The ball is a RAD3 core with a pearl particle Accu-Tread coverstock. When tested against all of the other balls in the Master Line, this ball had the strongest entry angle into the pins of any of the Master Line balls ( according to the CATS data ). The ball will come factory polished so it should fit in between the Triple X-Treme and the Triple X.

The Ace and Hot Rod Pro Stock Pearl auctions end tomorrow, and both are still at very low prices considering the availability of this ball.

Thanks!

We drilled up our ACE last night for a lefty stroker who was having issues getting his XXX to turn properly.  Even with 3/4 side weight this ball made a much better read in the mids and gave a hard turn.  This ball solved his problem and then some.  

I look forward to seeing someone with a more powerfull delivery throw this ball.
