    Default Undefeated ball

    I can't find any information to speak of on the UNDEFEATED BALL. I am told that only a small number were produced? I am trying to find out properties like cover stock, ect..ect..ect. ,,,,, and what ball would be a CLOSE second to it in regards to reaction on the lanes. Any help would be appreciated!! My Undefeated was damaged last night, deep chunk taken out of the side! Just looking at it HURT me worse then the pain the ball must have been experiencing! Its damage was in the track area, and if it will need to be PUT TO Sleep, I think I will be able to handle it, with all you out there's help and prayers!! God help me,,,, I love that ball!!!! I might even have it Gold Plated, and set it on my fireplace mantle!!
    Question: What ball would be the closest to the UNDEFEATED, if I can't find another one?

    Well Ice, I happen to own one. I really like it. Know the pain you must feel to see your ball with big gouges

    Thanks, I broke down twice today! I know,,, it’s the 4th, and everyone is celebrating, but all I can think about is my BABY (undefeated). I just got back from a HOT motorcycle ride to the alley where the damage occurred. I had to just hold it for a while!! Its not quite as deep as I remember it Tuesday when it happened, I measured it at 3/32, and 2 ¾ long. The new local driller at the Vivion AMF, will be preforming the surgery. That ball gave me everything it had last night going up against the two best bowlers in our money league! It was the stuff you see in movies: ( 9th frame get a 10 pin, after none, the whole game with Undefeated II,,, ( I have two drilled a little different form one another), I then notice the large cut on its side,,, everyone gathered around and lots of OOOOOsssss , and O my Gods, ect.. ect.. I started to put it away thinking it had given me all it had, and now the wounded warrior need to be removed from the lanes….. I was half way to my bag,,,,,,, and I swear,,, I felt a twitch, in the hand that was holding the ball,,,, then another one,,,,, And it hit me,,,, it wanted to finish that game and win total pins for me! Looking at its gouge I thought,,, NO WAY! But if it gave me that strike, we would win total pins….. I felt a warm glow in my right hand upon putting my fingers into the ball! It was a very self-assuring moment as I gazed down the lane knowing that this was it… strike, 228 and we win total pins, and two games! My approach was good,,, I hit my mark,,,,, I could hear the sound of thump thump thump,,, all the way down,,, it came to the dry part of the lane and leaped into the pocket like it was NEW! STRIKE!!!!
    I was so proud of that ball! It created a moment in bowling I will never forget!! I hope that the repair dosen’t compromise its spirit!! Iceman

    My all-time favorite ball was a Hammer Big Rig Diesel. That ball went to the pocket for me like no other. One day I went to remove it from my bag and I saw it....the nice cover was split. I was so mad I carried it out the alley door and chucked it towards my truck. It bounced in the bed and through the back window (luckily it was open). That was about 5 years ago and with all the great balls out there, I still haven't found one that fit and worked as well for me as that ball

    I'm at a loss with a wonderful 16 lb sapphire blue Galaxie 300 bowling ball, the nicest piece of plastic i ever threw. Ever since I started with finger tips and the slug in the thumb hole, my conventional style skills have deteriorated. Now that poor ball just rots in the trunk. I miss it being in my arsenal for spare shooting, that balled rolled straight and true.

    I picked up my baby today,,, the UNDEFEATED! They did a great job fixing it. Hardly know where it was repaired,,,, matched the color ect. They hard to plug it, but its very hard tosee where it was damaged. Did not have time to bowl with it, but Trent, looked it over and said they did a nice job! I will bowl with tomorrow, with the new twist insert ready to be used! James did a great job of repair! Thanks James!!

    Color Red/Turquoise/Purple
    Coverstock XL1200
    Weight Block Centrex Symmetric Mass Bias
    Factory Finish Powerhouse Factory Polish
    Flare Potential High
    Radius of Gyration (RG) 15#-2.46
    Differential (Diff) 15#-0.056
    Intermediate Differential (MB) .027
    Description With a core and a coverstock from two Ebonite winners, how can you lose? UNdefeated....That's what you will be when you throw the ball that combines two of the best innovations from Ebonite! The UNdefeated utilizes the core of the One and Angular One with the cover of the original Mission. The Centrex Symmetrical Mass Bias core is one of the easiest revving cores in the bowling industry. With a mass bias strength of .027 it is very responsive to friction, which is a perfect match for the XL1200 Veneer coverstock. This high revving core wrapped in a cover that provides ample friction on the slickest of lane conditions will hook where you need it to....ON THE BACKEND!
    Still love the game but had to quit because of my left leg amptation
