Ball review:
Ebonite Signals is the last ball I’m travelling with when going to tournaments. It has a long sharp, snap reaction. But what sets this ball apart is that the snap reaction is actually controllable. The first time I tried this ball was during Aalborg International 2011. I pulled out the Signals in the last game and shot 300 with it to make the cut. I mostly use it when the lanes are broken down. This is where this ball shines. It goes through the heads with ease and saves it’s energy for the backend and the pins. A reaction I can’t compare to other balls from Track, Ebonite Hammer and Columbia. Fantastic ball.

Ball review:
Signals will give you that extra help on patterns that have been broken down. Clean thru the heads and a strong backend reaction.
I really like how easy it is to control the backend reaction with this ball, change hand position and the ball will do as you want, be really angular or read the friction more smooth.

Ball review:
The Signals is the newest release in the Vital-series and it uses the same core as the Vital Sign and Vital Energy.
The Signals is a ball very well suited for when the pattern breaks down. It has good length, but still reads the midlane well enough to not be over-under.
The backend is controllable, but with a lot of recovery. I feel I can change the backend motion of the Signals very easily with my hand. I can tame it down, but also really make it go sideways.
The Signals remind me of the One Pearl and I think it will do very well on medium to longer patterns after a few games.

The perfect ball to use on medium to long patterns that’s broken down. Nice length and control.

Ball review:
Long + Strong + Control = Signals. Signals is the vital core inside a brand new veneer. And the combo is a perfect match. I saw easy length and a hard arcing backend (borderline snap), but with enough midlane read to easily control the break point. This ball is best suited for medium/heavy oil and patterns where recovery is a must.
