Love to see that thing roll.  We had people making there own spinners, drill press'.  Now with the natural progression of things, now bowling balls.  LOL  It's kinda funny, but I do want to see a video of this one.

That's the coolest looking ball Jon. What core did you put in it or did you even make your own core? Why did it take 10 months?

On edit: didn't realize thebowlchannel.com video hadn't completely encoded.

Check out youtube instead!!!

It has the Bully core in it.

I had a display core with a riser pin and everything.

Stuck it in the bottom of a chamber and started pouring extra plug in it.

10 months later it was full and it took 2 weeks of using a plug cutter and Haus resurfacer to get it round and of legal size.

This is nuts. Is that just plain ball plugging, or is the coverstock reactive in any way?

You've got a great hockey-stick move out of that ball and I'm shocked to see ball plugging work that well. Kind of makes me take a second thought about the "core" half of the core-cover combo.

Great job!
