I had the opportunity to tour the Ebonite factory and bowl at the test center.
Met all the brand managers, was an awesome experience
Top notch company for sure
Anyways, I have all 3 of the 300 series
300c - kind of a love/hate ball, sometimes great, sometimes not, redrilled it, surfaces, etc..
300T - love this ball, weaker and predictable, layout on mine is pin just under the bridge and weight hole on PAP, short sport killer...
300A - Mitch Beasley laid this piece out for me just for the toasty shot, it has been mentioned here already, 2" pin-pap, what a great piece, wont over react at all with that short pin.
when everybody else is moving in, i can move out and stay there
Predictable move off the end of the pattern every time(unless you help it, then you see the "A" characteristic of the ball, it will jump a little)
used it a few days ago on a highway to hell pattern, dulled to 1000 by hand, moved out and threw it up 6-7, made nice move to the pocket and carried well.
My biggest problem on the friction is helping it, dryer it is, harder i throw it and more i help it.
if you help it all at on friction, you are at a disadvantage from the start.
Guys who have the good, smooth stay behind it, release seem to do much better IMO
My greastest improvement for the dry THS on wood lanes has been improving my technique, equipment is also important, but secondary in this equation
dry lane equipment
original JET
300a
arson low flare
blue hammer, U2 classic (these tend to hook way early and stop at this house)
hammer taboo spare (has weird looking carry, but carries well because of the core)
