Ebonite man

Just got a flyer from my home house saying they are changing the lane beds putting in a new synthetic surface. I guess this is the latest and greatest from Brunswick. The claim is the ball reaction should be much cleaner and consistent. If this is true, this will be a welcome change to years past. The question now is do I still use the old Ebonite equipment or go back to the Storm/Roto Grip. I haven't been able to get out and practice for over a month now and wasn't planning to until the week before league started. May have to find time to get out and see how this surface reaction is different, if at all. Don't want to get burned like last season with waffling between which equipment I was going to use. I probably will also have to throw out all the scouting reports I've done on each pair since this most certainly will be different. Makes for a very interesting start to the 2011-2012. Next post will be on my first practice session on the new surface.
