Comments about Ebonite Mission $250K:

i throw my ball hard, 25-27mph, and with alot of rev's. i stand around the 22nd board and throw between the 4 and 5 boards. they say the ball will go long and turn hard and that is exactly what it does. shot a 300 and a 814 series. best ball i have owned to date.

Comments about Ebonite Mission $250K:

When I first got this ball i shot a 244. Then as time went on it changed my game up soo much. I went into a slump using this ball. It always gave me an over/under reaction no matter the condition. It was the first ball I used in league/tournaments and within 2 minutes of practice it went away. I got rid of it, and my scores went way back up for me.

Comments about Ebonite Mission $250K:

i have bowled for 13 years won many tournements and have dominated the lanes for a very long time this ball allows me to get the big break and it rolls long and strong and hits like a tank you have to be dead on accuracy wise or your out of luck if you cant hit your mark every ball of every game then the 250K is not for you

Comments about Ebonite Mission $250K:

I had a 45 x 5.5" x 45 layout put into this ball. This puts the pin right above my middle finger...I'm right handed too. I went right down the street to bowl on a fresh Nationals shot and I had a 277 my first game and ended with a 756 for my first three games. Ball goes down and LEFT! I liked the 3000 factory surface but I wanted it to pick up a little sooner so I took it to 2000 and now I absolutely love this ball. I've found that with this ball I cannot use it on a typical house shot. If your center puts out more oil then this ball would work great there. I'm looking forward to using this at the Greater Iowas this year because I know this ball will hook no matter what the lane conditions may be.

Tried this ball in league on a free demo night. Shot 267 the 1st game and purchased that night. I carry a 200 average but since I got the 250K my average is up to 218 and it just hits like a truck.

BEST BALL ON THE MARKET

Comments about Ebonite Mission $250K:

I got this ball drilled today. Pin under my ring finger with the cg kicked out about 45 degrees, maybe a tad bit more. Kept the out of box surface and shot a 300, 276, and a 257 for an 833 series. The best ball i have thrown in my life. The coverstock gives this ball great natural length and the back end enables you to open up the lane like no other ball can. great ball for any bowler.

Comments about Ebonite Mission $250K:

this balls the best ball ebonites released since the evolve. I drilled mine with the medium rg strong symetric layout and the results are endless. this ball is so much better than my mission and my 2.o because of this I threw them away and moved on. my first week bowling with it I shot about 4 700s. the bakend is so intense and because of the layout I can play with it inside or outside. I would definitly recommend this ball to anyone.

Comments about Ebonite Mission $250K:

My 2.0 performed so well that when I saw they came out with the $250K, I had to "upgrade". The ball is a garbage. With the 2.0 any shot on the right side of the lane will hit the pocket. I expected the same with a little stronger pin action. The $250K however does not give the same leeway that the 2.0 does. you have to be dead on your mark for the pocket. And even then it leaves 10's a lot. Even worse, I have to move my feet 5 boards in to get it to hook in the pocket while throwing to the same mark. In other words, less hook. I did shoot a 279 game with a 767 series the first night I used it, but quickly got in to a slump while trying to get it to work for me. Finally just switched back to my 2.0 and planning on buying another 2.0 when it's on sale because it's a much better ball.

Comments about Ebonite Mission $250K:

Im a league bowler that is actually increasing average from 160's to 178 with this ball and an evil siege!! I have this ball drilled to react early factory finish. Its just that if you throw this ball hard it could not work as you want it to. But I have found my perfect bowling style and with the right throwing speed this ball rocks!!! Im having at least 1 to 2 200 games each day I go to the league!! And i dont regret getting this ball at all!!!

How to get results with the Dominator
By The grey gooseVerified Reviewer from New Orleans on 3/12/2011
Pros:
Attractive Design, Comfortable Grip, Control with power, Flawless Surface, Great Weight
Best Uses:
Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments
Describe Yourself:

No
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Ebonite Mission $250K:

I now have all 3 mission balls, and the Dominator has required me to change the ball surface to get the best results. First I wanted this ball drilled with the pin below the fingers to get a early roll with control. My other balls are not drilled this way, and with no balance hole.
With the finish out of the box I had problems midway of the first game. Medium oil, and house shot!
I tried several surface adjustments, and finally found the fix. Brought the surface to 500 grit, and used factory finish, and thre results were outstanding. Great hitting power, and carried the 7 pin. I didn't have to make many adjustment, and it was fun again.
I'm a senior bowler, left handed, and carry 210 average.
Recommendation: Give the ball a chance, and try different ball surfaces to get the edge.

Comments about Ebonite Mission $250K:

Left handed bowler with medium revs bought this ball to compliment Mission 2.0 which I have bowled my first 300 and 800 series with. Drilled mine with stacked leverage to go long and strong. Just drilled mine and took it out for league night last night, shot 279,235,279 out of the box. This ball goes much longer then 2.0 and the just turns and drives home like no other ball I have thrown. This is definately a great ball for those nights when lanes are wet and you need that drive to carry those corner pins. Great Job again Ebonite !!
