I think that one of the new ones will be the Gamebreaker Pearl. I'm sure everyone has seen this one coming, since it has been on the approved list since September of '07.
A company releases a ball, people love it, then they ask for a pearl version, after which they want a more aggressive version of the original. It is exactly what Hammer did with the Widow line, and I expect Ebonite to do the same with the Gamebreaker.

Well, that's what the ball is basically designed to do. It is a rolly piece for oily shots, arcing, smooth. Not the go-long-and-flip type. Hard to compare its reaction with a high MB BW core, or expecting something similar, despite similar coverstocks.

Besides, the Gambreaker is not marketed as a high performnace piece, so fewer players will hook blindly onto it, like the NVs or also the BWs - even though it offers very good value for the money. I guess the Gambreakers you saw were from budget players, or smart ones who know what they need on the lane

I was very very disappointed with mine.

I don't think this line is as popular as people might think.. maybe it's just not around here. I have honestly seen 4-5 Gamesbreaker in tournaments over the last few months... which is nothing compared to Complete NVs, Twisteds and Bites.. which are EVERYWHERE.

Widows are so different man.. that line itself is going to go down as one of the top 5 ball lines every produced.. Gamebreaker line will never break that boundary.


It must be your area, The Breaker is popular around here and gets a lot of attention on the forums. I love mine and it's probably one of the top 4 or 5 balls released in the past few years.

Yeah I got one of those, I was just wondering if anybody knew what was coming out and when.
Just trying to get an arsenal ready for summer tournaments.
As for the Gamebreaker, Ken Simard was throwing it last Sunday.  Can't really talk much about it though because I have never thrown one.
