Anybody know anything yet?

Just my opinion here but I would think that they need to try to replicate the Purple. If they can duplicate it that will likely go a long way and the price of the remaining few to be found would drop.  Show that you can't duplicate it and you'll see even more people run to storm and motiv. Try to avoid balls previously made by EBI and it'll look like you give up on trying to make the same or better quality.

But they also have to worry about overlap as well, because there were urethane Rhinos, Phantoms, and the like that Brunswick already has available or can easily reproduce. While I get that it is brand specific, I could see where some things could fall by the wayside, but not others, especially if it is one of the most popular balls EBI has produced.

I see a lot of potential, but will be interested to see how what Brunswick can do with that potential will be implemented.

I agree. Does one company need 7 or 8 similar pieces? Probably not. Probably why EBI didn't have any current urethane in the Track, Columbia or Ebonite lines.  I should stay out of the discussion really.  Other than wanting to try a Quantum Bias Pearl and having some old Hammers most of what I throw is from Utah.

Figuring out balls will be the easy part. 

Try coming up with names and colors for 7 different brands.

It's the new Teal Black Widow Platinum Phantom Pro! With its sister ball, the Raw Bad No Mercy Thug Intentions Zone!

Aww c'mon, we gotta have some fun with this one!

They should drop DV8. That could free up a little creative time and administrative time. The rest of the brands have actual recognizable history behind them.

+1.  That brand has some decent balls but have such a negative opinion of the marketing I generally don't pay much attention.  Pretty telling how I have a ton of  Brunswick and even a fair amount of Radical but like one DV8 ball which picked up on sale due to word of mouth.  Kind of meh too so yeah DV8 not on my radar at all.

Steven, say 'Hello'.

If you don't hear an echo, you're okay.   : )

We might have our first look. On the approved list today

Hammer Fugitive
Hammer Redemption Solid
Hammer Redemption Pearl
Ebonite Allure

Assuming the Ebonite Omni Solid got sent overseas like the pearl

Time to have a look overseas, especially since one distributor over there just advertised new MoRich balls coming to their shops... 

BL.

The Redemption Solid screams Hammer with bold orange, black, and white colors and extremely aggressive ball motion. The Redemption Solid flat out hooks and needs a lot of oil as the cover and finish are as strong as the Hammer line has ever seen. The new Redemption core also has strong numbers for more overall hook. If that doesn’t excite you enough, the Redemption core also has DOT, which, of course, allows you to drill anywhere and makes these tough balls even tougher. Along with DOT is an orange inner core and the outer core is infused with carbon fiber.

The Redemption Pearl goes long and finishes strong! The Aggression NE Pearl cover makes its way through the heads easily and has a sharp breakpoint. Hammerheads will love the Redemption Pearl when the Redemption Solid has burned up the lane and you need a high-end ball to get down there and deliver big backend motion and devastating hitting power.

The Fugitive is Hammer’s newest mid-performance release. This delivers with a strong skid-flip motion and works excellent on broken down lanes. The Fugitive’s red and silver colors pop going down the lane, especially when it makes the turn at the breakpoint. The Fugitive features a Hammerhead favorite, Juiced Pearl, and a new low RG and high Differential symmetric core. Fugitive also has an orange core and carbon fiber outer to keep those Hammer fans happy!

Omni is the newest addition to the Ebonite line up. All our testers loved the Omni for its versatility. It reminded everyone of the famous V2, not only because of the familiar black and blue colors, but the usability it provides on so many conditions for many styles. The Omni core is a new asymmetric shape for the Ebonite line, and the outer core has the proven DynamiCore technology for more power at impact. Ebonite fans will love that the Omni uses characteristics of the popular GSV 2.0 cover.

There is plenty to be attracted to when talking about the new Ebonite Allure. The Allure features the new symmetric Allure core shape with great numbers for strong mid-lane and continuation along with DynamiCore. Allure is a shiny pearl that uses a new version of the proven Traxion cover. Allure was a favorite among all testers and will make its way into lots of bags this season.

Buddies Pro Shop already has these balls along with the core shapes and specs on their site.
