Title: Can someone please help me?
Post by: InternationalBabyBomb on September 14, 2005, 04:25:02 AM
After using my Apex Intensity for a few months i have realised how powerful ebonite balls are.
I am looking at purchasing the Tornado, I have never seen this ball been bowled with by adults.
My rev rate it around 270 - 300 rpm and i think i play at medium to medium high speed.
http://www.ebonite.com/products/product_page.php?PRKey=236
But then i saw the 13.5/30.0 hook potential so i thought Its more usefull as a spare ball.

So now i am thinking along the lines of the XXXcel. As shown http://www.ebonite.com/products/product_page.php?PRKey=236 there. 30.0 hook potential i cant even think of what the hitting power is like.

Can anyone show me a video of them throwing this ball. I really am considering into buying it.

Thanks in advance.

You can not go wrong with Ebonite stuff...
My XXXcel is drilled 4 x 2 no balance hole, my pap is 5 1/4 and 1/2 up. I am RH.
I use XXXcel for fresh oil, playing down and in.

How in the world can you not need a balance hole with a 4 x 2 drilling with your PAP.
Either it had ridiculously low top weight or it is illegal.

what I would probably go with is the cross fire or the ice.  Honestly, I have friends that use this as their fall back ball of choice when the ball overreacts.  Nothing fancy.  Now what you could do is get the ball for a more arc reaction instead.  that would help if you are looking for something to tone down the lanes.  

For me I switched to morich but Ebonite is right up there so its up to you
