Ebonite PLAYMAKER WHY ALL THE HYPE?

[Pinkingz Bowling T's]

Why are so many people buying this ball all of a sudden? The ebonite playmaker has been on the bowling scene since JULY 3rd 2008. If you go to any bowling alley across the country this bowling ball seems to be popping up more & more. What is it about this ball?

More than likely it's the 'cover & core' matchup. Core is the proven V2 core and cover comes from 'The One' (GB10.7 if i'm not mistaken). Combined they give a really nice look on the lanes. Especially with the THS. Ebonite has the Pin Slasher with identical numbers, but it has the cover from the Infinite One (GB12.7). This ball should handle more oil than the Playmaker and also provide stronger, continuous move on the backend.

One other note, Playmaker has 'shelf appeal' (i.e. color) and some probably seen it thrown on TV (Ken Simard - high rev player)
