Warning! -- When drilling this ball, because the Top and Side Caps have approximately the same strength, Drilling out a large portion of the top cap and not much of the side cap can cause the side cap to overpower the remainder of the top cap.  The result is similar to drilling a ball with the flip cap down by your thumb and may result in a different bowtie flare position or possible "back flare"- and rolling over the holes.  To help High Track players avoid this, be sure not to kick the Mass Bias too far to the right (opposite for lefties).  Keeping the MB at or within 1" to the left of the thumb and keeping the finger holes away from the flip pin will remove some of the side cap strength and retain the top cap.  This will result in more normal flare patterns.   

     This ball is a very low flaring ball so caution has to be taken when drilling.  If the ball rolls over the holes, it won't flare away from the holes after a rotations like most balls.  With the controlled reaction that is designed into this ball, good and safe results can be obtained with a standard label-leverage drilling.  (1:30 layout or 4 x 6, etc.  - pin to the right of fingers an inch or so and MB to the left of thumb)

           The Green/Blue Centaur utilizes a modified version of the DC core design, and a new Green and Blue solid reactive coverstock.

*** This is a modified version - not the original DC core. The bottom cap was removed, the densities changed and a wrap placed around the inner portion. The result is a very low differential core producing low flare (usually 2" or less). The core produces a much more even and mild controlled reaction compared to the original DC weight block. ***


..... the Green/Blue CENTAUR:

     The Green/Blue CENTAUR was designed to easily get through the heads, start revving up in the midlane, and make a controllable and predictable backend move.  This ball is a must for
