There are times when people need to break away from the norm. Be different. Be original. With the Zebra™, Ebonite gave bowlers an opportunity to do just that.
In November 1998, the Zebra was unveiled and immediately received an unprecedented response. All 2,200 produced sold out from the factory, making the demand for the first-ever Fun Ball™ surpass all predictions.
What most Zebra buyers like best is the reaction of teammates and the competition when they hit the lanes and pull out a ball unlike any of the rest.
Strangely enough, its good looks aren’t its only appealing feature. The ball rolls so straight that it has quickly become a favorite spare ball for league bowlers as well as pros on tour.
