Shock was developed to handle medium to heavy oil with ease, relying on its smooth finished UFD (Ultimate Friction in Dry) coverstock. Polish this beauty up and it'll perform well when the heads break down and that heavy oil pushes down the lane.
THIS BALL IS AN X BLEM FROM COLUMBIA. COLUMBIA RELEASES THEIR HIGH PERFORMANCE BALLS UNDER THE X-BLEM LABEL WHEN SMALL NON-PERFORMANCE ISSUES OCCUR. THE CORE AND COVERSTOCK COMBINATIONS ON THIS BALL ARE IDENTICAL TO THE FIRST LINE BALL. A BALL IS LABELED AN X-BLEM FOR ANY ONE OF THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
-COLOR PIGMENTATION
-SMALL PITTING CAUSED BY AIR BUBBLES
-UNIQUE PIN PLACEMENT, TOP WEIGHT, OR BOMB LOCATION
-LABELS ARE ENGRAVED IN UNUSUAL PLACES
-SWIRL PATTERNS OF THE BALL ARE NOT CONSISTANT
THESE DIFFERENCES DO NOT EFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE BALL OR THE ABILITY TO DRILL THE BALL. THEREFORE ALLOWING BOWLERS TO PURCHASE COLUMBIA'S TOP OF THE LINE EQUIPMENT AT A FRACTION OF THE COST.
