NOT AN EXPERT,
But I did catch the same thing several years ago when this was happening. Several different people had different info they were spreading about the ball, and I emailed Ebonite about it.
Was told that the confusion was caused by having tested several cores with that cover, deciding to go with one, then changing their minds “at the last minuteâ€, which caused some incorrect PR material to get out.
I was told the VERVE core was supposed to be the correct core for that ball during production. Couldn’t find the old email I had about it, but I am absolutely sure that’s what I was told back then.
