900 Global/AMF Coverstocks
« on: August 31, 2007, 08:28:26 AM »
Not sure about naming rights and what not, but are we going to see the Soaker on the new stuff?

We are tageting versitility. I am throwing mine with 4000 aberlon and high polish. Works well on mediums. I threw it with 2000 and no polish and it goes early. I used a really exotic drilling (over the label) with the spin spot just under my thumb. My version of a trick drilling.
I'm assuming 1000 or less with go even sooner. 500 no polish just ate up the oil,so anywhere from 500 to 4000 had a place in the arsenal.
We are using very durable resin (hint) and a very versitle formula.  


Phil has already said that he holds the "secret" and gave some hints - of course that hint could just be that they are using "Superflex".

I've always wondered why the coverstock was called "S" with a number - is it for "Soaker" or "Superflex."

The Soaker name was trademarked, so it probably belongs to Ebonite.

I'm guessing he was talking about the Lane #1 Supernova using the Superflex with the light load particle in it. It might not be since this is about 900 Global, but that's my only guess.

Which I why I know we won't see the name Soaker again, but the coverstock formula, maybe?  He said the Creature was superflex, which makes sense since he stated at Dyno it wasn't cost effective to use Soaker on the mid-level equipment, but I was wondering about the high end stuff.

The quote from Phil was for The Break (I believe).

When he said "We are using very durable resin (hint) and a very versitle formula."  I think many people were thinking that was a hint about "soaker."

Phil also said previously that the soaker formula would follow him to "the next ball company."

Whether The Break uses "soaker" or if any other balls will use "soaker" can only be answered by Phil.....I'm only speculating from what he has said in the past.

From the "Who owns Superflex" thread Newguy said

quote:

Superflex is a trade marked name and thus was included in the sale to Ebonite. The name was sold not the formula. We still purchase the formula from BASF and currently are exclusive with them for that formula. We use it on the Orbit Exteme (a blended version) and on the Creature it called S40 and is the original formula.


I know Phil still has the formula to Soaker, I was just wondering if he's going to use that formula again or not.
