COMMENTS

Drilling: I drilled my Source pin way up with the MB under the thumb and left box finish on it.
Likes: Where to start with this ball! This is by far the most angular ball since the Angular One. If there are any dry boards this ball is making an extreme motion on the back end. This ball is best suited for medium lanes with fresh back ends. This ball is less overall hook then the Pivot and Legacy but more backend movement then both. With the Mission core and a strong pearl cover this ball is sure to please!

Dislikes: The Source does not like tight backend it also can be a little much if the backends are too dry.

The Source bowling ball gives good length through the heads and has a strong continuous backend reaction.  In addition, this ball has the famous core of the Mission; which keeps the pins low to the deck for more pin action and carry.  I always loved that feature with the Mission cores. 

My Source is drilled with the pin under my ring finger, the CG is approximately 4 ½ inches from the pin and has a small weight hole for balance.   This ball gives me good length on a typical house condition with a smooth continuous back end reaction.  It also comes into play on tournament conditions where the heads have burned and I need something to get further down the lane.  But as the lanes open on the back, more friction is involved and the ball finishes even harder.   This ball is very predictable and I use it most during league play transition or tournament play transition.  The Source is certainly a must for every bowler’s arsenal!!

This isn't a ball review, rather its a rant about Ball reviews.....

I just spent 25 minutes typing out and detailing the Ebonite Source; after proof-reading my text, I added 4 photos to my post. When I clicked "submit", I was told the attachments were too large (192 KB max), and I needed to delete some photos to get back under the limit.

When I clicked "BACK".......... my review was gone, completely. No opportunity to retrieve my ball review, it was just gone.

Ballreviews-- can you do something about the formatting of this site, in cases like this? (in other words, when you have to go "back" and change something). I'm not re-writing another review, so because of this crappy error, the Source gets one less review and indication that it really is a great release from Ebonite.

Thanks for wasting my time.

Length:40ft

Volume:20-25mL

Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc):USBC white pattern on Brunswick Anvilane

I left the Source at box surface starting playing through 10 at the arrows standing on 18, the reaction was later down the lane and continuous I was at least four boards to far right.  I made a four board move left and kept my eyes on 10 at the arrows I was able to see really smooth and strong transitions once the Source exited the pattern.  I was able to read the ball each shot, I got one in to early and the volume of oil took it to far down the lane before it started to roll which resulted in leaving a weak ten pin.  The Source is a very good ball for those fresh medium patterns as well as when the medium heavy patterns start to transition and the something is needed to get a farther down the lane.
