Ebonite Tornado Black/Red/Orange Bowling Ball

I bought this ball as a light oil ball as I currently bowl 2nd shift at my house and the heads are usually fried when we get there. This ball is tough to rate as it tends to be very inconsistent. It gets squirty and leaves a lot of 10s unless you really come in high flush, especially when it encounters carrydown. This ball works best for someone who plays a very conservative straight line on fresher conditions. It does get some good backend for a low price point. Make sure you keep the surface dry every shot or you will get no action. If you try and swing it a bit, sometimes itll bite back hard and devastate the pocket and other times it will wash out. Too inconsistent with high revs.

Very pleased with this ball. It has served me very well, got me up from a 90 to a 135 average, but am moving on to a new ball with fingertips. Also, I threw this one with a hook on a conventional grip, but still got amazing hook. Sometimes too much hook even while I'm outside the whole dot set on the approach, throwing it out to the second arrow. It also creates a surprisingly heavy hit on the pins and drives through like a truck when you hit the pocket. It rarely gets deflected. Great on light oil conditions. However, this is one of the most versitile balls I've ever bowled with. I can stand anywhere on the approach in medium oil conditions, and works fantastic on every condition, except for dead dry conditions, with the correct adjustments. But, changing the revolutions I put on the ball is always needed. This ball does leave a lot of 10 pins and seven pins, but have only ended with both of them once. Aslo when used on the heavier oil conditions you have to have your rag ready

Should have just bought a Poly ball instead of wasting my money on this ball. Actually the ball is only as bad as the bowler so I cant blame the ball fully but I throw the same way with all my other balls and my results are very good. I dont know why I got suckered into purchasing this ball but, it is good for picking up 7 and 10 pins by slapping the pins itll scoot them over across the lane. All in all it is an entry level ball so I cant complain too much as I am the one who bought it, when I should had reviewed it on this site.

This is the ball I use when I go open bowling and the lanes are really broken down. However, there are times when I wish I had the Tornado Warning. But the good news is, this ball works great for broken down conditions in leagues and tournaments. It's easy to get the ball in the pocket when the lanes are broken down in a league but it's difficult to get any carry. I would not buy this ball unless you have at least a 3 ball arsenal. Find a better ball if you plan to use this as your primary ball unless you are beginning to learn how to hook the ball.

This ball is amazing for a "beginner ball" I dont even consider it a beginner ball..once i sanded it, this hooked super nice as it hit the backend. Pins went BOOM each time i got into the pocket. I threw it with an average speed with about 15 revs..threw it at the third arrow, and it gave me that "U" curve...i didnt think this ball could give me that type of reaction..I never tried it out in a heavy oiled lane..It gave me great reaction in the medium and light oiled lanes...the coverstock picked that iol up and released that energy very nice...very predictable ball as well as controllable. Threw it on both synthetic and wood lanes. great ball for the price..i would say its a steal.
