so i've had this ball for a good 2 years or so.

3 3/8 stacked leverage, nice weighthole in the side of it...
throwin it 16-17mph with medium hand and about 10 degree axis tilt....this ball MOVES....on my house shot, hit the 15, get it out to the 8 and it comes screaming back carrying everything.  Once the lane starts to break down however the ball gets a little crazy...rolling out sometimes(but also i tend to come around it every once in a while...so that might be it) but i got a TPS II for when the lane breaks down.

This ball is still a 10 out of 10....ive had it for like i said 2 years...and ive 'de-oiled' it twice...last time was probably a year ago.  I just use some old towel to wipe it off after each shot..and its still reacting strong.

Well my name says Drive95GrandAm....but that was 2 yrs ago, now i drive a 2002 Mitsu Lancer...im a car geek that is also a computer geek that loves bowling

i have had this ball for almost five yrs...and believe it or not it is still my #1 ball out of the bag. i have a lot of stuff in my bags...Depth Charge,Triple X,El ninoXit,vortex, fullthrottle...to name a few...The Pantera reads the lanes  better that any ball i have ever owned...Its the cheapest ball of my arsenal. I have it drilled for a early roll...with a balance hole..this ball has been wonderful thru the years, i dont know what i would have done without it...its gotten me out of a lot of jams...Thanks Ebonite for making a such a great affordable ball.

I agree completely with that.  I have had this ball since 2001 and I still use it all the time, even though I have heaps of other much newer gear.  The most reliable, and most easy to read ball I have owned, and it still hits like a truck.  I can use it when its drying up, and I can use it when theres a bit more out there.  Got me out of many tight situations.  I wish Ebonite would bring it back.  It looks like they've brought back a variation of the Puma.  I can only wish.
