According to who?

Ebonite's site says GB 10.7 for the One and Phazed Bomber Reactive for the Overtime.

http://www.ebonite.com/products/product_page.php?PRKey=245

Are you saying that Phazed Bomber Reactive is the same as GB 10.7?

The cover on the Overtime is same as the XXXCEL.  Nothing like The One.

I think your source made a mistake and said the One, but it's the same as the XXXcel.

XXXcel-Phazed Bomberâ„¢ reactive sanded with 1000-grit Abralonâ„¢
Over Time- Phazed Bomber Reactive
One- GB 10.7

This is what the ebonite web site says

if all else fails, just throw it.

The One is GB 10.7
The Overtime is Phazed Bomber Reactive

I'm sure it was just a matter of the Ebonite Rep saying the wrong thing by accident, or Lonce mishearing him.  As to the breakpoint shape showing the difference, this MAY be a valid reason for the difference, but remember, the one has a factory fniish of 4000 + polish, while the overtime is dull.  Also, the One has a strong asym core, while the Overtime does not.  The Overtime coverstock may actually hook less in oil and more in dry, but the differences I mentioned may make it appear that the GB 10.7 is more skid flippy.

I was told the same thing. Just the core in the overtime is that much weaker!

I love Ebonite balls, but I would hate to think that some rep/worker is passing on wrong info or that the folks that set up the site info are misleading people. If either were the case, I'd have to rethink my use of their balls. Not that my changing companies would break them, but I just can't stand being lied to no matter what the case was.

Maybe someone from Ebonite can/will clear up the confusion.

I actually heard the same thing, supposedly it's a secret of Ebonite's, much like the V2 Sanded "secret"...

No, the Overtime has the core of the Big Time. It moves more than the one, just not as sharp.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------I second this statement. Actually its stronger than the one
