Three words sum up the Apex Adrenaline: MONSTER HOME RUN. This is the best particle ball Ebonite has produced and will be compared with the best balls Ebonite has ever made. This ball clears the heads easily and is angular in the midlane when compared to any of the previous Ebonite particle balls. The coverstock is easy to adjust and this versatility will allow the Adrenaline to compare with many strong reactive resin balls. I have drilled two Adrenaline's one with the pin above the fingers 5 1/4 inches from my PAP with the Bomb in strong area one inch right of thumb and no balance hole. The second Adrenaline has the pin below ring finger at 4 1/2 inches from PAP with the Bomb one inch left of VAL and a balance hole 2 inches below PAP. The first layout is to delay the breakpoint for broken down track conditions with medium to heavy oil. The second layout allows the ball to read the lane quite a bit earlier for fresher heavy oil conditions. The Apex Adrenaline revs up strong in the midlane and hooks and when shined WILL work on many longer broken down track conditions unless the heads have blown up. I have seen National Touring players in the PBA with titles PAY for this ball and the last time I saw that was with the first reactive resin ball (Excalibur). The Apex Adrenaline is a ball that I would recommend to anyone for medium to heavy oil.

Just Got this ball last week. I tried it a few times on dry conditions. No Luck. Finally got some oil and all I can say is AWESOME. Bowled a 269 the first game and then went on to bowl my first 300. Very pleased,Great Carry, just have to have some oil.

Got an Adrenaline this week, had been really
satisfied with the Dynasty and had been using
that and a Stinger 2-piece pearl almost exclusively.
The only thing I can really say about what I have seen
from the Adrenaline is - more - more length than the
original Apex, more backend than the Intensity and more
HIT than maybe anything I have ever thrown.
Oh yeah pro shop operators, you know when the guy walks
in and says "I want something that will hook as much as
my other stuff but all in the back-end"?
The Adrenaline will be what they mean.

layout was pin out 2 in. put above ring finger cg below ring finger and bombe straight down to right of thumb no weight hole..........very clean through the front part of the lane with a very strong roll on the back end with extremely powerful hit an excellent layout for medium to slick lanes for someone with a high rev rate

I have this ball drilled with a 6" pin from my axis point and on center of grip line from CG. The bomb is at 4:30. I've used this ball on my house shot with a lot of oil in the middle. I can hook the lane or take some of my hand out and play some what up the boards. This is a good ball for the house condition.

I have an Adrenaline drilled with the pin over my ring finger and the CG underneath and bumped towards the PAP about 1/2". Extra hole at 6" from centerline (small hole, deep). With the factory finish (1200) it rolled up in the midlane a bit too much killing the backend. I used some Ebonite Particle Polish and got the reaction I wanted to see. Lots of length through the front and midlane saving energy for the backend. This has a 'hockey stick' type motion and works great for me when playing inside 15. Hitting power is phenomenal. A must ball for anyone's arsenal. Try it.

A great ball to have! Just got mine last week... WOw... this ball works better than Matrix Trimax III. Bowled on wooden and syntactic lanes... this ball never let you down. Once reach the backend and if on the correct board, once it snap.... and phoom....... the pins will have alot of action and you will see... the messenger is working.

I just bought this ball two weeks ago and had it drilled with the number 2 drilling on the drill sheet included with the ball.I'm right handed,throw with slower to medium ball speed and get a good amount of turn on the ball.I tried the adrenaline the first week in out of the box condition and the ball was just to much.was playing the ball up the second arrow with a little swing to the gutter and the ball was coming in high.I decided to have it shined up to get it to go longer and tried it in this condition.I moved inside and played the third arrow out to about the first and this ball read the lane perfectly.When this ball made the turn it just crushed the pocket.started with 231,then 278,190 was getting the ball wide to early the third game.if you want a ball that carries like no other ball on the market this is the ball to have.If you have trouble with this ball just shine it and it should work for anyone.give this ball a 10.

I have used Columbia almost exclusively over the past few years. Loved the Ebo Bolt series urethanes in the late 80's, early 90's. Shot 300's with Firebolt, Thunderbolt and Tbolt Dual Block. The DB was my favorite. Still have a R^2 with plenty of punch still left. The Lion wasn't bad either. Lost faith in Ebo after the Omega series, but my faith has been restored. My buddy Lonce punched this up for me last Saturday. He had actually drilled one about a month ago, and shot 793 against me in league and kept telling me to get a shot. Layout 4 X 4 1/2 with factory finish. Well the drill bit hadn't cooled yet and there still may have been grease pencil on the ball. Threw a couple of practice shots in league I was subbing in and I was impressed, but was not ready for what I was about to see. Front 16 out the box before a solid 7-9 stopped this tweener righty. The nine got smacked out. Ended up with 737(300-203-234) for the nite on medium fresh condition with little carrydown. Came back in my Monday league with 763(269-247-247,) and front eight the first game. Left a 10 pin. Same house, just a little tighter up front. Same house again on Tuesday with nite and day pair that had a lot of open play. Started off slow, but ended up with 738(214-280-244.) The most impressive start I've ever had with a ball. This ball reads the midlane well and has plenty stored up for the back. Already talking to my buddy about how we're going to layout the next one. May even get a case or two because I don't think it can get much better than this. Stop tweakin' on the E and looking for a Response. Get a shot of ADRENALINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS BALL IS MY FAVOURITE IT GETS DOWN THE LANE WITHOUT GRIPPING TO MUCH ON MOST COMMON OIL PATTERNS THEN AT THE BACKEND IT SNAPS NICELY INTO THE POCKET IF YOU OVER REV OR MISS YOUR MARK SLIGHTLY IT RARELY GIVES YOU A BROOKIE AND YOU COULD END UP WITH A SPLIT THATS THE ONLY DOWN PART THE BEST COMBINATION FOR DRY OIL IS AN EMB XF OR OVER OILED LANE A MONSTER BRIMSTONE.

I got this ball in 16lbs, with a 2-3 inch pin out, 3 ounces of top weight. My drill pattern is a 4 by 5
layout. The CG is about mid-span with the mass bias (bomb) a little left of the thumb.
After drilling it has 1 ounce of side weight, 7/8 ounces of finger weight.
On the afternoon shot before oiling, I was standing 35 looking between fourth and fifth arrow, out to
10, and the ball came charging back. In other words, this ball needs oil.
On fresh longer oil, I threw the ball a little straighter and it didn't over react, nor over-under. The ball
had a nice hard arc on the longer oil, the perfect reaction I wanted on heavier oil.

This is a good ball,very clean thur the heads for a particle ball.With polish,the ball gets very good length and still sees the midlane and has a very strong arcing backend.I like it for medium to medium oily conditions.This ball is very driller friendly drill one in your favorite drill patterns.You will like it.

After buying this ball and having had the Intensity for awhile I am falling in love with Ebonite equipment. I bought this ball after having it strongly suggested against me getting it by my local pro shop operator. I had seen no one throw it except a few pros on TV, so i was very skeptical.

Man was I wrong. I do not have as much confidence with any other ball I have. There is nothing I have seen that is stronger on the backend than the Adrenaline. It hits harder than the Intensity with more drive. The Intensity had a different kind of hit and drive where pins flew everywhere, the Adrenaline blows them back and low.

I have not thrown a particle that clears the heads as easily as this ball and man when it turns it turns.

I used it in oil......not sending it to the dry and the middle had no backends and this ball still drove late..........

This ball is awesome....everyone should have a place for it in their bag.....

I also give this ball a 10, for the intended condition ofcourse.......

I drilled one with 5 inch pin above my fingers and the bomb a little right of my thumb.This ball gives me good skid through the front and a nice hard arc on the back.I used this at the pro stop in Las Vegas for all 22 games I bowled to make the round of 32.The ball hooked better than any thing I had and hit a ton.
The lanes were oily so a left it factory finish.I drilled another one rev lev
for high track player which I am (4inch pin 75 degree bomb 6 inch hole)and
shined it with ebonite extender polish and WOW talk about open up a lane on a house condition.I shot my best series ever 846 with a 300 2nd 300 with that ball
This is the hardest hitting most hooking ball I've ever thrown without losing
energy on the backend.I have drilled about 50 of them for my customers and there has been a lot of good response.Another great ball from ebonite

OMG----------I just recently decided to drop in weight to 15 lbs and was afraid that i would lose my hitting power----------WRONG----i actually gained more speed and this ball hits like it weighs 18 lbs.------i have yet to find a line i could not play with this wonderful ball-------shoot bowling next to me a gentleman w a 170 average shot his first 700 w it the second night he had it-------------the only down side i have seen is although i can hit the hole from anywhere it leaves a lot of 9's from extreme outside---other than that an 11 out of 10!!!-----go ebonite
