mumzie: You generally provide an educated outlook and opinion on various topics, so for you to dismiss Ebonite without experiencing the product (the Maxim doesn't count) is surprising.
A few years ago, I too had your thoughts about Ebonite -- had never owned one but I dismissed them anyway. So to settle my opinion one way or another, I bought one.
I started with the Navy Stinger, and found Ebonite offered something not available from anyone else -- a low-end ball that actually hits. Then I bought a Tiger, and found it to be a better Eraser than an Eraser. I've been smitten with the company since.
I've owned probably 15 different Ebonite balls, and they haven't all been perfect. No company has a 100% perfect track record. I can say that because I also throw Track, Columbia, Storm, Lane#1, and Brunswick.
But Ebonite has produced some really good balls over the past few years. To not take a chance and try them out amounts to limiting you horizons.
