Why stop when you've found a good thing? Ebonite has been on a roll with its FUN BALL™ series and when the idea for the Zebra IV™ ball came about, the consensus was to roll with it. Bowlers who want to keep the fun striking on the lanes are going wild for this latest Zebra. Production of the new Zebra IV began December 1 and many have said that this is the brightest Zebra yet. It was designed with the intention to turn heads coming out of the bag, and for the way-cool, black light conditions of cosmic bowling. Even better, shoppers will find the Zebra IV will cost them less than a C-note. In fact, this Zebra is about $20 less than earlier models. Like its predecessors, there will be a limited number produced. Hip bowlers are already on the hunt for the Zebra IV.

I bought this ball for strictly shooting at ten pins. I tried to get a pro shop to drill this ball so that when I threw my hook the stripes would rotate in the same direction, but it was impossible to do so he drilled it straight over the lable. When I throw this ball perfectly with no hook over the center arrow while standing far left, all the stripes rotate toward the pin. It is very neat to watch this ball roll. This ball for me is strictly for shooting ten pins, or unless I am having a bad night then I will throw a slight hook with it.<

Looks great out of the box, After it got worn in a bit, I was scoring great and the ball was a joy to roll. Impossible to hook until you scratch up the surface, This ball is so incredibly soft. Less than 3 months old and it shattered around the finger holes and has multiple deep scratches from ball returns. I throw a high RPM on the ball and it hooks pretty well, even if its not made to. Great spare ball if thats what your looking for. If you buy this ball, make sure you get it for cheep and don't over use it or you will be sorry paying to have it repaired. Can't get much cooler looking going down the lane though!
