Ebonite Legacy
I saw the video released by Ebonite international, frankly I wasn’t really sold to this ball.
Reason being the promo video was more of a coaching video rather than a ball promo video.
So I just kept it at the back of my mind, and could not even remember what it looked like until I was at the pro shop that day, and sitting at the display near the door way was this green/brownish looking ball, screaming out to me, picked it up and saw the word “LEGACY” printed on it.
Immediately went online and did some quick specs research and found out that it actually compliments the pivot quite well with the TOTAL NV core, so I just told my ball driller to do it up like what he did to the pivot, throwing it into the machine, shining it up (without sanding down or up, just shine it up) and laying it out the same as per normal.
So far only had one game on this ball, and my I was impressed with the ball, for it being a mid end ball gives the bowlers the results of a high end ball, and it actually handled surface change quite well, for even in medium oil conditions, it shined brightly as a star.
Having the Hammer First blood, Ebonite pivot, C300 Ransom and C300 ransom demand, and with this legacy down, it actually fills the gap from mid to heavy oil, I might just punch up the freeze hybrid and the cyclone, coupled with the blue hammer urethane, taboo polyester and true blood polyester, I might actually have the whole Ebonite International umbrella arsenal, oh well maybe I will add a Track 400A with it too, I simply love the pearl white colour on the ball.

Ebonite Pivot
“The Pivot will provide great down lane continuation, and great power through the pin deck.”
How true this statement is, and it’s the first time I am seeing a ball manufacturer dare to use a south paw for a demo/sales video! Kudos to Ebonite international for this, as you made me an immediate customer even before the ball landed on the shores of Singapore. Now the thing about ball sales videos are that they are largely featuring right hander videos and us south paws will have to either imagine how it will react on the left side of the lane or find a program and mirror image the video so we can see how it looks from our side, so when Ebonite International came out with this sales video I was immediately sold to it.
Anyways back to the ball.
As usual laid out 75 x 5 x 40 for this ball and kept it oob.
1st shot out of the bag at 25-5 the ball was laboring through the midlane as there was not enough oil for it to play but surprisingly, it managed to get to the breakpoint and made the turn and continued through the deck as if it was powered by nuclear energy.
After 3 frames I have to move to the 30th board and even though there was not really enough oil, it actually went the distance.
So the next day I brought this ball back to the pro shop and had it shined up at 2000grit.
Hit the lanes again and this time round the ball came alive!
This ball with the shined up surface made me look like I was even able to conquer the Bowling US Open.
A definite must have if you are a fan of nuclear powered bowling ball.
