    Best strike ball that I have ever thrown. Got my highest game 2 years ago a 252. Since this ball is a old one I will be buying a new Nitro/R soon as there are some mighty deep gouges and chips in the ball but it still spins and does what it is supposed to do. If anyone know of a good place on line to buy this ball let me know will now need it in a 12 pound ball as I had a heart attack last year and it has now limited me to lifting 10 pounds or less but due to the fact that if I throw a 10 pound ball I will not get the reaction that I would need to make it do what it needs to do .

    The hitting power is amazing! Should have been a Hammer ball. Anyways the hook is not too much, but it is very controlable. Love this ball. Wondrful for an arsenal. That is all a have to say. HATE THIS 100 WORD MINIMUM. la la lal al al al la la la la la la la la la la lal la la ala la lala la la la la la la la lal al al al la la la al ala la al ala la alalala la l al la lala la la l al la l a la la la la la lal al al al lal al aa lal al al la la al

    this is the smoothest ball ever made by ebonite, or for that matter any company. it is so predictable it is rediculous. i would recommend to start to use this ball as soon as the lanes start to break down because it is so smooth. you can also move right and throw straighter and still score very well. this ball gets through the heads very clean and has a very smooth and controlible backend move. this ball is exactly like the original nitro reactive. if you are struggling or looking for a new ball this is the way to go.

    This is a great ball for the Ebonite Classic Series. The Nito R2 rolls very consistent down the lane with a smooth arching motion to the pocket. I was surprised with how well this ball handled in oil and carried on the backend of the lanes. The ball allowed me to play a variety of positions on the lanes. This ball allowed me to create some nice scores when throwing it. I had some games of 287,269,248,278,256. I didn't have trouble carrying the corner pins in three different houses. One house was Urethane,Synthetics, and wood, while the last house was using gaurdian surface. I had no problem on any of the conditions.
