Post by: SVstar34 on July 25, 2017, 10:25:38 AM: I'm curious about the Affinity and Logix.

Logix is going in the Cyborg category so I wonder if it's a new core

And the Affinity is going with the Phenoms, it'd be interesting if they went with something a little lower in diff for that line

Post by: SVstar34 on July 27, 2017, 11:30:37 AM: The Verdict is now on the Ebonite website and hammer just announced the Widow Gold on Facebook. Buddies shows the Widow Gold with the normal Semtex Pearl cover as used on the Phobia.

Release date for both is 8/8

Logix is the legion core. Looks to be a pearl finish unknown surface prep.

Way cleaner than the Maverick Pearl and gets off the spot very hard down lane. A lot of guys were surprised how far left they could get in the oil and still have it tip and hook.

Post by: SVstar34 on August 01, 2017, 07:37:14 PM: It looks like the Saber and Mako Attack are set for 8/22. Lit, Affinity, and Logix on 9/5.

I'd expect info on the Saber and Mako this week. I don't think they'd wait longer to reveal info

Post by: JS on August 02, 2017, 02:23:24 PM: I'm not sure I understand Ebonite's marketing plan. One of the leagues I bowl in is a competitive one with 40 teams consisting of a five man roster. We start on August 24th. With Ebonite releasing balls on 8/22 and 9/5 they have missed the window for this 200 person league as well as other leagues around the country that will start before these release dates. I thought Bowl Expo was the showcase for new equipment prior to the upcoming season?
