Ebonite Blue Wolf Replacement
« on: September 10, 2016, 12:46:24 PM »
The Ebonite Blue Wolf. Looks like an Asym Solid. I'm trying to help my buddy figure out what ball in today's lineup from any manufacturer would be a good replacement for his very very aging Blue Wolf. He loves how smooth, heavy rolling, and predictable it is. It's in that range where he can play 15 out to 10 on wood and up 10 on synthetics and carry for all 3 games of league. He throws around 15 mph with little tilt, more end over end, and about 30 degrees of rotation.

He doesn't buy a lot of balls as you can tell he's still rocking this oldie so more middle of the road versatile ball is key. He still manages to average 200 on both wood and synthetic house shots with this ball and a Brunswick Power Groove Urethane for spares.

Any thoughts on a replacement are welcomed as I'm trying to help him out. Currently looking at the Hammer Dark Legend. I figured a MH oil Hybrid Asym would be a smooth hop.
Current Rotation:
PhysiX
Code X
Code Black
Axiom Pearl
Phaze III
Trend
IQ Tour

I think the coverstock strength in the mid performance range will be more then plenty. Easy to make surface adjustments from there as needed. Lot of great choices out there.

By replacement are you wanting the ball to roll like the Blue Wolf currently does?

If that is the case I'd look at something in the mid performance range that in most brands is a symmetric core ball. Adjust surface as needed.

Ebi GB2 series,  Columbia Side swipe/ delirium line,  Brunswick all purpose series,  Storm Thunder series etc.



ignite, that is the first question I always ask when someone wants to replace an aging ball.  Based on what has been said, I will be that Motiv guy and suggest the Venom Shock.  Great all around ball and even rolling with surface.
