Title: Ebonite Tiger

I've got a friend who have one of these undrilled (not sure about weight and PIN) and my question to the Ebonite guru's is on what conditions could it be used today?

Light bulb core with a pearl coverstock. Nice smooth arc. Pretty mellow by today's standards.

 

Jeff Carter used this ball (and some others) to set the all-time USBC average of 261.**

 

I liked mine so much that I had 2 of them and wore them out. If you weren't in Sweden, I would try and offer a NIB trade for your buddy's ball!

For me the ball is good for up to medium volumes/medium length patterns.  I still have mine.  I'm a 300rpm/15-16mph bowler.

 

something that might be of interest... have around2800 games on it.

DARK BEER IT IS THEN!

Loved my tiger great for Medium to Medium dry conditions. Great length and good recovery. Wouldnt mind getting another one for me arsenal.
