The planet series has proven to be the best value performance line of bowling balls in the industry and the new Pluto is a welcome addition.
The Orbiter II core with its increased mass around the equator and lower differential provides smooth and controllable hook for a variety of bowlers on those medium oil patterns.
The Sure Grip II solid reactive coverstock has proven to be a staple in this line for both performance and durability.
X-Blems are seconds due to a cosmetic blemish similar to an X-Comp, but the specifications fall out of the 2-4" & 2-4 oz. range. There are a couple of areas that the ball would not meet some first quality manufacturing specifications (i.e. core chip or engraving error). X-Blems will have an X stamped by the serial number. The label on the box is stamped X-Blem and is marked with a small red number that denotes the specific issue.
NOTE: Due to the limited availability of X-Blems, X-Comps, X-Outs, and Seconds pin placement and top weight are not guaranteed.
