I'd say the closest ball in their current line-up would be either
- the Diabolo with some polish added to it,
OR
- the Depth Charge with some of the polish taken off or chaged to about a 1000 grit with a very light polish.
Problem is the Absolute has a very low RG with above average RG differential and a lightly polished very strong coverstock that almost acts like a lightly polsihed particle pearl. The Diabolo's cover is strong but too rough; the DC has that very low RG but the cover is too highly polished.
