desert Heat (light oil)
Ambush (used for spares - any condition)

The Robo Rule is a solid particle.  It has the same cover as the GP2 only with a lower particle load.

The GP2 has a higher RG than the Robo Rule

Covers are identical with the exception of a lighter load of particles in the Robo Rule. it is a solid particle, not pearl. The cores are very different though!

So the GP2 handles extreme heavy oil conditions better than the Robo Rule right?

Well, as for the Robo vs GP2, more than just the load of particle comes into play. While they share the same type of cover but the GP2 has a medium load vs the light load of the Robo, the Robo comes 800 out of the box vs the 1500 of the GP2 AND the Robo has an RG of 2.5 while the GP2 is around 2.56...so while the cover advantage goes to the GP2, the Robo (unless you sand the GP2 to a different grit) has the advantage in the other 2 places. They are very close in my mind...VERY close...

I think the website says "high load" for the GP2.  This is from the description for the Delta One.  It would hardly be the first time the website's wrong, though.

It does, this is why I am slightly confused. I don't mean to jack the thread but I have just picked upa NIB GP2 for the extremely oily stuff my original Big Time won't handle and was thinking this is a "high load" particle and the best ball out there for the extreme from what I had heard. Am I wrong in this. If so, please tell me now before the deal is done. Thanks Clint and shelley

If the GP2 isn't enough in its box condition, take it down to 800-1000 grit.  Hard to believe that wouldn't cut it.  If you've already got the GP2, I wouldn't get rid of it just yet.
