My sin and I were at a local center the other day. The second closest to our house. We were thinking of switching to this place for his juniors for a couple reasons and he wanted to go there again just to make sure.

Anyway...the pro shop had night time hours that day and I recently lost a finger grip so we went in. As I usually do, I checked out all the balls on display although I generally don't expect to see anything I haven't seen before. Well that wasn't the case. I saw a few balls that were completely unknown or that I knew to be fairly old. The one that I was unaware of turned out to be quite old and is the reason for this post.

He had on display both a 15 and 16 pound Columbia Action. New mind you. I looked it up later and saw that it was from ~2005(!!!). I noted that it was a solid with a super low RG (2.43 or thereabouts). Obviously predates the current 'legal' specs.

The price tag he has on them is under 100. Was/is this a good ball? The core specs alone have me interested based in my lower rev rate. In the whiskey world we call such a find a 'dusty'. Have I found one here?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

So I was looking at this again this morning during my sons league. It would appear it has a zero pin. CG is stamped right on top of the pin. Would that be a reason for an x-out?  If so, what are the ramifications of such a thing? Big deal?

Probably so. That pretty much just limits you to a pin down drilling which has been a great layout on the action packed for me.

Did you end up buying the Action? If decided not to could you provide me with the info? I'm in the market for one with a short pin.

Oh okay man I appreciate the response.
