Your favorite ebonite ball?

Mine is the Game Breaker. I had seven of them drilled up over the last couple years.

Absolutely love my Raid.  A year ago it was my ultimate "go to" ball. However.... I like it so much, I am afraid to use it for fear it could get damaged and I would never find anything like it again.

Been searching for something very close to it. If I could find such a ball, I could start using my raid again, knowing I had a replacement available.

Pinslasher is almost exactly the same, its very very close for me ball reaction wise.

My favorite 3 have been the Total NV, PinSlasher, and Gamebreaker.

I don't thow a lot of Ebonite stuff, but the Playmaker I have thrown is an excellent and versatile piece.  I hope the cover holds up though as many of my other ebonite stuff (such as total and complete NV's) just went to hell after 70 games.
Title: Re: what is your favorite ebonite ball?
Post by: jbungard on January 01, 2010, 08:28:28 PM
Gyro III in the 70's. More recently, the Nitro/R2, Turbo/X. Great results with Total NV, Complete NV and Gamebreaker. But I'm so tired of ball death in the oil absorbers that I have gotten away from Ebonite and went to Lane Masters. It's nice to use balls that retain their reaction for more than a month. This isn't just an Ebonite problem as I've experienced this in Storm, Roto Grip, Brunswick and others. The only ones that seem to have avoided ball death are Lane Masters and Visionary. They're the ones that will get my money until this built-in obsolescence nonsense stops.
YMMV
