    Overall I like this ball, not enough to give it ten pins, but I like this ball, I probably sold a couple of cases of the ebonite jungle green predator. I dont see any ball out there like it. It makes a different motion that is condusive to 4 pins and 10 pins. Must be the block or the shell. Either way you will get a look that you don't have in your bag right now. I gave mine away due to I do not see enough oil to support the reaction it needs. If you want a cheap oil ball, look into finding one os these rocks.

    Great length, with a realy hard snap in the back. I love the fact that you can play just about any line with this ball if you just move your hand a little bit. Fantastic ball for the money. Goes just a little long for my taste, but it is my fault. I should have gotten a different drill layout. And the fact that i only baugh one of them. I like to play this ball accross the 15 into the 7 and watch the huge snap back into the pocket. if you think you want this ball trust me you do.

    I got this ball on the cheap off of ebay,WOW what a GREAT value this ball is even at retail price .Drilled 3 3/8 x3 3/8 w/weight hole on my val 1/1/2" below pap(#2 on the drill sheet) I can't believe the way this thing flares and awesome hitting power.Messengers,wallshots the likes which I have never seen with my "old" reactives.Do ALL(midpriced)particle balls perform like this one???I would sum this ball up in one phrase"You get out of it what you put into it and then some."GREAT JOB BY EBONITE!!!!!!!

    2-3 inch pin. Drilled pin under and right of ring finger, cg far right out of palm. Very good ball for the price. Very smooth, had a little trouble clearing the heads if the lanes get much drier then medium oil or so, typical of particle though. Very versatile in the fact that it has many drilling options. You can drill the ball to give anything from a long smoooooooth arc, to fairly good lenth and a hard arc/snap to the pocket. For me the ball starts to roll midlane then really picks up and gives a good punch to the pocket with one last little burst of energy. High performance for a low price, you cant beat it.

    Had my Perfict Fit Pro shop guy Joe Farley stack drill this ball, pin to right of ring finger. If you want to leave it dull perfect for the heavy oil. I polished mine because i usually bowl on medium oil. Let me tell you about this ball. It is a true sleeper out there. Not expensive, and is a beast!!! A must have ball for anyone. Compliments my savage flip. Ebonite has changed me over from storm to their products. Anyone out there try one, then you will be a believer too. This ball hits so strong, other bowlers were asking me what is it?? And how much?No one believes under 100 bucks. It has gold sparkle flakes in the green, particle ball. Threw a 210,235,255 first three practice games with it.

    I will admit I got a great deal on the ball and was some what sceptical at first (by nature). From the first game I rolled with it I knew I had something special. Everyone has done this if they have bowled in competition. Some things just go together like peanut butter and jelly. This ball and the drilling cover a wide range of oil patterns for me. The JGPredator really keeps the pins on the deck and facillitates carry like none other I have used recently. I am planning to purchase a couple more of them and drill them differently in order to complete my arsenal. I am presently carrying a 214 avg on a house shot with it. My high series is 824(288,257,279) and have rolled 4 279's and one 300 with it. Taking it on the road in March and will post a followup then...Later Phish<><

    drilled this one 2.3/4 x 3, with slight neg static. Pleasently suprised with this ball, it doesn't do anything dramaticly, but that's the point. It does what you do to it. Very consistant reaction, maybe a slight over to the dry, but you can't get away from that with 'reactives'. (has a lite partical load) For the money, this ball is a great value. I think it is better than alot of those high priced, make the manufacture rich, balls. If your looking for that in-between ball, this is a good choice. My MED rev's, tilt, axis, speed, is a good match to this ball on any med condition.

    i would recommend this ball to anyone, great price and a hard hitting ball that can be used on meduim to heavy oil depending ont eh player or the drilling pattern! Mine was drilled stack to be used as a heavy oil ball and it didnt dissapoint. Right out of the box i scored awsome with it. The balls gives you the confidence to play differnt lines and angels so you can score big time! Plus it wont break your pocket book! so if you ooking for a great ball for eitehr medium or oily lanes this is the ball to go with cause it works and it doesnt take all your cash! Way to go Ebonite!

    good ball for the money... can find them online cheap and since it is a good particle ball for the price you can get a few and play with diffferant drillings to see what werks for you and to learn from. for the money this ball seems so very close to the apex series that i throw and have become acustomed to. this was the first mid-line ball that i purchased and although only threw it for a short while.(span was too short) (ball driller FIRED!!!) it did everything i asked it too. threw outside angle always came back. threw inside track area and slid on oil long enough to stay in the pocket, it was very versitile and allowed me plenty of room for error.

    Very solid ball. The best ebonite ball i own. I love it for oil. I even throw it on dry lanes because it will roll out but still hit very strong. The ball is all around versatile. The best ball for heavy oil for crankers. Very strong backend reaction. Occasionally u will leave the back row but if u let up a lil bit u will carry the world pretty much. I shot 20 in a row and 789 with it. Its my next favorite ball under my VooDoo. I recommend this ball for any cranker who has trouble with oil.<scri

    I puchased this ball on account of replacing my Ebonite Matrix TPS 3, i wanted something heavier and something that would do about the same thing. Well, i got what i was looking for. I used the Drill pattern Number 3 which is basically a rev leverage set up. It gets great mid lane traction and on longer oil patterns the backend is phenominal. The ball has great recovery and it keeps driving. Doesnt hit like a 5 yr old lil girl like one of my buddies put about his Swamp Monster. This ball hits like a semi running into Bambi along side the road. If your looking for a inexpensive ball with great reaction in heavier amounts of oil then this is the ball for you.
