A Bold Leap Forward while Looking at the Past! 

Announcing the Ebonite Turbo X—a bold leap forward while looking at the past! We went into the archives to reimagine the very first reactive ball Ebonite ever created, and we’ve returned with an updated version that’s once again ahead of its time. The Turbo X keeps the original core shape simple and effective, but with a game-changing update: instead of a thick shell, we’ve wrapped the Turbo core in DynamiCore for increased durability and performance. This method allows for stronger core numbers, ensuring the Turbo X exceeds expectations on today’s lane conditions. And the most significant upgrade? The cover. We’ve fused Ebonite’s proven GB 10.7 Solid coverstock with the HK22 base to deliver a reaction that meets the needs of modern bowlers. The Ebonite Turbo X isn’t just a ball—it’s a piece of bowling history redefined.

Turbo X is back!

The Turbo X is back. What can be said about this iconic bowling ball. With an overhaul to the construction; this ball provides that same motion on the lanes in the current environment. Out of box this ball provides excellent predictable motion and is ideal for medium/lighter oil; typically house shot conditions. At 1500 grit and 2.517 RG, it gets thru the front really nice giving you a skid/flip motion, storing its energy for the backend. I found that straighter angles worked best for this ball. Don’t be afraid to alter the surface. I would think at 1000 grit, the ball could substitute as a benchmark piece. Pick one up today and enjoy this iconic Ebonite ball.

Ebonite Turbo X

Many, many moons ago I was bowling in a US Open qualifier. Circa 1992. I was wrenching on my favorite Blue Hammer and could barely get it to wrinkle. A gentleman on the pair next to me was throwing the first ever Reactive bowling ball, the Ebonite Turbo X. Long story short, he won the tournament by a lot, and everyone was scrambling to buy a Turbo X. I drilled the new version recently and it has quickly become one of my favorite pieces. It is very clean through the fronts and mids and has a strong rounded motion down lane. Much like the 1992 version, it strikes a lot. It passes the eye test. I like it

Turbo X Great for Medium/Light Oil

The Turbo X is a great addition to my bag due to the out of box surface of 1500 SiaAir finished with Factory Compound this ball is great for medium/lighter oil. I have used this ball on a shorter pattern and was able to have it glide through the oil and make a predictable and strong movement to the pocket. With the box finish the ball is very clean through the heads with a strong motion to the pocket. I did not own the original Turbo but this one is a great solid to add to my bag that provides length and finish and a cover that can be adjusted for earlier traction.

Super turbo

This bowling ball is much stronger than the original. I am very surprised how much down lane motion it has. An absolutely treat in your bag

Ebonite Turbo X

I've had a chance to punch a couple of the new Turbo X remakes by Ebonite. Back in the day, notwithstanding how popular they were, I had never drilled one. So, I was quite eager to drill the remake Turbo X. The Turbo X features the same symmetrical Turbo core found in the original. The coverstock has been updated to handle today's oils/volumes. The remake Turbo X features a purple solid GB 10.7 solid cover with the HK-22 base. Box surface is 1500 Siaair finished with Factory Compound. The Turbo X featured here has a 50 x 4 x 25 layout. I've tried it on fresh and leftover THS as well as fresh 2025 PBA Shark (with an obvious surface adjustment)

The stated goal was to recreate the original Turbo X motion for today's conditions. Ebonite was seeking to create a quicker response piece for medium to lighter volumes. I honestly have no basis for comparison to the original. So, I can only judge the remake Turbo X based on what I see in the present. That being said, I was very impressed with what I saw. Our lane surface, given its age and condition, has tons of built in friction. Yet, the Turbo X glides through the front and does show a quick downlane response with the ball splitting the 8-9 going through the pins. So, for medium to lighter volume patterns or broken down patterns at box surface, the Turbo X is absolutely in play. However, I also got to try the Turbo X on our PBA sport league pattern for practice, fresh 2025 version of Shark. As the Turbo X was the only ball I had with me, I had to find a way to make it work. Interestingly, with an aggressive surface prep coupled with my lower ball speed, the Turbo X looked really good on Shark! I was pleasantly surprised as I wasn't sure the core/cover would match up on a longer, high volume sport pattern. The Turbo X reminds me of a Hammer Vibe (and most know how much I loooooove Vibes ) but with a little stronger, more responsive cover. In the end, I truly like what I see with the Turbo X and they have already earned a place in my bags.

The Ebonite Turbo X is now released and readily available. Please see your local pro shop for more information.
