The One

(92 reviews) Write a Review
Introducing THE ONE from Ebonite – the premier release in our new high performance series that pushes the entry angle to the extreme. Designed for medium to heavy oil patterns, the breakthrough GB-10.7 coverstock absorbs oil like a sponge, giving you more direct contact with the lane surface. As you exit the oil pattern, the cut to the pocket is razor sharp. Once you take it to the hole you’ll realize for yourself, this is THE ONE.

    <p>There&#039;s nothing bad to say about The One. I had alot of problems with it when I first bought the ball. It was great for a couple sets, then it would constantly roll out. I held off on writing a review because I knew the ball was great from those first sets. Put it on the ball spinner with the energizer plus white pad then polish and it&#039;s perfect again. The coverstock soaks up so much oil that if you have multiple people bowling on the lanes with it the shot just completely breaks down after 1-1/2 to 2 games. Can really notice when moving pairs in tourneys. Just don&#039;t let this ball get dirty. If you like it dull, cool, but keep that coverstock clean because that biotch gets oil logged and completely loses all of the reaction. Great ball, can&#039;t wait for the next one (pun intended)&lt;</p>

    Everyone should take a look at this ball. It's got a back end that just explodes. if you aren't carrying those light hits this is the ball for you . Everything carries. It's also fairly forgiving if you just happen to tug it a little. Ebonite you rule the kingdom! Party on with "The One"!!! This is the ball of the season! Just remember to trust it and it will come back from almost any where. Be sure to have your pro shop drill it to Ebonite's specs. Buy this ball now if you want to improve your game. You can thank me later!

    Being 52 years old, still have some stuff on the ball! I like to play more in the oil, most of my equipment was "OK", but not scoring like I should. After talking to my ball driller, he like his, so I borrow it. Right away this ball made it deep into the heads and I had a nice read to the pocket. First time I use a ball right out of the box - 647 - no opens. The other house has longer oil - a little more back ends, for over a half hour just threw strikes. They block the lanes and I always had trouble with my break point, not any more! Nice smooth reaction - Nice Job Ebonite! Hoping to have one of my team mates get one, she should do very well! Second night out: When the other players had nothing - I did! High game so far - 276 The last 36 hours - 647 -687 - 713

    I drilled this ball a week ago with the pin on track, therefore it was made to go long and snap at the back... and boy does it snap. i am a left handed bowler, therefore the side of the lane i play is usually untouched or fairly fresh. therefore i needed a ball that could consistently glide through the heads and once it hits the backend, make its move into the pocket. and this ball does everything. now this is always the first ball out of my bag wherever i bowl. really a great ball, get it while you still can..

    I bought this ball last week and just tried it in my league. I shot 750 scratch ,out of the box with this ball. Would have shot 300, but I will take a 279. This ball is really aggressive and the backend move is sick. I left one ten pin all night, carried high flush all night. The ball was in the pocket every shot for all 3 games. Carry is great, but I recommed using this ball on heavier oil. Dont be fooled by it's 4000 grit polish, it hooks! U can really send it as far as u like and it will scream back and hit with alot of punch. When this ball hits the dry is just flat out turns hard. Sends messengers all over the deck, and light hits even carry great. I was bowling on alot of oil last night, and this baby glided through the heads and just ripped the rack. I thought my triple X was aggressive, this blows it away. Go get "One" !

    It took me a minute to a get a good read on this ball and find the right hand position for me to get the reaction I needed, but after 4 or five games I'm giving this ball all the praise it deserves., I can now step in and play 20 to 10 or 15 to with confidence as my down and in line. Once the oil dries up this ball requires you to step on the gas if you decided to take down the factory finish a notch as I chose to do. So my plan is to purchase another one and keep it at the factory finish when the lanes oil breaks down. I just placed a review about my Inferno which has been an all out love affair since its purchase. I compared The one to a Ferrari so I'll consider my Inferno a Maserati. For now both balls is a must have. It will take some time for me to make a diffinitive decision on which one is the best overall. I can say this, The One is a great buy and you can tame it for your lane conditions and look like a star using it for sure. Lastly, ithe ball impressed me enough to b

    We received two of these balls to drill up. I laided these balls out for myself. The first bowling ball I used the Ebonite recommended 45 degree layout and the second was a 70 degree layout. The 70 degree layout needed a small weight hole to bring it back to legal. I tested this ball on a house in the factory finish. Our normal house shot has around 80 to 90 unit from 15 to 15, and blended out to the gutter. I found the ball to slide too far down the lane in the factory finish. I tested it on a couple of different shots in our house, including a 37 foot sport shot, and found the ball to not have enough surface for the Defense oil that I bowled on. After talking it over with our Ebonite sales rep, I went over the coverstock with a 1000 grit Abralon pad. The change made the biggest difference. I am not a believer of changing the factory finish, but this has changed my view. I was able to move way inside of where I was with the Factory Finish and still get the ball back

    get one, get 2, get a case. This ball is VERY DRILL SENSITIVE, so please follow the instructions before you plunge right in. I have my pin above the ring finger with a kicked out CG. I believe its their 45 degree drilling, but not too sure. When i first started it had great carry, but the carrydown on the lanes with the ball at factory caused too much over/under. used scotch brite on my last 3 flare lines and it held up for a little while longer. hit 3 more flare lines with the scotch brite and it cut through everything. I can see this ball being my go-to ball on a lot of conditions because when it is officially released, I am getting 3 more. Ebonite's R&D department really outdid themselves this time (Thank you Ed gallagher) with mkaing a ball that I believe can outperform the original apex and the V2 sanded which i believe were 2 of the best balls they ever came out with. Look for a lot of these at your league by December.
