Ebonite is now among the returned.
I see a resemblance to the C-systems of Brunswick, to the Virtuals of Storm, to the Cells, to the Swings of Columbia, to the Avalanches of Brunswick, to the heart of bowling. None are the same, yet all are "Bowling"!!
and, remember: I am not yet an Ebonite fan(atic), but I am getting close.
Give Ebonite and Brunswick a chance. And see what you get.

You''re prejudiced and not in full control of all your faculties, if you truly believe that. Plus I expect that you have not truly and knowledgably tried very many current Ebonite balls.

Actually the Magic Action is comparable to the Mutant Cell. Drilled them both the day after Xmas and they play within a board or two with the MA being about two feet longer and having more continuation.
The Mutant has seen more use though as the conditions I have bowled on are pretty wet/dry and it gave me more area and recovery from a deep line trying to stay in the oil.
Just my $.02

Bunch of staffers throwing it.
Release date isn't until February, but if they put as much money into it as they say they did, there should be some video due out for it.

I tested it beside my Magic Touch with the same drilling. The Touch is sanded with 2000 abralon.
My mission is about 3-4 feet longer and much stronger on the back end. It reminded me of The One when it first came out. I''m not sure how to describe the reaction but I haven''t seen this type reaction from Ebonite in a long time. I usually have a hard time controlling balls with strong back end reaction but the Mission is quite easy to control. It reacted well with release changes so I could easily play different parts of the lane.
My buddy who''s also an Ebonite staffer is saying the same thing about the reaction: Strong but easy to control
The Mission is very different from the past releases from Ebonite. I''m sure it''s going to find it''s way into my bag.
I''ll try to shoot some video as soon as possible EDIT: Due to my knee I probably won''t be able to shoot a video for a few weeks. Sorry

This is factual
I know several of the guys throwing the ball (1 of them drills my equip). I haven''''''''t seen the ball other than the video on FB, but will ask their opinion of itEdited on 1/6/2010 4:01 PM

Couldn't agree more about the Magic Action, have drilled them for a few customers that have both and they all remark how it is stronger down then the Mutant. They give me the "I was told Ebonite balls don't hook down the lane" line.

Brunswick is now made in Mexico so they have to be good right? hahaha
seriously dude, all the companies make good stuff, but it just all depends on how certain balls/companies match up to your individual game. me personally, i HATE brunswick.....why? because the balls dont roll right at all for me. I am better suited with Hammer/Track/Ebonite equipment for my individual game. Its all a matter of personal preference when it really comes down to it.
Post by: kidlost2000 on January 07, 2010, 01:04:53 AM
There is a lot of good equipment out there, and a lot of stupid people.
Those numbers you can check on any forum site.
Hopefully Ebonite gets back on it because Hammer has been very impressive lately....Not that it matters, it all goes back to the same place lol

When was the last good Brunswick ball? Sure if you want a ball that bails on the backend then I guess Brunswick would be the choice. Unless you throw it like rash Brunswick balls are mush.
Magic Action is better then any Brunswick ball.

Wow, really??? I've never had any problem getting the Brunswick stuff to turn over on the backend and I'm not Shawn Rash by any means. What was the last Brunswick ball you drilled???
I'm guessing the Mission will be an awesome ball and much needed. A guy I know that is on staff with Ebonite and puts a lot of hand in the ball has really struggled with their stuff lately because it burns up and dies. No matter the pattern, surface, or the amount of polish. I'm sure this ball will be much improved over a lot the grit they have released lately. Plus Ebonite sales in my area has been really low recently and the Hammer stuff is through the roof. It all comes from the same place, so maybe they can pass some back on to the Ebonite brand.

These days with the heavier volume of oil, I prefer balls with little surface. Even with decent amount of surface, after about 10 shots the ball tames down and is very user friendly

Yes, it could have been done better. But I did like the few clips that Ebonite did show of the Mission on the lane. Looks to be very flippy on the backend. Also, if you have Ebonite as a friend on Facebook, they posted a pic of their ball display with the Mission if you want to see what it looks like.
