    Canister shells were louder where as the ball shells were quieter. Also, these ball shells didn’t break with the best symmetry as you can see.

      Hey Cody, I have used world class super mags for years. The original ones did not have color foil wrap on the shells. They were the old school look, plain brown. The old ones had a bright, well defined tail, went way higher and did have a huge symmetrical break. I got these foil wrapped ones and was so mad and disappointed with the performance. The cans are good for the size but the old ball shell out performed them. They were always mixed in with excals for the tail and size in my shows. In fact, there is still a UA-cam video out there of an entire show using only excals and old super mags. The super mags broke almost as wide as excals. One of the local stores by me in Knoxville, TN was still receiving the old super mags.

    Interesting, it definitely seemed like the Cans were better. They went higher, they were flying longer before breaking, and I thought the pacing that created was better... they broke louder and seemed bigger... overall, I think they were just way better.
    I almost felt like the comparison was similar to comparing 200g cakes to 500g cakes.

    Stars are more densely packed in the ball shells, but the cans seem to break about twice as hard and spread twice as much. At least on these I'd take the cans all day.

      Sometimes you get lucky and find good ball shells. If it's weak it means they are using BP coated rice hulls as the break. Strong break = only powder.

  • @JerryPaulTreeCreations
    @JerryPaulTreeCreations Рік тому +3

    That was kind of surprising. The height of the canisters was probably due to the fact that they were snug in the fiberglass tube, giving them good compression, where the balls could only rely on the launch charge. I didn't see the symmetry to be much different between the two. Maybe the ball shells were an early product that evolved into the better performing canisters. (?)
    This was an awesome side by side video! I wonder what other ball vs. canister comparisons would look like. Do canisters normally out perform ball shells, or was this just a fluke?
    Cheers!

    I have a different take, though I dispute none of your conclusions. I like some variety in height/effect in our tiny shows, we kinda pre-game for the ones the club one street over sets off and we get free! I'd definitely by these in the canister, but we have fun shooting one of each together too for a stacked effect. I get the rockets that have a similar size charge to the 1-1.5" ball shells or that's what they measure as. I think of them as the three biggest sizes, but only because that's how I've always seen them in stores, I'm sure there are others. I also get 18/24 mortar and/or canister, several 200g singles or one multi shot or cake, two or three 500g single shots and a 500g finale cake or two, it's just only several hundred bucks worth and my friends always insist on chipping in so very modest by most fans shows i imagine, you've set off more one section of a video than we ever do. Still, it's fun as hell anyway, fantastic reviews man, my next years show will be so much better for your reviews!
