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
In the bag [Infinite Physix, Volatility Torque, Night Road, Phaze III, Burner Solid, Hustle AU]
*Now Testing* IQ Ruby, Renevant, another IQ Tour solid
Coming soon...???

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.
