All i gotta say is WOW.  First off i went to their first Demo Day earlier this year in April and i had a blast but it didnt compare in the slightest to the one i just got back from tonight.  The List of balls they had and that i threw was unreal.  

Heres the list of what they had :

Ebonite : NVD,Playmaker,The One(remake),Complete NV
Columbia 300: Noize, Momentum Swing, Momentum, Wrath DeadFlush, Arch Rival
Track : Kinetic Pearl, Kinetic Energy, UpRising, Tantrum
Hammer : Emerald Vibe, Black Widow Venom, RawHammer Psycho, Black Widow Bite

I threw most of the list i just presented and was very impressed with the balls i did throw. Heres a short review on all the balls i threw and a simple over all opinion of the ball.

NVD - Super strong, early read, continuous rolling backend. UNREAL.

Playmaker - Great midlane, strong smooth rolling move off the break.
 
The One - Strong controllable continuous backend.

Noize - decent midlane read,semi strong rolling move to the pocket. Didnt like

Kinetic Pearl - Great midlane, Unreal hold before the ball gets to the breakpoint, Strong but controllable Flip at the break, Hit like a truck. Great Midpriced ball.

Tantrum - Very strong flippy at the break point, good midlane. Super Strong Shiny SOLID.

UpRising - Incredible hold, great midlane, Hard arcing backend thats controllable.

Emerald Vibe - Superior midlane, Nice little snap on the backend, for a low end mid price ball.

Black Widow Venom - First 8 shots with this ball all Flush Strikes, Ball has excellent recovery, Very strong angular move off the dry. Unbelieveable.

Psycho - Good midlane, great length, hard arching controllable backend flipish arc. Impressed much.

Finally the staff review of the workers of the Demo Day.

The operators of the Demo Day were great again.  This one seemed to be alot better of a showcase of the products that the Ebonite family produces. Doug Kent and Dino Castillo were also a highlight of the showcase by helping out those who asked for and wanted advice on any thing and every thing bowling.

The Buddies Proshop staff were the best part of the Demo Day because since my friend and i both got balls drilled from them they seem like an awesome bunch.  They were so knowledgeable about any questions you had for them.  

Over all this day was a day i will never forget.

This Demo Day was awesome. Like Joe mentioned, he and I went to the one this past April, which was very packed, and not as enjoyable as this one, since it was too crowded. Buddies had great prices there, many things to choose from, and just an overall great staff. I'll give the lowdown on everything:

Staff: The Brand Managers I met were a class act. They were some of the nicest people you can imagine. I personally spoke a lot with Jeff Ussery, and with Jeff, you can't get much better than him. The Buddies Pro Shop staff were also some of the best people you can meet. They would either start a fun conversation with you, or get in depth over a certain ball with you. Great service they provide!

Equipment: Now, ball-wise, I didn't really throw much. I wasn't interested in anything from Columbia, so I didn't even touch any of their equipment. My body was pretty beat up from the 22nd, so I wasn't exactly 100% and didn't want to waste my energy on something I wasn't interested in. Anyways, I started off throwing the Ebonite PlayMaker. That ball had a lot of length, and once it read the dry, it just stood up. It didn't exactly move like a normal pearl, which was interesting. I then switched to the Ebonite One re-make, which was surfaced at 4000 abralon (OOB), and that ball I got to the pocket with very consistantly, but left a lot of 10's. Oh well. Good reaction at least. Then, I went on to throw a Hammer Pyscho. The Pyscho was close to the PlayMaker. Easy length for a pearl, then just kind of stood up and made a gradually hard move to the pocket, with great carry. Moving along to the Hammer Black Widow Venom now. I don't know what people are saying about the Venom not hooking, because for me, the Venom was SUPER strong. It was very oil allergic, but once you play it out into the dry, it always bounced back. I was throwing over 5th arrow out between 5-10 with great success and huge backend flip. The Track Tantrum I threw was just so strong. I could barely get it down the lane at all, then it just flew on the backend. It reacted quite like a pearl, but it's solid, I guess.

Overall: I'm happy. This was a great experience, and I would never want to pass up this chance. I loved it, and ended up even happier here...
