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.

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!

How much does that beast weigh?
--------------------
http://www.absolutebowling.com
We used the plug cutter to a predetermined depth (based on flushing the plug cutter on a brand new ball) on all sides and resurfaced it. Before doing that it was 16.5 pounds. After it is 15.5 pounds.
Here's the kicker.....before drilling....it had 9oz top weight. I think either the sample cores aren't "really" the cores used in balls or the orientation of our core in the ball was more towards the top, creating a "bit" more top weight.
The ball is completely plug material. No filler, no reactive.
Still working on a name.....most people say it looks like a planet and have been suggesting Uranus be the name, I'm not sold on it yet.
It does have a funky roll on it. Hooks more than I thought it would.

Read this (http://"http://900global.com/tech/BowlingBallProductionDesign") article from 900 Global. Very small shifts in the core lead to noticeable changes in top weight. You could not even eyeball it close enough to guarantee "decent" specs.

Check out the throw at 1:40. As the ball goes down the lane, it appears you can actually see the wobble before it hits the pins!
Pretty neat wobble effect. It looks as the frames per second, and the design and rotation of the ball matched up perfectly for the effect.

There was no effect added to the video. What you see is REAL wobble. The ball has some serious imbalance.
Rolling it real slow for fun this afternoon I was able to get the ball to go from about 3 board on the right side to left of the head-pin within the last 5 feet of the lane. It was crazy to see. I only wish I had my video camera with me.

That is way too cool. Did it end up ruining the Hook Again chamber? I have a chamber that I want to keep usable but I can get a Bully display core as well so I am seriously consider doing this.
After we started pouring plug in the chamber (about 1/4 of the way) we realized we didn't line the inside with anything to prevent the plug from sticking to the chamber, so we lined the remainder of the chamber with vaseline.
When it was time to remove the ball, there was some problems where the plug had stuck to the plastic and damaging the chamber was necessary to getting the ball out. Not completely damaging, just a few cracks around the perimeter.
I would suggest lining the inside with vaseline before you pour any plug and make sure to keep an air-tight seal ( we taped the edges with packing tape) until the entire ball is dry.
Good Luck!!

The only problem is you couldn't use it in competition, as it's not USBC-approved.

JLB, what you did basically was build a Legends/LaneMasters ball with a Columbia core (i.e., coverstock all the way through). That was a helluva research project and there was a lot to learn from this. And I can't believe how much this ball hooks -- kind of brings into question just what ball plug is made of...

A planet name is surely a good choice, when I first saw the ball it reminded me much of Jupiter or Saturn and its cloud/storm rings in the atmosphere.
Wow!

Out there in Cali, you got plenty of sand to make the "particle" version. I'll be looking for that just in time for the Tour Trials next year!! I'll bet the Insite and Banger guys have some "real" cores laying around you could use.

If you take the ball to a Grave Headstone business. They can engrave a logo from a jpg on the ball.
