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!

It's a Game Breaker !
We all know what the Game Breaker series is all about. It's your benchmark type ball at a price point that won't break the bank. The GB5 is much earlier than the GB4 was. It can handle more oil with more continuation than the 4. All thanks to a stronger cover, the GB 12.7 Solid. There's a new benchmark ball in town, the GB5 by Ebonite!

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!!

Ebonite Game Breaker 5
The new Ebonite Game Breaker 5 has a smooth and strong overall hook that fits right into the "benchmark" category. It's early & predictable so it's generally going to keep you out of trouble, yet it's a ball that you can stay in a little longer because it strong enough to tip around the corner as well. Excellent option for fist ball out of the bag on both House & Sport patterns.

Gamebreaker!
It’s a game breaker! The gb5 is the newest release in the game breaker line. Out of box the gb5 is a lot of hook but mine quickly shined up a bit and fell in line with the benchmark smooth motion gamebreaker fans have loved for years. Much like its predecessor the gb4 solid I felt like this was to strong for the benchmark motion I wanted out of box. 6 games in and it settled into that spot of my bag. This is a great addition to the ebonite line and creates a great 1-2 punch with the gb4 hybrid.

GB5
The GB5 is the definition of benchmark ball motion. Same great core with an updated stronger cover intended for more traction and hook in the oil. Similar to the GB4 but with more continuation. This ball easily lets me know how the lanes are playing and the moves that might need to be made.

GB5
It’s hard to go wrong with a Game Breaker. They have a long history of great performance, and the GB5 lives up to the hype. This is the perfect benchmark piece. If you liked the GB4, this ball is just a little stronger. Make sure to pre-order yours today.
