Built for medium to heavier oil conditions, it delivers more midlane strength and total hook than the Game Breaker 5 Hybrid, while still getting farther down the lane than the biggest hooking balls in the Ebonite lineup. It streets November 19, 2026 in Red / Blue / Purple.\n\nGo Time pairs the symmetric Big Time core with the HK22 GB 13.7 Solid coverstock at a 500, 1500 Siaair Micro Pad finish, with DynamiCore. Its strong, round and continuous motion gives bowlers a reliable shape they can trust across a wide range of conditions and styles. Just as The One and Game Breaker series became go-to choices for generations of bowlers, Ebonite believes Go Time has the performance and value to earn the same reputation.\n\nUnderstanding the Ebonite Big Time Core and Ebonite HK22 GB 13.7 Solid Reactive\n\nEbonite built Go Time for strong overall hook on medium to oily lanes. Specifically, the symmetric Big Time core measures a 2.508 RG with a strong .054 differential at 15 lb, so it revs readily and has plenty of flare, while the HK22 GB 13.7 Solid cover at a 500, 1500 Siaair Micro Pad finish reads the midlane with confidence. DynamiCore adds durability and hitting power. The 13 and 12 lb weights use a dedicated core (2.574 RG, .040 differential at 13 lb). The full per-weight numbers are listed below.\n\nA Strong Symmetric Engine for Round, Continuous Motion\n\nAt the heart of Go Time is the symmetric Big Time core. At 15 lb it measures a 2.508 RG and a strong .054 differential. That differential gives Go Time plenty of flare for a strong overall hook, and the moderate RG helps it get farther down the lane than Ebonite's biggest hooking balls before it commits.\n\nAs a symmetric core it produces the strong, round and continuous shape Ebonite describes: predictable, repeatable, and easy to trust across styles. The 13 and 12 lb weights carry a dedicated core tuned for those weights (2.574 RG, .040 differential at 13 lb).\n\nA Midlane-Strong Solid at a Sanded Micro Pad Finish\n\nWrapping the Big Time core is the HK22 GB 13.7 Solid coverstock at a 500, 1500 Siaair Micro Pad finish. The sanded solid reads the midlane earlier and stronger than the Game Breaker 5 Hybrid, which is where Go Time's extra midlane strength and total hook come from.\n\nWith DynamiCore in the outer core, Go Time also hits harder and holds up longer than a conventional build. Keep the Micro Pad box finish for the strongest midlane read, or polish it up at your pro shop when you want a cleaner, longer look.\n\nGo Time Specs\n\nRG and differential vary by weight. Specifications provided by the manufacturer.\n\nWho This Ball Is Right For\n\n✓League Bowlers: A strong, dependable opener for fresh house shots at a mid-performance price\n\n✓Tournament Players: Ebonite calls it a tournament bag staple for medium to heavier oil\n\n✓Speed-Dominant Players: The .054 differential and sanded solid help the ball read the midlane at higher speeds\n\n✓Game Breaker Fans: More midlane strength and total hook than the GB5 Hybrid\n\nGood to Know Before You Buy\n\n·Strong, aggressive motion: This is a high-flare piece built for traction. If you want a controlled, lower-hook reaction, a lower-differential ball will suit you better.\n\n·Ships sanded for traction: The 500, 1500 Siaair Micro Pad finish is built to grip in oil. Polish it for more length when the volume drops.\n\n·Colors vary: Actual colors vary somewhat from the photos shown; no two balls come out of the mold exactly alike.\n\n·Tiny pit holes are normal: A few tiny pit holes in the coverstock are a normal part of the manufacturing process.\n\n·Sold undrilled: Ships without finger holes, so it can be fitted to your hand and span.\n\nBowlersMart Tips: Where Go Time Fits in Your Ebonite Arsenal\n\nWhere It Fits in Your Arsenal\n\nIn the Ebonite lineup, Go Time is the strong, round solid for medium to heavier oil. It reads the midlane stronger than the Game Breaker 5 Hybrid, while getting farther down the lane than Ebonite's biggest hookers, so it bridges the gap between the two. Pair it with a pearl like the Turbo X Pearl for transition.\n\nSurface Adjustments\n\nThe 500, 1500 Siaair Micro Pad finish ships sanded for an earlier, stronger read. Polish it up at your pro shop for more length when the volume drops, or refresh the box surface to restore the traction. Have surface changes done at your pro shop for an even, consistent finish.\n\nCoverstock Care\n\nReactive covers absorb oil over time, which softens the reaction. Wipe the ball down after every set and deep clean it periodically so the HK22 GB 13.7 Solid cover keeps the motion it shipped with.\n\nEarn points on every Ebonite purchase through the Striking Rewards loyalty program. Every ball you add to your arsenal builds toward your next reward.\n\nShop With Confidence at BowlersMart\n\nThe Ebonite Go Time Bowling Ball ships free with no minimum purchase and is backed by our 60-day return policy.
