Re-Covering an old Favorite
« on: December 01, 2012, 09:17:36 PM »
We all have an old favorite that is essentially dead.  Imagine if you could send that in and have the original coverstock removed, and replaced with a modern coverstock.

If you had to stay with the same company, ie: Black Widow Pearl would have to go back to Hammer, what combo would you create?

If you could send your core into any company, what what combo would you create?

How much would you pay for the experiment?

Set up a ball reviews edition, rotate through the willing companies each year.  Have voting to determine.

Setting it up would be easy enough. It would just be a matter of what the minimum numbers would have to be and whether or not enough BR members would put up the $$ to follow through and buy the ball.

The Cuda/C core with 900 Global's S73 pearl cover, and S77 for the solid.

Storm X-Factor RAD core with the R2X pearl cover found on the Marvel Pearl would be cool as well.

The Cuda/C had a great core.  I shot many honor scores with that ball in juniors back in the day.
