If you would have to choose two ogres to make an arsenal... what would you take?

I dont really want to change the surface of my blurple because 95% of the time its gold just the way it is.  but if I just happen to be on a pair that people have been throwing plastic or whatever then it kinda squirts past the breakpoint.  I think I might wait and see what people think of the particle esp. if someone is willing to try to polish one up.



I understand 110%. I have been in that position myself.

While the Ogres can be wonderful balls, recognize that in certain oil pattern/lane surface situations and for certain releases, their lack of differential can be a reason to use another type of ball, like the AMB Centaurs or the Gryphons.

EXACTLY!!!  I've been saying this til the cows come home.

Except for guys like Steve/TwoHands with his high rev rate mere mortals like me and others in the 300-350 rpm range may find the Ogre core not enough motor off the spot to get good consistent reaction.  On a THS no problem.  I do believe that the Ogre Particle with it's Granite type cover will allow for a better reaction on flatter patterns without the over reaction on moving backends. Solid AMB Centaur is another some ball with more diff. and smooth.....more than say a Solid Glad.  Me thinks React-A-Tack is a stronger cover than Galea.  JMO.
