Ebonite Game Breaker 5 Bowling Ball

We all know what the Game Breaker series is all about. It's your benchmark type ball at a price point that won't break the bank. The GB5 is much earlier than the GB4 was. It can handle more oil with more continuation than the 4. All thanks to a stronger cover, the GB 12.7 Solid. There's a new benchmark ball in town, the GB5 by Ebonite!

The new GB5 out of the box provides the strong continuous mid-lane reaction we all love from the Gamebreaker line. This one is a bit different. With the 1550 grit finish, this ball handles more oil in the fronts than the GB4 and GB2. The upgraded cover help too. As of this write up, there has been huge success with players using this ball on the PBA tours. From my point of view, it is super smooth through the front, has moderate length, and a strong predictable reaction in the back end. It is certainly not a super hooking ball but that's not what it's designed to do. The reaction is what you want on the over/under patterns and for blending out the reaction. Don't be fooled as this ball hits hard and carries well. You won't be disappointed.

The new Ebonite GB5 quickly proves itself to be the benchmark ball you've come to expect from the Game Breaker series and they keep getting better. Out of the box the GB5 picks up pretty early but remains controllable throughout the lane and through the pins. So far I've only used it on THS and the shot at my local center that can classified by most as a sport pattern. Good job on keeping the tradition with the GB5, Ebonite!!

The Ebonite Game Breaker 5 (GB5) is the newest benchmark ball out on the market. It is earlier than the GB4 and much stronger through the pins. I have only used this ball on fresh patterns and house shot, and it does not disappoint. Overall, this ball is smooth through the lane and strong on the hook potential. This is a great option for being the first ball out of the bag for league or tournament play.

The new Ebonite Game Breaker 5 has a smooth and strong overall hook that fits right into the "benchmark" category. It's early & predictable so it's generally going to keep you out of trouble, yet it's a ball that you can stay in a little longer because it strong enough to tip around the corner as well. Excellent option for fist ball out of the bag on both House & Sport patterns.

I’m so happy to have a Game Breaker back in my bag as my benchmark ball. I drilled mine 50x5x25. It wasn’t as early as as the GB4 and it had a little more pop down lane. I really liked that because I was able to stay in my GB5 a little longer before I had to make a ball change.

The GB5 is the definition of benchmark ball motion. Same great core with an updated stronger cover intended for more traction and hook in the oil. Similar to the GB4 but with more continuation. This ball easily lets me know how the lanes are playing and the moves that might need to be made.

It’s hard to go wrong with a Game Breaker. They have a long history of great performance, and the GB5 lives up to the hype. This is the perfect benchmark piece. If you liked the GB4, this ball is just a little stronger. Make sure to pre-order yours today.

You thought the GB4 was a lot of ball. The GB5 puts it to shame. Oddly enough it still shapes more down lane. A great benchmark ball for those heavier shots. As the cover breaks in it gets better and better.
