My first AMF ball since the MJ Slam
« on: June 19, 2009, 04:11:35 AM »
So I drilled a mega friction 2nd yesterday it's half black and half blue looks way better than the 1st quality ones but anyways I love this ball I threw it on a house shot and go 9- next 18 stone seven then x 7/ x for a 279 then 259  and about the MJ Slam what ball would be close to that I've been looking everywhere for one and I found one on here but the guy won't respond to sell it so I'll have to drill the closest thing to it

That MJ Slam hooks quite a bit on the back. The only ball that I can think of would be the Sideways (since the Hy-road doesn't have a higher diff).

The Track Hex-plosion Dual Torque core is pretty much a dead ringer for the MJ Slam core. The V2 Ebonite core is also somewhat similar.

The Hex-Plosion was one of the worst balls I've ever thrown and one of the worst balls produced. No comparison with the MJ Slam and I've had plenty of them.

Well, they do say 80% of a balls reaction is the coverstock - LOL - Seriously, when the MJ Slam came out, in 1998 with a 1000 grit finish on the coverstock  it was considered a good heavy oil ball, with current lane conditions it would be considered a light/medium oil ball.
