Hello,
I recently was able to get my grubby little paws on a Black Reax Solid. So far, I absolutely love the ball. Additionally, I will be getting a Grease Monkey Pow. How do these balls compare in terms of reaction? Will the Pow slot above or below the Reax?
Thanks in advance

Re: Grease Monkey Pow vs Reax Black
Black REAX is asymmetrical and the Grease Monkey POW is symmetrical, I know you know this part already, but just in case someone else doesn't.
In my opinion, the black REAX should be above the POW in your bag. That being said it will depend on how you have them drilled and what conditions you face.
If I were setting up an arsenal, I would drill the Black REAX to be the hooking ball, the POW to be the bench mark and the Grease monkey to be the long/flippy end of the bag. It is my experience with the Grease Monkey and the POW to say that the POW is 4 and 2 (feet/eyes with same layout) stronger than the Grease Monkey. I see the POW as earlier hook, with the same strong finish through the roll phase.
Just my 0.02
