Title: Cuda C Pearl Question?
Post by: tloy on November 12, 2018, 03:59:21 PM: I just got an NIB C300 Cuda C Pearl off Ebay. Anyone know difference in the color of the Pins? This one has a white pin. I have also seen a yellow and pink pin. Thank you

What is the finish/surface on the ball?

Post by: tloy on November 14, 2018, 07:07:01 AM: Maybe oversease? Thank you everyone for the input. I had found the Pink pin and the Yellow pin. Sr# is 5z05369 so this is a 1995 ball correct ?

Yes I had one in the day, drilled Label leverage. Pin Beside ring and cg in palm. Loved the reaction. Still on the fence as to drilling or not... This is such a great ball. Used a Tour Boss pearl last night in league. I forgot how hard these balls hit.... :) Would love to see some of the modern covers with this kind of core, especially with the thick cover :) Thank you
