- Prime Time Sanded

First Impressions
With the Prime Time Sanded, Ebonite brings a fascinating new development to market, one that stands out above all for its exceptional length and late reaction. Inside works the dynamic Time Pearl core, which with a 2.55 RG and a 0.040 differential ensures very clean motion through the front part of the lane. The pearl reactive cover is specifically tuned to store the ball's energy extremely efficiently. The nature of the surface with its polished finish supports this trait massively, letting the ball glide effortlessly through the heads without building friction too early. Visually the ball is a real eye-catcher and immediately conveys that this model was designed primarily for later and sharper changes of direction. The technical match between core and cover is extremely harmonious and purposeful here.
Comparison
Comparing the Prime Time Sanded with the Roto Grip Hustle, the glaring differences in backend reaction are immediately apparent. The Roto Grip Hustle tends to read a bit earlier, while the Prime Time Sanded holds its energy a decisive fraction longer and then responds noticeably more aggressively to the dry area. That trait makes it the perfect complement in your arsenal when the Hustle starts to lose energy in the pocket or enters too flat. Although both balls are aimed at lighter oil patterns, the Prime Time Sanded offers a noticeably more dynamic angle. It's the ideal solution for situations in which the Hustle no longer develops enough drive, since it generates the necessary entry angle.
On the Lanes
This ball shows its greatest strength once the lane has already been played on a bit and the transition has clearly set in. It needs a certain amount of friction on the backend to develop its characteristic hook, which delivers maximum, explosive carry. When the boards in the front part of the lane dry up, the ball lets you move systematically further inside and attack the pocket from a much deeper angle. It's very well suited to medium to dry conditions and an excellent choice if you're looking for a clean, responsive surface. Thanks to its forgiving nature on shots missed to the outside, it should keep your scores stable at a very high level even in the late stages of a tournament.
