Antique Bronze CENTAUR - AMB

Do NOT expect this ball to be a smooth, controlled arc motion like the Green/Blue Centaur. The high differential, large flare potential and heavy flip cap make this a skid/snap type reaction.

Finish: 1500 (Polished)
Hardness: 75-77
RG: Med (2.56")
Flare: High (.065" differential) 5-7"
Length (1-100): 66
Back end (1-100): 88
Hook (1-100): 63 (oil) - 86 (dry)
Avail. Wts: 13-16# (Centaur AMB core)
10-12# (on request - light wt. core)
Lane Conditions: Medium Conditions

To Layout the AMB properly, you must first mark the "Virtual Mass Bias" by drawing a line from the 1/4" locator pin on the backside, through the 1/2" Black flip pin around the ball. Mark an "x" 180 degrees from the AMB pin (13 1/2" from the AMB pin which puts the "x" 6 3/4" from the black pin. This Virtual Mass Bias point can then be treated using the same general rules that apply to other typical mass bias spots.

*** By using the AMB cap to create an Anti-Mass Bias (negative mass bias on the back side) it allows the ball to have a lower RG than the original DC core while maintaining a high differential. It also helps maintain more of the core dynamics for most drillings. In the case with most strong Mass bias balls, when drilling the thumb - you remove a large portion of the heavy core or cap used to create the bias, resulting in less of the core's original dynamics. BUT, with the AMB core, you drill into lighter coverstock and save almost all of the original core shape - retaining the true reaction originally designed by the core. ***

The Centaur-AMB uses a modified version of the Centaur core design, and a new Antique Bronze pearlized reactive coverstock.

*** This is a modified version - not the original Centaur core. The bottom arm was lengthened, the densities changed, the top flip cap was made heavier and the ultra-light "AMB" cap was created on the back side. The result is a very high differential core producing high flare (usually 5" or more). The core produces much more skid/snap and a lot more backend than the Green/Blue Centaur ***
