I haven't dealt with them personally, but I ran accross the site when they first got the shipment in and they were selling them by bulk orders also. Now all they have are single orders so I assume poeple are buying them. Also I haven't seen anyhting negative about them on here.

But you probably have to buy 3 or 4 balls before you get your choice of pin distance and top weight. Buyer beware. They are a closeout seller, not a pro shop, nor even a distributor. I doubt if you can request a pin or top.

I tried that on ebay once, asking a non-bowler about the pin and top. He asked where he could that information and then came back with, I can't find it.

Caveat emptor!

The other potential negative is that they don't seem to have anything in 15#.

AMF Evo Tour greatest heavy oil ball ever.
AMF Evo Extra, greatest carrydown ball ever
AMF Evo original good archy pearlish

AMF Nighthawk Torque Pearl I just got and have thrown with previous bowler span.
Looks real good first impression.  Good reviews here too!
AMF Torque was a very good heavy oil ball too!
Ti Hawk I have and it has been great on PBA type shorter shots.  Needs backends to hit and starts early enough.

Nighthawk SPT, I just picked up a spell(Track clone of Nighthawk SPT) and though not as strong as the EVO's this is a very good ball, see Louie comments
in track section.  Goes longer and then really turns.

Hawk I also loved longer version of TiHawk with more backend.  Nighthawk SPT in reactive instead of SPT.

REgards,

Luckylefty
PS there all pretty good.  One thing about AMF is that in general all there balls had pretty strong backend except the Evolution original.

I placed an order through the website and the four balls that I decided to get were.

heavy oil: Angle Evolution Tour
med oil: Angle Evolution Extra Tour 1(red Pulse)
med to light oil with carrydown: Fire Hawk Super/C
light to no oil: Hawk

P.S. i think that the original hawk will be the sleeper out of this bunch but the only questions that I may have is how long does the cover on teh angle evo tour hole does it experience tech death

I have an Angle Evolution Tour.  Great oil ball.  Gets enough length that you'll be tempted to use it on less oil than you should.  Awesome hitter, tremendous drive through the pins.  Mine only has 15-20 games on it so I can't speak for the cover's longevity.  Of course, it's also been treated with Doc's Elixir since "birth".

Pulse clone is not for medium heavy oil.

AMF Evo Extra sure is though but not the tour.

Very low diff.  Extra has big diff and mass bias.

hahahahaha..... you said HAWK for almost no oil...
what a joke...
when i threw 15 i had one (4 months ago) guy came through my shop with one and i bought it off him... i was the deepset one in all the tourneys i bowled in... out-hooking all the particle balls.... i cant wait to get some #16 HAWKS...
all amf equipment works well for me though.... slowly starting to make a name for myself at 16 yrs old in the northwest.... gimme 5 yrs and if im still bowling ill see ya guys on tv....

REgards,

You never know. 1000 grit Super-Flex can be pretty strong with low RG core, even with little flare. (The original Pulse came with 600 grit finish.) I'd tend to think medium oil at most, but I guess it would depend on your hand/revs/delivery.

FYI, the Hawk is as aggressive as a V2 Solid, so you'll be quite suprised at the look you'll get from it.

I got my balls today and drilled them up right away and I can tell you is that I have found the best four ball arsenal that 154.00 bucks can buy you
These balls give me something on the lane that I haven't had in a couple of months lanes and that is confidence knowing that my balls will do what I designed them to do I would like Dan Graef and Premier Pro shop at play drome cherry hill for laying out adn really taking in consideration in my bowling style and taking that into drilling the balls that I have now which are

Heavy Angle evo tour
med Angle Extra Evo tour
Light med Hawk
light to burnt Fire Hawk Super C

when I threw each one they did exactly what I thought  they were gonna do

 If you threw 16 please I recommend www.Closeoutsusa.com for proper satisfaction and customer service every ball I got asked for certain pins and tops weights and when the balls came they were what exactly I asked for

the hawk is really agressive but tame at the breakpoint if I were to buy any of the balls that I got now I would buy 3 more hawks or try the other hawks
