- Cyclone

First Impressions
With the Cyclone, Ebonite brings a fascinating new development to the market, one that stands out above all for its exceptional length and late reaction. Inside works the dynamic Cyclone Torque core, which with a 2.53 RG and a 0.053 differential ensures a very clean motion through the front sections of the lane. The GB 10.7 Pearl cover is specifically tuned to store the ball's energy extremely efficiently. The nature of the surface with a Polished finish supports this characteristic massively by letting the ball glide effortlessly through the heads without building friction early. Visually the ball is a real eye-catcher and immediately communicates that this model was designed primarily for later, sharper direction changes. The technical match between core and cover is extremely harmonious and purposeful here.
Comparison
Comparing the Cyclone with the Storm Tropical Surge, the glaring differences in backend reaction stand out immediately. The Storm Tropical Surge tends to read a bit earlier, while the Cyclone holds its energy a decisive fraction longer and then reacts noticeably more aggressively to the dry area. That characteristic makes it the perfect complement in your arsenal when the Tropical Surge starts losing energy in the pocket or entering too flat. Although both balls have a similar orientation toward lighter oil patterns, the Cyclone offers a noticeably more dynamic angle. It is the ideal solution for situations in which the Tropical Surge no longer develops enough drive, since it generates the necessary entry angle.
On the Lanes
This ball unfolds its greatest strength once the lane has been broken in a bit and transition has clearly set in. It needs a certain amount of friction in 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 is excellently suited to medium to dry conditions and an excellent choice if you are looking for a clean, responsive surface. Thanks to its forgiving nature on misses to the outside, it should keep your scores stable at a very high level even in the late stages of a tournament.
