Bill talks about the balls a bit in this podcast with Joey Cerar and Tim Burg. http://above180.com/2013/12/the-proper-way-to-line-up-with-bill-hall/
Agreed tough market unsure how small manufacturer makes it today's demographics. Niche environment.
Thanks for posting. I listened to it.
For those who didn't, Bill explains the lettering on each ball. He's actually going to have two different lines targeting two different styles of player. "NST" stands for "New School Technology" which he says is for the modern player who is looking for a big backend ball.
"OSW" stands for "Old School Works", and Bill thinks there is a demand from players like me who don't rip the cover off the ball and send it rocketing down the lane at 18 mph+. This is a tamer ball reaction.
He also talks about these two balls and posted some info on Facebook.
The first OSW is a symmetric ball with a 2.503 RG and 0.035 differential. It comes OOB at 1500 polished and Bill says the color looks like Yellow Dot Bleeder. He took an old Columbia 300 core (since 900 Global owns them) and tweaked it, adding a new coverstock. He compares the ball motion to an original Blue Hammer with a reactive coverstock. I'm sold!
As for the NST, this is a completely new core/cover design of his own making. It has a 2.480 RG along with a .048 differential.
Finally, he's coming out with a Blend10 polyester ball so your Blend10 arsenal can be complete.
Balls will be released first week of March.
