Inverted bell core & One 7 TM Reactive
« on: March 07, 2007, 11:56:59 AM »
I know the Inverted bell core  & One 7 TM Reactive are from the triumphs.  

But knowing AMF does anyone no what other balls the core was used in (besides from AMF)and what the One 7 TM Reactive is equivalent to?

I don't believe you're going to find the core in anything other than AMF balls.

As far as I know, AMF300 products were designed seperately from the rest of Columbia and Track.  Not sure if AMF/Columbia/Track share coverstock formulas or not.


From the press release about the AMF/Columbia licensing agreement (May 5, 2003):
quote:
Columbia Industries, Inc. will be organizing a team of professional sales and marketing personnel to act autonomously in the sale of AMF branded consumer products.  This management team, operating out of the San Antonio, Texas area, will assemble and carry out its own strategic business plan.  One of the team’s first duties will be to establish a global distribution network and outline a timetable for new product introductions.

Ok let me set the record straight. AMF300 and AMF are not the same company. Columbia Industries is the official licensee of AMF consumer products. What this means is Columbia pays AMF a royalty to use there logo and brand. All decisions on products are made by the President (Bill Supper and my self) we are paid by Columbia Ind. We have sales staff and office staff that just work under the AMF300 brand, but are also employees of Columbia.



And finally, posted here shortly after the asset purchase:

"Ebonite did not acquire any rights to the AMF300 line. We will remain a separate company and continue to operate as usual. More information will be provided in the future.

The bell core was an AMF exclusive core we used the last couple of years.  You can find it in the Triumph line, the Terminal Velocity, as well as the Venom.  The Terminal was particle and the Venom had a medium load particle with a pearl shell.

The bell core is unique to the AMF, however the cover on the Triumph Tour bears a striking resemblance to the cover on the Arsenal Aggressive Reactive. My pro shop guy and one of his distributors thinks its the same cover. Pretty much the same coloring.

Yes, I have one
