Game Breaker 4 Hybrid

The GB4 Hybrid is the most versatile ball I have ever thrown. I roll lefty and can go straight up boards or to the inside. This ball once it starts its move actually gives the appearance of picking up speed - which is usually indicative of a perfectly matched core and cover stock. Throw in the HK 22 additive and you have an explosive combo. Only hope is they keep this one in the lineup longer than most….

Hello and thank you for reading my thoughts on a piece that has become a staple in my arsenal, the Ebonite GB4 Hybrid. To give you a little information about how I bowl: I have 520 rpm, 18mph off the hand, 64 degrees of rotation, and 24 degrees of tilt. For those that do not know what most of the means, I have a high rev rate and create very easy length with a strong response to friction. The surface I keep my GB4 Hybrid at is 3000, as I need my ball to slow down front to back a touch more than the box surface. This coverstock is highly tunable, giving you the reaction you need with a surface adjustment. The layout I went with was 80 by 4 3/8 by 50, placing the pin in my middle finger. I'm going to sound like a typical staffer saying it's clean through the fronts, reads the midlane, and has a strong response to friction. This is just the truth to the reaction I see. When the conditions call for this ball, I can't seem to put it down. It's predictability in every part of the lane makes it so appealing to me. The black and dark purple coloration fits my eye very well, while also drawing the eyes when on a shelf. The response to friction is strong, but never unpredictable. If you're in need of ball for game 2 of league, the Ebonite GB4 Hybrid fits perfectly in this slot. I can't say enough good things about this piece. It might be my favorite GB and I've had a great deal of success with previous iterations. Check it out at your pro shop and you'll be happy!

This GB4 hybrid is everything you liked from the Pearl with just a bit more versatility and predictability. I’ve been able to use it on all types of patterns and it never fails to impress. I’ve already drilled up two more just because it’s that good!

The GB4 Hybrid is the first ball out of my bag on just about all conditions unless I know there’s a ton of oil. This benchmark predictable rolling ball allows me to start where I know I’m comfortable and to assess what changes I might want to make. I drilled mine a short pin, pin down layout of 80 x 2.25 x 75. This has given me smoother motion with a controlled backend. It does not struggle to hook, just controls the backend beautifully. The Game Breaker line has been super successful for a reason, and this one might be the best of the bunch for me. https://youtube.com/shorts/wpT7_SkYfKI?feature=share

Def a great compliment to the GB2. It still gives me that rounded shape im used to seeing with the GB2, but also allows me to move in deeper during transtion. This piece will be great on house and tougher sport conditions. HK22 on this ball is $$$.
