Ball review:
Pursuit-S is a strong and stable ball. It reminds me of my Omen, which I think it’s a great ball. When it hits a lot of oil, it’s long and strong, but when it hits a medium oil pattern it’s just perfect, because it rolls strong without being too long and sharp.
I’ve drilled mine with the pin below the ringfinger, just like my Omen, and a small x-hole in the side. I think this ball is best for medium conditions.

Ball review:
The Pursuit-S is a lot different than my other symmetric balls. It has a stronger and sharper backend than balls like the Gamechanger. It is a strong ball, so it still reads the midlane and doesn’t slide to far down the lane, but still maintains plenty of energy for the backend and through the pins.
The Pursuit-S reacts stronger off the dry than the Pursuit and is able of covering more boards and is probably better suited for a little more open angles on the lanes than other symmetric balls.
Comparing the Pursuit to the Pursuit-S I was a little surprised. The Pursuit is smoother and has a more rounded shape than the Pursuit-S. For me it is normally the other way around; the asymmetric balls being stronger on the backend and the symmetrics more smooth and blends out the pattern better.
I think these two balls will give me some nice options as I will have a heavy rolling, but smooth asymmetric ball and a symmetric ball that can still get around the corner. I think this will help me both on medium-long patterns and when the lanes break down.

Ball review:
I have just played a few games with this ball, but even though the name is close to the original Pursuit, the ball motion is different. Mine is drilled a bit more experimental compared to what I am used to, pin placed in the up center of the hand, and cg down right and with a small balance hole. According to the specifications of the ball, the Pursuit S should be longer down lane before it hooks, and I can feel that even though it is drilled differently from the first ball. In general, a very interesting ball from Ebonite Inc.!

Ball review:
This is an interesting pair of balls. On paper they look very much alike. On the shelf they look very much alike. On the lane they look very much alike, yet totally different. I decided to drill these two balls with my standard layout which is pretty weak. I did it to make a point that these two balls were too much alike and there was no need for both. And while they do hook about the same number of boards the two shapes are totally different. For me the Pursuit is even throughout the lane where the S is much more angular. The S also went 2 meters (6ft.) further down the lane compared to the Pursuit. I couldn’t believe my eyes and I thought that I was just doing something with my hand to make them seem different. I called one of my friends so I had a 2nd set of eyes. He didn’t know of the two balls and thought I had drilled two of the same ball. But he saw the same difference as me and he stated that I threw them the same. I guess you learn every day. I thought I had two very similar balls yet they display two totally different characteristics once rolled down the lane.
The Pursuit is a strong rolling ball that grabs the lane fairly early but keeps going on the back end. The hook shape is a strong even arc and is best suited for longer/higher volume patterns
The Pursuit S is longer and stronger down lane. Total hook is about the same as the Pursuit. The S is better suited on patterns where you need to open the angles for example after a couple of games. It still needs oil to perform but not as much as the Pursuit does.
For me these two balls are a nice 1-2 punch. Once the Pursuit starts burning up in the mid lane the S takes over and lets me migrate left without losing backend motion.
