Need help - "Chris Barnes Select" Ball?
« on: May 31, 2006, 11:05:26 PM »
Can anyone tell what ball THIS is? An Action in disguise, or a Power Drive with the M80 coverstock? Looks pretty, though...

it is a power drive weightblock with a slightly higher diff.

The cover is similar to that found on the professional

Hope this helps

Ssshhh... these are yen... but it is still pricy, as anything in Japan.

It would still be about $400, but the price level in Japan is generally high (a msuic CD is around $30 at retail), and buyers nornmally get bargains, so this is relative.

Nice ball, though.
