current ball similiar to gamebreaker
« on: July 29, 2014, 09:27:17 PM »
What modern ball is similiar to the original ebonite gamebreaker?

I am thinking roto grip rumble. Both solid covers, rg 2.4/2.5, core shape close.

Any professional input would be helpful.

I have a pin down Endure with a weight hole 6 3/4 from the pin. With some added surface it is very close to the look and motion of the gamebreaker.  Pin down reduces the RG a bit to make it closer to the Game Breaker's and the weight hole adds some flare back into the ball.
375 RPM, 17-18 MPH, 45+ DEG AXIS ROTATION, 17 DEG TILT

Why not wait until Ebonite brings out their mid performance ball on Aug.19th?  I think I'd wait seems it might be a good one and rumour has it hs some qualities of the Gamebreaker.

It's been a while since I have seen so much buzz (up here) without anything concrete.

ebonite made a limited release of something called the cyclone GB. its the cyclone core with GB 10.7 solid on it (same as gamebreaker). it is specially made for Rich Jacobson's proshop in white plains, NY. http://www.richjacobsonbowling.com/index.html is the website if you want to check it out

How is this different than any other Cyclone?  GB 10.7 cover and same core?  Are you saying the regular Cyclone's are not solid GB 10.7 or?  Just wondering?

According to BTM and Bowlers Journal (spreadsheet and review) the 'regular' Cyclones are pearl versions of the cover. Fwiw.

But according to Ebonite, when the Cyclone first came out, all Cyclones are solids.
