The Wolverine Dark Moss features the same S70 cover that was on the original Wolverine that came out of the box at 1500 polish. The only difference is color and surface prep which is now at 4K fast out of box. I have both Wolverines and I can honestly say I do not see any performance difference when the covers are identical. Out of box at 4K, the shape is similar, but slightly rounder and earlier than the 1500 polish version. I drilled mine 4 x 65 to get the smoothest motion possible while still retaining continuation, and it does not disappoint. The higher RG helps with noticeably extra and easier length, which allows for a great motion down the lane. With a polished surface, it's a great step down from a Zen Soul or any of the Idol series, while being a significant step up from the Burners, Hustles, and Tropicals. If you loved your original blue Wolverine and want to replace it, this is the one!
