Comments:
The Pivot Point is the newest high performance ball from Ebonite. Its sister ball, the Pivot has been a very successful ball for me especially in heavier oil and higher volume environments. At times the Pivot is too strong for the surface and/or the environment. The Pivot Point is the perfect companion to the Pivot. This is one of the rare balls that is factory polished but yet has strong ball motion in higher volumes and longer patterns. When the Pivot is too early, the Pivot Point is very clean and reads the body of the lane (midlane) but yet still maintains the angular shape at the back of the lane. It is a great transition ball to the Pivot.
The first event I used the Pivot Point in was a local scratch event. For the 8 game block, I set the 8 game record averaging 267 with the Pivot Point. The surface was HPL and the volume was medium to medium high.
Ebonite’s ball lineup currently is the best I have seen in many years. The Pivot Point is one of those rare balls that’s hard to keep in your bag. This is a tremendous ball!
