What is so special about these balls, does the urethane ring work?? I just dont' get it, I mean it looks cool, but other than that why use a ball that it over 10 years old. Someone educate me lol.
Urethane Strip slides on the heads, retains energy, ball flares onto the resin and releases the energy much later than a single surface bowling ball.
Great ball for spotty heads.

The reaction might be similar to taking a polished ball and sanding some of the back flares. Good skid in the front, more traction in the back.
And while it's very difficult to prove that someone is doing this, this technique is illegal in USBC santioned leagues and events.
I already have a Helix in my arsenal anyhow. Picked it up a few years ago and out the door it was still less than the current bid for the one on eBay!

Urethane Pearl Strip + PowerKoil18 End Caps.
Black/Gold Helix has a Mushroom core.

Red/Blue Double Helix has a more compact sphere.

Methinks the Mushroom core was too High of an RG, causing the ball to turn up too late.

So what is the difference between this ball and the left handed one? And could this ball be drilled for a lefty?
--------------------
The man is back!
No. The balls are designed to be either right or left handed depending on the placement of the urethane strip. These balls could only be drilled one way, all depending on your track.

that ball is a giant piece of crap.
Hardly, due to it's unique design it is more prone to being condition specific than most other balls. Basically, if it doesn't carry the corners, put it away.

I remember watching Walter Ray on TV with it, he had some bad taps.
