Game Breaker 5 Core for 16 to 14 pound bowling balls

Game Breaker 5 Core for 13 to 12 pound bowling balls

More Traction and Hook!

The dictionary defines a Game Breaker as a bowling ball that always performs and is one of the best values in bowling. The new Game Breaker 5 does not disappoint and will remind bowlers of the Game Breaker 4, but with more continuation. The new GB5 has the same storied core that has carried the popularity of the series and is paired with GB 12.7 Solid. The Game Breaker series has been missing the stronger cover intended for more traction and hook in oil, and that is precisely what you get with the new GB5!

GB5 Solid

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.

Another Great Gamebreaker Benchmark Ball

I really like Gamebreakers as a whole. The GB5 has a very strong cover that is great on medium to heavy oil and gives a very readable, continuous arc to the pocket. It is a great benchmark ball and the cover is versatile as it is great dull out of the box and can shine up for a more gradual response.

New GB5

GB5 seems to be the most versatile of the previous four. Although its surface is sanded at 1500 out of box, it is very clean and smooth through the fronts with a strong and continuous down lane motion. This ball will travel well for most tournament players and can match up with most house conditions. GB5 takes surface changes well, it seems to be a decent all around ball that will keep you in play on most conditions. You can never go wrong with any Game Breaker, and this one is a winner!

GB5 Solid

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!!

GB5 Solid

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.
