Hey friends!

Over the weekend I won a tournament sponsored by 900 Global which included a prize of a 900 Global amateur staff contract. I'm very excited, but this means recreating my entire arsenal.

I'm fairly familiar with their lineup, but there is much research to be done! I'll probably start with 4-5 pieces.

-White Hot
-Claw
-Tactical Ops
-?

What's everyone's favorite ball at the moment?

 Check with the user impending doom. He has much mojo where the Global world revolves.

Thanks man. It was a great tournament, and I bowled great!

I've been throwing Motiv stuff for roughly 5 years as a high rev med-high speed player. My main scratch league is on wood, but I bowl all over MKE. Here's a few of the main items I've been throwing:

OG Forza: forward rolling smooth
Jackal Ghost: angular Asym
Trident quest: mainly used on very clean backends
Venom Cobra: smooth rolling angular on dry
Tag: hit it as hard as I can at the bottom and destroy racks

I'm really looking forward to some new stuff, as you can see, my go-to balls are aging.

Respect: really intrigues me as a strong angular symmetrical
After Dark Solid: Tag replacement?
White Hot Badger: Middle of the road pearl and beautiful

Would the Respect and White Hot overlap too much?

Congrats on winning that tournament! I know exactly the one you speak of! My personal input to replace what you had:
Forza-Truth Tour
Jackal Ghost-Dream On
Trident Quest-Space Time Continuum
Venom Cobra-Boost Hybrid
Tag-After Dark Solid

I pretty much agree with ImpendingDoom (THE 900 Global Guru), but I feel the Dream On is closer to the downlane shape that the Ghost could have, just might need to play with the surface to fill whatever you did before. Also, while I definitely see the Eon Infinite recommendation (and is newer), the Truth Tour has become a Global staple for front to back, slower response lane play. Also, I second putting a Respect and Black Ops in the bag. They are truly a trademark. Wish there was more room for a Honey Badger, but that might be due to me not being familar with the White Hot in person.

Very true. I like your options even more!

The Shadow Ops, Dream On, and Truth Tour were just discontinued this month per my distributor

I think I'm going to start with 4 and see where holes may be after that. I'm going to skip the huge asym oiler for now, and I'm thinking a boost may be an additional add as well.

Eon Infinite - More forward rolling layout
Black Ops - Big round shape
Respect - Strong and sharp
White Hot - Long and angular

Do the Black Ops and Respect overlap? I feel the top three all have similar numbers, but I've heard the Black Ops is a deal breaker

In my opinion, I would break the surface on the Ops, and keep the surface on the Respect. That way, you have one big ball with surface, one big ball with more response down lane, one assym with a little surface, then the White Hot.

Boost is a good idea, also a HB. (Isn't it awesome having so much good equipment available to you???)

Yes...yes it is
