I just got the ball they have blacked out the logos and the pin, so it is all black in color kind of funny looking. So do not waste your time by more than one unless you do not mind the all black ball.

I cannot find the reason for any blem on the specs, maybe there was an engraving error under all that black stuff on the logos hahaha

So once in awhile i read about guys wanting a ball without any logos so buy this one on the pilot program and you will be happy. Going to drill to pin under 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 it has no marked mass bias.

I just got my Black Label drilled up saturday, and I completely love the ball. It hits harder and moves better than my Black Widow Solid. Amazing ball for the price. As a low rev lefty stroker, its hard to find balls you can throw out and have them come into the pocket hard.

I average 140 in league, I threw the Elite Black yesterday, and got:
216, 170, 169: 185 avg 555 series. The ball was amazing, it hit like a bazooka, blew the pins away, left a few 7's but that was my fault and one 7 10 on a perfect hit, which was shocking. However overall it amazed me.

I used my Microfiber Oil Absorbing towel between each frame to wipe the track and flare marks clean and it worked the entire time. The first game and a half I threw second dot second arrow and allowed the backend to carry it into the pocket, the last game and a half the lanes broke down a bit, I stood center dot, threw over the second arrow, and she came back nicely. I made some dumb mistakes, but averaging 45 over my league average on the year is good in my opinion.

I also clean it with Ebonite Powerhouse Energizer between each series. My ball is more of a dark dark blue, and not so much of a black, but at any rate, I LOVE this ball.

Not to mention the 40% off gift card and $20 gift card you get. 40% off means another elite ball at an insanely low price if you wish to use it on that. The Elite Black Label is better for me than my Black Widow Solid, without a doubt.
