Ebonite GB5 Hybrid Review

Hi, Evanite [music] fans. I am Tommy Jones and we are here to talk about the new Gamebreaker 5 hybrid. As many of you know, the Gamebreaker has been a staple in the Evanite line for many, many years. Uh it's your benchmark bar that uh you're just always going to have one in your bag.

I can tell you from personal experience, I've probably had a gamebreaker of some form in [music] my bag for over 25 years now. From the, you know, when [music] we had the V2s and they went to the Game Breakers and Gamebreaker 2Os. Now we're all the way up to GB5s and we have the GB5 hybrid.

as you can see, it just gives you a really consistent ball roll. Um, it's always GB5s are typically one of the first balls out of my bag. They let me know if I need to go up and up in cover or down in cover. Uh, typically low RG, the Gamebreaker Core is low RG. It's 248. Um, those numbers really haven't changed in a long, long time. So, we're up in the fourth frame here.

Really just round motion, continuous down lane. Uh, it's got some shelf appeal. Sky blue and black. kind of looks a little a little gray, silverish to me. We'll uh we'll definitely do some cover work on them. You know, the cover will let you take it up a little bit if you want to get it down the lane or even more service if you want to use it on like a short pattern.

Got that one too much to the right. Cut a little too much of the friction. And it does have a strong cover on it, strong core, and it does, you know, make it goes high a little bit. So, I'll make a little move on the next frame and uh move on. The cover [music] is finished with 500 2,000 C air. What that means is it's 500 on the bottom and then C uh 2,000 on the top. gives it that nice smooth finish.

All right, up in the six frame. Uh, this ball is going to be used for your medium to heavier all conditions. Like I said, great benchmark ball in 15 lbs. We talked about a little bit earlier, the the uh the RG is 248. The differential is 045. [music] Just a good allaround bowling ball. Symmetric core that you've all known and

love for so many [music] years. Little bit little move there. Move like two and one. Get away from that friction a little bit. get a little bit farther inside the lane to uh let the ball get through the oil and store some more energy and continue to hook down lane. This is the hybrid [music] version of the GB5. We did have the GB5 Solid and the GB5 Pearl. Both were great balls and complement

each other well. And now we just put a different one right in the middle of them. Got a little bit of a lucky one there. Good shelf appeal in this ball. looking at it kind of it just kind of stands out

the way that the uh blue pops through with the black. Just a nice uh nice color combination that Evanite made here. All right, we're going to move a little bit more to get in the oil here. ball just keeps coming. So, it's going to be a ball that when you use, you're

going to have to make some keep migrating left to get to a fresher part of the front front of the lane with the uh the strong cover. So, we'll shoot our spare here. Move another couple boards on the next shot. All right, up in the ninth frame. 245 left. We missed a move in the fifth.

Didn't quite move enough in the eighth. So, we'll just move a little right. Try to go the other way. Throw it through that spot that's kind of breaking down a little bit, but uh show you that it'll still pick up with a little bit of speed.

Some patterns and some house shots that you bowl on will be a little bit different [music] as far as the amount of volume they use. you know, we're trying to go left early and then you kind of get to a point [music] to where you realize that might have been the wrong way. So, we'll move back a little bit right and firm it up. Something that a lot of house shots you'll go the other way. Uh, this house shot here at Northway [music] tends to

like it a little bit firmer and straighter. So, we tried to go left. We couldn't get ahead of it. So, we'll move back right. Get right up against the old line. Firm it up [music] and roll it. This ball let you do all these kinds of things. Much better. Much rounder shape. While

it needs a little bit of oil in the front part of the lane to kind of help it get through there so that it's not trying to trying to fight itself. It is a strong cover. You will be able to use this ball on medium to heavier oil conditions. All right, we're going to have a little fun here just to show you this bowling ball. We're going to move like I don't know seven or eight left. Throw it slower. Give it a little bit of rotation and see if we can get it all the way around the corner here.

So there you go. We had five frames [music] kind of with a normal move and then we moved a little bit right and then we moved left to kind of just show you the thing. Uh first 10 video 245. Not terrible, [music] but uh definitely missed the move early and then had to decide which ways [music] we were going to go again. Gamebreaker 5 hybrid sky blue black um benchmark [music] ball. You guys are going to be able to use a lot of different conditions. You can shine it up. You can put some more surface on and everything. [music] The release date is

uh March 19th. So, make sure to follow us on all of our [music] social media pages and remember it's a bolt to win.
