Dream Review
« on: October 17, 2014, 09:07:48 AM »
OOB Surface and layout is 55 x 4 1/2 x 50. 

I have used the Dream on THS and medium sport pattern.

This ball is great for both types of patterns.  THS this ball pushed through the heads and picks up down lane with a nice backend reaction.  On the THS this ball reminds me of my old Storm Gravity with the same type of reaction.  I have found that if i can keep my line a little straighter/tighter with this ball that the carry percentage goes up. Would highly recommend this ball for someone looking for a good pearl that can still handle the heavier oil in the middle of the lanes.
On the sport pattern the ball played great from up the boards and pushed through the fronts with ease.  Ball had enough pop to carry out the ten.  The Dream can handle the medium oil with no problem and gives a consistent read of the lanes. 

I recommend this ball for regular league bowlers or tournament bowlers as it works well on both types of conditions.  Should be a easy sell for pro shops also as this ball has pretty nice shelf appeal.

How does the Dream compare with the Network. I have a Network which is drilled pin up and doesn't have near the backend that I thought it would. The carry is pretty good but it is not a ball I can swing much. I have a Moxie on order right now which should show up this week

The Network, for me, was VERY midlaney. Thats due to the intermediate diff being so high. Now, the Dream has a lower intermediate diff, so that, along with the weight block shape being different (CFT had a very unique roll to it), you should have more length and more pop off the spot.

Well I have a Dream, but do not have a Network.

But I can tell you with the up most confidence that the Dream will hook, this is the strongest pearl 900 Global has put out to date. I love my Dream, I have not liked a ball this much sense the Storm Reign came out. But this ball is stronger than a Reign, or a Victory Road.

Network will roll early compared to the Dream. The Network is still angular, but the Dream is extremely angular. More length with the Dream as well. I believe 900 Global did a comparison of the 2 in one of their Dream videos. Either of them are very good balls. I like both.

Got to throw the Dream on the Sydney pattern this Sunday and have to say I was very surprised by the way it did not overreact off of the dry.  Breakpoint was around 3 board and the ball cleared heads good and made  a nice move on the backend, but not uncontrollable.
