Thread: Mystery Ball

  1. #1

    Question 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 ?

    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.
