Nice Job EBI 8 new releases today 2 for each brand. I will go broke before the summer is over with all these new choices. ;D
-
I really want the Cyborg but now that I got the fingers in my Warrior redrilled, I think I'll go with the Side Swipe and Warrior Supreme
-
If I had my choice I would get first the GB Phenom and then the Warrior Supreme. After that the Track Cyborg seems interesting.
-
Should get the Warrior and Phenom soon.
-
I think it's cool that certain, "winners" are sticking around, I eel the brand will do better that way.
Brunswick's doing it too with the mastermind...
-
I will be getting the Rebel, and Black Widow spare. Just got a Paradox Pearl,
so that will be my new lineup for this year.

I find it interesting that they put the Dark Legend Solid as an upper-mid ball, leaving the hole open with the Scandal. FCC rating puts the Dark Legend Solid at .25 underneath the Scandal, which makes the symmetric piece still the hardest hooking ball in their lineup.
But like I said, it leaves a gaping hole, which Ebonite just covered in their Warrior lineup. The Warrior lineup now has all 3 coverstocks covered: solid, pearl, and hybrid. Right now, the Scandal just has the solid. I'm hoping that the Amazing Scandal makes it to this side of the ocean (it's available in Japan), as it is the pearl version of the Scandal. If it doesn't, I may go Scandal, Warrior Elite, and Warrior; if it does, that puts the Warrior in jeopardy if being knocked out.
I'm still on the fence with everything and hedging on what's to come at Bowl Expo (this is a good indication) so I'm just waiting on release dates...
Though I have to say that that Warrior Supreme looks like what the Nu-Line Excalibur would have been if it were darker, and the purple in it smoothed out with the ball.

You left out the 9th release.. and I'm hoping it isn't a fluke that the video for it was released overseas before making it here. It's Hammer's official video, so I'm hoping it's true.

It's already known that the EBI branded shoes are coming because of their deal with KR
-
Japan gets a pearl version of the Scandal too, the "Amazing Scandal". Would be nice to see that over here as well

Hammer Men and Ladies shoes are coming. July 1st is when a few lucky folks can begin to place orders for the shoes. The shoes can viewed at Bowl Expo.
-
Planning on two Warrior Supremes a Warrior Elite and Warrior for the upcoming season.
-
cyborg looks the best to me, but the bottom part of that core....hmm where have I seen it before?
-
I wouldn't worry about the pearl Scandal coming to the US...

Holy cryptic, Batman! :P
That can be taken either way.. but the question remains: Why would you say that?

Ebi brands still have plenty more release across lines proor to fall league. You know a new Scandal and Paradox will be part of it.

For the record, Japan has had at least 10 different releases of the BW Spare.. But they sell over there, so they'll keep releasing them!
Speaking of overseas releases, at least we don't have to go on the hunt for the Warrior Monster pieces that were released in Japan. From my digging, it looks like they didn't get the Warrior released over there, but in its place received the Warrior Monster Pearl and Warrior Monster Solid.
They looks similar in specs to the Warrior and Warrior Supreme, only with a different finish on the surface (2000 grit (polished on the Pearl) ) versus 500/3000 on the Supreme and 500/2000 polished on the Warrior. Both sides of the pond got the Warrior Elite.
So we definitely have seen the completion of the Warrior line, at least as far as coverstocks go. No idea if they'd even think of putting together a spare ball; it isn't in Ebonite's bag (yet) to do that, as they've totally focused on the pancaked Maxims for the past 30something years.

Ebonite had the Clear Wolf back in the day, but hasn't had a "performance" spare ball since.
