Just had demo in Kansas. My impressions from watching. Bad back so not throwing ball much.
Track SiC - knew nothing about this ball until my son grabbed it. Very impressed with its smooth, controlled hard arc. Definitely on radar to purchase as it looks like great medium ball that can cover a lot of conditions. 5-6 boards less than Game Breaker II. Could cover large medium range.
Track Tour X - looked smooth for those with small hand but a on flippy side for those with high rpm. If made by Storm, would sell a few.
Hammer Bad Ass - don't like name at all because I have kids. Wasn't impressed with roll except for high rpm guys. Seniors all had ball roll out and puke
Hammer BW Legend - as good as its supposed to be. Control with carry. Best selling so far. Not tons of hook, but very suited for typical house shot. It won't impress you until you've counted the strikes when you're done. Just one of those boring looking balls that knocks pins down.
Hammer Absolute Flip - What you'd expect from name. I'm not a fan of these types of balls, but that's more on me. It does what it's supposed to do in medium to medium-light oil.
Ebonite Game Breaker II - I had very high expectations for this and after watching it, I am only deciding on how many to get. I can easily see having 2-3 of these with different drill/surface combos in 5-6 ball arsenal. Needs head oil, but it smooth, controllable, continuous, runs over pins.
Ebonite Salute - barely got any love, so not much opinion
Ebonite Honor - clean in front with good continuation. light handed folks really liked area this ball gave them. Guy around here has 3 GBII, Honor, Cyclone to cover typical house shots in town
Columbia Nsane Antics - kind of tricky ball in that it looks great going up boards, but can't turn corner going left to right. Seemed to be one-trick pony
Columbia Throw Down - didn't see much love when I was there. My daughter liked it at first going up boards, but moved in a little and lost carry
Columbia Eruption Pro Hybrid - I had high expectations for this as I see lots of EP's around. Didn't see good look from those I saw. Low RPM couldn't get read in oil and responded too quick and burnt up in dry. Heavy RPM just saw skip/flip and had trouble controlling. This house has wet-dry conditions, so maybe just not best for this condition. Couple seniors liked this ball, but didn't get excited about it as they all had balls similar.
