Did an EBI ball demo today.

[Jaescrub]

So as most of you know I use mostly storm equipment. Well my PSO had an EBI ball demo today 12 balls across the EBI line. I had a ton of fun. My style is a higher speed lower revs down and In. 40ft house shot.
1. Arson high flare. Clean in the front most of the motion for me came in the mid lane controlled back end. This ball was easy to read but left me little room for error.
2. C300 Urge. Moved a lot like my Mad antics. Very clean front to back lots of room to miss.
3. C300 Severe delirium. This ball moves! Lots of mid and back end hit hard.
4. Bad intentions. This was my fav out of the bunch very clean in the front and mid lane super strong back end hit hard came in like a rocket!
5.red legend solid. I liked this ball as well it was kinda like the BI just less forgiving on the miss.
6. Track paradox my least fav ball of the bad. Just felt like it was hitting light every shot.
7. Track Tour X solid strong off the dry but died out a lil to soon if I had more revs this ball would be a killer!
8 Ebo warrior I would suggest this for a starter ball. It was a good clean mix of everything a new bowler would want to see.
I had to leave early and missed out on throwing the Track Legion and Tour X, the Ebo Game beaker Gold and Adrenaline Shot. ;/

Sounds great to be able to try all those different ball! The bad intentions was one I'd like to see, too bad they didn't have the Swerve ball, that would be fun to try as well !

Who was the ball rep? I'm lucky enough that Dave Wodka is our area rep. I like the looks of the Game Breaker 2 Gold, should be a good ball for wood lanes.

I don't know we had three guys from EBI group and our PSO ran it. I just kinda showed up got fitted and let the balls fly the guys anted me to try ha ha. even worked with the bowlers. It was a great time.

Most ball reps are coaches also. Too bad you didn't have more time to work with them and try more balls!

[Jaescrub]

I was pooped! I bowled about a full game of just full racks with every ball ha ha the demo was still 3 hrs away from ending but I had other things to do. Next month he is doing Storm/Roto Grip demo I'll do that one as well. He lets me do all the demos for free this is the only one I have been able to make.

I am planning to go to a Brunswick demo day tomorrow, he is going to have the new DV8, Brunswick and Radical balls, I am looking forward to trying some of them out, mostly the Einstein, Mighty Guru, and Thug Unruly !

I wish I had remembered the names of the 3 gentlemen, but I went to a EBI ball demo at the end of July. I got to the demo right as it started and had access to all the bowling balls without having to wait for almost 2 hours. The Hammer rep got me fitted for the grips and watched me bowl for about 10 minutes before he came over and started giving me some pointers. Overall, I got to try out all the bowling balls and even got about 45 minutes of the Hammer and Track of free coaching. I wish I could've tried out the Bad Intentions. My favorites were the Black Widow Red Legend, BW Red Legend Solid, and the Track Paradox. I've been to 2 other ball demos before this one (Brunswick/DV8/Radical), but I enjoyed this one the most because of the coaching I got. A lot of useful tips.

Definitely try out the DV8 Vandal. I really didn't care for the Radical and Brunswick balls, but I did love the Vandal and I liked the Thug Corrupt. I'm in a ball league where I get 2 Brunswick/DV8/Radical balls at the end of the season. I ended up getting a Vandal for my wife and a Radical Rave for my son (I didn't care for the Rave, but my son liked it during the demo).

I love demos but you have to keep in mind that the balls usually won't be drilled to your PAP so don't be afraid to try different drillings of the same ball. Although the layout would look different on your ball you can still get a better idea of what would match up well for you.

i thought the Vandal was pretty good , really liked the Thug Corrupt and the Guru master. Really didn't like the Einstein and the Hooligan Taunt at all, the rest were ok but nothing special.

This was the first time going to a demo so just wanted to see how it works and try the balls, I can certainly see why so many people are starting to use the interchanging grip, it's a great way to have the balls fit exactly the same way.
It was also interesting to see the different bowlers and the reps had some good advice to help people out.

I love demo days. It's been a long time. I would love to try the Widow Red Legend!
