Thanks for the pics, looks like two versions I & II.  I kinda like the specs on the ball, low rg.  But price was too high starting at 179  . . . .

No facts to back me, but I believe the megatons is the overseas version equivalent to the black cherry bomb.

"It has a pearl Hybrid cover similar to the dirty bomb and the specs are similar to the Hybrid dirty bomb."  That is what Warren told me.  I wish I had the $$$ I'd love to buy one, just can't afford it right now.

Warren is a A+ guy so you shouldn't worry about his credibility.  I've bought a ball and a 4 ball roller in the past, always had great communication.

There is something not right here. If these are the original megatons, the hybrid coverstock wasn't even around yet. If these are new releases, they would not be legal because of the high differential. SOMEONE IS BLOWING SMOKE!
--------------------
There is also nothing about a new release on the lane one site. IF it is a new release, I don't think they would re-use the name of an old ball. IMHO!

Scottie, a couple of questions. Why is it not mentioned on lane one site & why do they re-use the same name? seems unusual to me.

Sawuser,

Viper pearl was released in 1996 and again in 2002 I believe.

It is a brand new ball.

The Dirty Bomb used RadioActive(Activator) on it's cover, not the Hybrid.

From what it sounds like from the info gathered on this post, it sounds like a pearlized Hybrid Dirty Bomb. Whether or not that is true, I cannot say for sure. But if it does use the Hybrid/Dirty Bomb core, I believe that core is legal under the USBC so there is no issue there.

not sure why its not mentioned on the site--if its a limited run, they may not say much about it...maybe its part of the agreement with the japanese company they are making the balls for....again, if the name was not used in teh usa, why not use it now?
