Title: Black Rhino question
Post by: dougb on April 17, 2010, 03:40:21 AM
Grabbed one of these at a garage sale today.  The span is pretty darn close and it's in good shape, so for $5 why not?

Now if this was a Gold or Teal Rhino I'd be very happy!  I can't seem to find any info on the Black though.  Just looking at the ball, my best guess is it's a 3-piece construction with a urethane shell.  Is that right?  Anything you can tell me about it is appreciated.

Rhino or Rhino Pro?

If it's the Rhino, then yes, pancake block.

Rhino,   oh well.  Looking down in the thumb hole it looked like there's a core because it's black, while the filler is grey.   Looks like I got another ball for dry lanes and spares!

I am using a black Rhino now for spares and the dry house shot. Also for the short sport patterns.

Good to know.  What surface do you have the cover at?

After I drilled it I left it at 1000 abralon. I haven't touched it since, only cleaning it regularly. It's old urethane which is much harder than todays urethane so the oil stays on the surface. Too shiny will never read the lane after a few games.
