There's a silver/blue pearl reminiscent of the old vortex 2 pearl color scheme being thrown a lot by the staffers on Cheetah yesterday. Not sure what it could be.

The MVP is what most of the EBI staffers are tossing.

The GB2 MVP ball is one of 6 new balls coming from the Ebonite Brand along with a Paradox Pearl and a new Widow after the first of the year.

The MVP is more angular on the backend versus the GB2 Gold which was smoother and better on flatter patterns.

Will the GB2 MVP be more angular than the Ebonite Playmaker?

The ball mentioned is the Adrenaline Overload. Looked impressive.

Just got the email blast on both balls. The MVP looks like it would be a good benchmark ball, easily slotting between the GB2 and GB2 Gold. GB2 would still look to be the stronger of the three, but I can easily see this and Hammer's Arson High Flare solid being good benchmark balls to compare against. They both easily could see tournament play at Nationals.

Youtube videos are also up, on Ebonite's channel.

I would say so. This ball looks really versatile. I'll back that up by attaching two demo videos. the first is from Matt Gasn, on Ebonite's youtube channel:


typical movement, pitch and recovery that you'd expect from a ball that could be used as a benchmark ball.

Now, compare that to Kuniyuki Nonoyama, over at Star Legend's channel:


Again, I know that layout is a big factor in this, but you can definitely see how versatile this ball is, especially compared to the GB2 Gold.
