i saw a bounty hunter with an "inverted core" and on the ball is ingraved display only. but it had great specs. what would happen if i drilled it?
-
does it have a USBC approval & serial number? If so I would think it was legal, if not anything you bowl in a sanctioned event league or otherwise could lead to all scores and wins being disqualified.

-
How do you know the core is inverted?
-
thats what the box said and the guy who sent it
-
Your telling me on the box it says "inverted core"?
-
it was only a matter of time.

I would assume that with certain layouts it won't make a difference but I would think with others it would.. I would think that it might make the ball smoother and not as flippy.. but this ball isn't flippy anyway though..
I say this cause with alot of old school balls with an added "flip cap" they put this at the not of the core.. so if you put it at the bottom I would think it would take that flip away.. most cores tend to have more mass at the top half of the core...
maybe roll like a negative drilled ball.
just theories.

i want to drill it but i dont want to drill a dud will it make a strong ball into a plastic ball with the core inverted? and i dont want to drill an illegal ball
-
well unless you are headed to major tourneys possibly out of your area, as in Nationals or something of the sort, I would say it will not matter at all because no one ever checks this stuff anyhow.....................................

every one of my balls started with at least 4oz i love high top weight seems to make the ball stronger and they dont have crater sized wieght holes

Couple of things...
It cant say inverted core. We dont make a label that says that.
We dont advise drilling it, if we did it wouldnt say for display only. These display balls do not carry a warranty and are given away to shops to put on the shelf, not to drill or sell.

Inverted core wouldn't mean anything anyways if you have ever had a ball with a 7" plus pin and flip the ball and mark the cg on the other side and drill it. It is where the ball would be in about half a revolution anyways.
Most of the display only balls I've seen have 7+ ozs top weight. But I don't work for the company so I would go with whatever he says.

Not necessarily.. iys putting the top of the core on the opposite hemisphere of the ball as the ball goes down the lane.. it isn't the same as just revolving the ball a half a turn..

It could have bottom weight. In which case you'd need to drill it upside down to make it legal for top/bottom weight, and so it would be no different than drilling a regular version.

My guess on this is that the ball was sent to a pro shop or something as a display ball. The "inverted core" designation is most likely stamped there because the core inside the ball is indeed up side down and therefore could not be sold.
Hence the : "For Display Only" designation....
