Those were Special Edition,...the weigh block is made out of Kryptonite. I think that there were only 10 of those made,...each sold for about $800.00

I think those were seed balls of the AU79. I have one that I bought from guy that got it at a tournament. The balls are not approved for wibc/abc competition.



Can anyone confirm that these are not approved? I dont think thats true, but I don't know. I hope not. Someone told me it was a special edition released to overseas b/c Steve Hoskins had shot a 900 series over there. Other than the 900 label, its suppose to be identical. Therefor it should be approved. Correct??

Relax, its exactly the same as the Au79, except for the 900 Logo. By the way, all of our cores are made of Kryptonite. And that ball is ABC, USBC legal.



Looks like I type way too slow. Thanks

Does anyone know how many were made? I already dont want to drill it b/c its so beautiful and elegant! Don't let me find out its 1 of very few, or I'll probally never drill it.

That picture looks just like the one on the DT website: quite ugly in purple and yellow (kind of like the RG Rush), one of the reasons I never bought one, UNTIL I couldn't resist the great reports.

Then I bought one and learned they are a BEAUTIFUL red and yellow. Sorry I didn't buy one earlier!

Yeah the pic doesnt do it any justice whatsoever. Its a deep red with gold swirl. Very elegant! I cant wait to throw it!
