JPF Black Axe Urethane Bowling Ball

I found this ball at one of our warehouses and I wondered what this old asymmetrical ball would do with today's asymmetrical layouts. I laid the ball out with the CG as the pin, because these balls only had a locator pin. I used the determinator to find the mass bias on this ball. I put the cg 5 inches from my PAP and the Mass Bias 4 1/2 inches from my PAP (Positive Axis Point). I went over this ball with 400 grit then polished the ball with 3m Rubbing Compound. I threw this ball on a house shot that is dry. The shot was extremely dry on the outside with heavier oil in the middle. I shot 660 for the night, but this was more of an experiment for me. I wanted to see what today's layout would do in an older ball. I am amazed at how good a ball this ball is with modern layouts. I have done this with a couple of other balls and all have rolled well. I think that past asymmetrical balls could be good with a modern reactive coverstock. I wish that more companies would bring back

I would love to see this core inside a Track Mutant, Angle Evolution, or Brunswick Ultimate Inferno Coverstock. Even with a Gemtec Urethane shell the ball has unreal hitting power but could really use a modern coverstock to insure the ball doesn't float past the breakpoint. Since JPF has passed away, I doubt we will be seeing any versions of this core brought back but I sure wish I had a particle resin or resin shell on one of them. Ebonite has come close to a version of the core with their TPC series and a new release for 2006 has a core which mimic's the Axe. Don't reinvent the wheel...just dig up an old one instead :-)
