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.

Ball hit lower on the pin, and helped the pin go sideways on the deck...which increased pin contact.
A pin flying horizontally, hits more pins than a vertically flying pin.
At least, that's what I was told back in the '60s by some of the older, better bowlers.

I don't know about the illegal stuff... But Brian Voss was/is? on staff with Elite, and I remember from somewhere there was a discussion and talk with him about multi colors on a bowling ball. He hated it because he said it made it difficult for him to see/get a good read on what the ball was doing on the lane so he carried around about every color you could buy in Sharpies, and he blacked out the logos and stuff on all his bowling equipment. If he is still on Elite Staff, I'd say this ball was a favor to him.

That's odd, for me it is just the opposite. I like the swirls and logos on the ball because they help me see the transition phases of the ball through the lane as it makes its path to the pindeck. I can tell when the skid is over and the roll has begun.

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.

My memory may be faulty, but I think that is why the Brunswick 8583 came out. It was at least 8.583 and they also had a ring in the proshops to measure the ball with.

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.
