I have been throwing 900 GLOBAL from many many years now and all I can say is, I love there equipment from there bottom line of balls all the way to there HIGH end with everything inbetween.  I have pretty much thrown every ball they have released in the U.S and there Overseas line as well with a exception of a couple of there lower end stuff because ive never bowled where I would need that weak of equipment.. as for there new releases  WOW  very impressive from top to bottom right now!!!!

 Ball speed 18.5-19 MPH  PAP 4 1/4 over 3/4 down and I throw with out useing my thumb with 1 hand not 2 
 

  Boo Yah!!!   a great ball to have in your bag on those really tough conditions where its hard to get lined up shot after shot.  ball rolls really smoth and its very perdictable down the lane for most bowlers throwing it.   A must ball to have in the bag thats for sure if you see tough conditions all the time.. drilled 25 X 4 1/2 X 20

 Respect Pearl.  this ball flat out moves down lane.  this ball is very smooth going through the head oil and once it hits friction it grabs and never stops hooking till the ball runs out of lane..  it goes a few feet longer then the org. Respesct but it to can cover the boards with the best of balls.  not a bad choice to have in the bag if your looking for a ball with a ton of backend.. drilled 35 X 4 1/2 X 20

  Black OPS..   this is a nother remake of there #1 seller of all time.  I could go on and on about how great this ball is but I wont waste anyones time telling you that this ball has been 1 of the top balls throwing in nationals for the last 5 years  that pretty much sums up how well this ball rolls.  it has a nice mid roll read and has a great continuious roll on the back end of the lane.   if you ever find yourself bowling nationals and your not sure what to throw, look no furture then this ball or another 1 with the S-70 cover with the break core.. its just a beast   drilled 35 X 4 X 30

 Chemical X   they hit a home run with this ball for sure.  IM not a big fan of there lower series balls but this 1 I love.   This ball reads the mid lane with ease and has a great backend as well.  for this being a mid price ball with a roll of a high end ball you cant go wrong if you was to put this ball in your bag and im sure your honor score will come shortly after that.   best ball out there for its price point.. drilled 32 X 4 1/2 X 25

 Dream BIG.  like they say  dream BIG or go home.  this ball is all that and them some.. if you see oil then this is a ball to have in the bag for sure.. reads the mid still very well even in heavy oil and once this ball hits friction it breaks lose and takes it punishment out on the pins with ease.   this ball is for heavier oil  ball still rolls well on mid oil too for those bowlers that dont see a ton of oil on There THS   this ball is will roll its best on sport conditions  and PBA patterns thats for sure.  this ball is a must ball to have in the bag if your looking for the WOW factor and big scores.. drilled 30 X 5 X 35


 900 Global themselfs..  they have always raised the bar every time a new line comes out.  they have 1 of the best customer services in the bowling world.  there R & D has come a long ways in a short amount of time and I only see it getting better in the near future and down the road for the long haul....  they try to design there equipment to  cover just about every bowler out there and there styles of bowling.    If you haven't tried 900 global you have no idea what your missing.  Ive had more honor scores and have raised my avg. as well since i switched to them.  I think there 1 of the best companies out there and I will continue throwing them for many more years to come..  Id like to give a special thanks to Mr Eric thomas for getting me to join them back in 2008  and also a special thanks to TJ in sales and marketing for all the time he has giving me over the time he has been with 900 Global as well.  Thanks to everyone at 900 GLOBAL for everything they do for all the bowlers out there..   Now its time to get your hands on 1 of there new releases or even 1 or there older releases and see what you've been missing.. good luck   This is not a review from a 900 Global staff member.. just a loyal bowler to this company.. Thanks

Why is a review "better" if you have 5 balls from 5 different companies in your bag?

To be honest, it doesn't make it better.  But one has to think about who the review is geared toward.  If the review is aimed at the non-900 Global bowler, what do they want to hear?  They want to hear how the 900 Global ball is better than the ball they have.  Convince the Crux owner to get a Dream Big.  Convince me the Boo-Ya is better than a Venom Shock.

Or maybe the review is intended to get the 900 Global die-hard to get the ball.  Explain how the Chemical X is the perfect complement or step down from the Boo-Ya.  Or how the Black Ops complements the Dream Big on heavier shots.

And above all else, at least have a statement about the limitations you have seen with the ball.  This should be mandatory!

Either way, there is a better way to explain and describe the way a ball performs for the reviewer.  And after all of the bickering and complaining people have done about crappy ball reviews (which this person acknowledges by the title) don't do the exact same thing as a "bad" staffer.

So true lefty50.

This thread is why I would never submit a ball review here. We are all a bunch of vultures waiting to pounce on the poor sole who dares to give us the chance.

I am always happy when my reviews don't draw negative attn

Just a heads up. Chemical X is not a step down from the Boo-Yah. The Boo-Yah is a urethane ball that will match up best on short patterns on when a THS gets really wet/dry. It is mostly a condition specific ball. Chemical X is easily stronger. The Dream Big has one of the strongest covers I have ever thrown. The biggest and maybe only limitation the Dream Big has is when there isn't enough oil. It will make it look like the ball doesn't hook. It will burn up. The Black Ops compliments the Dream Big because it has a big asymmetric core, but a weaker shiny cover. This allows you to use the Black Ops when you still need an asymmetric reaction but with a way cleaner ball motion. Let's not forget the Black Ops is selling in our Mid Price point. The Respect pearl for me is about a 5 board difference, but way cleaner through the front. I actually find the ball motion to be smoother than the original Respect because they lowered the diff on the ball. So for me it fills a spot in the bag, and doesn't overlap the Black Ops. Just wanted to give you a little information. Only ball so far, that is more condition specific other than the Boo-Yah is the Break Down. The Break Down for me on the right condition will strike for days. I have I believe 3 or 4 800s and 300s with it. But put it on a THS that has a ton of hold, it will flat 10 on me or 2 pin, because 9 out of 10 misses for my style will be left. Let me know if you have any questions. I will be glad to answer any of them.

I do understand that. I am sure the review was there to state how much he/she liked the reactions they are seeing out of the new equipment. As I said, you can PM me or ask any questions about our equipment or any other equipment for that matter. I do drill other stuff for bowlers/staffers. I can compare a lot of our equipment to other companies. 900 Global has a really well rounded line up that I am not sure can be beat right now.
