So I bought a bowling ball at Dicks. It's called an Ebonite Crush/R.

Here is the only information I've been able to find about it.

From what I have seen, the Crush/R was a ball that was popular ball in the 90's. When I took it to the Pro Shop to have it drilled, the guy was very puzzled because he hadn't seen one of these in a long time. He said it had the new Ebonite logo on it, so it had to be new.

He said, based on it's appearance, that it seems to be a rebadging of the Cyclone made especially for Dicks.

The "specs" on this ball are sparse on the Dicks website. Anybody know anything about these?

The Org. Crush/R came out in the 90's, Those are a remake and don't look like the org. did. The Org Crush/r had a Pancake/Puck weight block (The crush/r solid had a pear shaped core) by today's standards it would be a light oil ball maybe a medium. It would depend on the bowler etc.

It would be something along the lines of a Slingshot, Tornado, Cyclone.
