Columbia Scout question
« on: September 22, 2015, 01:08:26 PM »
Would the Scout be similar to, weaker or stronger than the Ebonite Cyclone?

Thanks.

WAAAAAAAAY weaker. Pancake core will not allow for much hook, or carry for that matter.

Thank you.  Kept me from probably making a big mistake.

If you're looking for a piece for toasted lanes, make sure your drilling and surface are right on that Cyclone. It is (allegedly) the same cover as The One.

I'm not an Ebonite expert, but I didn't think that all Cyclones had The One cover; I thought that was just a specific one that did that. Still, the Cyclones have been reported to be fairly strong for "entry level" balls, so your choice depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for a lot of bang for your buck and a ball for mediums, the Cyclone is the choice. If you're looking for something truly entry level or for really dry conditions, the Scout would be the better call.

I think all the Ebonite-marketed Cyclones had the 10.7 cover used in the One and several other balls.

More than likely the same formula, just tweaked to meet the reactions the balls are meant to achieve.
