Ebonite

Ebonite is adding trhe Cyclone to it's mid performabce line of equipment. Ebonite has revealed what core shape they will be using for the new Cyclone series bowling balls.
Cyclone's new "Torque" core is wrapped in the "proven and dominant "GB 10.7" coverstock.
The complete Tornado line has been discontinued and replaced by the new Cyclone series, as well as changes to their Maxim line.

the new balls look great and proform better than i had thought my pro shop guy drilled one 2 weeks ago and went 259 279 300 out of the box it was very funny beacuse when he told some people in our center was he was throwing they all said the same thing "you did that with what" but the good thing was i would say at least half of them bought one when they found out how much they cost thanks again guys great ball at a even better price.

Just wondering has anyone on here drilled a cyclone pin down under the bridge and whats the reaction been, how dif is it from the "safe" drilling i have on mine pin up over bridge.If somone has one drilled that way or close could you let me know how its working for you thanks.

I drilled one with the Pin under the ring at 4" from PAP. I find this layout better and more predictable than a Pin over layout. The ball gets through the head clean and easy. It reads the midlane and breakpoint earlier and has a more defined and predictable continuous move. I like the pin under layout better for my game with this ball. With a pin over layout on this ball for me I found it a little squirty at times.

thank you sir i think thats how im going to drill mine thats how my proshop owner drilled his and he loves the ball.

This newby is baffled about the purpose, cause or basis of the peculiar RG differential rating of the 10 pound Cyclone. A value of .02 is shown for this weight but about .05 for the other weights. Maybe these aspects are of general knowledge with others, so maybe just a referral to a link will provide easy explanations. Is this 10 pound ball intended for picking up spares??

When you get below a certain weight in a ball which is usually below 12 pounds, the weight block changes from the core that is in the 12-16 pounds to a Pancacke core design whis is different. It is like a flat disc at the top of the ball just below the cover. This Pancack core is what changes the Diff and RG of the ball from the other weights

Roger that neat clarification of the website statement of - - "The Cyclone Core has the same core in 10lbs through 16lbs." Not sure this was known in having received a suggestion of the 10 pound Cyclone for use by a family member. Very glad that I inquired here. Now it does seem no surprise there would be some low weight limit to the use of the same core. Perhaps we will settle by using the 12 pound offering, TBD. Thanks.

The innner core may be the same in the ball in 10 lbs. but the outer core might not be as dense though. There has to be a difference in order for the RG and Diff to be different.

That aspect is more or less the theme of my initial inquiry as to the structural and/or performance consequences relating to the pecular change in the RG diff for the 10 pounder. By pecular I refer to the jump from .059 for the 11 pound ball to .020 for the 10 pounder. The RG Rating for these two balls also makes a move of a rather high value. Maybe it would be more ideal to find a bowler with consistent technique to report actual results with the 10 pounder. Perhaps this could be better than trying to guess about the possible consequences for these values. Anyone have ideas of a good approach to unveiling these mysterys??

I love the different color variations on this bowling ball. The Cyclone gets through the heads very clean and has a great flip on the back end. I tend to use the ball when the lanes have broken down and I need something to clear the burn area on the heads. My only problem is that by being a down and in player, I tend to leave quite a few corner pins. However, as the lanes tend to open up, my carry percentage is increased.

This ball is a great asset to a bowler's arsenal - especially when bowling a tournament where the heads can burn really fast.

Did you know that certain colors make the ball hook more than others?
I believe the original mission was red because it hooked the most

its not quite that simple, but on that cover, red made it hook the most
