Ahh, yes.. Scandal. :)

I'm going to hold fire on this one until I see a video of it. Ebonite hasn't let me down with anything named Warrior or a red ball that I have used from them (read: TPC Warrior, Mission), but definitely want to see it to see if it would work for me.. Have you seen a video for it yet?

Interesting that Ebonite is recycling names of old releases. Their original Warrior was released in mid-2002.

Being pedantic here, but there's a difference between the TPC Warrior and the Warrior.

the TPC was its own separate line, as it had the TPC Warrior, TPC Shooter, TPC ShooterXL, and another one I can't remember.. with TPC = The Player's Championship.

There are only but so many names out that can be used. It will be inevitable that names eventually get recycled.

HA HA, I said that back in 2000. Track and Paulie further proved that with numbering system. Now they have gone back to names.
Hoping the Iron fist Warrior has THE ONE motion.
That would fantastic.

The orginal Warrior was the best Ebonite ball I ever owned, well at least until it cracked. A lot of those cracked within a few weeks and at times while drilling. The cover stock was great but just something about it cracked. Mine actually last a couple years.

The fourth in the TPC line was the Player which was released in May 2003. The first in the line was the Warrior (July 2002) followed by the Shooter and Shooter XL (both were released in December 2002).

Where are the videos???

Video is up on Ebonite's FB page, though not yet on Youtube. Luckily, Ebonite has their FB page public.

The ball looks super clean through the heads... almost Mission Domination/$250K-like. but definitely stronger through the middle and continuous in the back end.. all of this, keeping in mind it's a pearl, and that it's TJ throwing the ball in the video, and we know the hand he has.

It definitely has my attention.. Love to see how this stacks up against Hammer's RWL (Pearl, not Solid).
