Mystery Ball

I found and bought an undrilled ball at a flea market for 5 bucks. Does anyone have any information about Konan KGC Vesuvius? I can't find any information about it online and it doesn't show up on the USBC approved list.

Wow never heard of that before? Curious if anyone else has. Is it a reactive, urethane, or rubber ball?

Konan, thought he was a late night talk show host !

I have never heard of it, could it be something other than a bowling ball, or one from another country that someone brought here ?

You could always drill it up and use it for a practice ball, or use in an unsanctioned league, if it's not an approved ball.

Shouldn't it have a number on it if it's a USBC ball ?

Can you post a picture? We've never heard of this and would like to help you find some more info!

I'm betting it's an Asian ball.

Agreed. I noticed when watching the team world Championships that the Korean team was always throwing something that I had never heard of.

Here's a couple pics of the ball and its box. I can't see a pin on it, and I'm not sure what the cover stock is. I'd say it was "harder" than my reactive or my wife's plastic, if that makes sense.

(Sorry, my uploads fail for some reason)

The best way to post pictures on messages boards is to get a free photo sharing site like photobucket.com. Upload the picture there and then copy the IMG code and paste into the message like this.
