GYRO ?
« on: December 26, 2010, 01:53:54 AM »
Was there a remake of this ball ? The one my buddy has looks nothing like the one on the site...  

Thanks..

There were many Gyros over the years.

<font face=''''Comic Sans MS''''>Ok cause the 3 they have listed in the retired ball section look nothing like this one..  

word  Gyro with 2 circles around it, top side of the word Gyro has a line in the inner circle.. on the outer part of the circles it has symbols around it..  square, line,plus sign,and a triangle.. Was just trying to see actually how old this ball is.. It''''s in BAD shape..</font id=''''Comic Sans MS''''>

Think you answered your own question. Ball is in ball shape?
If it was given to you, resurface, plug and drill?
Well, buy a Tornado or a Freeze.

It's not mine, team mates.. I got it looking really nice, considering.. I've got a Rising I'm picking up here soon, so I'll just sell it to him for what I'm paying for it.. already plugged, just needs drilled to his specs..  

Thanks..

That Gyro was sold thru sporting goods stores and some discount stores.

The ball would be from roughly1. Around that time Ebonite was incorporating the weight block shape into their logos. The Gyro used a pancake weight block. That is why the 2 circles with the line accross
