Has anyone thrown one yet?

Looks like it is a brunswick core.  Does anyone know who makes it??

I haven't thrown it, but here is a little info for you.

It is made for NEOTAC by Brunswick.  It has the LT-48 style core and a resin cover called NEOACTIVE.

Also here is a link to a previous discussion on this ball.

Hope this helps.

FYI, the cover on that ball has been widely reported to be the ever popular PowerKoil 18.

I know they call it "NeoActive", but everyon I know who's thrown it says it still reacts like the PK18.

It is a Brunswick made ball for NeoTac.  It does not have the LT-48 core in the ball.  The original literature had that core, but it was false information.

Well okay...it does look like the mushroom core, but if you look back at the old post that I have linked on my first reply you will see that someone from NeoTac replied saying that it has the lt-48 style core.  

If you don't see anything when you click on the above link it is because you need to change your preferences to show messages from the past year.  Here is what was said:

"Yes,
We are getting into Bowling Balls.
1.) First ball is called ( THE KHAMELEON )
2.) I wanted to take a coverstock that was easy to work with.
3.) The coverstock is more agressive reactive, Called NEOACTIVE tm.
4.) The core is LT-48 style.
Why,
THE K-BALL.
This ball is the first in a long time that the cover matches the core.
The core rolls ( HOOK'S ) evenly,from the heads to the pin deck.(HIT'S HARD)
When you use neo-tac products on the coverstock, It changes from hook to length. We are updating are web site,but some info is there. www.neotac.com

Thank all of you out there for using our products."

I understand that it could still be wrong, but I just don't understand how someone from NeoTac would post the wrong info about their own ball.
