X-Blem
« on: May 17, 2005, 08:59:05 AM »
This is from a Bowlingball.com auction on Ebay about a Columbia Trooper:

"THIS BALL IS AN X BLEM FROM COLUMBIA. COLUMBIA RELEASES THEIR HIGH PERFORMANCE BALLS UNDER THE X-BLEM LABEL WHEN SMALL NON-PERFORMANCE ISSUES OCCUR. THE CORE AND COVERSTOCK COMBINATIONS ON THIS BALL ARE IDENTICAL TO THE FIRST LINE BALL. A BALL IS LABELED AN X-BLEM FOR ANY ONE OF THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

-COLOR PIGMENTATION
-SMALL PITTING CAUSED BY AIR BUBBLES
-UNIQUE PIN PLACEMENT, TOP WEIGHT, OR BOMB LOCATION
-LABELS ARE ENGRAVED IN UNUSUAL PLACES
-SWIRL PATTERNS OF THE BALL ARE NOT CONSISTENT"

My question is about the "Small pitting caused by air bubbles". If this is the only problem the ball has and all other specs are normal, will this cause any issues in performance?
