Oct. 18th. Boy does Tommy hook this thing. Think I can hook it too.
-
Man.. Tommy was using the whole lane in that video!!
-
i must say ball looks good in his hand...maybe he can win again...some of these guys are loyal to a fault with ball companys....yea if somebody was paying me x amount of dollars i stay loyal also....he's good just saying guy could of won more if he was a free agent..IMO...
-
very strong pearl
got a couple to drill up
probably way to much ball for me where im at
-
Waiting, maybe tomorrow. Let all know how you like it.
-
i drilled one that ebonite was nice enough to send me early........i will state I have been a global guy for a long time and this is my first ebonite in some time....I polished mine to 4000 w/fact polish this ball is soooooo strong off the spot its ridiculous! One of the strongest pearls Ive ever had......probably 5 boards more than my g900 look....check this ball out you wont be sorry....ill get a video posted of it up soon I'm hoping.
-
how did you drill it?
and did you see a strong arcing motion or hockey stick like motion
scaring me with how strong it may be
-
Dave,
I drilled it 60 * 6 *35
It is very strong but my rev rate is 300+ for sure and throw it about 17/18.
I would say this ball would remind you of the total NV when your referring to motion and strength. Hope that helps
-
Total NV?? Why did you have to say that?? Now I will have to drill one....
-
If you watch the video for this ball he mentioned they re blended the Coves from the One and the NV series for this ball........
-
Tdub I was thinking the same thing. Gee darn I have to buy another ball.
-
I pretty much quit throwing Ebonite when they stopped using the NV core. Those things were awesome. Every single one of them....NVD might have been my favorite with the Complete and Total still pretty close. I just loved every single ball I threw with that core. Even the Magic series....
-
I threw my challenge for the second week this week and shot 800....this ball is gonna be sick good! they might have to ban it for giving to much area.
-
Sounds great. Waiting for the UPS man.
-
Who has best price on it
-
How are people liking the challenge?
-
Wheres all the challenge videos???!
-
Its clear that no one bought it, no websites support it or want to sell it. I had to look up a german pro shop to see a non 500 rev bowler throw it. Ebonites whole schemes off....thats what I see...my pro shop pushes Kentucky...they've managed to sell 3 pursuits and 0 challenges... Bowlers believed in the mission....I assume no one cares about what ebo is making anymore
-
All there stuff had so much over under for me that I have switched to 900 global and sold most of my ebo int stuff.
-
I bought it and used it for first time thursday.drilled it 40X4.5X25 .I did like ball,it rolls and hits good but i would rate this ball for med oil at best.I dont think ball would handle heavy volume of oil.

Not sure what pattern you threw it on, I threw it at a Demo day last week and its one of the strongest balls Ive personally ever thrown, and Ive been bowling close to 30 years...I would guess that you didnt have enough volume to keep it from burning up.
-
I bowl on a med/heavy house shot..i think my misson domination and taboo would out hook the challenge and have used reactive balls since they came out.

surprised by this comment
I switched to EBO products because of the control and flexibility of the covers
the T and C series of Track products are pretty awesome
I am still learning, but the EBO family has more control for me than any Storm, Bruns
product out there
And I'm heavy handed to boot, so I know a thing or 2 about change of direction
It is one of the hardest things I have had to learn
Controlling the ball motion
The Ebonite product line has something for everyone
They are ahead of the rest of them in technology by far
-
I see the Challenge stronger than any of the Missions.

I bowled beside Ed Gallagher a few weeks ago and he used two different Challenges! I talked to him after league and he used a pin up and pin down all night and was standing very deep and had a great reaction all night!! I'll see if I can get him to comment on here about what the difference is between the high end Ebonite balls! It's a Friday night mixed league at the Pinnacle, Clarksville, Tennessee!! The thing that impressed me was the ball didn't hook at his feet, but was very clean through the heads with a great move at the breakpoint!! I've had two different Mission's and I'll be drilling my Challenge this week, and no I'm not on staff with any ball company!!! The ball I'm using the most is a Columbia Oath for the controlled arc move it makes!! Just my $.02, Bruce

This. I have a Mission X in the bag and the Challenge was a good arrow more ball from what I saw. Also side by side that day had an Oath, Endure, 706A and the Challenge was alot more ball than any of those as well.
-
I will use it again this week and see how it reacts..like i said i did like the reaction i got and was able to use it all three games and did have 10 in a row with it .It just didnt seem as strong as i was expecting.i did put a very light polish on it but not alot...either way i think it will be good ball for me i really liked the mission series and own all of them and the challenge is another good ball from ebonite.
