Title: brunswick black diamond
Post by: rico4life on February 10, 2014, 04:55:39 PM

I picked up a Brunswick black diamond yesterday that is undrilled which is kinda of unusual, just wondering if this ball is valueable or just a old rubber ball serial number is 13D919?

Just an old rubber ball.

The fact that it isnt drilled may help.

I think Danny Wiseman used one as a spare ball for a long time.

Hard rubber balls are a lot like very very hard pure urethane balls.  I actually liked them as a niche ball up till a few years ago, but the oils have gotten so much heavier in both viscosity and volume, that you can hardly use one anymore unless the track is totally burned from the dots on down.

Shops hate them because as soon as the drill bit hits the cover the whole shop smells like a tire factory.  Not a smell that goes away very soon, either.

Id actually be interested in it to be my spare ball. Id be worried about the weight being closer to 16lbs then 15.
