Ebonite Game Breaker Asym Review

Ebonite has just released the newest addition to the GB line with the Game Breaker Asym. It has many of of the characteristics to the GB Pearl but they did a little modification to the core giving it a little asymmetry. I happen to have a lot of Asymmetric Pearls right now, so I drilled this a little different with a 4-1/2" pin under the ring finger. It is extremely clean & smooth. I do like the shape and and the way it pushes through the pins. Very nice add especially for league.

Game Breaker Asym is a polished pearl reactive with a small int. differential which gives it a little stronger move at the break. The surface gives it great length as expected, but the back end reaction with the stored energy causes the ball to go through the pins very well.

The Game Breaker continues to be the most trusted and popular lines in all of bowling. Ebonite has taken the Game Breaker line to the next level by shaving the sides off the core, creating the new Game Breaker Asym. With the core modifications it he;ps increase the intermediate differential to a medium .008. Which is just enough to see a defined difference when the shiny GB 12.0 Pearl cover sees the end of the pattern. Let’s be honest, it’s a Game Breaker! What more is there to say? A lot actually. In my opinion this is THE best GB ball to date. It allows you to play straighter or hook it more with these new modifications to the core. This GB will help you open up the lane and make it an easy transition into a Track Legion Pearl as the games go on. Moving left will become easier for you to do when you have this ball in your hand. It will also be a great upgrade for someone wanting a better ball than just the normal entry level reactive ball. Look for this ball to be one of the most sought after balls on the market. This is a perfect purchase!

This ball is as clean as they come! When the lanes break down, I can count on this ball to easily make it through the front part of the lane and make the turn downlane. This is quite a different shape than the other gamebreakers, but its unique especially for the Brands of Brunswick. It's a good ball for your bag as a step down from bigger pearls.

The core designers at Ebonite set out to provide a slightly different shape within the GameBreaker line. By slicing off the sides of the V2 core, they were able to create a core that provided a medium degree of asymmetry (.008). This new design provides the ability to fine tune the ball reaction when drilling by controlling the placement of the mass bias but still maintains a low enough level of intermediate differential to not lose the downlane continuation that the GameBreaker series has produced for the last decade. The pearlized GB 12.0 cover provides a cleaner and sharper downlane ball motion compared to the GB4, which provides a natural complement as the GB4 starts to labor downlane during transition. When thrown against the GB4 the GameBreaker Asym was about 3-4 feet cleaner and about 3 & 2 weaker. This ball really begins to shine when you are looking to open your angles on medium oil or as the lanes are transitioning and still need the ball to read the midlane and roll through the back part of the lane. Summary: The GameBreaker Asym adds a new element to the extremely successful GameBreaker line. The new modified V2 core provides bowlers with the opportunity to fine tune their ball reaction when compared to the traditional symmetrical version of the core. The pearlized GB 12.0 coverstock provides more energy storage and downlane motion compared to Ebonite’s GB4. This ball finds its home as you need to create more angle through the front part of the lane or once a hook point has developed downlane. Utilizing this friction, provides a ball motion that clears the fronts with ease and allows the low rg/high diff core to read the mid-lane and roll through the back part of the lane. Rating: 9/10
