What I Was Looking For in this Ball and Layout:

When I drilled this No Limit, I was bowling in the Ebonite sponsored True Amateur Tournament in Las Vegas. I was in need of a shiny surface ball that flared a lot. The goal was to end up with a ball that pushed easily through the front but did not flip as hard as my One and Big Time Pearl in the backend.

What I Ended Up With in this Ball and Layout:

Getting through the front of the lane is no problem for the No Limit. The shiny Big Bang coverstock pushes through the front of the lane very easily on most lane surfaces I've seen. Our local bowling center (Guardian Lane Surface with dry heads) doesn't even present too many problems for the No Limit. It pushes through the front of the lane and retains axis rotation for a mid-lane read.

Here's where the No Limit didn't exactly match up to what I was shooting for. The No Limit retains rotation so long for me that the backend move is fairly quick. While the ball does flare a lot through the mid-lane, the coverstock still retains a quick backend transition for my game. For me, even the high differential (.071") of the No Limit was not enough to get this coverstock to burn up a little earlier. Typically balls with differentials this high tend to burn up early and go a little straighter through the backend. While that's not always optimal, it was what I wanted in this ball reaction. Perhaps in the future, I will scuff the surface of this ball just slightly to perform to my original expectations.

The overall hook of my No Limit is extremely close to my One ball reviewed earlier on this website. This is the primary reason I will be changing the surface of this ball in the future. My One ball is so predictable that I would probably choose to use it in nearly every instance over this No Limit. But if you are looking for a unique ball reaction shape that pushes through the front of the lane easily, take a look at the No Limit from Ebonite.

A very smooth rolling ball that doesn't roll out early and will go very long but have a lot of backend torque to charge to the pocket. This is an ideal piece of equipment for those lanes conditions where short oil and strong backends are your test. This ball is not to aggressive and delivers a smooth and an easy to control arc. The first time I rolled the Ebonite No Limit bowling ball in competition I started out with a 7 bagger.

Likes: With the amount of track flare this ball creates you can imagine how well and consistent the ball reads the mid lane. A great ball on a lot of longer sport shots.
Dislikes: Not very easy through the front part of the lane. This probably has more to do with the aggressive weight block rather than the cover being extremely aggressive.

Similar reaction to the SR300, but a bit longer and not as strong. Really good carry. Threw strikes my first three balls with it, finished with like a 230, and I had already messed up several frames before I grabbed it at Demo Days.
