Title: GB-3 Pearl
Post by: thedjs on August 18, 2018, 09:33:35 AM

Saw this on the approved list.  Any idea when we might expect it to be released?

We were asked not to show pics until Ebonite  announces it for each release. Stef won on Saturday with one.  Will put a pix on Facebook, Performance Plus later today or tomorrow. I also noticed it is now on Ebonite's website. I am sure someone will post a pix on here.

Saw a bunch this weekend at a team tourney thrown by staffers and saw it at the demo day they had.

Video is up as well. I have to say, I do love how Ebonite is doing these 1-take videos. In this one, Ronnie is alternating frames between the GB3 and GB3 Pearl. When a bad rack is the only reason you don't throw a 300, and a pearl starts to 9-pin on you, that's damn good.

I may have to rethink my choices for the year.

Ball rolls great. More backend  motion than I was expecting.Very attractive and a GameBreaker, wow. Waiting on the The Track and Columbia balls.

I'm pretty glad to be honest. The Rhodman Pearl is a bit smoother without seeing the lane as early as the GB2 and 3. Gb3 Pearl seems ro allow for more recovery (like the Phenom Pearl). Very good series of Low RG symmetrics from EBI.

Facebook. Performance Plus, maybe tomorrow. Tactic looks like the old Champ. Savage is colorful, I will say that. :)

That Tactic reminds me of the old White Dot back in the early 80s. That classic C300 blue.

How much overlap do you see with the GB2 Phenom Pearl?

Longer and more backend for me with GB3 Pearl.

BTW, Ebonite does it again. Staff purchase Track and Columbia balls were waiting for me  today. Always GREAT to see a box with Vivian's name on it. :)
