Does anyone use or have a Ebonite Riptide. How do you feel about it? I know it was one of ebonite's first particle balls. I have a riptide and it seems to works well.

Had one for awhile. Would do one of two things. Hook in my backswing, puke, and back up the entire length of the lane, or with a slight amount of polish, skid all the way to the kickback.

I bet the "Pro Reactive Resin" balls are ones Ebonite would like to forget.

The other day in our league I bowled with my Riptide. I usually only bowl around 100 which isn't much. Got a 108 first game and a 148 the 2nd. 2nd game I was able to get some spares and strikes towards then end of the game. I don't know if I play good with this ball but i'm able to get around a 12 or 13 MPH ball speed.

 I had another ball I was using but it was a 15 1/2 pound ball. I figure my other ball was a little heavy. With my 15lb Riptide its light enough I can get a good follow through and throw the ball hard enough. I made some adjustments throwing from the far right even though I'm a Lefty. Seemed to work for me with my Riptide.
