Title: new ball coming this fall, immortal amb black pearl
Post by: Fireball on August 20, 2005, 01:55:08 AM
in august issue of bowling this month,
page 42, article fall ball lineup

to be released later this fall, the
black pearl amb immortal is one of a dying breed.
boasting an rg differential of .078 inches,
and grandfathered in prior to the usbc rule change,
this ball has the potential to create more flare than
any than any ball on the market.  for those of you who
need or prefer a ball with an extremely high differential,
this line may be your last opportunity to purchase a usbc
sanctioned ball with these numbers.

Any ball that expands the visionary line is a good ball in my mind, glad to see they are releasing so many balls, maybe one day visionary won't be so uncommon.

I'll add since USBC is gonna restrict differential....I would think Visionary is trying to get a ball out with high differential before the mandate.  Makes sense to me.  

Whne you think about the balls they've brought out last couple of years.  Blue Slate, B/G Centaur & Violet these are all balls less than .045 differential and lower hookers well B/G Centaur and Slate are.  So, bringing out higher hookers make sense the AMB Centaur Particle basically replaced the Scorcher.  AMB Solid the Charcoal and AMB Pearl the Crimson Executioner.....althought the AMB core is way different than the Executioner core.  I'd say these balls were brought out to replace the ones I mentioned.  

Maybe the Immortal is more like the Green Gargoyle or G2 ???

Fencer04--I agree with you.  Maybe I need to develop more of a no hander game anyway.  At least that's how I am feeling last few years.  

It's all about speed lately anyway.

It seems that everyone is overly concerned with the balls Flare.  Understand that every bowling ball has the POTENTIAL to flare to a certain degree based on the layout on the ball.

The biggest problem with the flare will come when you drill the ball 3 3/8 as this would be the strongest hooking position from CG to PAP.

Because of the ball's POTENTIAL to flare, that is what is going to make it such a great addition to the current Visionary line.  Those of us who like to go deep will probably be able to really get comfortable 20 and deeper as we were with the G-3.

Not sure how your track doesn't go completely around any ball.
