Love that ball when it was out back in the old days...
But it rolled up early, so you may need to polish it up...
If I remember right, it was about a 400 to 600 sanded cover... ouch...
Not as for that core, don't hit it with a drill bit...
Personally, I think a Ti-Boss Strawberry would be the way to go....
Best 3rd game ball I ever had, in the old days....
