It pairs the symmetric Turbo Core with the NU Active coverstock, delivering controlled, readable motion with more flare than traditional urethane on dry to medium oil.\n\nThe Turbo X NU shares its Turbo core with the reactive Turbo X but swaps in the NU Active cover. NU material reads the lane gently and predictably like urethane, but the Turbo X NU is tuned to create noticeably more flare than urethane or other NU options, so it produces a stronger midlane while keeping the controlled, on-line motion competitive players rely on.\n\nUnderstanding the Ebonite Turbo Core and Ebonite NU Active\n\nEbonite built the Turbo X NU as a purpose-built urethane alternative with more flare than traditional urethane. Specifically, the symmetric Turbo Core posts a higher 2.517 RG and a .040 differential for a smooth, controllable roll, while the NU Active cover at a 500, 1000 Siaair Micro Pad finish reads the lane gently like urethane but with more midlane flare. As a result, it delivers controlled, readable motion on dry to medium oil. The per-weight specifications are listed below.\n\nA Higher-RG Symmetric Core, Shared With the Turbo X\n\nAt the heart of the Turbo X NU is the same symmetric Turbo Core used in the reactive Turbo X. At 15 lb it measures a higher 2.517 RG and a .040 differential, numbers that give the ball a smooth, controllable roll. The higher RG keeps the ball clean through the fronts, while the moderate differential provides more flare than most urethane and NU options.\n\nEbonite wraps the Turbo core in DynamiCore for added durability and a stronger hitting ball. That extra flare is what sets the Turbo X NU apart from traditional urethane: a stronger, more readable midlane while keeping the controlled motion the category is known for.\n\nA Not Urethane Cover That Reads Like Urethane With More Flare\n\nThe Turbo X NU wraps that core in Ebonite's NU Active coverstock at a 500, 1000 Siaair Micro Pad finish. NU stands for Not Urethane: the cover reads the lane gently and predictably, much like urethane, so the ball holds a controlled line on dry to medium oil and short patterns where a strong reactive ball would over-hook.\n\nWhat separates the Turbo X NU from traditional urethane is flare. The NU Active cover, paired with the Turbo core, creates noticeably more flare than urethane or other NU options, for a stronger midlane and a more readable, repeatable shape. As urethane faces increasing tournament restrictions, the Turbo X NU gives competitive bowlers a purpose-built, rule-friendly alternative. Adjust the surface at your pro shop to fine-tune the control.\n\nTurbo X NU Specs\n\nRG and differential vary by weight. Specifications provided by the manufacturer.\n\nWho This Ball Is Right For\n\n✓Tournament Players: A purpose-built urethane alternative for dry to medium oil as urethane faces restrictions\n\n✓Control Players: Urethane-like control with more flare and a stronger, more readable midlane\n\n✓Short-Pattern Bowlers: A controlled, predictable read for short patterns where a reactive ball over-hooks\n\n✓Arsenal Builders: The NU control piece that shares the Turbo core with the reactive Turbo X\n\nGood to Know Before You Buy\n\n·Ships sanded for traction: The 500, 1000 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 the Turbo X NU Fits in Your Ebonite Arsenal\n\nWhere It Fits in Your Arsenal\n\nIn the Ebonite lineup, the Turbo X NU is the specialty control piece for dry to medium oil and short patterns. Where your reactive balls hook sharply, the NU Active Turbo X NU reads smoothly and holds its line, but with more flare than traditional urethane. It shares the Turbo core with the reactive Turbo X, so you can move between the two as conditions change.\n\nSurface Adjustments\n\nThe 500, 1000 Siaair Micro Pad finish gives the Turbo X NU its controlled, urethane-like read with extra flare. Take the surface lower for more traction, or smooth it up for a cleaner, longer read. Have surface changes done at your pro shop for an even, consistent finish.\n\nCoverstock Care\n\nWipe the NU Active cover with an approved ball cleaner after every session, and deep clean it periodically. Keeping the cover fresh preserves the controlled, readable motion that defines the Turbo X NU.\n\nEarn points on every Ebonite purchase through the Striking Rewards loyalty program.
