Two-piece or pancake?

If a pancake is OK, the blue urethane Grooves have been all over eBay, cheap.

If you want a two-piece...PM me.

The 16 pound Star Trak Reactor Ishmeal is selling is a urethane and for just 40 bucks with some dulling up just might be what you are looking for.  Its too heavy for me otherwise I'd take it.  

Also on Bowlingball.com sometimes you can find some neat interesting closeouts.  At the moment they have a 16 pound Sanded Star Trak Force 10.  This ball I believe is a softer urethane that was a winner on the pro tour when it came out back in the mid 80s.  

Here is a list of Star Trak Equipment a friend sent me, fascinating company

MSG 1975-1977 Turquoise
Pro 1978 Sparkle Teal  
Pro S 1979 Sparkle Turquoise
Force 1 1981-1983 Cobalt Blue
Force 2 1981-1983 Grey/Blue
Force 3 1982-1984 Florescent Turquoise
Force 10 1984-1986 Navy Blue and Sky Blue
Equalizer 1 1987
Equalizer 2 1988
Reactor Pearl Urethane 1987-1989
Recator Red Solid Plastic 1989
X15 1989-1990
ST10 1989-1990
1991 out of business/Became Track

Also on Ebay there is a seller who is selling some older urethanes fairly costly though, Good Luck!

Star Trak Equilizer 1 - I had one of these just sold it for a penny interesting ball with a bizzare 2 piece core.

I have a NIB blue pearl U2(without the B), a drilled pearl U2, drilled blue Axe, drilled crimson Phantom, and an old original blue Hammer. All drilled are about 4 1/2 span. Inserts, but no thumb slug. All in good shape.

I highly recommend those old star trak balls, I posted a video in the video section of me throwing the Pro S which came out in 78 I believe.  The MSG has the same construction I've been told as it has a baseball sized core-pre faball urethane hammer bowling balls.  They act like urethane, however I have been told that there coverstocks were somewhat experimental back then with somekind of urethane/polyester blend.  Someone told me the MSG might even have some clay in it
