Ok, going to try to keep this simple.

There are no words to describe this ball. It is by far the best ball I've thrown since the original Vortex 2 solid. Imagine the heavy roll of the Apex Reflex with much more continuation. An absolute machine, carries better than anything I've thrown. This years "cheater" ball. Drilled pin above ring finger, bomb 3" right of thumb, weight hole on PAP.

The ease thru the fronts, good read in the middle, continuous backend reaction is everything you could ask for in a bowling ball. A little scrotch brite applied to the cover will make this ball the strongest in the Ebonite line.

Probably the most impressive Ebonite ball I've ever thrown.

PS. This ball has really high flare potential, so drilling patterns will make a big difference in how this ball reacts. I drilled mine farely strong, and it shows no sign of burning up early.

We just drilled up a Warrior for one of our staff bowlers.  This bowler has more of a spinner release, with Medium revs.

We laid the ball with the pin 4" from his axis and the PSA 1 3/4" from Vertical Axis Line.  

The bowler used this ball on a 2nd shift with dry outside 7 and heavy oil inside.

The Warrior was great for reving up in the front part of the lane, and then reading the dry, and giving a smooth/strong move to the pocket.  

This ball will be the choice when bowling on over/under type shots, or those tricky sport conditions where there is a lot of dry boards.  The ball is able to make a strong move to the pocket but still having great hit a the pocket.

I was very impressed watching this ball carry the corners.  The bowler was able to average 250 with it for 3 games, and we both said that it was able to get the corner out better than other balls that he has thrown on this type of shot.

This ball is drilled with PSA at 90 degrees and pin just under ring finger.  This ball blows in heavy oil 40ft long and wall 5 to 5.  I have decent speed, which I can adjust, and medium revs.  Over-reacts outside of five and stays straight inside of 5.  No area what so ever.  I have to maintain speed from releasing at 10 out to 5 across the 7 board with breakpoint at 40'.  Short hits leave lots of 2-8-10 and high hits leave all sorts of stuff...  I actually hit light once and left a 4-7-10.  This ball does not work in my house.  I shot 630 struggling and the same night there were 3-300's and a 298.  

There are so few reviewers that are unhappy with NEW BOWLING BALLS they purchase .. makes you wonder if it's just the fact that it's a NEW BALL. Sorry to say .. I now have to join the majority.

The EBONITE WARRIOR is a tremendous ball. I've had it for about 5 weeks and although I bowl four leagues a week, I haven't used it on all conditions. I've used it mainly on oil (medium to heavy) and have excellent results. Although I bowl in one house with WOOD lanes I have not used this ball. In that particular house I've been sucessful with the BUZZSAW, so I have not strayed from that.

With the WARRIOR I need only get close to the pocket (high or low) and the pins fly around. I lost a number of great games missing 10 pins. My problem was missing on the gutter side. I have now mastered that with the ball and hopefully I'll get those BIG game opportunities again.

Love the ball .. put it up there with my ICON/BUZZSAW and RED FUZE. I guess the manufactures have finally hit on something that helps the bowlers and doesn't die after 50 - 100 games.

Received mine through the PBA offering over a month ago, but did not drill it cause I wanted to see what the rest of my new equipment did before I decided how to drill the Warrior. Ball is 15#, 2-3 inch pin, 3 ounces of top. With the huge diff on this ball, I decided I wanted more control, so I put the pin at 1:30 tucked under my ring finger stacked with the PSA on a 45 degree angle from the CG. Finally drilled it and used it Saturday, after a women's league on Friday, where most of them use either plastic or early urethane balls, then a pee-wee junior league Saturday morning, where all the little kids, including mine, were using plastic balls. CAN YOU SAY CARRYDOWN? Well, I tried my Aggression first, had to move outside and alost play up the gutter, but still didn't have much kick on the backend. Tried my Adrenaline, which is drilled almost identical to the Warrior, and it did less than the Aggression. Original Apex next, still no backend, followed by the V2 Reactive, Predator Sparkle, Intensity still no luck. Had mild success with the V2 Particle, but was drilled too weak and kicked too late, many wrap tens. Then pulled out the Warrior. Absolutely kicked everything else in the rear! Ball acted as if there was no carrydown, was able to move in 5 boards from where I was with the Aggression and 7 from the V2 Particle, and turned the corner everytime. Still hung a couple of tens, but not like I was with the Aggression and V2 Particle. I was very surprised with this ball. I have never been a fan of Pearl balls( I dislike the Predator Sparkle and have only thrown about 4 shots with it in 2 months)but this ball is a definite winner. Tried it again yesterday, this time on 38' fresh 10-10 house pattern, and the ball performed just had it did the day before. Very consistent ball, hard hitting, pretty forgiving.

TPC Warrior 15lbs, pin (5" inch) in between and directly under fingers with PSA at 5 o'clock.  Ball is very consistant through the heads and has a strong arcing move to the pocket.  Not skid snapish, but strong and controlled on the backend.  The ball performs very well on medium oil but is not recommended for heavy oil patterns.  Carry is very good with this piece of equipment, and I would recommned this to any bowler with high RPM's and average to above average ball speed.  Very versitale bowling ball. Great job Ebonite.

15lbs, pin and CG kicked out to the right, no extra hole. This ball will tear up dry-medium lane conditions, but it does not do well on heavier volumes of oil. I'm a stroker with medium revs and whenever I use this ball on oil, my carry is terrible. But, if I use this ball on medium to drier lanes, this ball hits like a truck. Also, on wall shots, this ball may be useful, but you need to get the ball to the dry area so it can recover. But, if you get it to the dry early, the ball will snap and leave some ugly designs. Bottom line, excellent ball for medium to drier lanes, not so good for oiler lanes. May want to hit lightly with green scotch brite pad to get the ball rolling earlier for a more predictable reaction.
