It's a sad day i have to do this, but im selling my long awaited Mean Machine fellow BR members.

Specs: 15# with a 3.5-4 inch pin and 2-3.5oz of TW (im pretty sure)
Span: 4 1/2 MIDDLE FINGER, and 4 11/16ths RING FINGER, THUMB size is 57

Mean Machine Layout:http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c288/TheOne9110/HPIM0689.jpg

And i have the exact spec sheet it was drilled off, but i'll need your email addy to send it to you, sorry.

Please throw in some offers from zip code 18510 in Scranton PA, i need money soon. This ball has only been used for about 5 games all together.
Thanks

Short Story: I asked Joe for a layout, and it couldn't happen because the specs of the ball, and i now realize he's right about that. So he drilled it a different way without notifying me first on how he was drilling it..

And what does the ball do that you do not like? And what are you planning to buy with this money? And what are you selling it for?

I don't know a lot about Track equipment, but isn't that ball supposed to hook a lot?

I had a XXXcel and had it drilled pretty similar...and didn't notice much of a difference in reaction from other strong balls I had that were drilled stronger.

Why not try and polish it up?  If I have a ball that's too strong, I'll stick it one of those Brunswick Ball Polishers for 2 minutes (the newer ones) and that always make a HUGE difference...clears the heads easier.

I wasn't a huge fan of the Ultimate Inferno dull because it was too much ball for me....but then I polished it like that...and it became the best ball I had ever thrown.

If you really like this ball....you should play with the cover....see what happens.  I wouldn't sand it anymore...just polish it up.

Well i paid 144$ for it, and i wanted to get maybe half or more out of it, because i used it only 5 games because Joe had me do a bunch of things with it. It just depends, please make an offer if you want it

It annoys the hell out of me when people cry and bit*h about a ball hooking to much. Dont buy something high end!!! As you said, "Joe told me to take it to a higher grit". Guess what!? Hes right! If its hooking to freaking much for you then take it to a higher grit. Or maybe take it to a smaller grit then polish it. Dont cry over a ball till you have weighted every option or you know for sure.

Joe said not to polish it, or the hook would be outrageous!, and yes i know it's supposed to hook a lot, BUT i didn't want this much hook out of it, i wanted it to be more smooth than SHARP
