What ball is like the ICE
« on: December 10, 2005, 11:21:19 AM »
Hello ebonite fans. I ohave a ebonite ice the light blue one got it last year for a christmas gift and I love it to death. This is my go to ball and I have my high series with this ball. I am going to buy like 2-3 more of them and save them for later. What I want to know what is what other ebointe balls would be like this ball but for oil? I was thinking that stinger low flare particle if I can find one. Please someone let me know thanks.

The Black Ice hooks more as it has a more agressive cover.  With a change in surface prep it could probably work for you.

Look at stuff with the same coverstock as the Ice. If you like it that much. I would suggest a XXcel or something like that in the Ebonite line for oil though. JMO

Nitro r^2 remake.  My friend has the ice and the nitro and I see the same motion out of both of them.  The nitro being a few feet earlier and a few more boards overall.

Look for a Tidalwave, or Tidalwave Wipeout.  They are solids and can be polished or dulled as needed.  If you really like the more pearl type cover, then look for a Tidalwave Wipeout Sparkle.  They are discontinued and hard to find, but if you do find one they will be worth the purchase.

Absolutely serious.  Plus the older coverstocks didn't go away like the new ones today.  The wipeout and wipeout sparkle are asymetrical cores too.  And they have a rounder column core then the Ice, but similar.  The Wave wasn't that good, nor was the Riptide.  The newer Stingers (not the old navy Stinger) are also similar.  The green pearl low flare Stinger comes to mind.

ya the low flare is similar to the Ice but I am looking similar to the ice but for more oil. I was thinking the stinger low flare particle if I can find one would that work.

If it's the cover you like about it, the V2 Sanded is the same Trimax. The Power is a bit more aggressive in oil, but overall heavy side of medium, IMO, can't beat a XXcel, as Ebonite goes. JMO

The Tidalwave Wipeout is a more powerful ball then then Ice, with a significant amount of backend.  Dulled or polished to low grit, it will handle a good amount of oil.  And though the new Stingers have that Ice column, the old ones didn't and were very skid flippy with a high rg.
