The Game Breaker 3 Black/Blue is the next advancement in the Game Breaker series for Ebonite. This ball features the highly successful Enhanced V2 symmetrical core design from the previous GB2 and GB3 releases, but with a different hybrid coverstock. The only time we can recall this ball’s GB 12.0 Hybrid cover being used before was on the Adrenaline Shot.

The end result is that this ball is cleaner and more angular than the sanded original GB3, while offering more overall hook than the polished GB3 Pearl. The long and strong motion of the Game Breaker 3 Black/Blue was very good across most of our test patterns and was nearly can’t-miss on our medium pattern for all three testers.
