Ebonite Magic, Bowling Ball Reaction Video

Ebonite continues to build on the popularity of The One series of bowling balls.  The new Ebonite The One Pearl adds a little extra muscle to the original “The One” from Ebonite.

So, what exactly makes the Ebonite The One Pearl stronger? By pearlizing the GB
10.7 coverstock, we’ve added even more power to The ONE, giving The Ebonite The One Pearl more length and an even sharper approach to the pins, resulting
in increased pin carry.

Ebonite just announce a new bowling ball release, Ebonite The One Pearl.

If you like the original (Ebonite The One - Original), then you will want the new version.  The original was a major success a few years ago.  I couldn’t walk into my league without seeing one on almost every rack in the bowling center.  I was jealous at the time because I felt like the only bowler without one.

Here are the specs for the Ebonite The One Pearl.

Take Ebonite The One - Original, add on some extra muscle and what do you get? Ebonite The One Pearl–a stronger, more aggressive version of The ONE.

So, what exactly makes The ONE Pearl stronger? By pearlizing the GB 10.7 coverstock, we’ve added even more power to The ONE, giving The ONE Pearl more length and an even sharper approach to the pins, resulting in increased pin carry.

The One Pearl

Our bowling team finally took 7 points last night by winning all 3 games on our Thursday Night Men’s League.

I personally made a big change in my approach last night which caused me to play much farther left than I am used to.  But it was a great change.  My bowling ball reaction was so much better than usually.  I was way more consistent and only threw a handful of awful shots.

I started out the first game with my Roto Grip Cell Pearl.  I felt like I was making nice shots, but with a couple of pulled splits, I ended the game with a score of 175.  Like normal, if I don’t like my bowling ball reaction, then I try a different ball in my fill shot of the 10th.

Brian Halstrom helped me choose which bowling ball to change to.  He said I should try the Ebonite NVD on the same line, but stay aggressive.  I did and CRACK, strike.

I stayed with the Ebonite NVD for the final two games, only moving two boards left throughout the games.  The second game I scored a 202, and finished the night with a 213.

Overall, I have to credit the change in my game to moving back about two feet on the approach.  This helped me increase my bowling ball’s speed, but it did more than that.  I believe that it really helped improve my timing, which gave me great ball reaction.

NVD

Well, I was all amped up for our first night of league. However it was closed because of Tropical Storm Fay. What an annoying little storm this is.

It has not effected me too much personally, beside knocking down part of my fence. But it just dumping a ton of water and flooding some parts of the state.

I guess I will have to wait until next Thursday to write about the Ebonite NVD.

Do you want to be envied? (I know, a silly pun)

I just received an Ebonite NVD to drill up for use. I am going to test this bowling ball out on Thursday 8/21/2008. I will write up a review on this later this week.

I am looking forward to this ball that has a bowlingball.com perfect scale of 205.7. Here is the description.

Be NVD by all of your opponents!

The NVD has a new core design, Spike Core Version 1A which provides a lower RG, high flare potential and a stronger mass bias rating. Wrapping around Spike Core Version 1A is a stronger version of our Traxion Reactive cover, Traxion Reactive 0.48. This cover has kept the oil absorption rate at 10.1 (the GB #) while increasing the Traxion Factor to 0.48. This increase in the number will allow the NVD to produce a stronger ball in higher oil volume environments. This ball will give you a stronger motion when compared to the Complete NV. Comes out of the box at 4000 Grit Abralon.

DON’T HOPE FOR VICTORY…TAKE IT.
