Ebonite Spartan Review

All right, we're back. Bowlerx.com here with the uh new ebonite Spartan. We're going to take it out here. I got 45x 4 and a half by 45 layout on it. We're at Bolerex Pro Shop and Training Center inside Waterford Lanes. And we have a 46 ft lead condition out here with Pinpoint Plus to tell me what I hit and to tell me what speed I throw it at. So, we can get a little bit of an idea of some differences and all that. So, I'm going to take it out here and we're going to throw it across the lane, see what we've got, see what it does. Does it go through the pins? Can I hook the lane? Can I throw it straighter? Can I do whatever I want with this ball? Or is it

gonna be a turd? Or is it gonna be amazing? It could be a door. Or it's just [music] a ball. We'll see. I don't know. So stay tuned. [music] [music] All right, ladies and gentlemen. Here we go. Let's take the Spartan for a test drive. the old Ebonite Spartan. This ball hasn't gone down the lane yet, so I

don't know what it's going to do, but I'm going to do it like I always do. Try to be a little bit straighter. And I'm just going to go left. I imagine this is going to hook a bunch. It looks chalky. We'll see. Yeah. Yeah. Just had no chance. Just dead Brooklyn immediately. You watch it hit the lane and it's like [clears throat] it just wants to go. Big [snorts] strong cover. So again, I think this is going to be a lot like the Widow in is in the matter

of if you're a lower rev rate that likes to play straighter, this is probably the ball for you. Or lower rev rate that likes to play straighter and faster, this is the ball for you, more than likely. So we'll move fiveish left. Keep the speed up. Jeez, that thing really grips the lane. That was almost I want to say that's probably

a little stronger, a little earlier than what the Widow even was. The Widow had that whippiness back down lane. [clears throat] This one just has the whippiness in the middle in the front part of the lane. So, yikes. All right, let's keep going left. Keep going left and then we should be good with it. Should be getting there eventually. [snorts] Yeah, just like the widow. This is just

probably 3 to 5 ft earlier closer to me than what the widow was [clears throat] and not as much down lane because it's losing rotation faster but still strong. So now we just keep going left. And this is that part where if I didn't catch the finger holes in the widow, it didn't go through the pins. So I'm going to try to be lazy with this one and see what it does.

Oh, we throwing logs. We got a messenger out of it. That lazy hand kind of see it. Watch it go forward. Didn't really catch it and get my hand through it very well. It's that whole idea of staying below the equator of the ball. If you don't stay below the equator, you're in trouble. So, let's go left again. Now, this time, I'm going to really try to catch it. Keep the speed up and catch the finger holes. Stay below the equator. Thumb out first, then fingers.

Caught that one. Caught that one. As long as you really get these bowling balls, man, if you just give it a little, you know, just that. Give her the old whatever you want to call it. The flare on this thing, that's insane. Big flare. Big flare. Big big flare. Big Rick flare. Woo. Can't get my voice to go high enough.

All right, here we I'm going to try to catch this one. We're back against the ball return now. So, we're going to try to catch it again. All right. So, I think I'm going to throw one more here, but I think this is a very good one-two combo between the Spartan and the Widow. I think these two can complement each other really well. I think if you need something to be a little bit earlier and just a pinch rounder, you go Spartan. And then if you need a little bit more down lane, you go

Widow. So I [snorts] would probably start Spartan and then go to Widow once the Spartan is not going [clears throat] through the pins. So let's now front of the ball return. See if we can't get it going. Yeah. So I don't know, man. I think I I've heard a lot of people talk really good about this. I haven't heard a ton of talk about the Widow yet, but the Spartan

they've really talked really really good about and I can see why. I mean, when you get a ball that actually picks up the middle part of the lane and keeps going and and revs through the pins like that, it's great, you know. So, it's one of those times again where I think if you are a lower rev rate guy or gal who likes to throw it harder and play straighter up against the friction, this or that Widow is going to be perfect for you. And if you like to bang on it and catch it and you know and still keep your speed up, I mean it's going to be good on the middle part of the lane as well. So head over to berx.com, get

yours today. Um [music] but I really I got nothing else for you. So I'm going to get out of here and until next time, we'll [music] see you guys later. Take care.
