Name that core
« on: February 21, 2007, 10:22:19 AM »
Interesting pics of some real cores we found laying in the shop.

Core from EPX T1/Icon/Rock On and Columbia Bully/Power Drive


....no real point, just general conversation.  The Epic Battle/Saga core does weigh about 8 pounds.  That mofo is dense!!  Must be why it finishes to incredibly hard.

Why is it that those cores were laying around?  Did they come from balls that were cracked?

They were marketing cores, the Battle core was actually pulled out of a cracked ball.

$249 for a Full Throttle.  Ouch.  Does the boat come with the anchor?

I remember picking up a Midnight Quantum core yrs ago, then the shop owner handed me a Blue Wolf core to show me the difference. I guess a hunk of Zirconia(Wolf) will be a bit heavier than what felt like dense foam!!(Quantum)
