minimum bob-
 Yes, I'm sure it was a Magnum 12...almost purple, kinda magenta-ish. I gave mine to a friend in a couples league, and he still uses it.

The Magnum 11 (it was orange), the ball Earl Anthony made famous in the late 70's.


Drbob - that may have been the magnum 10 (not sure).  The magnum 11 is a dark olive-green ball.  urethane rubber.  I still use one. its drilled for my left hand and stil has some pop on drier lanes.

Had a few, but haven't added to my Ebonite collection in a while. Still have a Lion, LM Omega, and Blue Omega, the Turbo X, Crush R, my 1st Lion and Tidal Wave have been and gone. Turbo X was one of the more 'dart and dive' balls i had, the Crush/R could 10 pin you to death and the Tidal Wave got booted by all my Track stuff. The Lion i have now is my main leauge ball, my LM and Blue Omegas just returned to the bag( i love the big swinging arc reaction you get from a shiny LM) putting them in order from best to worst makes it

Lion(2nd one)
LM Omega
Lion(1st one)
Tidal Wave
Omega
Crush/R
Turbo X(i've had a few worse than that, not a bad ball, just bottom of my Ebonites)

i really liked the tomahawk hi torque, but as for any other big e ball, every one has been a stinker.

FAV: HAs to be the Tiger what a roll and so predictable.

Least: Apex Reflex  was awsome at first then just got so unpredictable.

Also so you know i bowl nothing but Ebonite have a Apex Adrenlaine, Predator Jungle, Predator Sparkle, Tidal wave, Tornado Warning, and Gyro 1. Also have a Ebonite 4 ball roller. I know i have a problem but hey!

I can honestly say that I have never liked an ebonite ball before...  so I don't have a favorite.  Here is a list of the ones I hav owned and disliked:

V2 sanded
Apex Intensity
Apex Agression
TPC Player


Actually, now that I think about it, I did have an original Turbo X that I liked...  probably just because it was the first resin ball I ever owned and was a vast improvement over urethane.
