Thanks much.  Who knows when the AMF website will feature it.  I really wish they would update the site more often it's really quite out-of-date.

THS ball. I drilled up another one of these and threw it in league and shot another 700 series. Very good rolling ball on med to med/heavy oil conditions. Very smooth continuous roll off the spot without the jerk with some.

This ball fits in between the Creatures and Night Hawks.

No Tracy I shoot 800's in my sleep. It's a struggle when I'm awake.

It should be a good rolling ball, the picture and the specs are the Vendetta. One of my all time favorites.






Numbers look a little different to me, and the core looks like a modified Slash core.  


Vendetta and Solid numbers were:
2.53 and 0.042

Vendetta 357 and 44 were:
2.46 and 0.042

Took those numbers from the DT page.

Hmmm, that reminds me, I think I still have a 357 waiting to be drilled!

Either way, I'm sure the Villian will be another great product from the boys in San Antonio!

Same Core, numbers are the same, simply put when you begin to look at the 2nd or 3rd decimal and the variation is under .025, it can and usually is the results of the variations in the testing process. Measuring rg's from ball to ball yeild different results, pin in balls yeild one result pin out balls different and medium pins a third. All the variations are in the 2nd and 3rd decimal. 2.486 and 2.46 can be hardly measured much less seen in performance. .040 vs .042 would have the same results since after drilling they may both end up the same. Also within the same batch of balls these variations could easily take place. So for all intent and purposes the Villain and the 44 mag are the same if the coverstock were both pearl. The Villian is a solid the density of the solid may be the reason for the variations...Than again it may not .
