Bought a Golden Nugget when they came out(4yaers ago?), and while I still love throwing it, it is probably time to look for a replacement. I throw it when the heads start to dry out, because this ball gets through the heads great and still has great backend. Also love this ball because I can get really deep and still carry (inside 4th arrow). The surface is sanded to 1000 and then hit with Quikcut, not dull , but not shiny either.
