Another good one!!!

 I drilled mine a bit weaker (5.25" X 3.5") very predictable depending on your tilt, rev rate, and ball speed. If I tilt the ball it will corner hard. If I come up the back it is even rolling. Of course increased or decreased rev rates act accordingly. When I drilled it was a bit cleaner than what I expected, So I touched it with the 1000 abralon pad. It has been great ever since. This ball has definitely made the traveling team....

I was able to throw this ball at the Ebonite Demo Day here in Brookpark, Ohio back in the middle of December. You can check my profile for my specs, but just know that I have good speed and a lot of hand.

All of the balls at Demo Day were drilled with the pin under the ring finger and the cg stacked below.

My first impression of the Prime Time was length and versatile backend. I got to throw this ball on 2 lanes with different volumes of oil. One lane was oiled heavily in the middle, with some dry bump outside of 5, and not much dry on the backend. The other lane was pretty much burnt up from earlier play on it.

On the oil lane, the Prime Time skidded long, very long, before arcing to the hole. It wasn't tremendous in the oil, but the hit was decent, meaning I didn't see deflection or flat tens. It wasn't as hard as the Killer Instinct Sanded or the V2 Clean, but it did the job. Finding the dry bump gave the ball a snappier look to it and harder hit.

On the burnt lane, this ball gave me the most skid of any ball through the heads of everything I tried. However, with that skid came a hard snap on the backend. The hit on the burnt lane was much harder obviously. This ball was very similar to the V2 Clean for me, but the Prime Time gave me a more skid/snap look on the lane.

This ball for me would be tremendous on burnt heads. Its backend depends on the amount of oil you cross, but it does bite a little in good oil if you have hand. This was a straight out skid/flip ball for both crankers and straightees. The versatility of this ball increases if you have good hand, as it won't give good oil bite for strokers, but if you are looking for skid/flip in a mid price ball, this is a GREAT choice for you.

If you want the caveat on this ball BTM Mag has it pegged. The prime time has great length and is very clean through the heads but when it hits the dry it is all read.If I keep it in the oil it will not hook, but as soon as it gets a smell of dry it will turn the corner, plays alot straighter than I expected and that was a good surprise.I will reevaluate after I get it away from my home house and on a few other conditions. till then remember.

I set my Prime Time up, 3 1/4" pin 1 1/2" above grip midline stacked, weight  hole on pap.
 I was looking for midlane read between Pearl Savage and Killer Instinct. Once I sanded it with a 4000 Abralon pad I got what I was looking for. The Prime Time gets down the lane easy makes a strong arc type move and continues to the pocket. When it hits it keeps the pins low. From what I have seen you can achieve a hook shape from sharp to arc. This means versatility.
 I feel this ball is a sleeper for Ebonite. Like the V2 once the bowlers find out how good the Prime Time is they will all have one, or in my case have two

This has got to be one of the best balls I've ever used. The first time I threw it, I was late for league and had no practice and had the front nine with it and went on to shoot 790. This ball just rolls perfect for my roll. The pin is 5 1/4 from my axis above bridge. The pin CG and thumb are in line. This ball does everything I could want out of a bowling ball. It gets threw the heads clean, doesn't move in the mid lane and is very clean on the back end. The ball never over reacts on backend. As you can tell I like this ball a lot and I think you will to.

Just got my prime time Friday night and bowled with it saturday morning.I am 14 years old and average 189. the first game I threw it I shot 300 and with two other games of 289 and 269 for a 858 series. I love this ball great for medium to dry oiled lanes. I recommend this ball this ball for anyone who bowls on medium to dry lanes

This ball is drilled with a 4” pin and the CG 4” from my PAP in a stacked formation with a hole 1” below my axis. This ball is clean through the front part of the lane, does not read the midlane early and has good recovery on the backend but does not overreact. Makes a smooth move toward the pocket. I sanded mine with the 2000 Abralon pad to prevent the ball from squirting too much through the front. A good control ball.
