None of the above.  Put a low rg, asymetrical core on any urethane shell and you would have a ball that would knock the socks off anything from the 80's.  Then cut the oil back a little bit, and everyone would be wondering why guys were still averaging 230 with all the high tech shells gone.


Would the Phantom fall into this category?

Blue, Pink, Black, Red Hammers for all conditions

Blue Enforcer, Black Enforcer, Black Turbo, Solid Red Hammer
(not the pearl) Nowadays, the Lane 1 XXL is a match for any urethane
that I've ever used.

I have thrown almost all of them. I have owned the red and blue pearl, black, blue, red, purple, burgandy and pink hammer and even the navy but that was the first resin.  I have also thrown the black turbo, black and crimson phantoms, U dot and the black angle, sumo, black rhino and the scarlet quantum.

My favorites were the black phantom, purple and blue hammers, and black turbo.  I still have a black turbo, black phantom and a red and purple hammer.

Doc, you are one of the very few people I have ever heard of that liked the Phantom.

Of course at the time few proshops around here had any idea on how to drill them. The instruction sheet read like a Chinese fire drill.

Very few were drilled and only a small percentage of those were liked.
