Reactions: Designed to be longer than the Big One, with increased backend ball reaction.

Coverstock: GB 12.1 sanded with 500-grit Abralon

Talk about total contradiction....500 grit designed to go long...yet soak up more oil....

something's rotten in denmark....please explain....some ebonite staffer/bowler???

sounds like a "snake-oil" pitch to me....

You maybe confused and the only way to see what Ebonite is referring to is try it yourself.  I've seen it when a friend was testing the ball and it does clear the front better than out of box Big One (4000 grit) and backend continous more than any ball I've ever seen.  Actually he was trying to throw it into the O.B. and it still came back.  This wasn't on a house shot but on a PBA shot. Some balls must be available because some guys have the ball.

I thought I read somewhere that they inverted the block as well, this could be the difference your looking for if that is the case.

The official release date is 7/15

on 4/18/06: 193 298 193, now thats a consistant league night, huh?? LOL..

actually...the web-site....just makes my points valid!!!!

all 3 react the same (2-4 boards at most) when in "IDENTICAL" box surface...according to ebonite's OWN LANE CHARTS on the website...

and of course....the video's are only done half-way....by that I mean...TRUE surface to surface comparision was not shown w/each ball...

but enough was shown to let even anybody w/half a brain to see...they're OWN LANE CHARTS...are probably pretty accurate....

so in realty...no that big a difference in the 3 balls....

YES...the ONE is/was an amazing ball....

but the additional advances "CLAIMED" are very minor to say the least....very good dog/pony show...smoke/mirrors...everybody get's the point of this diatribe by now

youre missing the point of core design and dynamics. yes coverstock  is a big part of overall reaction. also they dont show drilling, which is a huge part of how a ball will act. you can drill any 500grit to hook early or go long. thats why there are so many different ways to drill. go over to the track forum and ask clint about all his roborules and gp2s. he has like 10 of each all with different drilling. im sure he has some that hook early, and some that go longer .

I actually just viewed the Spotlight for the second time in the last week.  You do have to be a little patient with it.  But it should work if you have the right media player.

Mass Bias diff is the important factor in the reaction of this ball.  The 16lb One series reacts true to form with the others.
