    Man this ball lasts so long. I must have bowled over 200 games on it and it still hooks and hits reasonably hard. Shot my highest score ever in league with a 275 on my fourth game. This ball also works from any type of angle inside or outside. If thrown well it's usually ten in the pit. fsdf sd fsd fsd fsd f sdf sdf sd fsd fsd fsdf sfdsfs fs fsd fsd fsd fsd fsd fsd fsd fsd f sdf s fsd fsdf sdf sd fsd fsd fsd f sdf sdf sd fsd fsd fsd f sd <

    I think this might be one of the most impressive balls i have ever seen...in my two years of bowling i have never seen a ball that has impressed me this much. I have bowled over 500 games on this ball and it still reacts the same as the day I bought it. This ball hits with amazing power and is very forgiving. For some reason, it seems to have a more even reaction on synthetic lanes, but it just might be me. Not sure of the layout, but the pin is below the ring finger (righty). I highly recommend this ball to anyone, from beginner up to highly advance, a stroker to a cranker, this is a great ball.

    Overall, I really like this ball, however I am not seeing the results of some people with reviews on here. I am still new with the ball (about 2 weeks) so I am looking forward to learning the ball a little more and getting great results. Again this review should not reflect badly on the ball, I'm sure its the user. The ball is great!!!!!! I got a 16 lb ball and am now wondering if I should have gone with a 15 or 15.5 instead. I must say that I've never seen a ball that hits this hard and keeps the pins so low. I am now considering getting a "Big One" to go with my OverTime. I'll update after a few more weeks. Okay, I just went out last night and shot a scratch 649 with it, so I believe I have found my roll on this ball. I am still amazed at how hard this ball hits!!!! I am VERY pleased with the ball now that I have figured out what I'm doing on the "user" end. =)

    Used at USBC for all 9 games and had some of my best games ever there. I used it on the outside line for the 3 games of team event. Then I used it from the third, fourth, and fifth arrows during doubles and singles. If I could have made spares, I would have shot 1900. I had games of 236, 207, and 227 three of my last four games. The ball is very strong rolling, so when the lanes started to break down, I had to take some hand out of it. I recommend this ball for all medium conditions, especially at the USBC.

    Great ball, rolls smooth. I did have to get it tamed down just a little bit. I have combined this ball with a Black Ice and I have no need for any other ball. Aside from the possibility of me purchasing "The One" here shortly. This ball is great on league shots, that aren't overly dry, but with my Black Ice I can keep everything rolling good all night long. Great ball, it rolls well on the backend, and it hits like a freight train. If you want a ball for a league shot this ball is the one for you.

    Most people sleep on the "Overtime" because it's around the same time the one came out. I really wish ebonite didn't release those two together because the overtime would have made a killer in sales, but everyone wants "the one" so all those who have the overtime can relate and say this is one HECKUVA ball. It reads the midlanes great and it arcs back but for some reason i have been overrevving it and it seems to snap hard in the back. It's pretty cool to see the colors snap like that. :-) And that's all i have to say about that. Too bad ebonite won't advertise this ball more but oww well.<sc

    I wanted a ball to roll similar to my apex adrenaline with more recovery when needed i was thinking about the big time pearl but Im glad I waited for the overtime. This ball rolls almost the same as my adrenaline but gives me room to the right with carry. The overtime rolls very smooth but still hits strong. The ball also seems to play different areas of the lane with ease dosent seem to favor a particular angle or line ,hand or speed adjustment is all I have needed to find the part of the lane that is scoring. If you liked one of the apex balls try this one cant beat it for the price.<scri

    I chose this ball over the Big Time Sanded when I heard it was just as strong but had better length. Drilled it with the pin just above my ring finger and the cg kicked out. Out of the box the ball was so strong in the mid lane that I had to apply a light coat of polish to get it down the lane to read the backend. When I polished it, it gave me great length and a very controlled backend reaction. The ball hits and ton and drives through the pin deck. Awesome carry with this ball just shreds the rack. Just tonight I shot a 741 only my 4th set with the ball. As of now no complaints just waiting to see how long before it dies. Hopefully that will be awhile.
