STRING KING specifications

AMF STRING KING is a revolutionary product designed for progressive bowlers who are keen on improving their game with high-quality equipment. Known for its unique combination of technology, performance, and durability, STRING KING stands out in the competitive market of bowling balls.

One of the most notable features of the AMF STRING KING is its advanced core design.
