Title: New Ebonite Gamer Breaker 2 Phenom short video
Post by: ignitebowling on September 05, 2016, 06:16:45 PM
13 consecutive shots with the new Ebonite Game Breaker 2 Phenom on a fresh oiled house condition. Ball is at box finish and the layout is 65 x 4.75 x 25

Ball is a impressive mid performance punch for the price point. Can easily handle heavier oil conditions at box finish. This has been a great option as an alternative to my Red Widow Legend solid. Picks up a little sooner, and continues nicely on the backend. Great option if my Red Legend is too long. Not had much use with it so far because the Red Legend stays in my hand most of the time. Looking forward to using it more as the year progresses and on some of the flatter sport pattern tournaments as they come along.

First of the GB series that I have thrown, and I have really enjoyed it.

Thank you. Seen a few post asking about this kind of video, and wanted to give it a try. Gives you a little better idea on ball reaction (good and bad) through the course of a game.

Nice job! Good to see a video isn't heavily edited for a change.

I would rather see the bad shots as well as the good. I think it's a really well done video. I like the strength of the ball as well as the length it gets. Nice job on the video. I really like the looks of this ball.

I also have to congratulate you on posting the bad shots along with the good.

One question, though: for the bad shots, were you intentionally trying to throw a bad shot for some, while catching the transition on the others (for example, the shot that went high and almost tripped the 4, or peeling off the spot early to leave the greek church)?

If so, I'd have to commend you even more for catching what would happen through the transition, let alone if it's thrown too much inside your normal line.

BL.

Excellent vid OP!

I do wonder, is requesting a video like this (a TRUE representation of a ball) from a staffer essentially asking them to commit heresy?

The goal was a normal video with all strikes. Through bowling that day and trying other balls I decided to just go with a series of 13 shots good or otherwise after getting loose . After that time to move onto throwing other stuff and continue practicing .

Nothing was intentional. Some shots pulled, some shots wide, some got a touch soft in speed etc.  Had this ball for a month and not had a chance to try it out. This day of practice was the day to do so and a video.

Next video will be a Black Widow Gold. May try the same thing for that video and show good,  bad,  or otherwise.

In that case, very well done. That's more of a representation of what a typical bowler would do, especially with not every shot being perfect.

The original BWG, or the BWG CFI? Either way, I'm jealous as I've been looking for that rock since it came out in April!

Omg!! You didn't strike every shot!?!? Nice video bud. Ball rolls great and you throw it very good as well.
