new ebonite balls approved by the PBA today!
« on: April 27, 2005, 10:15:44 AM »
i found an original Turbo X in my garage today and was lookin to see if it was still approved for use on the pba and found some new balls approved today!!

thought id share with the ebonite peeps here.

Big Time Pearl  navy/silver pearl
Crossfire  red/gold
Nitro R2 - classic  purple
Puma - classic  black/gold
V2 Power  purple/teal/red
XXXcel  black/purple/magenta

theres also some new colors for the Tornado's/T-warning's/Maxim's

doesnt say anything on Ebonite's website, but perhaps some people on here might have some inside info.

would be nice to see some resin stuff come out after the last few particle releases

Yea, have overheard rumors and talk about some of these, but nothing substantial until now.  Can't wait to see specs on the Black Ice and the Big Time Pearl...Love the Ice and want to fit into a Big Time

I thought that was the Nacion's Zone #17? Did them Ebonite people get permission from Big B to use the name? Will have to check the website once pics are up to see how they look....then again we will probably have them show up in the shop in the next week or so.

Of the 7 balls listed in this forum 6 are Reactive.  You will begin to see more reactive balls come from Ebonite in the near future, thanks to some recent advancements in coverstock technology.  

The BIG TIME and XXcel were just the beginning.


I thought the Big Time was a low-load particle ball, not resin.

brunswicks version is called "Danger Zone Black Ice"  not "Black Ice" therefor they are not the same name.

So here's the question...the Black Ice, will it hook more or less than the original Ice?  Probably more, because that foreshadows the Dry Ice, for drier conditions...at least in theory, who knows, but i'd say i'm VERY interested in the Black Ice

i agree ^...i also cant wait to hear some information on the XXXcel. Ive thrown the Xcel particle, XXcel, and if this XXXcel is particle too, then i can only imagine what a monster this ball will be. What cover/core combo will ebonite think of next!!??!!??!???!!

i hope the XXXcel will be a resin ball. the big time sounds like it will be a low load pearl particle similar to the Game Time cover.

The Big Time already is a low-load particle ball, though not a pearl I think.  Tommy Jones has won about 600 tournaments with it.
