How would you find out if the ball that you are buying is a blem or x out balls?
I always browse through Ebay on bowling balls & sometimes I get to see some with unusual specs on the ball.For example: top weights of 2oz & 4.90 oz or pin placement of 1" or 5-5 1/2" or discoloration of the ball.Sometimes on the description, they will mention it as first quality or X balls but in a way, How would you know if that individual is telling the truth?When you look at the pictures from ebay,you couldn't barely tell if it's a blem or not.
On top weight of the ball, what do you consider a blem or X out balls?
What's the lowest & the highest top weight to consider that the ball is still first quality?
On Pin placements, Do you consider 1" or 5-5 1/2" still first quality?
On discoloration of the ball, How would you know & how could you tell from the pictures?
How about the position of the MB or Rad indicator if it's not alligned at 6:00 position to the pin & cg,is that a blem or first quality?
Example:
-----------Pin
-----------CG
(MB)------or---------(MB)
or
(Rad)------or---------(Rad)
I hope this are not silly questions 'coz I just need to know.
