The original SD-73, not the reissue.

It isn't that the ball was illegal...at the time, it did not meet PBA hardness specs and could not be used on tour.  It was perfectly acceptable for ABC/WIBC competition.

PBA had a hardness limit of 75 and the ABC had a hardness limit of 72.  The SD73 had a hardness of 73.  So it was legal for ABC, but illegal for PBA.
