HOPKINSVILLE, Kent. - Ebonite Internaitonal is putting a new face on bowling with its Snuffy ball from Optyx.

The Snuffy will bring good cheer to the game with its bright yellow smiley face. The newest addition to the Fun Ball series includes Ebonite¹s exclusive everclear-polyester technology with a thin shell. The construction of the Snuffy is consistent with the previous painted-core Opytx balls, the Ghost Face and Red Dragon. Like many of the Optyx balls, Snuffy adds attitude and an element of cool to bowling.

"This ball is a kick!," said Bob Reid, Vice President of Marketing for Ebonite. "People of all ages can enjoy this bright yellow fun ball. With fun comes smiles, so why not a smiley face fun ball?"

The Snuffy is available in 10 to 16 lbs., through bowling pro shops with a suggested retail of $129.95.

Based in Hopkinsville, Kent., Ebonite International is privately owned. The company currently services bowling centers and retail outlets both domestically and internationally.
