Guys/Gals,
I just wanted to spread some information I found out about the magic after emailing ebonite and inquiring about what was included with my ball, this is what I have gathered regarding the Flexol Cover. This is one of ebonites first attempts to make a oiler that does not soak up much oil. Its some chemical process that they say is independent of oil absorption, and still creates a strong reaction in oil. I only found this out after I emailed Ebonite, asking what the Flexol Cover is, and noticed that this is the first ball that would wipe entirely clean after using it in heavy oil, without scrubbing. I bowled 11 games with it Tuesday, 10 Games Saturday with it, and 9 games Sunday with it. I cleaned it after I was done bowling, and it had sat on the rack once I switched to my agent orange. It just wiped away clean, where as my AO I had to scrub to get all of the oil off of it. As I compare it to my VG, after around 30 games or so I would have to hit it with an abralon pad to restore some of the reaction even after cleaning, as it would shine up and absorb oil. The magic is at 4000 as well, and still has the same finish on it as when I first bought it. This may be why they are claiming this is the ball they have thrown for 5000 shots, and it still reacts the same. Either good marketing propaganda or good R&D, we will see!
