Brunswick Galaxie

[bdpeters]

I hope this isn't a real stupid question that everyone should know. I have a Brunswick Galaxie ball from the mid 80's that I am using now until I can get a new one but I am confused about how to tell a plastic versus a urethane coversock apart? Can anyone tell me what type of coverstock the above mentioned ball has? I have not been able to find any information on this.

Hey bdpeters,

I tried to do some checking but didn't find much that would help. There was a ball on e-bay. it was identified as a Galaxie 300. I copied what it was advertised as but this information may not be correct.

thanks tumblebug. I think the info is correct. ebay was were i was looking but i did not see this one. I was fairly sure it was not plastic because I can hook it. since I am going to get a new ball the info here has been helpful to me.

There are not too many urethane balls on the market now, so you will probably end up with a reactive resin for your new ball which will hit better compared to plain urethane.

I appreciate the replies. I pretty much figured mty new ball would be a reactive resin type but boy there are alot of choices on the market.
