Question concerning X-BLEM
« on: April 04, 2013, 01:09:04 PM »
What defects classifies a bowling ball as an x-blem ball?
You need to compete for something greater than just winning.
The future belongs to whoever prepares for it.

Typically Color (half and half not blended, all one color,etc) or the engraving could be messed up.

If you see an X-out that usually means it has a long Pin OR the CG is far left/right of center with the pin and Mass Bias, these are also sometimes call Pro-Pins.

Could be some tiny pin holes or a minor repair at the factory. I bought a Anaconda blem that had a tiny pencil tip size mark in it you had to look hard to find. Some have high, low top weight.
