The Low RG (2.50) High Differential (.075) weight block is illegal by today’s USBC standards, but since it was approved prior to the rule change it is perfectly legal for all USBC and PBA Regional competition.
The Sure Gripâ„¢ solid reactive coverstock is a performance proven winner over the last several years and is still one of the highest friction coverstocks on the market today.

I dunno what the reasoning was for this re release. But then again if it hooks a ton, people will buy it. I am interested to see reviews on it though. With the Super Walls just most bowlers bowl on today, this ball is gonna burn up before it leaves their hand. But it may be a good fit for a long flat pattern. We'll see. I wonder if more companies are going to do this to "beat" the USBC.BMM

because of comsumer feedback. I wonder if big B will ever reintroduce the
original Inferno due to overwhelming customer demands.
Copy RG's ideas and make a limited number of batches.

It would seem to me (not being able to find actual specs on the original) that the core and cover on the same so the only thing different would be the name (adding "classic") and perhaps the color. I don't think Hank, Roger and the rest of the guys would put together something that woudln't be approved.

It's drilled with the pin next to the ring finger,with the Cg in line with the pin and a weight hole next to the Cg marking.It clears the heads well and makes a hard left turn at 45-50 feet.As long as the backends are good,it takes out the ten.

Not a heavy oil ball!
I thought that coverstock name looked familiar; the same cover is on the Silver Streak solid. So the SD-73 is the Silver Streak solid with a higher Rg differential. (minor tweak in the core's RG from 2.50 of the SD-73 to the SS's 2.52.)
So 'splain to me the big deal about this ....
I don't get it.

Actually the core is grandfathered in. That's how Ebonite was able to get the No Limit in
Cores are not "grandfathered in", balls are. The No Limit and Visionary's Immortals are grandfathered in because the balls (not the cores) were approved prior to the rule change. Likewise for all the other balls with high diffs that were released in the last year or so (Hammer had one or two as well).
If cores were grandfathered in, Lane 1 could put the Cherry Bomb core in new balls. And every other previously approved high-diff core could be put into new balls. RG could put the Epic Battle's cover on the new SD-73 since it's the same core as the old SD-73 and it would be approved. But it can't be, because it's a new ball, not just an old core.

Still, it's either Sure-Grip or it's not. On Roto-Grip's website, the SS is listed as having the same named Sure Grip cover.

Remember i am lower revs around 250 rpm's and around 18 mph, so if i am able to get this type of reaction which is very limited i am sure what the higher rev players will able to produce with this ball.
The SD-73 is easily stronger than the Epic Battle which i have 2 of them and much much stronger than the Horizon Solid. Since it was only about 7 total shots and i was not comparing head too head i can say how much stronger than those 2 balls. I can tell you that i did throw a similarly drilled Brand new Strike Zone and it was about 6-7 boards stronger and much earlier than the Strike Zone.
I can say this ball is one of the strongest balls i have thrown, unless you need help or like too polish a ball up you might want too watch it roll first.
