Basically it says "The New Magic from Ebonite, will react the same as all the other 4000 grit bowling balls on a standard house shot."

Exactly that series needs to die off like right now, I have one it is a medium oil ball at best.

Ed and Ron used to closely monitor us on BR, bet they still lurk around here once in awhile.

It says in Danish that its a new cover and core, the ball will go longer and make a move on the backend not seen by ebonite balls in a long time

It says Symmetric Mass Bias, so does that mean its an asymmetrical ball?  I'm confused

Don't they say that every six months or so?  When does it end?  There's only 60 feet of lane.

guessing from previous balls with the same wording my guess would be drill using the MB marking, remember the entire One series says the same thing and if you ignore the MB they can became junk real fast.

RG is 2.5, thats pretty high for a high performance ball, the ball should be real clean thru the fronts, sounds interesting
