First Impressions
The Ebonite Warrior Supreme comes in an extremely eye-catching black, red and gold solid combination. At its center works the Iron Fist Asymmetric core, which carries a 2.470 RG, a 0.057 differential and a 0.014 intermediate differential. Wrapped around this core is the GB 13.3 Solid Reactive coverstock, finished with a dull 500 and 2000 Abralon surface. These specs position the Warrior Supreme as an all-out heavy oil ball. In combination with the coarse cover, the strong asymmetric core should have the ball building massive traction in the heads and generating continuous motion.
Comparison
Compared directly to the Ebonite Game Breaker 2 Phenom, the Warrior Supreme shows a noticeably sharper and more asymmetric reaction at the breakpoint thanks to its asymmetric core. Next to the Storm Phaze II, the Warrior Supreme behaves distinctly more dominant in the midlane. Once transition sets in during the block and friction on the outside boards increases, the Warrior Supreme's extremely dull solid surface loses energy quickly. It needs a solid oil base in the front part of the lane so it doesn't burn up prematurely.
On the Lanes
The Ebonite Warrior Supreme was developed specifically for use on heavy oil lane conditions. It allows you to generate the hook needed on long patterns to cross boards effectively. The pronounced asymmetric core should optimize carry through a steep entry angle into the pocket. For dry or medium conditions, however, this ball is overqualified; it burns up its energy too early and runs the risk of hitting the pins flat.
