Honestly won't happen . . especially because the ball out of the box probably reacted nothing like how it currently reacts, which makes it difficult to compare.  However, the Ebonite Cyclone is basically a pearl version of The One, albeit with a few small tweaks, but it's going to be about the closest you're going to get. 
What would you be if you were attached to another object by an inclined plane, wrapped helically around an axis?

I've been trying to replace mine for 2 years and haven't had much luck. Luckily for me I have an undrilled one that's getting holes within the next month. The closest I've come to a replacement is an innovate, but that ball is much weaker, less versatile and doesn't rev up as early. The source is a really good ball too if you want to stay in the Ebonite family.

Lomar Bowling had a special pour of a custom ball that might work called The Undefeated. It has the core of The One with the coverstock of the original Mission.

I would say a Cyclone with a strong drilling/weight hole, and different surface (1500/Polish comes to mind) than factory. I think that should be close. Especially on a THS league shot.
