Just wanting to get some feedback on my purchase of a Ebonite Predator 16#. I have never used a ball like this one before. I currently use a Hammer 16#, older ball.
Thanks for any info,
Matt

Those are some reviews on the ball. Looks light a light load particle. I'm sure you could use it for heavier oil depending on the surface and drilling.

Hammerhead in the making.

Did you buy the sanded or sparkle Predator?

User Katel has both of them (you might PM him for details?); here my impressions when I saw him use both and tested both for some shots some time ago:
The Red Sanded Predator is an "old school" particle ball; OOB matte (800 grit?), solid reactive base, porous like a sponge. Great on heavy oil - REAL heavy oil!
The Red Sparkle is a particle pearl, with PET sparkles (was flashy in those days). Comes polished, if I remember correctly. Very even reaction, IMHO much like a today's sheen solid reactive - easy to read on medium to medium-heavy shots OOB.
Both surely are not state-of-the-art anymore, but good balls, especially the Red Sparkle. The Red Sanded is more a niche product when anything else would swim...
