ThomasR. Thank you very much for the information. So this is the exact same core as the original??  How does the coverstock do with surface changes??

That was one of my favorite things about the original Nighthawk, even with surface that ball was still very clean in the fronts and just absolutely perfect mid-lane motion and roll. Like a hard sweeping arc, that never stopped. Possibly the most versatile balls I've ever owned

Oh, by the way....

Thomas, one of my real favorites!  AMF Angle Evolution Extra!  Why did I ever sell!

How much more mass bias did this one have than the Nighthawk?

Any chance to bring that baby back?  With a modern coverstock?

The Favorite had the S57 Shell.  This has the 55.  The core is the Favorite, modified with a top flip block and denser middle mass (this was done to get the same effect as the original's outer ring, which is now unavailable do to manufacturing restrictions).  Overall, the two cores are remarkably similar in dimensions and density distribution.

If you liked the Favorite because of the shell's ability to roll awesome at 2000, 4000 or polished, then you'll love this one too.  So far I've thrown it at all 3 of these surfaces with pretty good success.  The 2000 definitely gave me an early read, but I was able to shoot 245, 235, 236 on old wood lanes with it.  Polished, the Night Hawk SE didn't turn into a skid flip machine, but it will retain a little more energy and length while still being very smooth and controllable (shot 770 with this surface).  Ultimately, I'm probably going to carry around one at polished and one at "T" pad at all times!
