What the hell is THIS? China fakes with VBP, MoRich and Track copy elements?

Maybe the USBC stamp is faked like the rest of the logo's?  Heck, it might be interesting to buy one to cut it open.  There's no guarantee that the core pictured is indeed inside.

Maybe it has the new Killer coverstock.  It made of Lead very good bargain for POS

I'd have to wonder about the logo, but the Rakion is produced by Via Bowling Products - VBP.

That ball actually has Visionary/USA listed as the manufacturer.

The other balls have VIA/China listed.  

It's the 6th item down, and pretty much the only thing in english on the page!
