IS it a ball with the best core ever made in it (DC core)?

I'd say a Pearl Gryphon with an Ice Blue Executioner Core Type.

Stone 9 Pins and Stone 8 Pins I can Handle.  Stone 7 and 10 Pins I can Handle as well.  But when you throw the first 11 and leave the Pocket 7-10...Then It's on.


Do you mean Purple Ice Executioner?
I would like to see another ball with the ex core or the DC core

Slate gargolye urethane ball that they had originally said for Juy release.

from Visionary board:
quote:

We do have a dry lane urethane in the works that we were intending to release sometime in July, but due to an abundance of orders that we have received since Bowl Expo, we have put that on hold temporarily. As soon as we receive ABC approval, I will post more information on it.

Are the Clear Gargoyle's still in production?  I still want one!!!

Forget Kung Fu, I know Ron Bahr!!!

The only difference between youth and adult leagues are that the big boys are allowed to whine.  They're more entertaining anyway.

If anyone out there is worried about the scores being too high, try duckpin!!

Yep, it's a definite on the dry lane Gargoyle.  Should be interesting!

About the DC cores.  Don't look for any of these in the future.  I'm not saying that they are dead forever but, do to increased production, (and demand,) of their newer balls the DC line is pretty much done.  Called them just the other day to pick up another Scorcher in 15 lbs. and they are already gone!  As far as the Warlock DC and the Warlock DC Tour, I'm not sure what's left.  If your a fan of the DC core and think you may want one, don't wait around or they will all be gone.

As far as their spare ball goes.  Nobody's saying but, if it was me and I got stung like they did the first time they went outside of the company for product, that would be it for that experiment.  Myself, I would be happy if they just took one of their existing cores, (Burgundy Gryphon, Gargoyle, Executioner,) and put a version of it in a polyester ball.  Preferably with a compound similar to the original Amulet.

They are a very busy bunch of ball makers at the moment so it may be just a little while before we see the new Slate Blue Gargoyle Dry and even longer before we get any answers regarding a spare ball.

I was told that test staffers should be getting the new catalogue soon in the mail!  Maybe that will shed some light on what's to come.

Regardless, it looks like there will be some new toys coming via the big brown truck before too much longer!

Oh and by the way........
Executioners, Gargoyles and Gryphons....that is all...everything else is gone or going away!

I also heard something of an in-between ball.....in between the Blue and Burgandy, and.......another one less thant he blue....so 4 total Gryphon's by the time it's all said and done.......

I guess I need to see if they have a 16# scorcher.  I already have NIB tour(might get another one though)

This is going to be the Gargoyle core with a urethane cover polished to 1500 right?  Was'nt that the Glowing Amulet?  Or is this a new urethane or a core change?

Just wondering.

Have a great day.
