Sublime
« on: January 05, 2024, 11:35:17 AM »
Introducing the Sublime, a revolutionary addition to the 900 Global product line. This bowling ball showcases cutting-edge technology, featuring the Reserve Blend 802 Hybrid Cover with Reacta Gloss for versatility within the 800 Series. Paired with the groundbreaking Immersed Symmetric A.I. Core, this ball offers a unique reaction shape for bowlers seeking a new symmetric option. The Immersed Symmetric A.I. Core is the first of its kind in the 900 Global lineup, incorporating A.I. Core Technology. This groundbreaking process allows for unprecedented control over RGs and differentials, resulting in a ball with a lower RG and higher differential. The outcome is a faster-rolling ball that maximizes surface contact with the lane, particularly excelling in light pocket hits due to enhanced energy distribution. The core's concave/barbell shape, featuring larger masses at the north and south poles, creates a potent torque effect. This design minimizes material removal from the weight block during drilling, preserving the core's integrity across multiple drillings. Whether you face various lane conditions, the Sublime is designed to meet the challenge. The Reserve Blend 802 Hybrid Cover combines elements from the S84 Response Solid Cover and the S70 Pearl Cover, creating a two-part pearl and one-part solid hybrid fusion. This innovative shell ensures optimal performance on a wide range of lane patterns, making the Sublime a versatile choice for bowlers of all styles.

  The new ball from 900 Global is the Sublime.  The Sublime is the first 900 Global ball to use the new AI technology.  Also using all new Core and new Reserve Blend 802 hybrid Cover.  I drilled mine 4.25 x 4 x 2 pin up. This ball is very good, and matches up with my ball roll real well.  I find the reaction as a little early and a little downlane.  Just what you would think from an Hybird cover.  The Sublime is a little forward rolling for me off of the breakpoint for me.  But it carries unbelievable for me on house shots and medium Sport patterns.  (AI helps) I have drilled several for customers at the shop, 2 handers, tweeners and down and in players.  All like the reaction, its just different roll but in a very good way. They all mentioned to me its a unique roll. Something fits very well in any bowlers arsenal.

Layout: 50 x 4 ½ x 35

The Sublime adds a unique shape to the 900 Global lineup – a smooth, strong, yet clean reaction that is very much at home on medium-dry to medium-heavy oil conditions.  It ignores the heads but has a strong arcing reaction that starts in the early midlane and continues through the pindeck. The smoother nature of the Sublime lends it to being less oil sensitive than other medium-oil bowling balls that are more skid-flip. Bowling balls such as the Xponent Pearl or Summit Peak are cleaner and flippier, and are better for medium-dry to purely medium oil conditions, but are more sensitive to oil. Those balls are great choices to go to after the Sublime.

900 Global Sublime

Cover: Reserve Blend 802 Hybrid
Core: Immersed Symmetric A.I.
Finish: Reacta Gloss Polish

Review:
Looking for a great-looking ball with a mid-lane roll that can pack a punch when it hits the pins? Look no further than Sublime from 900 Global. This ball being a hybrid offers a clean through the fronts with a strong roll in the mid-lane while providing plenty of pop on the back end. I have changed the surface on this ball several times and have enjoyed the versatility. Generally, I do not match up very well with Hybrid cover stocks, but with the combination of the new AI core technology and the new hybrid cover stock blend I find this ball as one of the first out of my bag depending on the lane conditions I am bowling on. Make sure you snag one of these beasts.

The new 900 Global Sublime is the first 900 Global ball to feature the A.I. core technology.  The Immersed Symmetric A.I. core is wrapped in the new Reserve Blend 802 hybrid coverstock.  At 15 pounds this ball has a RG of 2.47 and a differential of .056.  Drilling this ball 5x4x2 puts the pin above my middle finger and provides additional length through the front part of the lane.  The Sublime is a very even reaction type ball.  It has a smooth arcing motion on medium to medium-dry lane conditions.  The A.I. core technology provides superb hitting power through the pins.  This ball can be used on many lane conditions but is best suited for medium volume oil patterns.  The Sublime will not be the most hooking ball, or the ball with the sharpest backend, but it will be the ball that gets a lot of use.  This is a great benchmark ball with the added bonus of the A.I core.  You need to throw this ball to understand just how real the difference in this core technology is.  The first Global ball to feature this core, but certainly won’t be the last!

Perfect Benchmark ball

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.

The Sublime is a completely new ball.  With A coverstock that is the combination of the S84 Response Solid found on the Reality and the S70 Pearl found on the Wolverine Dark Moss,  you get the Reserve Blend 802 Hybrid!  The core is the Immersed Symmetric AI core.  The combination of core and cover gives you medium/strong reaction that is unique to anything we had in the line.  Straight out of the box, I had a lot of over/under with it.  It wouldn’t bite in the oil and was too responsive off the friction.  I hit it with a 3000 pad and it wasn’t enough. Once I hit it with a 2000 pad it gave me a reaction that I could work better with.  The customers that I push this ball for are ones that need a little help with hook.  I drilled a few of these for some ladies and they have been VERY successful with it.  Because of the lower RG and Increased diff, this ball is perfect for that crowd.

900 Global Sublime Ball Review by PJ Haggerty

The Sublime from 900 Global is one of the newest additions to the Batch 800 Blend and it’s been impressive so far.  The R&D experts in Utah created a new Hybrid Cover (Reserve Blend 802) along with a new core (Immersed Symmetric A.I.).  This new technology has provided us as players with a sweet rolling  symmetrical ball that’s been useful on multiple surfaces and patterns.

I’ve drilled one so far and think it rolls great.  It’s mapped out as 5 x 4.5 x 3.  This puts the pin above my ring finger and a stacked CG.  I also adjusted the surface a bit with a 3000 pad by hand.  Because the RG is so low (2.47) and the differential is strong (.056), I wanted to knock the shine off to slow the response time a bit.  I bowl in a center that hooks a bunch and sometimes the asymmetrical balls burn up because of too much friction.  With the surface at 3000 on the Sublime, it helps not read the front as quick, stores energy, and runs over the 8 pin consistently. 

From a lane-play standpoint, I’ve seen this ball be useful for lower-rev players who need a ball to start up but not burn up.  They’ve been able to stay in their comfort zone and the Sublime looks great.  For the two handers or more rev-dominate players, this ball is perfect for someone who wants to create shape but also a quick response time compared to the Gem, Eternity Pi, or Absolute Power.

Go drill one!

900 GLOBAL - SUBLIME

Pattern B: 43Ft, 29.86 Mls, 5:1 ratio MODIFIED HOUSE

REVIEW
DRILL – 4 X 4.5 X 4

PLAY

The SUBLIME is a ball you use when trying to smooth out down lane reaction and not give up too much power. 

Pattern A:

Out of box the SUBLIME actually tricked me at first. Set out on fresh sport. Initially I had over and under, as I searched for a consistent line. Too early or too late was the initial thoughts. Waited for next group to jump in and transition the pattern. This is where the SUBLIME had better results. The pattern hit mid lane friction and the SUBLIME capitalized on the initial pattern transition read, move towards the pins and smoothed out for the finish.

Pattern B:

Out of Box SUBLIME jumped all over this. Initial line was 12-5 and migrated in to finish with 17-10 and 17 to 5. No problems with volume of oil due to two oils used and friction right. Ball control for the pattern was easy. Wasn’t speed sensitive or jumpy off the spot.

Typical house moves on a higher volume than most places.  High scores and Big angles.


LOWDOWN: When playing the fresh with SUBLIME play from the right baby swing angles and move in. If high rev player jump in quick. Tweener have the whole right side on house patterns.
