Question
« on: July 05, 2003, 05:48:33 AM »
I was thinking to changing all my equipment into Ebonite stuff.  I was woundering if I should. I was really into Storm and Dyno-Thane stuff until I started using the Obsession. Should I make the change?

One year ago at this time I was throwing a mix of Columbia and Storm and made the change to Ebonite when I started throwing the Matrix Dynasty and original Stinger Pearl.  In a span of 10 months I went all ebonite while going through 2 stinger low flares, 3 stinger 2 piece pearls, 2 v2 particles, a Tiger, Optyx F1 and Matrix Trimax 3.  Only the last three balls still remain in my bag at the moment, only for practicing purposes since I am slowly converging to Track equipment with a mixture of ebonite balls for my drier conditions.  It is worth it as I think alot of their balls add a more controlled read than other companies, but right now with their lineup I don't see alot of options in the Pearlized Reactive category like they've had in the past with many pearlized resins that gave different looks(ie. Warrior is a much different shape hook than the V2 Pearl, which is much different than the savage pearl, while all three give a different hook shape than the Savage Flip).  And while they seem to be shifting their focus to making good particle balls there has been a shift from controllable resin solids even though the V2 is still in the lineup(Shooter is still there, as well as the Savage but neither have the versatility of the Stinger Sanded and V2).  

All in all I would add more Ebonite balls if I were you with a mixture of the equipment that you have now, or ask a pro shop operator or your coach to look at your lineup and see where everything fits in.
