Don't know the specifics of what happened, but, Richie does not seem the type to go backwards, nor to someone and ask please to get a deal done.
Lane 1 and Brunswick went there own ways for some reason, albeit unknown to me. I don't think Ritchie would go back and use a Brunswick cover anymore.
Now, that said, if you were to go and put a strong variant of the Super-Flex cover on those cores as remakes, you would end up with a pretty strong ball, at least it would seem so.
