The Absolute Truth brings the Hybrid S80R coverstock that is used on the Inception Redux to the Truth line. This coverstock is strong, as many of you know from throwing the Redux. This Hybrid coverstock allows you to have the best of both worlds when it comes to solid and pearl coverstocks. The pearl allows the ball to clear the heads with ease and then you gain the ability to have the strong motion in the midlane and the backend you get with solids. This ball is meant for medium to heavy lane conditions, but don’t think you can’t modify the cover to accommodate other patterns but still get the same heavy roll this ball provides. You can see this ball working its magic due to the color scheme, which makes it super easy to read. Get one and see for yourself! This is the absolute truth, period!

The After Dark series introduces the all-new Function 400 Series. This ball provides a true entry-level ball but is an absolute must have for the tournament player. When throwing it I was able to play further right in the dry on my THS. It never over reacted but also did not lose power at the pins. I was able to move left as the line dried out and still get the ball to hit. This ball allows you to keep everything in front of you and is necessary for your shorter sport patterns. This ball fits when Urethane is too little and other higher end equipment gets too much or to rolly and makes it hard to carry. They come in solid and or pearl. Of course the pearl is a little later with a bit of a sharper break point. This ball fits perfect here. Go Global and see for yourself!

Clean, Strong Midlane, Strong Backend

This ball is literally the little sibling to the Honey Badger but just as good if not better. The Badger has that same 2-piece design seen in the HB along with the same S71 cover but in Hybrid version. This sibling has a different set of guts though. It is using the Lacerate Symmetric core. Where the HB struggled in the midlane a bit for me I was able to use the Badger on the fresh out of the box and still keep moving in. Because of this, I will be able to take my HB back to 1500 polish from 2000 by hand. This way I can truly get that 1-2 punch needed. The Badger still gives you that down lane motion made famous by the HB but with a bit, more midlane read. The more I moved left the more it just wanted to keep coming. This ball has no quit in it that I have found yet.

Low end? Whatever!!

Performance for YOUR Game is the name of the game. That is what the BubbleGum Boost delivers. 900 Global is providing a ton of ball at a very good price point. With the BubbleGum Boost you are getting through the heads super clean and still getting the backend reaction people are looking for. The Pearl gives you more of a skid/flip look but it is still an easy controllable reaction. You can use this ball on fresh but it absolutely shines when the lanes start to break down and you need that extra push to get through the heads and still get the recovery on the backend to carry. Another great piece made by 900 Global at great price point. Get you one and you will not be disappointed.

Strong and Powerful

The Continuum is overall the strongest ball produced by 900 Global. The ball has the all new S82RX Hybrid coverstock and the all new Ellipticon core. You can see this ball giving everything it has in the midlane and then when getting to the backend it just continues to go left for righties. It never seems to overreact due to the midlane roll but never stops its continuation through the pins. I drilled mine extremely strong as well to get better midlane roll on those longer patterns. Was very surprised I could even use it on the house shot (albeit deep inside) but still able to get it to make the turn with little effort even using the out of box 2000 grit. I was able to keep it tight in the oil and again it just carried without issue. This ball is stronger in every phase of the lane compared to the original Inception DCT. This ball is a MUST in anyone’s bag looking for something strong smooth and continuous on sport or house patterns.

Sneaky Good!!

This ball is sneaky good! It is controllable yet strong. On fresh THS I was able to play further right and get to ball to read the midlane and have true continuation through the pins. As the night went on and break down happened I fully expected to have to switch balls to something like the Honey Badger. I was absolutely surprised that I could move left and just keep moving left without worrying if the ball was going to make the turn. The ball just does not quit. I shot 777 first set out of the box with this ball. This will be my new benchmark ball, period! May have to get few backups as well!

Clean, Midlane Pearl with Pop

The Eon is a brand new ball that include new core and cover. It has the Olloid Symmetric core and the S82RX Pearl cover on it. This ball provides a very clean look through the fronts and gives you quick response to friction. It is excellent for medium patterns and house shots. It provided me a really good look once the lanes broke down and needed something little cleaner with retained energy for the back part of the lane. The ball still rolls in the midland very well for a pearl but never seems to let that bother it when it hits the friction to make the turn to the pocket. It also surprised me with how it never seemed to over react when getting to the dry to early. It just seemed to know where the pocket was. This is going to be a favorite of mine!!

Clean and Strong

This ball matches its name very well. Honey Badger has plenty of bite on the backend of the lane with plenty of energy to spare. It has no problems going left/right. If you are looking for a ball that will give you plenty of retained energy down lane so it can still make the turn and have the hitting power to carry the corners this is it! This ball is fun to throw and I am impressed with how much backend energy it has. This ball make look pretty but it is all business. Get you one today you will not be disappointed!

Strong, Powerful, and Continuous

This ball will be as popular if not more popular than its predecessor the Honey Badger. The HB Claw gives you the same overall look with a bit earlier motion and the same great backend. This ball is strong and allows you to play in the oil unlike the original HB did. The ball has no quit in it though. That was surprising due to it being a solid. It just keeps making the turn strong and hard. This ball is all business and would not be surprised if this is a must have at USBC Nationals in Vegas this year. This ball is all HB and more!!!

The Inception DCT Pearl is by far my favorite ball produced by 900 Global. I feel it was literally made for me. This ball is super clean through the front part of the lane. You can see it start to rev in the midlane and then make the strong turn to the pocket. It never seems to overreact due to the midlane roll but never stops its continuation through the pins. I drilled my first one pin down and it just read the THS perfect. I was able to play further right and it not over react. I was able to move in and let it go and still able to get to pocket with plenty of energy left. I was able to keep it tight in the oil and again it just carried without issue. This ball is stronger in every phase of the lane compared to the original Inception Pearl. It allows you to open the lane up when needed compared to the Inception DCT. This ball is a MUST in anyone’s bag. If you want to strike and strike a lot then this is the ball for you.

This ball is super clean through the front part of the lane! You can see it start to rev in the midlane and then make the turn to the pocket. It never seems to overreact due to the midlane roll but never stops its continuation through the pins. If you are in need of a ball to clear the heads but still need a smooth transition down lane with great hitting power, this is the ball! Surface is adjustable as well, if you need to tame the backend’s a bit. I used this ball for the 2017 USBC Open Championships to ensure I was able to keep the pocket in play and still carry. This is a must have ball!!!

Clean, Strong down lane motion

900 Global re-released the Respect and I am happy they did. I did not get to throw the first version of this ball. I feel the motion I get from this ball was needed in the line, at least for me. Sometimes I felt the HB or the Badger were just not enough ball to really open the lanes up like I wanted to. I needed just a little stronger ball to do this and still get the needed hitting power. This ball is it!! It allows me to get left and open my angles up when the lanes have broken down. The polished hybrid gives you plenty of length with plenty of retained energy for the down lane motion. If you don’t have one you should get one now why you can! You will be kicking yourself if you don’t. It is all about Respect!

Controllable, Predictable, Smooth

The Shadow Ops is sneaky good. It has the new S25 Hybrid Coverstock. This is an 80/20 urethane and reactive urethane blend. Inside the coverstock is the proven Break Asymmetric core. This combination is special and allows for several different uses. It is adaptable to just about any situation and allows the bowler to easily control the pocket and still have plenty of energy at the pins. It is more than capable of handling house shot’s and allows you to stay further right on the fresh and play the track area. As the track burns up it is has plenty of strength to allow you to go left and use the burn to your advantage. It does not matter if you are a tournament player or a league bowler this ball can help you manage the wet dry of any condition. Do not overlook this ball when it comes to looking for a urethane ball. This ball gives you the best of both worlds without breaking your pocketbook! I promise, you will not be disappointed in the versatility this ball gives you!

Clean with Skid/Flip reaction

The Tactical Ops is the sister to the Covert Ops! It is super clean and has a drastic change of direction compared to the Covert. It provides a very similar look to what the Black Ops offered. When the Covert seems to labor a bit on the back end then this is the ball you want to turn too. This ball will allow you to be cleaner through the heads and still maintain the needed hitting power to carry. The ball just does not quit. It is a stronger version of the Black Ops motion due to the S72 Cover. This will be a go to ball when I need to open up the lane and still want the needed hitting power this ball provides.

Strong, Continuous predictable motion

The Truth Tour introduces the all-new S78R coverstock. This ball provides you with that strong predictable motion we as bowlers seek on tougher lane conditions. When throwing it I had a hard time ever trying to get this ball to over react in the dry. It also allowed me to move into the oil and still have the needed hitting power at the pins. This is a stronger more versatile piece than the X2 in my opinion. This ball will help you score regardless of how hard a pattern can play. Get one and see for yourself!

As good, if not better, than the original X

This ball is just flat out great! It has everything you are looking for when trying to control the breakpoint as your ball exits the pattern. The X^2 does not overreact when it exits the pattern and allows you to control the pocket on those tuff tournament patterns. If this ball is not a benchmark ball, I don’t know what is! This ball is literally just a pinch stronger than the Original X. It continues with 900 Global’s Tour Preferred 700 Series expectations and quality. There is nothing better than throwing a ball that you know will work on just about anything. This is that ball!!!
