Saw that as well, looks pretty good. Lower RG and higher Diff compared to the Incinerate. Also its a F77 solid vs F90.

Nice 3 ball line up on the higher end for AMF. Still waiting to put holes in the Incinerate.

I may have jumped the gun on the ball .. I ordered one of the seed balls but I thought this ball was for MED-Heavy oil .. what is it designed for OOB?

This will be for heavy not for medium. Same cover as freight train put stronger core numbers.

Yeah i hear you on that one but i got this one to polish up and be a compliment to my incinerate and incinerate pearl. I love strong cover and core solids with lots of polish.

If this ball with an F77 coverstock is for heavy oil, what is the Incinerate with an F90 coverstock (& the same core) for?

Joe,
I suspect with a longer pin-PAP drilling and possibly a P1 weight hole (and/or polish, if needed) you can make it usable for less than true heavy oil. There are lots of adjustment options, if needs be.

I don't think they have the same core. They're both symmetric, but the numbers don't match..

The core shapes are the same.  The density of the flip block was modified in order to change the RG and Diff values.

No, they're not identical. For 15 lb. balls
Incinerate: 2.490", .050"
Darkness: 2.479", .054"
But they're so similar calling them different is liking saying identical twins are different because one cut himself shaving that morning. I wonder if you could get that much or a larger difference by using solely different pin-PAP distances???

The blocks are indeed identical in shape. The weight of the darkness core is a little heavier than the one in the incinerate core resulting in a lower rg and higher diff.
