Champions Ultimate Weapon Wine Bowling Ball

i drilled mine with absolute zero leverage. the pin was 3 inches and i had it sanded with 400 grit. i could play a tad deeper than needed and created 5 boards of area. i averaged 230 for a whole season with this ball and had countless 300 games with it. i'll never get rid of this ball as long as it holds together. even resurfacing doesnt effect the carry of this ball. i am sold on urethane balls for league shot. it improves my average 20 pins over any reactive ball on the market. plus the oil doesnt disappear as your bowling. if anything, you may have to tighten up your line a few boards during the night. very easy to stay lined up all night with this ball

i have shot a lot of big games and series with this ball when no other ball could do the job. i always keep a champion urethane in my 3-ball bag. i drilled this ball absolute zero leverage, and it has been a truck for me. i dont leave the solid 8s or 9s with this ball. if i do leave a corner pin, its usually because of me not throwing it well. but i do get my share of weak hit strikes with it when i thought it shouldnt carry. plus you can line up light to the pocket and it rips the rack very nicely. i will definately grab another if i get a chance.

I was a big fan of Champion while they were still around and this ball was one of the reasons. This ball came out shortly around the time of the reactive revolution so it didn't get much fanfare. The ball was drilled straight up and down with a little side and finger weight. I got a decent amount of length considering it was a urethane ball with good backend moving beginning in the latter part of the midlane section. Carry was awesome with this ball. Like other Champion equipement it kept the pins low. Only dislikes were a lack of versatility, but just about everything was a one trick pony back then. You could throw this ball as long as you had some head oil. Otherwise leave it in the bag. I shot one of my first 600 series with this ball. I shot 120 something, pulled the Ultimate Weapon out, and went 250 and 240. I wish I could find one of these so bad.

(Added 03/10/03): Since I returned from Nationals (Feb 08-09) where after trying three other balls my only good game came with this ball (232), I've averaged 230 per game over my last seven 3-game series. This ball keeps the pins low on the deck which increases carry. I'm glad I kept it because I may be taking home a few hundred dollars from my city tournament. Now if I can only master that pesky seven pin! Original: This ball was overlooked because Del Ballard could not hang on to it when he needed one pin for a major tournament win. The weight block is like a Norm Duke Hammer and the coverstock is a urethane that was intended to heavier oil patterns, but the was years ago. Now this ball is meant for drier lanes and especially synthetics. I use a low Rg axis drilling and I get great control, but you must use a little hand to flip it. This is a great light oil/dry lane ball that is durable, controllable and powerful. If you have one and hate it, try a new drill pattern and let the
