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 RUclips 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.
Cans for the win. You can even hear the ball shell launch is so much quieter and a little pop compared to a desk vibrating boom. Pop balls v boom cans :) Love this comparison!
Canister shells are just superior, but that sead there's nothing like a real ball shell when there good!. Nothing like the sound when there going up in the air .Thanks for sharing as always cody 👏🏼👍🏼.
I love it when you use the tubes that come with the kits definitely should incorporate the original tubes while shooting off the fireworks. Love the channel.
These are good but if you’re into mini cans you should check out these 3” cans I got from TNT a couple years ago. I know TNT is kinda expensive but they are worth it!
I buy the super Magnum every year at least three to four packs these ball shells hit hard and go pretty high 👍👍👍 that seemed to be a low-quality pack because they don't seem as good on video
I prefer a canister shells only because they’re louder sometimes better effects but like you said ball shells are definitely more symmetrical. Great comparison Cody.❤️
It seemed like the canisters had more powder. It would be awesome to dissect one of each and compare the powder weights....It would also just be cool to compare how they are constructed.
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.
Don't they have manufacture date or year in them anywhere? That could tell also something if the balls are older then they probably changed to canister shells.
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.
They might have NOT "switched", But are offering a different product within a "line". Think of how cars USED to be sold: Hey, Here Is the NEW 1977 Buick LeSabre! Do you want a Coupe?, Sedan?, Wagon?... Cool, got ya covered.
Call me crazy but I’d take the ball shells over the cans. I dig the effects and I just didn’t think the cans were that visually impressive. It’s not all about sound
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!
Really wished ball shells where allowed to go up to 2 inch for consumer shelss. Also wish there was more premium consumer ball shell kits. Don't get me wrong i have seen some great ball shells. Used to get these kylin king ball shells in a blister pack. They where sweet.
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!
Looks like the ball shell version got watered down significantly. I remember 11-12 years ago the balls would hit hard and produce a large, symmetrical break.
Cody message me I’ll come down and I got some cash to toss and out in nice show we’ll go to one of ur best priced stores it’ll be my treat for ur show I’d love to out a show on with ya .. u film I pay … message me
Pleaseeeeee I messaged u yesterday I put my number in there RUclips or u may have deleted it message me I’ll get it in my g mail I’ll give u my number and we can set something up I’ll hop on a plane right now and let’s go shopping I’m coming from buffalo ny !!!!!!
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.
I don't like ball shells, they break too low and I just really don't like them

Ball shells are better than cans
Best ball shells I've got and actually are close to cans bang wise is shogun fixing to fire
Cans for the win. You can even hear the ball shell launch is so much quieter and a little pop compared to a desk vibrating boom. Pop balls v boom cans :) Love this comparison!
Gets me all excited for the 4th
Nice would buy either one 🔥🔥
Canister shells are just superior, but that sead there's nothing like a real ball shell when there good!. Nothing like the sound when there going up in the air .Thanks for sharing as always cody 👏🏼👍🏼.
Love super mags w/tail! The tail going up sets em apart.
Now that I've actually watched the video, those super mags w/tail aren't as good as I remember. The tail used to me much more refined, and noticable.
I like them All very cool Firework's . SKK .
i love world class fireworks and there shells
I could enjoy both but for me i like Cans over balls. Just preference i guess.
Awwwww baby cutey shells 😻
hehe.
@@FlaminKanami 😸
Good comparison, cans are definitely louder.
I’d still buy both
Thank you 👍👍👍👍
My Super Magnums have the shells in bags (I think an older kit) but yes. the winner is the cans.
Loved both of them no matter what Cody. Thanks for the video comparing the both of them. 😊
Woah i watch content all the time, this is an impressive difference in results!
I think you should try testing more kits just to make sure
Im in love with canisters
I like both of the shells but when it comes to fireworks all of them are the best when you are a pyro
I love it when you use the tubes that come with the kits definitely should incorporate the original tubes while shooting off the fireworks. Love the channel.
I will be doing much more of that this summer! Maybe even in some livestreams too!
Green wrap frog ball ?
If you can find the Black Cat 2 minutes show you will not be disappointed bro
Ive shot off ball shells on par with canister shells one being the big bad bombs ball shells they break like canisters and have a decent show
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.
This is a great video! Keep it up
Nice price was great ty Cbp 😊
I just picked up those super magnums perfect timing for a video thanks Cody!!
the ball shells lol
@@bradlyballock3052 not the mini canisters u fukked up my guy 😂
By far the best mini cans ive seen might have to buy a box if I run into some
These are good but if you’re into mini cans you should check out these 3” cans I got from TNT a couple years ago. I know TNT is kinda expensive but they are worth it!
I love those super magnums, I just started noticing the canister ones, I just always get the ball
I love all shells 😁, nice vid bro
Do another one please!!!
Agree the canisters were the better or the two!!
Get a decibel meter. I can’t tell what is louder.
Maybe they don’t work that way the drop off in intensity is like inverse 4th power.
I buy the super Magnum every year at least three to four packs these ball shells hit hard and go pretty high 👍👍👍 that seemed to be a low-quality pack because they don't seem as good on video
Decent shells!! Wish you lit an actual Xcal last just for comparison! 😅 great vid!!
I'm curious about the canister shell tube the size of it. And have you seen any other shell kits with that size tube?
I’ve been waiting for this comparison. I like the other snowball version of these tho haha 😉
Yessss
Both look and perform great to me 💯%🤙🏾
Good comparison, the low breaks are concerning near some areas and audiences. Thanks for sharing.
Just take precautions that easy
It looks and sounds like the cans have the edge. That's good info! Thanks Cody
Both were cool to see but I give the edge to the canister shells. 🤗😬
Let’s Go❣️
I prefer a canister shells only because they’re louder sometimes better effects but like you said ball shells are definitely more symmetrical. Great comparison Cody.❤️
I like BOOM, So I'm good with "cans"!
I wonder if those ball shells are just small cans wrapped in ball shells. Didn't break like they should....just a thought
Gonna guess it’s a redesign. An improvement, but effects on the canisters would have been nice.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Try some Del Vicario 16" vs 32"
It seemed like the canisters had more powder. It would be awesome to dissect one of each and compare the powder weights....It would also just be cool to compare how they are constructed.
Aren’t balls usually just a little can wrapped in a ball now?
Awesome comparison vid. I'm surprised by the difference between them also.
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.
You can fit more burst charge and stars into a cylinder shell. There's more space inside cylinders vs spherical shells. (On a consumer level)
I just located some Excalibur shells for $63.00 in Missouri and the Platinum for $77.00 been years since saw those prices.
Don't they have manufacture date or year in them anywhere? That could tell also something if the balls are older then they probably changed to canister shells.
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.
I think you should try sonic shells by fox fireworks I love them so much
The cans are a little better, not to mention louder💥
They might have NOT "switched", But are offering a different product within a "line". Think of how cars USED to be sold: Hey, Here Is the NEW 1977 Buick LeSabre! Do you want a Coupe?, Sedan?, Wagon?... Cool, got ya covered.

Really helpful video! I’ve always wondered what the performance difference was between ball shells and canister shells.
Cans for the win! ❤
Cut the paper tube the same height as the canister tube
From where i can buy all these kind of pyros? (For Outside US)
Man those super mags ball shells use to be so good years ago
Super mags used to be the shit !!!
Tnx,It seems the canister shell has crackles too but not all the time.
Old school super mags would've broke as big as the canisters.
Echo was awesome
Ahh the good old mini excals

I love it
Send me some fireworks😂
I think it's pretty easy who was the winner here, canister shells win.
I have a excalibur Mordor platinum kit
I want shell
Those cans are better than the full sized excaliburs 😂
Really wished ball shells where allowed to go up to 2 inch for consumer shelss. Also wish there was more premium consumer ball shell kits. Don't get me wrong i have seen some great ball shells. Used to get these kylin king ball shells in a blister pack. They where sweet.
I got the dr. Shell kit by winda and they had amazing effects. 10/10 👌
That was kind of surprising.

Cheers!
Tube size? Does anyone know what the mini can shell size is and tube size is ?
hello
I always say canister shells are better
My grandfather bought a box of Bad Bombs and they're balls. I hope they'll perform well enough for the $45 he dropped on them
Definitely canister shells
Why do the ball shells have the string loop?
To keep it straight up when reloading.
The effects are listed on the sides.
Sad, we don't get these shell kits in India.
Please shoot some Futurama ball shells by Raccoon, way better than both you demoed. Quite frankly both those world class shells were weak....
canisters were looking like their big brother excal
Looks like the ball shell version got watered down significantly. I remember 11-12 years ago the balls would hit hard and produce a large, symmetrical break.
Dang I thought these were good ball shell kits but these seemed like those 7-10 dollar festival balls
Canister by far. I hate those festival ball shells.
Who makes real ball shells? I would like to see them. I think preloaded tubes are real ball shells. But expensive
Now compare commercial shell
I like canister shells more
Personally I don’t buy this brand either. I haven’t had any good luck with them.
More 1 inch shells
Why have a NUMBER without telling the effect?!? That's WORSE than listing the effect WITHOUT a number! 🤦♂️
canisters will always be better than ball shells
