I loved so much the solid version of the original Reality. It's my favourite strongest ball. Now his pearl version, the Altered Reality, is a realy good complement. The Altered Reality might have maybe the strongest midlane roll of any polished ball that I have ever thrown. Even she is shiny, this thing gets through the fronts but then absolutely just digs into the middle part of the lane. The altered have a big rounded predictible reaction. For me, it's a perfect ball to use on a fresh medium oil house shot, but sometimes it is even too much for that too on my bowling center! So she will be perfect for tournaments in others bowling center who will have more oil than mine. Another 900G balls who must to have !!

Wow! The Burner Pearl is the perfect entry level ball but it's performed much better than is little price. With the S62 cover, The Burner Pearl works really great on medium to dry conditions, it is really versatile. The Burner Pearl has a great motion and hit like a upper level ball. It's perfect to pass through the burned transition. So, for a night begin in a bowling center where have less oil or a end league night or with many game played during a tournament, the burner pearl is my better choice !!! #goglobal #strikingworldwide #900globalquebec

The 900 Global Harsh Reality is a really good replacement for the original Reality. For me, is the perfect line that I like to play just front of me with a big oil conditions. The Harsh goes a little bit far on the lane and hit also harder than original reality. I also can play longer with even if the lane become dryer because the Harsh reality is able to continu to closed correctly to the pins when I goes left. Compared to the RotoGrip Magic Gem, this one read more the mid part of the lane and closed less harder at the triangle. I also compared the Harsh reality againts the 900 Global Xponent. The Xponent did average the same think but really less strong. If the you have heavy oil condition, the Harsh is perfect and if is more med oil condition, go with the Xponent. It can also each others were a good 1-2 punch complement. It can also be a really good choice for bowlers who doesn't have lot of rotation. For sure, the 900Global Harsh Reality will be my trustable ball for heavy oil conditions. #strikingworldwide !!

WoW :o !!!! This ball is really not afraid of oil! It's THE ball that I will use in first when I will hearing the word oil for sure !! It's a huge benchmark ball. The Reality reading perfectly the first part of the lane with his super strong S84 RESPONSE cover and his DISTURBANCE ASYMMETRIC CORE and continu the same smooth motion to the pins. For me, The Reality is really clean and smooth, so easy to play with no over react at the end. It's perfect also for the low rev player. My drilling is 70x 4 3/4x30. Another great #900Global product !! You need one !! #strinkingworldwide #900globalquebec P-Luc Larouche

For me, The reality Check is an another success of the reality family !

Even if I didn't play a lot with the original Reality because of is big solid surface, I had really loved it and it's follow me when I go on te tournament road. However, last year I played a lot with the pearl version, the Altered Reality and I had a lot of succes with !

It was a really smooth and predictable ball. For this one, the Reality Check come with a hybrid surface and for me the reaction is really different of the 2 previous one. I drilled mine 50 x 5 x 40. For a assymetric ball, it passed the first part of the lane very well and keep a really biggest reaction on the entry of the pins. It will be for sure a good house shot and transition ball. This ball seems to fit many styles of play.

The all new Sublime is the first 900 Global core to feature A.I. Core technology combined with the 802 hybrid cover created a low RG of 2.47 and Differential of 0.053. I tested this ball on a typical house pattern 41 feet. It's my perfect benchmark ball. I had a great look in the track just front of me when I begin the play and when I open my angles up to right and moving my feet left the ball reaction continu to be good without losing striking power. The reacta gloss makes its clean through the front with a great midlane reaction to the pocket. This is a great ball for all levels of bowlers. When I begin to loss power because I'm too on the left part on the lane, I change with the Storm Summit peak without make change and I continu to go left for some more games. the Sublime follow me in all bowling places that I go for sure, league and tournament.

Wow The Sublime Focus is a oil monster ! For sur, the strongest ball in my bag. Like to the original Sublime, the Focus offering a smooth and predictable motion but on more oiled conditions. She gives me a clean reaction on the fronts with a smooth, controlled move downlane, it's perfect on big oiled conditions. If you want a ball for helping you for heavier oil, the Sublime Focus makes a great choice or also for the bowlers that not have big rotation, she will help you to give you the help to go on the pocket. The sublime Focus is now my first choice to put in my bag on the tournament road when I know that I will need some rugh surface.

The Wolverine is one of my favourite SPI ball this year ! It is for me the perfect ball for the dry lanes conditions. The wolverine is for me, more rounded than other especialy on the middle part of the lane. She make just give the little hit that I need at the backend but not agressively. I can play straighter front of me but I'm prefered to cross a big part of the lane when it's more dry. Reeeeaaalllyyy predictible. I already won a tournament this year with ! You need one in your bag for sure !! Try it !!!

The 900 Global zen for me is the perfectly versatile ball for oiled conditions. It give me great result even if I want to play straighter or more one side to the other of the lane. It's my benchmark ball to begin to play when I know that it have oil on the lane. If it's not enought agressive I will go with the reality, or the aspect if is too strong. It's also a ball that I will play a long moment before need to change it. She give me great result as long as it will have oil zone on the lane. So, the original zen is maybe the ball of the year but the zen master, the best complement of the year. #goglobal

The Zen family is a sign of succes for me. The 900 Global Zen Soul features the S77 response hybrid reactive cover and the Mediate core. When I saw this ball was a hybrid, I was Thinking that ball would fit in between the Zen Master and the original Zen and it fits right between them. The Zen Soul react a litle bit later on the lane as the Zen Master but has more shape down the lane off the friction. Compared to the original Zen, the Zen Soul is a bit earlier and smoother. The Zen Soul allows me to control the lane like two others with not too big reaction. 900 Global has made another great succes ball with the Zen soul. It's for sure, a ball that will follow me on the tournament road. #strikingworldwide #900globalquebec

The new Exotic Gem is my discovery of the year !! With is clean reacta gloss finish, it's pass easily the first part of the lane. However, like the 900 Global Zen,with its matte color, it makes this ball really controllable. The Exotic don't give a too much hit when it's arrive on the back end like many pearl balls. It just give the right hit at the end of the lane with a big continuous motion between the pins. I can play many lines with; more straight in front of me or go to the left to pass across the lanes. It's will be the perfect house shot ball but for sure, in my bag on all tournaments that I will play this year. It's a no brainer ball ! You need it one on you bag, trust me !!! #ownit

If you search a oil monster, the Roto Grip Magic Gem is for you !! Also for people that have less rotation it can help you to make a good reaction. For me, the Magic Gem have a really nice round react. It's perfect for the sport patern who have a lot oil on it or at a begining of a league night for game 1 and sometimes 2. It's no doubt, the most agressive ball on m bag. It's correctly replace the 900Global reality. I really love to play with !! #ownit !!!

The Optimum Idol pearl is a perfect house shot ball and also a great transition ball. The Optimum Idol Pearl is very smooth downlane with a great backend reaction. Compared to others pearl balls, the don't give a too big hit when she see the backend and continu to be very controlable, maybe because is dense color. She make me thinks at the Zen ball on the 900 Global line. For me, the pearl version is a really great complement to the solid version. When my original Optimum Idol become to strong and have difficulties to react at the end, I keep the same spot but with the pearl and it give me the supp slide that I need. I REALLY love the Idol Optimum pearl. It's a must to have !!

Hi bowlers !! To be fully transparent, the first time that I throw it, I didn't liked it !! The fres surface was too shiny for the oil lanes conditions that we have. I had no reaction, the ball pass right. So I just passed a 3000 with hand just to remove the extra shiny. After, I had a lot more of reactions on the backend. Maybe also with a couples of games on it. Now, the Absolute is a ball that I can use with a good amount of oil. It's reads well the mid part of the lane and become to react at this moment so I have a good big round react with the combinasion also of the assym core and R2S deep hybrid cover. It'a a ball that I will use on the beginning when I know that it have medium or high oil condition. So, a great ball that you will be able to change the surface easily according what you want !! #stormnation

“The Axiom is a perfect ball for medium to heavy oil pattern. The Storm axiom pearl for me is the good complement to my nuclear cell from Roto Grip.
The fact that the axiom is an symetric pearl ball with a lower Rg of 2.48 compared to the Nuclear who is assymetric with a upper Rg of 2.52 give me a really good transition ball after that the nuclear begin to lost energy when the oil begin to burned. I’m able to squeeze me inside and the Axiom pass the heads and keep more energy on the back-end.
Another great addition to my arsenal !!”

I always loved the Physix serie !!! Even if it's an assymetrical series, for me, all the Physix was been good for dry lane too !

For these, I drilled mine 65 X 5 1/4 X 35.

I think that it will be good on multiple patterns, lane surfaces, and volumes and it's for this reason that it will be probably my benchmark ball. It's a really good compliments the rest of the actual line. It's really predictable. If you search an assymetrical ball that have continuous motion on the pins, the Infinite Physix is you choice !!

For sure, this ball will follow me on my tournament bag !!

I realllllyy like the new Journey. It's a perfect house shot ball. With the combination of the symetrical weightbloc, TX-16 coverstock and the reacta gloss finish, this ball give a great lenght and a big angle at the end. I drill mine with pins over my finger.
It's the first ball that I try during league night. This way, I can know if I need to go for a stronger ball like Virtual Energy Blackout or the 900 Global Sublime. Also, if there is too strong, I can go down with the IQ tour ruby or 900G Zen Gold Label. This ball is versatile for most of the bowlers and many different style. The Journey give lot of control on medium conditions and it's really easy to go left (for right hander) more and more and the ball continu to enter on the pins with the right angle and a big hit !! It's maybe not the perfect choice for heavy oil condition for me but for sure, a trustable choice for all other conditions !! I will never hesited to have this ball on my tournament arsenal. #stormnation

I really love the Storm Summit Peak. I drilled mine with pin over my fingers. It's a perfect transition ball. The Summit Peak gives me a clean, smooth ball reaction. For me, the Summit is a perfect complement to my 900 Global Sublime. On the house shots conditions, I begin with the Sublime and when it become to miss some punch at the end, I keep the same place and change for the Summit Peak and it give me the backend reaction that I need. Thogether those balls create a perfect ''1-2 punch''. The Peak go across the centrer better thant the Sublime with the pearl surface. the The Summit Peak is unlike anything else with the mix of a pearl surface the TX-23 with the performance-proven A.I. Core Technology, this bowling ball is a “must have” by bowlers of all skill levels of pitch.This combines control, predictible and dynamic ball motion. I have it in my bags on my tournament road for sure ! #summitpeak #stormnation

I REAALLLYYY love this ball since I throw it. I use it with the hybrid OOB surface. On house or sport patterns this ball impress me so much because in all cases, this ball reacts so well off the end of the pattern even if is really agressive at the middle of the lane. It's one of the ball that I try on first to give me a good imprression of the lane pattern. I can use as much on all kind of pattern, just front of me when there are much oil or cross the lane when oil condition are more dry. The Trend 2 give me a lot of possibilities !!! In my bag for all tournament this next year for sure !! #stormnation

I bought this ball without much expectation and especially in connection with the general madness of seeing this product again on the lanes. At the beginning, I was really not exited about the ball reaction that I'm saw. With the oob surface, for me it was really not controllable and I really disliked. After change the surface with a handled 1000 pad, the reaction completely changed for a great strong smooth react. I played a full 5 games 44 feet pattern tournament just with opened my angle more and more and the ball continued to give me a good rounded mid-lane reaction and a big hit at the enter's triangle. So the virtual energy passed from a ball that I'm thinked that I would totaly not used to a ball that follow me on my bag tournament. So, surface changes make sometimes all difference according to our style. #stormnation
