What I Was Looking For in this Ball and Layout:

In my preparation for the Mini-Eliminator, High Roller, and True Amateur Tournament in Las Vegas, I was looking for a ball that just flat out hooked. No better way to find this than to drill the newest, most hooking ball on the market in a fairly aggressive position. I chose the Infinite One due to its coverstock aggressiveness and differential.

What I Ended Up With in this Ball and Layout:

I ended up with exactly what I wanted, which isn't too hard to predict given the ball that I drilled. The Infinite One is very aggressive in the front part of the lane and needs sufficient head oil to clear the front. I've chosen to leave my Infinite One in the box condition for the tournament swing coming up. My impression is that the ball may get through the heads slightly easier with some coverstock tuning. But this coverstock is simply aggressive and should only be thrown in heavier amounts of head oil.

I placed the pin in a 4 3/4" location from my positive axis point to ensure that the ball flared plenty. My goal is to use this reaction on the fresh conditions in Las Vegas when you need all the hook you can get. The Infinite One flares approximately 7" for me with this pin position. Consequently, this ball tends to make a smoother transition at the breakpoint as it is losing axis rotation quickly. I placed the preferred spin axis in a 5" position to create a smooth look down lane and to help retain axis rotation as much as possible. When you are looking at drilling aggressive surface balls with aggressive pin position, always make sure to use a slightly weaker preferred spin axis position to make sure the ball does not hit the pocket dead on arrival.

The Infinite One hooks far more than anything else in my bag. It is a few boards more than my Big One, and is arrows more than my One and Big Time series balls. If you are looking for the newest, most hooking ball that still has pop at the end of the lane, the Infinite One is the ball you are looking for.

I am a tweener who thinks I have the ability to rev it or play with a soft hand when necessary.

I drilled this ball exactly as the yellow label suggested, and this ball does exactly what Ebonite promises!  Box finish is 500 abralon and it clears the heads very well and makes a very nice continuous (infinite???) turn on the backend.

Just like the orignal One, I find that this ball reads very true and consistent.  It's consistency makes it very versatile and it reacts very predictably to changes in the release.

This is truly a high-performance ball!  Another ONE for Ebonite!

Pin to PAP Distance 4 1/2"
PSA to PAP Distance 5"
PIN HEIGHT 2.25 "
Box Condition 500 Grit

I wanted to get all of this One and test its hook ability in a flood and boy did I ever get what I was looking for. This ball likes to start up early so make sure you got plenty in the heads. I tested this ball from multiple angles and different breakpoints and for a 500 grit ball it makes a very sharp change of direction down the lane and the hit is incredible. The reaction shape can really open up the lane if you've got some speed on a house shot. If you don't the surface can be easily adjusted. A great piece for heavy oil. Probably the truest rolling heavy oil ball I have ever thrown. Bowl to Win.

the infite one is amazing i swear on my life best ball i have ever thrown im 15 and i was at junior gold and i will be going to teen masters this coming week. last weeknd the 23rd and 24th i was at a bowling camp with many pros there.. anyways i must have bowled for about 7 hours each day with about 20-30 games a day..... its now tuesday and i probably have 60 games on it and not to mention the camp was all sport shot 44 feet or something like that and the ball STILL clears the the heads and hits like a new ball. I have the big one and the one and they do not compare to this ball.. i suggest everyone get this ball.. im buying another and drilling it diffrent thats how good it is.





my first 3 games for 44 foot pattern.... 212 221 196... like i said no matter where u through it it will hit the pocket..

I drilled my Infinite One for heavy oil, specifically PBA Regional Pattern 5.  We bowled on this pattern earlier this year on Pro Anvil Lane, I finished second.  The last few games were really a struggle to get the ball to hook on the right part of the lane. My Scorchin Inferno was too long, actually finished the tournament with my One, with very heavy red scotch brite finish by hand.

Well, two weeks ago, we bowled on Pattern 5 on Pro Anvil Lane again in Abilene, TX. We were told that there was LESS volume than the Angleton tournament, but there was still a ton of oil.  I made the round of 8 losing to Paul Fleming, who was also throwing the Infinite One.

I was really worried about this ball not finishing if I went with the pin under the fingers and/or low in my grip.  I went with the pin just above right of my ring finger, the MB marker is about 1.5 inches right of my thumb.  The ball had a 2" pin out, and it was out of line to the right, which gave me too much finger and side weight after drilling.  I used a small high hole to get the ball back to legal static weights.  The pin is 4" from my PAP with MB about 90 degree angle.

I did hit it with the 500 Abralon pad that comes with the ball on Sunday, I cleaned the ball to get the gunk off from that stupid sticker they put on the ball from the factory.  This cleaning actually shined the ball some.  It was okay, made the ball more playable at the beginning of the tournament.  I was able to start left, and get the ball to the pocket from left of 4th arrow, and my break point around 13-14.

This ball is a heavy oil monster.  Great hitting power.  Hooks more than both of my Scorchin Infernos, early and very continuous.  The lanes in Abilene did not break down the same as Angleton.  Angleton created unlimited hold in the middle with OB outside of about 10-12.  In Abilene the OB was there, but the hold down the lane was not there, making the shot much lower scoring.  In Angleton I had the absolute nuts, and could have won that tournament.  In Abilene, I bowled well, but Paul was better that day.

The Infinite One is a heavy oil ball only.  Don't bother polishing it, why?  You could probably be better off with one of the other Ones.  Straight players are gonna love this ball, still need some oil, but will get more use, specially if you have good ball speed.  Tweeners are gonna like this ball, will love how continuous this ball is.  Crankers are gonna need a flood to use this ball, but when they do, watch out.  Good hitting power, rolls great.  This ball should do well for players that have an arsenal.  If you only have a couple balls, you may not need this much ball.

With the success of The One and Big One, all of us at the shop were eager to punch these up, I was the lucky one to do so.

I didn't put an overly aggressive layout, I wanted to see what this ball had to offer. On the 41 ft sport shot, this ball was a monster. The outer part of the lane was flooded. I was able to stay in the track area, and have some room to the right with this ball, it almost made it seem like our house shot. On the house shot, which has an 80-90 unit flood in the middle, I was truly impressed. I have used balls that are supposed to be hook monsters, but only the Infinite One can conquer the middle. And if I sent it a little wide to the right, it came SCREAMING back, blowing the rack. I was truly impressed with the backend reaction being so strong, especially for a dull surfaced bowling ball. I am going to try it with some polish, and will update after I do so. I see this ball being a popular one for quite some time.

Bowler's PAP: 4 3/4" over, no up/down

Layout Used: 4 1/2" pin x 4 3/4" MB to PAP, Pin 2 inches above midline of my grip, weight hole was required, 63/64 drill bit, on my axis point, 2.25" deep

Recommended Lane Condition: Heavy oil

8/11/06 UPDATE

I've gotten a few emails from people asking about if it was polished, how it would react, so I decided to throw it back to 500 grit and apply some Ebonite Factory Finish Polish to it. I was a big fan of the ball before, now I am a HUGE fan. The only problem with the Infinite One before was that it was very aggressive in the heads. After applying some polish, I noticed a huge difference. The ball was much more predictable through the heads and still had the same booming backend that it had before. Ebonite claims the Infinite One to be the most versitile ball in the One series of balls, and now I firmly believe it.
