I have been away from bowling for a while and just started subbing on a league. I went to get my balls ready to go bowl and low and behold everyone of them had cracked except for ultimate inferno and global900 link. So I am looking for something that is similar to the original mission and Gravity Shift. Dont care about the other balls that cracked as the two mentioned were my fav's.

I would say the challenge and a shined lucid...

I would agree with the Challenge, though I may also say the Champion, from what I've seen of it.

Both the Challenge and Champion took technology in from what Ebonite was successful with before, with the One, Total and Complete NV, Mission, etc., in both core and coverstock. That's what makes the Challenge a killer yet underrated ball.

Personally, as I have both, I would think that the Challenge is a hell of a lot stronger than the original Mission. The original Mission was nice, angular, and smooth, while the Challenge turns and goes and keeps on going. The Champion is more of a pearl version of the Champion, but again, I haven't seen it thrown yet, and Ebonite's video of it leaves a lot to be desired.

I'd say either a polished up Challenge, or Champion in addition to that shined up Lucid.
