SURFACE PREPARATION
OoB = 2000 Abralon

COMMENTS
OoB the Black Panther reminds me allot of the Liberator, with its flat black color and sparkling silver labels.  As expected it is considerably stronger then the Pink Panther as well as everything else in the current lineup.  Very aggressive mid lane reaction yet still having smooth turn to the pocket.  You will need oil and lots of it for the Black Panther.  More to come in the not too distant future.

The ball looks very nice. I might get one to replace my Super Carbide Bomb; had it resurfaced and bowled a 706 on 3/20 but to me it's slowly dying out

Zeus, How much stronger is the BP than the Timebomb? I understand you have an entirely different drilling on them, but what do YOU think? THANX, the don

 Just so happens I was using the two last night, when I switched from the BP to the TB I moved my feet 5 boards right and aimed for the same target.  Big difference is in reaction though, cause the BP starts up a whole lot sooner.
