Can be a good ball for lighter oil volumes.

I remember that ball...a buddy of mine had one I used it one night and shot 770something with it...but for some reason I never bought one and he would never sell it to me. It really long and flipped like mother fr!

I buy it if you don't want it!  I was one of my favorite balls from back in the day.  Del Warren had a good say in that balls design.  Let me know.

A friend LOVED his.

Relatively Weak coverstock and very strong core (Low RG and high flare potential). It will get tons of natural length and then flip, DEPENDING on your release style and ball speed. In today's world it's for medium-light oil to maybe medium (with a strong drill).

At the time (1997?) it was made by Ebonite (I believe) for AMF, SO it has an older Ebonite coverstock.

I have a single drill 15 lb er 4 7/16 spans and has one game on it, i had it and drilled it up. If anyone hear wants to buy it pm me, it still hooks decently on today's oil.

I drilled it before i totally switched my grip, it is 9/10 on condition.

Just as charlest described - weaker cover with strong, very low rg core.  It was one of my very favorites.  On today's oils, it would probably play best on light to medium patterns.

MrCrankMeister i think i could be considered a cranker myself. maybe if i get some PM's with some nice offers i might let it go. dont have money to drill it right now anyways. so u never know
