Dear God this ball looks incredible. It's like a stronger Black Eagle with a symmetric core. Let me just say, I will be the first to buy a seed ball for $99. lol

These are the type of specs that I, as a low rev lefty on oil, love to look for. Problem is I just switched to 14 lb... Specs please?
On edit... I found the other thread with specs... 14lb 2.501 and .054 with a fairly aggressive coverstock.... Definitely worth a look...

Can you give us some insight Thomas with a comparison of the Darkness to the Incinerate? It seems from the videos that even though the Darkness has a weaker rated cover it is a much smoother reaction because of the slight core alteration

Yea, I just went back and won't let me do it.  I'm on a MAC, so maybe that's the case this time.  I could go on from the family computer, but I really don't need another ball, but of course I want one haha.

You're my hero. Seriously.

On another note, does anyone think of the Rick James skit that Dave Chappelle did when saying the name of the ball? If no one gets it, I'll find a clip on YouTube.

DARKNESS IS SPREADING!

There's actually another spot in my last triple roller for another all black piece.  I'm on a quest for an original Nighthawk or Columbia Rage, unless this ball is *that* good then I may get another.

Where are my manners, neon pink should fit the bill. Lol, jk. Just like me, if its not black grips (if i used grips) or thumbs, I will, under no circumstances throw a ball that doesn't meet those requirements.

I must know what other balls are in the bag.

Black Widow(NIB), Onyx Vibe, Vortex 2, Quantum Raven, Hammer 3D Offset Tour, Horizon Solid (NIB), Strike King Black (NIB)

Some relics in there.

Just so I don't feel like I'm hijacking the thread, is the "F77" just a measure of the coverstock aggressiveness or is it the actual cover formulation?  IIRC, this cover was used on the Freight Train which was a very early, grabby cover that polish didn't really affect that much?  Is it the same cover or a different formulation of the cover within the same strength?

Anyone else see in the videos that the Darkness looks smoother than the Incinerate? So what's the difference between F90 and F77? Or is the core alteration really making that much difference?
Title: Re: AMF300 Darkness $99 Seed Ball Special!
Post by: ThomasR on February 03, 2014, 04:48:25 PM
The F90 and F77 will have the same midlane/downlane smoothness, the only difference being the earlier read you'll see in the front lane from the F90.  Overall, the F90 will create more friction, and the difference in surface on these 2-ball will also add an additional gap between their performance.

I was finally able to order one today! Hope there's a few left for me!! BTW I hope this promotion is going well for you guys. This is primo equipment at a ridiculously low price. Hope to see it again in the future.

I agree!! The Network promotion enticed me to try my first 900 Global Product. Picking it up from the shop tomorrow.

If I like it I'll naturally research the line more and consider future global products.

900 Global puts out great products and has customer service that is 2nd to none. The Break/Eagle series has a great following and I've heard more and more people loving the CFT core from the Protocol and Network. Me personally, I'm waiting for a mid-level ball with S60 or so. Thomas told me its in the works, so hopefully in April/May I can cash out at the end of league season

Post by: Impending Doom on February 05, 2014, 04:40:52 PM
First off, I've been with Global/AMF since the first ball, and for my ball roll, most of their stuff has matched up for me. I have heard GREAT things about the CFT (I like them big weightblocks that roll great), and the ball motion of the Darkness looks very smooth, but strong. Global is really rounding out all motions in their lines, and I dig it. Ordered mine, and can't wait to put holes in it (Could have used it this weekend grumble grumble)

Need more people to share the Darkness link on 900 Global's facebook page.  The are going to give one away once they hit 100 shares.  That's a 1 in 100 chance to win a Darkness!

Lefty,

Same core shape, not sure about the numbers (Charlest will come to make sure I'm correct lol) but it looks very Radar-y. Imo, the Incinerate Pearl looks very similar to the old Radar Lock motion.

I'm sad though. Mine is still stuck in Texas, says its going to be delivered today. I call bullocks on that.

Post by: DP3 on February 07, 2014, 03:24:05 PM
I got mine today as well.  Probably not going to drill it for another month or so, but damn it's pretty. 1 1/2" Pin, I'm probably going to set it in the palm above the midline which makes it like a 5 3/4" pin placement for me.

I am ready for new release of the Darkness to come out ready to get mine and throw it ball looks amazing on the video can wait to see how it rolls for me. The ball looks like it is going to strong with harder back end reaction then then the Eagle Pearl and I love how my Eagle Pearl rolls and hits so I am really excited about seeing this one released
