- Description:We''''re really looking forward to this new release from Ebonite continuing the impressive Mission line that''''s garnered rave reviews from many of our customers. Same Quality, Same High Performance, Same Result. Ebonite’s Mission 2.0 offers enhanced motion, stronger backend continuation and more striking power than ever before. The 2.0 uses the exact Mission 1.0 core of the original Mission, but it’s the coverstock that takes it to the next level. The new XL1250 coverstock contains the highest percentage of pearl ever used in a ball, to create an enhanced ball motion and more strike power. If you liked the Mission, then just wait….

Right Handed.
Medium Rev Rate.
Medium/Low Ball Speed.
Normal Ball Track (within 1.5").
15lbs Ball.
Synthetic Lane Surface.
Heavy Oil Pattern (handles the transition to Medium just fine).
2" pin with 4x3 Drill Pattern.
Medium Skid/Roll.
Strong Arcing Backend (after surface adjustment).
Hits Like a Train.

Box Surface (2000) was a very strong flip. Changed surface to 1000 and wow, an AMAZING strong arc with no give up!

Highly Recommended.

Mission 2.0 - Drilled with pin above ring finger, CG about 3 inches above pin and MB about an inch from the thumbhole on right - out of box finish.

This ball is a great compliment to the Mission 1.0 as it gets down the lane really clean before exerting its energy. The ball goes about 2 – 3 feet longer for me than the original Mission and has a great turnover on the backend. Hence it is storing its energy for the turn further down the lane. As with the Mission 1.0, the pins stay low to the deck with the 2.0 and it generates great pin reaction. When the burn area gets more to the front part of the lane, I can move deeper with the 2.0. As I move deeper, I do tend to leave a few flat 10’s only because of the angle of entry I am playing.

As with the original Mission....job well done on the Mission 2.0!!

My 2.0

drilling: 65 x 4 1/4 x 35 (down-lane hook basically)
cover: changed to 4000 abralon (from 2000)

ball clears the heads very well.
same smooth transition as original Mission but more angle and hook.

really digging this ball right now!

Happy Holidays,

I have went through 2 of these balls already, and it's a welcome addition to my bag.

first one was a 60 X 5 X 15 with no hole. (pretty much a VAL layout), surface was tested at box, then switched to 4000. I liked this a lot around Long Island. Ball went long, and gave me a smooth, but strong transition on the back. I could play straight or open the lanes up.

The second one I drilled was a 50 X 4.25 X 30 with no hole. The CG was actually quite a bit to the right of the pin to MB line hence no hole was necessary. WOW, this piece rolled well. I bowled pot games with a few of my friends and this piece obliterated the shot. We bowled on a broken down house shot with carry down and I think my low game of 4 was 258. Then we had to take a break so the mechanic could oil for leagues. We got on the fresh and I shot a 279. This one read the lanes beautifully. Very easy to read, and manipulate.

Common denominator was no extra holes in these pieces. I can have a lot of trouble with asymmetric cores and extra holes are hit and miss.

My favorite layout for an asymmetric core right now is basically a 4 X 4 with a 1.5" pin buffer (50 X 4 X 20) with no hole. This gives me that strong read of the mid lane and good continuation through the pins.

If you liked the original Mission, go get yourself a 2.0 and you will have the best 1-2 punch on the market in terms of high performance balls. I recommend a pin down layout on the original, and pin up on the 2.0 with a little weaker pin placement.

Happy Striking!

All I can say is...THIS BALL is AWESOME! I have it drilled for maximum hook bc I typically throw to fast with not enough rotation to get hook but boy does this hook! And when it hits pocket it hits hard! I don't have any complaints about it at all. Bravo ebonite for an awesome product!
