Ball is probably about 7-8 years old.  Was a nice piece of equipment, probably still good for a house shot.  Always thought a good arsenal would have been the V1-V2-V3 and the wipeout.  Covers all the conditions.  Sorry, can't give any more information, been too long since I've seen one.

There was Wipeout and Wipeout Sparkle.

The Wipeout was a fairly aggressive ball intended for medium-heavy oil patterns. It was, as the reference show, finished with 800 grit dull and high flaring core. It would probably be a good ball today on medium to med-heavy oil depending on all the usual factors.

The Sparkle was kind of the pearlized counterpart, intended as a step down from the Wipeout.
