i have been out of the bowling loop for a while. it has been about 13 years. the last ball i bought was a nitro. i have been a big fan of ebonite's products for ever. all bowling balls i have ever had have been made by them. i just wanted to get some feed back on good bowling balls out now. i throw 3rd dot 2nd arrow. not a crazy hook. i have always struggled on oily lanes. by the time i'm done moving around i am throwing the straight ball. i'm looking for a ball that works well in oil and isn't too out of control. if i could get some feedback that would be great!

a lot of ppl seem to like the total nv, but i dont see what all the hype is about.  if you are open to other companies. the cell is good from roto-grip.  the levrg from morich. the momentum from columbia.

A lot has changed in 13 years.  I'd recommend a ball that is smooth, controllable, versatile, but strong.  If you want Ebonite, the Gamebreaker should be exactly what you need.

I would suggest a Gamebreaker as a nice starter ball...handles oil and also is not too sensitive.

Don't be afraid to try The Break its a great ball!!!
