Suggestions for a couple of new balls.
« on: January 21, 2019, 06:21:33 PM »
I'm looking to get two new balls in the Ebonite family. I need something that will cover medium and medium light conditions.  I have a ball (Ebonite Warrior Elite and I can only use it at one house were there is a flood) for heavy.  Don't need anything for real dry.  My specs. are slow speed and average to above average revs.  I'm trying to get back to a straighter shot rather than having to move way left and swinging the ball.  Right now I'm looking at the Ebonite Destiny Solid and Hybrid, Hammer Rhodman Pearl and Columbia Spoiler.  I would prefer to have one solid and one either a pearl or polished.  I will be retiring a Columbia Sideswipe Solid (banged up all over) and a Hammer Viral Hybrid (just seems to have quit and is also banged up pretty bad).  Both of these have worked well for me in the past. 

If anyone has used some of these balls and could give me your opinions, I would really appreciated it.

Destiny hybrid to replace the viral hybrid

Hammer rhodman pearl, or Web (not the tour) to replace the sideswipe

Both the rhodman and the web are the same core shape I think, either will work, I'd still pick the Web!

Up the boards versus swinging the ball.... My no.1 up the boards reaction is with my respect. I know your are not looking for 900, but it totally is an up the boards reaction! If u ever what a polished reaction in that area.... Seriously check it out, I had my career high average last season exclusively using one, and we're talking 240+ for 80+ games...

I love the vibe core and have no issue recomending it to anyone, so if you liked the roll of the Viral Hybrid I'd definitely get a Blue Vibe.

If you want to stay a little straighter I think you have to get a Web Tour to stay on the smooth end.

Thanks guys.  I think I'm going with the Ebonite Destiny Solid (to replace the Sideswipe) and either the Hammer Vibe or the Destiny Hybrid (to replace the Viral Hybrid).  I think they might give me what I'm looking for. 

Again, thanks a lot.
