If you want it, go after it and make it happen.  If you don't, you have no one to blame but yourself....or maybe your just not throwing the right equipment  :)

To me the Protocol was good. But this ball is amazing. I haven't drilled a ball in a while and wanted to drill a case of them. its definitely my favorite 900 Global ball since the Break s75 so far. I havent really gotten it on sport patterns yet but it'll definitely be aTHS killer for me. The way it goes through the pins is impressive.

Loved and still love the S75. Should be able to put holes in one tomorrow. Tdub, any worries that this will be too strong for a THS?

It's got more continuation than the s75. It depends on your THS. I'm on medium on one house and a medium heavy on wood at the other. It covers a lot of boards on both but it's slightly better on wood cause it is a little cleaner due to the higher volume. I've gotten to where I'm slightly rev dominant so it depends on how you throw it and where u like to play. It forces me further left than my other San Antonio stuff.

Wow, for a pearl and no polish it looks quite shiny, it looks even better in person. Now to figure out a layout. Stay with what I have with my Protocol, or go with a bigger D/A? Protocol is at 50x5x40. Suggestions?

Unconfirmed reports (meaning I haven't seen it with my own eyes) say that it's a full arrow stronger than the Protocol

I went with the same layout as my protocol. It's cleaner and much stronger downlane. It forces me at least 4 & 2 deeper but its been even more at times.

Thanks, decided on 70*x5"x40*. I like the Protocol, but wanted a touch more length than either that and Incinerate Pearl and Eagle Pearl. I'll give it a try in league tonight. We have what I feel is a semi-lower volume THS. Video and numbers show that this is a smooth, but strong moving ball. My thinking is that this ball will be able to be used on a variety of shots.

It out hooks my protocol with ease drilled the same way and It covers at least 5-7 more boards on the backend easy.  The carry on this ball is freaking crazy :o.   The balls does look better in person I think.   :)  Now I have to get a couple more with  much longer pins..    Another Home run from Global..   2 Thumbs up from me

Pulled out the Network for league last night. I know its just 2 games and some change (ball change in the 3rd game), and more than likely needs some more games to get a more accurate description. The biggest thing that I noticed was the ease of length and the overall strenght on the backend move. So far this is the biggest backending ball that I have thrown. I was absolutely blown away with the backend move. The Protocol has a more continuous move throughout the length of the lane. Where as the Network has a more pronounced reaction on the back part of the mids and a strong move off the dry. This will easily allow many bowlers to open the lane up. If this were any grit lower than a T pad (4K abralon) I am not sure if it could be used much on a THS. Very nice ball so far from 900 Global. I can't wait to get some more games with it on some other shots to do an honest review of it.

Just watched the video.  The bal looks great as I love low RG/High Diff balls.  One think I did notice is the graphic at the begining says the diff is .055 and then Nick says it is .051

He also mentions something about seeing 6"+ of flare. Either way this ball flares a ton.

YES it does have a ton of flair.  ;D   It's A must have ball in your bag.  It's a great ball for your THS and Also works well on fresh longer oil patterns with some surface ajustments..  The ball should be available very soon at most proshops if not already..

What happened to the video?  Anyone know?  The video listed in this thread is marked "Private" now and all that I can find is one by Buddies.
