Depends, is it the Re-make poured by 900 Global or the Ebonite poured Nighthawk?


Props to Afflac for dumping Gilbert!

I was only aware of one AMF Nighthawk  and its pearl.
Are you saying that Ebonite poured it for AMF?
I only found one Nighthawk, and its pearl, in the USBC list of approved balls.

Original Black Nighthawk came out in the late 90s when Del Warrenwas at the head of AMF before he took the Track job. The original Nighthawk line was poured in San Antonio by Columbia. About 4 years ago, 900 Global decided to bring back the Nighhawk in the AMF line and remade the original Black solid and Pearl Nighthawk. Both issues were good pieces, but I would say if this is an original Columbia pour, you could bring a pretty penny. How can you tell the difference? The new 900 pours will have the USBC logo on the ball while the old Columbia pour in the late 90s will not have the USBC logo.

 

Hope this helps,

Hmmm....  I still have an original Nighthawk M2 in my den.  I bought it and another some time ago for when my first ran out of gas.  I still have the one NIB and one with a whopping two games on in since I met Ron Clifton and changed my span and pitches.  The first (and second used) are still going strong, so I never drilled the NIB or had the two game one plugged and redrilled.  I put between 2000 and 2500 games on the one (I bought used) and it's still going strong.  That is either the best ball ever for my style or the best cover ever made.

My first reactive ball was an AMF Nighthawk Menace SPT.  Real nice ball, sold it to a friend when I bought my Mission, but I kinda wish I kept it now.
