Asym core
Pin up over the ring finger CG stacked drilling was a great reaction from this ball
I had the test ball they had sent out before they made this one a production piece and it was black in color and was absolutely amazing I wish I still had it,
they lost a lot of the reaction shape when they added the white to the coverstock

No, not yet
. I was going to drill it right up after getting it, but couldn't make up my mind about the pattern. In the meantime, I got other stuff and just ended up experimenting with those.The XS occupies a place of honor, proudly displayed at http://www.bowlingballvault.com/companies/1-amf/711-xs . It is 15yrs old, so it'll keep for a while if necessary

I'm not positive about this but I think the AMF XS series was designed by Mo Pinel, the main draw back about this ball was it had a Mass Bias that was Not marked, so it was easy to mis-drill these balls back in the day. If you draw a Line from the Pin through the Cg to 6 3/4, this should be the Mb point but because the Mb location is not marked, it's just a guess with these balls.

I would spin it up on a determinator to find the High RG Axis just to make sure... I'm not sure of the quality control on the ball.. i don't think the ball was marketed as an asymmetrical ball I don't know if they oriented the core any particular way..

If you want it to stay reasonably clean, you're going to have to polish it. If you leave it matte finish or sand it, it will look like an ashtray after 5 minutes of use.
