Need some suggestions for replacing an Ebonite One Pearl.  Thanks

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.

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.
