Ebonite 8 Ball Bowling Ball

Excellent ball for the money, and it looks cool. This ball was the ultimate fun ball. It not only looked cool but a bowler could bring it out in real competition and do more than shoot ten pins. I found that I could get this ball to go from a smooth arc to a skid snap just by changing my hand position. This allowed me to play any part of the lane from the 5 board all the way into the 25 board which is as far as I can get left. The carry was decent outside but it had the best hitting power left of the 3rd arrow. The farter left I could get and still get the ball to snap the better the carry was. I absolutely loved pulling this out around game 7 or 8 of a tournament and playing a tight line to the pocket from the 3rd or 4th arrow. Would still be throwing it if the bridge hadn't cracked out.

This is a cool ball. I like how it looks, especially since I enjoy pool. Overall it's a good ball. I used it only for a spare ball and it stayed on course most of the time. I still have the ball today, and use it a descent amount of time. This ball is pretty rare, and I like that I have it, I like that because you can't find them anywhere now. I would definitively recommend this ball if you could find it. Oh, by the way... plug in the link in my "likes" box. It's a really cool mafia RPG game. Check it out!!

I BOUGHT THIS BALL WHEN I WAS ABOUT 12 AND I STILL HAVE AND USE IT!! I RECENTLY JUST BOUGHT A STORM DIABLO TO BECOME MY NEW STRIKE BALL DUE TO THE FACT THE 8 BALL WOULD NOT HOOK LIKE I WANTED TO ON THE ALLEY I FREQUENT. WHEN I GOT THE DIABLO I GOT SOME BALL CLEANER ALONG WITHIN IT FROM THE PROSHOP. I USED IT ON THE 8 BALL. WOW DID THAT REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE IT STILL DOESN'T HOOK AS MUCH AS THE DIABLO AND HAVE AS MUCH BACK END BUT I BELIEVE IT IS HOOKING LIKE IT DID WHEN I BOUGHT IT NEW!! THIS BALL PERFORMS GREAT AND I STILL HAVE IT IN MY BALL BAG USING IT AS A BALL FOR LOWER TO MEDIUM OIL WHEN MY DIABLO OVERHOOKS. IF THIS BALL WAS STILL FOR SALE I WOULD DEFINITLY RECCOMMEND GETTING IT AS IT IS A RELIABLE BALL. THAT WONT LET YOU DOWN!!

This ball was a medium priced ball that had a perfomance rating like diamond tooled equipment. I had games of 300 and 299 with it in the same bowling season. When the lane oil dries you had better be on top of what the ball was doing and telling you what it was doing, and you had also better be flexible to know what adjustments you can make with the ball for the condition. You also need to know when to put this one back in the bag. This ball was a very predictable ball in the Ebonite line in it's day.

I just bought this ball very cheap from a sporting goods store. The ball is great for the money. The 8-ball is a good ball for medium oil conditions. It will get down the lane great, and save its energy for the backend of the lane. Once the ball flares onto the 8 bal side it carries right through the pins. It did over react sometimes but thats expected when synthetics are dry on the outside. Overall a great medium oil ball, that will perform well on most lane conditions. I find this ball hooks enough to out hook some new stuff.
