i found an original Turbo X in my garage today and was lookin to see if it was still approved for use on the pba and found some new balls approved today!!
thought id share with the ebonite peeps here.
Big Time Pearl navy/silver pearl
Crossfire red/gold
Nitro R2 - classic purple
Puma - classic black/gold
V2 Power purple/teal/red
XXXcel black/purple/magenta
theres also some new colors for the Tornado's/T-warning's/Maxim's
doesnt say anything on Ebonite's website, but perhaps some people on here might have some inside info.
would be nice to see some resin stuff come out after the last few particle releases

Yea, have overheard rumors and talk about some of these, but nothing substantial until now. Can't wait to see specs on the Black Ice and the Big Time Pearl...Love the Ice and want to fit into a Big Time

I thought that was the Nacion's Zone #17? Did them Ebonite people get permission from Big B to use the name? Will have to check the website once pics are up to see how they look....then again we will probably have them show up in the shop in the next week or so.

Of the 7 balls listed in this forum 6 are Reactive. You will begin to see more reactive balls come from Ebonite in the near future, thanks to some recent advancements in coverstock technology.
The BIG TIME and XXcel were just the beginning.
I thought the Big Time was a low-load particle ball, not resin.

brunswicks version is called "Danger Zone Black Ice" not "Black Ice" therefor they are not the same name.

i need some new Resin stuff, the particle is great, but my speed/revs dont work too well on my carry with particle. so i always seem to use the v2, clean and xcel pearl

So here's the question...the Black Ice, will it hook more or less than the original Ice? Probably more, because that foreshadows the Dry Ice, for drier conditions...at least in theory, who knows, but i'd say i'm VERY interested in the Black Ice

i agree ^...i also cant wait to hear some information on the XXXcel. Ive thrown the Xcel particle, XXcel, and if this XXXcel is particle too, then i can only imagine what a monster this ball will be. What cover/core combo will ebonite think of next!!??!!??!???!!

i hope the XXXcel will be a resin ball. the big time sounds like it will be a low load pearl particle similar to the Game Time cover.

The Big Time already is a low-load particle ball, though not a pearl I think. Tommy Jones has won about 600 tournaments with it.

But if they didn't change the core wouldn't they just be remaking the Game Time? BTM considers the Game Times cover to be particle pearl, even if it doesn't appear to be very pearl.
My guess is that is pearl reactive...

I'm a huge ebonite fan. I just drilled me up a new XXcel and I tell you what I am so impressed I thought this ball would be too much hand for me but after thinking about how to drill it and tame it down for me.. I tell you what I want to go out and get a Xcel Pearl and with the edition of the XXXcel coming out I will have one of those the day it comes out. I think ebonite is the company of the future and one day I hope I can be sponsored by this company cause this company is number one and with these balls coming out they will show why.

I don't, just an educated guess & logical reasoning.
5.New xxxcel has about same specs as xxcel. Dif is .075 same as xxcel.
6.Logical conclusion xxxcel same core as xxcel with solid resin coverstock.
Not positive, but that is my logical conclusion. Time will tell!

If it's .075, then its illegal isn't it? I thought that the USBC changed it to .06
-
The rule went into affect Feb. 1st of this year, so the it can't be more than .60

To my knowledge, the XXXcel was release AFTER the Feb.1st deadline, so it should not have a diff. greater than .60

I was wondering is this XXXcel going to be a pearlized ball that is coming out or are they sticking with the dull look on this ball. I'm hoping its pearlized...cause I will have one on order as soon as I talk to my distrubter...
