Estimated time range I saw were September 14 - 30th!

Since they'll both be poured on the same assembly line (900Global) and they'll probably use the same urethane coverstock (different color combination), I'm guessing the Seismic Desperado and the AMF Hype Urethane will be poured at the same time.

Charlest,

As I was saying to someone else (maye have been you?) in the main forum, our pour time is nothing to do with AMFs... when we have everything ready, our ball will go into full production...

Also, regarding the cover, it will be completely different to AMFs cover... the reason we have not yet released our ball is that we are still working on tweaking the cover to get the exact reaction we want.  We have made 2 alterations to the cover already which I believe have never been done before with urethane.

Although our equipment is poured by Global, we have full control over all aspects of design with regards to specification of core and cover... 900 Global are great to work with and very helpful, and we are happy to learn from them where we can, but we are not limited in any way in the design our balls.

Cheers
Ryan

Are you ever going to pour balls in Belfast? Do you sell many balls in Europe?


Carl, I dont see us building balls in Belfast any time soon!  its really not at all economic...

We are getting more and more coverage in Europe, with a lot of the Team Pergamon players throwing Seismic in Sweden and on the European Tour, so its lookin positive!

Cheers
Ryan

I didnt like my Link when I first got it. But my driller added a weight hole to give it a later more angular move, and now its my favorite ball. (Although my BPP is catching it)
