Turbo Regional Staff 900 Global Black Ops Review

Layout: 55 x 5.25 x 30
Oil Pattern: 40' with 25ML THS
Lane Surface: Wood
Bowler Specs: 330 Rev Rate 17 MPH 22* Tilt 66* Rotation
PAP: 5-3/8 over 1/2 up

Review:

The Black Ops from 900 Global brings back a core and cover combination used on proven winners The Break & Eagle. By using a polished finish on the S70 coverstock 900 Global has given us a product that gets through the front and middle part of the lane and stores up energy for the backend. This results in an effortless push down lane with a powerful yet controlled motion in the back that seldom over-reacts. A must have in every tournament player's bag!!!

About the Bowler

900 Global Break Down

Layout: 70 x 4.5 x 70
Oil Pattern: 40' with 25ML THS
Lane Surface: Wood
Bowler Specs: 330 Rev Rate 17 MPH 22* Tilt 66* Rotation
PAP: 5-3/8 over 1/2 up

Review:

The Break Down is another great use of the S70 coverstock this time in combination with a higher RG and lower Diff version of the proven Break Core. These parts combine to offer a smoother and more controlled motion than the Black Ops without sacrificing any power at the pins. I used a layout that produces a clean and smooth motion to help accentuate what the ball is designed to do and couldn't be more pleased. This has become the go to ball for me on wet/dry conditions or when I need to play right on short patterns that hook a lot on the back.

About the Bowler

900 Global Chemical X

Layout: 55 x 4-1/4 x 60
Oil Pattern: 40' with 25ML THS
Lane Surface: Wood
Bowler Specs: 330 Rev Rate 17 MPH 22* Tilt 66* Rotation
PAP: 5-3/8 over 1/2 up

Review:

The Pod Symmetric core is a great shape that gives tons of control. I drilled the Chemical X with a smooth transition in mind and it gave me exactly what I was hoping for. Smooth early roll, strong arcing mid lane motion and tons of control on the back end. Very nearly a urethane type motion but with the pop of reactive resin. This ball was designed for tournament use mostly and will be in my bag whenever I bowl on more difficult conditions. It is a great compliment to my Break Down on tighter and shorter patterns.

About the Bowler

900 Global Dream

Layout: 50 x 5-1/8 x 35
Oil Pattern: 40' with 25ML THS
Lane Surface: Wood
Bowler Specs: 330 Rev Rate 17 MPH 22* Tilt 66* Rotation
PAP: 5-3/8 over 1/2 up

Review:

I love what a strong pearl asymmetric has to offer and so the Dream by 900 Global is right in my wheelhouse. The 74 Response Pearl and Identity Asymmetric core are a great compliment. The cover helps the ball through the first 20 feet of the lane and allows the core to store up energy for a big sharp continuous motion down lane. This is a house shot Dream!!! And something you should own if you bowl often on THS conditions.

About the Bowler

900 Global Dream Big

Layout: 50 x 5-1/8 x 35
Oil Pattern: 40' with 25ML THS
Lane Surface: Wood
Bowler Specs: 330 Rev Rate 17 MPH 22* Tilt 66* Rotation
PAP: 5-3/8 over 1/2 up

Review:

The Dream Big was my personally most anticipated release from 900 Global and it didn't fail to live up to expectations. Using the 79 Alert Solid on the Identity Asymmetric core has given us one of the biggest motions available on the market. I used my favorite layout on this monster to compare it to the original Dream and was awarded with 6-8 more boards of hook and the ability to handle a ton more oil in the head and middle part of the lane. If you are looking for "hook in a box" you should definitely give the Dream Big a look.

Finish: 1500 Grit, Polished
Color: Orange/Red/Silver
Core: Tetra LD™ Symmetric
Flare Potential: 4-5″
Layout: 45* x 5-1/8 x 33*

Bowler specs:
17 MPH

I loved the Dream from 900 Global so I was highly excited to see the release of the Respect Pearl since it has the same cover and it has not disappointed. Since drilling it about 5 weeks ago it has not left my bag and it is the first ball out to see the initial transition of the lanes once one of the Engineer series balls begins to hook too soon. I have seldom in all the hundreds of balls I have drilled ever had a ball that finishes as strong as the Respect Pearl. Just ordered my second one and can't wait to try another layout on this gem.
