Anyone know if they still make a urethane ball with a pancake weight block?

The Polar Ice has a pancake weight block

AMF recently (12 - 24 months ago) discontinued their solid version of the Angle using a pancake core. Some are still seen on Ebay.

Also if you look around on ebay and some website you can find the Brunswick Groove Urethane. It has the pancake core in it as well. Our local shop has one or two still left.

Storm's Victory Road Pearl doesn't have a pancake weight block, but it sure smells like it does!

Charlest, the pearl Angles were reactive. Only the black one was urethane.

So is every other  new "urethane" available except the AMF Hype and the Avalanche.
They call them urethane and so shall we. Compared to every resin, they act like urethane.
