Centaur - AMBTM    Line

Click here for CENTAUR-AMB drilling instructions

*** 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 backend than the Green/Blue Centaur ***

..... the CENTAUR-AMB line:

     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 Dual Blue CENTAUR-AMB (particle):

. ..Designed with the extreme oil patterns in mind, the Centaur-AMB Particle will chew through the oil like it's not even there. Using the high flaring AMB core design in combination with our new high load particle coverstock, this ball will hook when nothing else will. If you are in need of a heavy oil ball, than look no further. You will not find more raw power in a ball anywhere. The AMB Particle generates an extreme amount of traction on the lanes and therefore will roll sooner and not have the backend snap like the Bronze AMB. This ball is designed for oil, Oil, OIL !!

"This steel blue ball hooks a bunch, and oil won't be enough to stop it's punching power."
Mike Riggins - Bowlers Journal International

"This is one of the earliest rolling, and biggest hooking balls I have ever thrown. Bowlers who run into extremely heavy oils, or those with very little hand will love this ball."
Rich Hanson - Bowling This Month

..... the Pink/Blue CENTAUR-AMB (solid):

     The solid AMB will get through the heads much easier than the particle AMB while still handling oil due to the React-A-Tack cover and the high flaring core.  Although it won't handle nearly as heavy of oil as the Particle AMB, the Pink/Blue AMB solid provides a much stronger break on the backend. 

..... the Bronze CENTAUR-AMB (pearl):

     This variation of the AMB line gets down the lane further and easier than the AMB solid with a sharper break.  The pearlized reactive cover would normally make this a skid/snap ball but the core forces the ball into an earlier roll - resulting in a strong, sharp break but not a true skid/snap.  Usually pearls tend to squirt through the breakpoint when you get carrydown, but the Bronze AMB rolls sooner and recovers better than most pearl reactives.
