Wanted to share some thoughts on these three new balls from 900 Global, first some stats on myself.
15-16 MPH
about 400 rev rate
4.25 over and 3/8 up axis point (so a good amount of tilt)
All shots were thrown in league on a typical house shot on Brunswick Pro Lane.

This ball for me is going to be my starting piece to get first read on what the lanes are telling me. I was able to play a tad deeper on the lane and project the ball to about 5 without having a worry about it not coming back. Box finish is a tad allergic to the puddle but what shiny ball likes the puddle? This ball is strong enough to play the fresh and has enough recovery to play the deeper lines as the oil begins to go away. I was able to use this ball all 3 games of league due to it being versatile enough to do so. If I was still in a shop I would recommend this ball to majority of bowlers but don't think it would be good for a speed dominate type player. Also have to say the ball looks very sharp.

This was the ball that I was most excited about drilling but wasn't sure if I would be able to use it due to how strong the ball looked. That is why I drilled it the way I did. So wow is the ball strong with great mid lane read and very good continuation down the lane. Compared to other "strong" 900 Global Products this one is different because of that continuation. When I did use it from the get go I was at least 10-12 boards left of my dream with my feet and 8-10 left at the arrows. For me it's too strong for my typical house shot and if I were to use it on the fresh it wouldn't be the perfect reaction. I would need more volume and length to truly take advantage of this core cover combination. In my opinion you need some oil to use this ball but I believe that was 900 intent when they made this monster. If you are a speed dominate type player feel comfortable with putting your favorite drill on this and if you have a higher rev rate don't drill it too strong as it will be very limited on what you can use it on. By far it's the best "strong" ball that 900 has produced in my opinion..

First off I love the way this ball looks with the blue and black color mixture. I first thought this ball was entry level type and for dry lanes. Well for me it's stronger than I thought it would be now when I start with it in league on house pattern I had to move a little closer to the track area but the ball delivered very well. Then as the pattern breaks down you can chase the oil in with this ball. Overall very versatile piece in an entry level type ball. The only thing this ball doesn't like is a ton of oil but it wasn't designed for that.
If you have any questions please let me know.
