The Source is the first release from the newly rebranded Ebonite. This ball features the old school “E” logo that was used in the past instead of the logo Ebonite has been using recently. This ball provides a high performance reaction at the price tag of an upper mid release. This is a result of providing bowlers with the highly successful Mission core shape wrapped in a new XL2000 pearlized coverstock. This ball provides a big skid/snap reaction for bowlers who want to see a check mark shaped reaction down lane.
