I was burned too many times with EBI stuff. ..for me is was the weird stuff. Had every black widow and the taboo..I could not get the gas mask core to carry. I spent my money, way more than anyone would believe. I also invested in track when they got bought out. Now those rolled great...I just never shot anything big. Ebonite was flop after flop. How bad is thier line over the past 10 years if you take out the just thr total nv, and the red mission? Not so great. I wont even start on Columbia 
Lessee.. Total NV = 11 in a row, 298.
Complete NV = 300 game/797 series.
Ebonite Undefeated Fire = 11 in a row, 298, 780 series.
Ebonite Mission Domination = 300 game, 794 series, big 4.
I could go further back with my Optyx and TPC Warrior, but it's safe to say that just because it didn't work for you doesn't mean that their balls are crap, when others were shooting honour scores with it.
That being said, Kentucky is making some seriouly appealing products right now. I think I would enjoy having a half track half hammer arsenal, but utah is making me saty for sure .. cell rerelease are you crazy?
Now, in that time, I did move from Ebonite to Hammer, so I'm still mixed between the two, but the First Blood and Absolut Curve are killer balls. Moderate success for me with the Challenge, though I'm looking to replace it with a Cold Blood, while the Pivot and Legacy still have my attention. My telling lack is that no-one in my area is throwing Ebonite gear. Hammer/Track/C300, yes; but not Ebonite specifically, except me. Vegas, it's all over the place.. just not NorCal.
BL.
