Scoring one of the biggest hits in bowling, The One shook the industry to the core. With the release of the Big One and the Infinite One, the success story continues. Reaction Designed to be longer than the Big One, with increased backend ball reaction.

    Best Oil Ball I've ever owned. Really powerful flip to the pocket. Very forgiving ball with strong, controlled roll. Good midlane read. During house shot league, I should probably switch balls in the 3rd game as I'm way left by then. In PBA Sport League I can usually play the 10 board out to 4 or 5 and the ball will flip hard to the pocket and crush the rack. Moved inside on Shark Pattern 15-to-8 and ball was great. Too much ball to use on 35ft , 37ft patterns. Ball starts moving too early. Layout: PAP is 4 1/2 over with no up/down. Pin placed 3 3/8 from PAP MB in strong position right of thumb at 45deg below thumbhole midline. Balance Hole required.

    I'm not going to explain my layout in the terms you may understand so bare with me. I have been bowling for only 5 years or so. 4" pin 1" above ring fingermass bias 4oclock of thumb with hole drilled in to make er legal. I believe this is the most agressive drill. I can swing it out to 5 and it will come screaming back to the pocket. I dropped it once and thought it was going in the ditch, it came back after I gave up on it. Very good pin action with this ball. I am sold on Ebonite! Great Ball if you want an agressive ball for heavy oil. WILL not like it on DRY but thats not its intent.

    I bought this ball last friday before my league. Got to league, dry pattern, no dice. Went to a older house shot 222 out of the box. Went home cleaned it up. Got ready for my tournament the next morning. Shot 207 on scorpion pattern. Not bad for a 150 avger, with 190 avg tendencys. On dry you can suitcase the ball. Or get dry lane ball. Hard hitter. The One's little, yet sublter brother. Could be said as the One's close cousin. A A A A A A A A A A A A A AA A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A AA A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A AA A A A A

    I have been bowling for about 8 years but only got really serious until about a year ago. I have tried 3 or 4 balls, (Storm, Hammer), and have found a great ball in the Infinite One. I have a 176 average and with my first 2 games bowling the One, I bowled a 214 and a 227. Both games had an open frame. If I didn't strike, I left only 1 pin. I am a stroker and have had some problems getting the ball to cut into the pocket. Not with the Infinite One. If I get another ball, it will be from the One series!

    im very close to getting a 300 with this ball, about two weeks ago i had 9 in row and choked on the 10th frame i could only blame myself since i ddnt release the ball right shot a 274. Last night i shot a 256, had 8 in row and choked on the last two frames i would like to buy another InfiniteOne or the AngularOne since this ball is drilled kind of weird its a cross between drilling instructions 1 thru 3. the pin is above the fingers, has weight hole of drilling #2 and the pin, cg, and mb are lined up like drilling #3. this ball hits great tho

    The Infinite One is a powerful ball that accentuates the positives in your game and bails you out from the occasional bad shot. Had so-so results with this ball first part of season until making big move left and matching the ball with my style instead of forcing my style on the ball. Only leave 2 or fewer ten pins a night although have had a few 9 pins kill me-have to expect them though. Since making move have had front 11 twice, back eleven once, and lowest series in past 6 weeks-664-Highest 787(My fault, shoud have been an eight). People can't expect to stand in the same spot week after week and score well-bowling is about adjustments not only week to week but sometimes shot to shot. All in all a fantastic ball with tremendous power.<scr

    For those bowling on synthetic lanes, You will love this ball. very strong on the back end and hits a ton. I Wet sanded mine with 2000 grit then polished and it still was hooking harder on the back in heavy oil than anything I have thrown. I played down and in, over ten and slid out to 5, the first two games (220 and 246) then moved over the 15 and slid out to 6-7 for the last game (269). the ball impressed me. On wood I would not recommend the ball as much. even polished on a standard house shot I had trouble staying right of the head pin. but maybe with somemore tweaking of the cover it will prove to be awesome on wood too.

    Okay. this ball i got drilled very strong and i went bowling with it and on a medium- heavy shot it rolled out at about 30 feet. so i polished it . and the second game with it polished was a 279 so i thought that was a good thing. and i was right, ever since i polished it, it has been rolling great. i can still use it on heavy oil because it still has a ton of back end to get it back and i can use it on medium patterns because it dosnt roll too early. Latley whenever i throw it it tends to open up a lot of room it is a great ball. hey Ryan if you r reading this the one series is not over rated

    keep up the good work . can't wait to get the ANGULAR ONE. this ball is in line with the other ONE series but with lots of back end . verry versital can play all over the lanes . down and in and swing the ball .great for strokers looking for something on the back end. WARNING this ball needs oil if the shot breaks down go to something else or get the ball polished for the following week or try to go deep if possible.would strongly recomend this ball for players that are looking for that extra back end.or for strokers that want to play some angles on oil.

    it's a very good ball for someone looking for a heavy oil reactive ball that has a lot of backend. it's not as good on drier lanes though, mainly heavy oil. i bowled my first sanction 300 with this ball last summer at jr. gold and was playing inside around the 30th or 35th board over 15. when i bowled my 300 the ball was only 5 days old and was an out of the box finish, but now i polished it because i found it was hooking too much on the lanes in my home town. i'm usually a brunswick guy but i could make an exception for the infinite one!<scr

    What a complete disappointment!!! I have had ebonite products b4 but never again.I feel like Ebonite owes me an apology for such an overhyped product.I only recommend this ball if you roll this ball slowww with lotsss of fingers.I have followed this site for a long time and never felt compeled to post,bought lots of different balls in30 years and never had a more disappointing product. on the post it asks you for the line you shoot, i stand 3 boards left of center(preferrably,but i do adjust)and shoot the 7 board.hope this gives another perspective.

    This ball does not hook on oiled/wood lanes. Our center has no backend! I thought this ball would give me the backend I was looking for. The ball will hook out of the box but after only a few shots it stops hooking. As soon as the ball get some track oil it just makes a weak move. I'm sure on synthetic lanes with alot of backend it would do much better. I did manage to square the pocket with it but I just left 10 pins galore. I have never been so dissapointed with a ball out of the box like this one. I tried changing the layout but the ball just did the same thing. I smacked the pocket in practice then it just rolled like a wet marshmello. This ball will be on ebay by this afternoon. Maybe someone else will like it. Just so you understand I took out my Doom Raw and I immediately started to cover backend boards and shoot over 200. I gave IO 21 full games and it just never impressed me. If your going to choose a ball for oil you might want to consider another company.

    I loved this ball, like I said I was bowling in this tournament, I'm a power cranker and I'm not overly great at changing my line, I've been bowling a brunswick smoking inferno for 2 years as my main strike ball, but it's pretty much died on me. I've been tracked throwing 600 rev/min on a shot but my smoking inferno wouldn't hook enough for my normal line, I was throwing first arrow sometimes, so I bought this ball and on heavy oil it is amazing. Also, it's got a pretty nice colour about it, due to it being one of the "one" series of bowling balls, all great balls in my opinion. However, as already mentioned, if you want to throw this on a medium house shots, be prepared to move say... oh, 3 LANES left, but in summary, a great ball for the right shot.

    Great Ball. I have scored the most 200 games with this. This ball carry is great. if you miss right or left it still carries and forgiving. Hit like a ton though it loves oil so dont even try this ball on heavy lanes it just hook right off the lanes. I have this ball drileld agreeively to hook early and it sure does hook. My first ball out of the bag in tounrments and leagues. So far i have shot good with this ball. One of the hardest hitting ball and most aggressive ball in my bad. A deffiently a keeper!

    Thank You Ebonite for another great ball!!! 10 out of 10 You can sand it with 500 grit Abralon to make the ball hook on oily lanes and you can polish it easily to make the ball go longer and make a strong turn on the backend. I like the color of the ball and the logo on it. It was between The One and The Infinite One but i saw a couple of guys with The One on tv and the ball was not seem to be hooking strong on the backend so i just came back to myy first idea and choose The Infinite One. The ball simply destroy the pins and leaves nothing (good carry). If you arre looking for a ball that goes long with alot of hook at the end ......INFINITE ONE!!!

    For a bowler just starting out this ball would probably be way to much but for a player that bowls in tourneys and is looking for a ball that will break no matter what condition is I would highly recommend this one. Just make sure whoever is drilling this ball really knows what they are doing I have heard some bad bad stories about drilling patterens with this ball. And for the ebay buyers out there if you are going to buy a top end ball then do yourself a favor and spend the 30 or 40 dollars at the pro shop and get a good pin placement.

    I just bought one. I think this is the One I've been waiting for. I had it drilled to go long and break hard and that's exactly what it does. I am not a big hook bowler, just your typical low rev stroker who usually throws the ball way too fast. Compared to my well used Warp Zone, this ball made me stand 4 more boards to the left, broke later and came back at least as strong. Nice strong hits too, even when rolled slowly. It seems quite forgiving so far. After I tried it out for about 8 frames they told me I was playing on a 38 foot edge to edge sport shot oil pattern. With this ball that seemed like just regular house oil pattern. It also worked fine on my "emergency line"; down and in from the 3rd board. I'm going to try it tomorrow on typical weekend open bowling conditions. I want to see how much it overhooks and if that can be overcome. I'm also a tiny bit concerned about these new super-absorbent balls; I have a hard enough time cleaning my regular ones. I hope this one doesn't b

    With the success of The One and Big One, all of us at the shop were eager to punch these up, I was the lucky one to do so. I didn't put an overly aggressive layout, I wanted to see what this ball had to offer. On the 41 ft sport shot, this ball was a monster. The outer part of the lane was flooded. I was able to stay in the track area, and have some room to the right with this ball, it almost made it seem like our house shot. On the house shot, which has an 80-90 unit flood in the middle, I was truly impressed. I have used balls that are supposed to be hook monsters, but only the Infinite One can conquer the middle. And if I sent it a little wide to the right, it came SCREAMING back, blowing the rack. I was truly impressed with the backend reaction being so strong, especially for a dull surfaced bowling ball. I am going to try it with some polish, and will update after I do so. I see this ball being a popular one for quite some time. Bowler's PAP: 4 3/4" over, no up/down

    Ok gang, I finally get to brag about a ball right out of the box. 1st game with it 280, and in the 2nd frame I used my SR300 to see the reaction, left 7 pin. Rest of the game all Infinite and all strikes. First two series with it were a 709 and a 729. I have the entire One line and all drilled according to their #1 layout. I have never had a ball react and be so forgiving right out of the box. I am an average speed and rev bowler around 205 average on a medium/heavy synthetic house shot. My normal shot with The One was to hit the targets at 10 and have the ball break around 7-8 at 40 feet. With the Big One I hit the targets at 12-13 and have it break at 8-10. And with the Infinite One I hit the targets around 15-14 and have it break at 8-10 at 40 feet. The Infinite has a very predicitable transition, nothing jerky. Just a nice smooth arch that hits the pocket very solid. I must say that this shot is very pretty to watch, never really said that before, but there it is. I will be

    I must say that Ebonite has done it again. There really on to something with the One Line..The infinite One is a remarkable ball. Like its brother The One, The infinite One gives good length . Its very predictable through the heads,and hooks very hard. Although I suggest using this ball on heavy oil patterns. Out the box The ball is great. I believe that the surface can be dulled depending on the lane condition, But I stress using this ball on the heavier patterns. If the condition is medium to dry, put the Infinite One away and use The One<scr

    I tested this ball at several different houses on many different shots. Just like THE ONE and THE BIG ONE I was able to play multiple angles while maintaining hitting power and drive. This ball comes off point quite a bit harded than THE BIG ONE which means there is a little more over/under but this is easily controllable by changing angle of attack by either making a move left or directing the ball further down lane to a later breakpoint. Overall another truly awesome addition to the ONE line. I certainly hope to see more on the way, maybe even a pearl ball?!?!
