I am new to global. I just purchased the bounty and love it. I was wondering what would be a good arsenal to go with. I was thinking maybe the Bounty,Break s75, Break pearl, and the link. I am also a tweener with medium ball speed. i appreciate any feedback

dont forget your awakening! Awesome benchmark piece.

If you like your Bounty I do a solid Break, Break Pearl then either a Maniac or Creature Pearl. If you go from your Break Peal to a link you will have a very big gap to cross.
Good luck and I hope this helps.

Why limit yourself to only four? My current 900 Global line-up is:
Bounty
Break S75
Break
Break Pearl
Maniac
Creature Pearl
I have a four ball roller and a two ball tote. Of course I get regularly laughed at...until I take their money!

Some of us dont have the money to invest in more and not trashing you, but some of us only like taking 4
--------------------
My Arsenal:
Bounty(4.5 x 4.75 Fresh 1000 Abralon)
Twisted Fury(5 x 4 500 Abralon + Reacta Shine)
Raw Hammer Pain(Leverage 1000 Abralon)
Blue Vibe(5 x 5 4000 Abralon + Reacta Shine)

I agree with the above, but I might add a Maniac to the mix if you want a ball in between the Creature and the Break(s), and then of course a spare ball.
Bounty
Break Solid (or s75)
Break Pearl
Maniac
Creature (Solid or Pearl)
Link (if you get dry lanes)
BAM
Right now I've only got a BAM and a Link, but I'm working on replacing my whole arsenal with 900 Global. This is what I'm considering:
Bounty
Break S75
Break Pearl
Maniac
Creature Solid
Link
BAM

I'm going to chime in on this one. Bounty, Break Pearl, Break, Maniac, Pearl Creature, Link. I am bypassing the Creature solid due to the link is not as weak of a ball as people are thinking. The reason I skipped the Break S75 is for me, it's about the same as the Break Pearl. It would have been a good choice had the Bounty not come out. All of 900 Global equipment is top notch. Awesome people as well to do business with. Technically, I think the Maniac would be before the Break since the Maniac gets into a roll earlier and not snap as hard as the Break.

I appreciate the feedback, what is the difference between the breaks75 and the break solid

hello delpzooka
the s75 ball has an extra element added to the resin mix to make it a soaker ball.. this ball actually likes more oil in it then it does having it taken out of it.. this type of ball becomes stronger the dirtier it gets in a manner of speaking, you do not want to clean this ball after each 3 game set.. you want to bake it after about 60-75 games in and do not alter the cover on this ball leave it as out of the box state.. the s75 will be earlier rolling and should be stronger in the backend department depending on how it is drilled .. the break solid is strong but not as strong as the s75.. for a arsenal I would suggest a bounty, s75, the break solid, the break pearl(1st - 4 balls are asymmetrical cores) and a creature pearl(symmetrical core).. depending on how much hand you have the maniac is a very early rolling ball(could be a conditional ball) also the link I think is a conditional ball too.. Im not having very much luck finding the right surface to keep mine at, very oil/dry sensitive for me.. look into getting a global awakening(symmetrical core) and maybe even a (new company but being poured by 900global) kinetic solaris(symmetrical core, but supposedly very angular).. hope this help alittle.. slashrr69

If limiting oneself to four balls, and you already have the Bounty, I would recommend the following:
Bounty
Break Solid
Break Pearl
Link
This will cover 99% of lane conditions will will run across. That said, after using these balls, you may find a use for a Creature or Creature Pearl. The Creature Solid is too often overlooked. I use that ball more often than the Creature Pearl.

delpzooka, with any arsenal, you should spend time thinking about how your game progresses as you bowl, and the difficulties that you run into. You should look at where you bowl the most, and what conditions you encounter the most,..and then decide what you want in your bag to combat those obstacles.
An arsenal can be 2 balls or 10 balls, depending on your bowling endevors. A bowling arsenal is a collection of TOOLS, each one selected by YOU to do a specific job based on your ability and skill,...and the job or jobs you may encounter, (much like a fisherman selects his rods and reels, and a hunter selects his rifles). The first thing I suggest is to confer with a educated professional on the subject, one who can see your abilities in action, I suggest a good pro shop employee. Second, educate yourself with as much knowledge about equipment as you can, read-read-read, and ask questions.
That way you have some idea about where you want to go in building an arsenal,and you can understand and talk to your pro shop guy. Third, I suggest you buid your "TOOL SET" slowly one piece at a time, and learn each piece before getting another one. That will help you to know what you need to help complete what your arsenal needs, and avoid too much overlap of equipment.
Lastly, don't buy a ball just because it's the new ball of the month, and I just gotta have that ball. Buy a ball with a PURPOSE, like buying a tool that you need to do a specific job. When you have an arsenal you'll be able to look in your bag and get out a ball to do a specific job,..and not look in your bag and say "EENIE MEENIE MINIE MOE...which of these balls should
I throw"...jime

I have been back and forth on different ball companies, but i really liked the old columbia stuff. I have had the most success with it. When I heard that global was the old columbia I had to give it a shot and so far The bounty is a great ball.I appreciate the feedback, I dont see anyone else in any of my leagues throw global stuff and just wanted some opinions about them

I believe 900 Global would be considered the new AMF, although AMF is still in production, designed side-by-side with 900 Global. Columbia 300 is owned by Ebonite currently.

900 global is 900 global, and amf is amf.. just poured by the same company which is 900 global.. 900 global is "not" the new amf..
-
Take a look in the AMF threads. newguy has said that they are both designed side by side by the same r&d and could be 900 or AMF at any point until they're logoed. So, yeah, 900 IS the new AMF.

Don't argue with an idiot people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

See the post below yours... 900 Global really is the new AMF. The R&D is done by the same folks, and they share coverstock and core features. AMF is still around almost simply due to name recognition. They could easily merge into 900 Global and have one line, but it makes more financial sense to keep them separate for the sake of marketing more equipment.

My 900 arsenal is Break S-75, Break, Break Pearl, and a BAM. I'm still waiting for my Maniac to come in (2 months?!) but a Creature Pearl would fit in there nicely as well. I flip-flop between my Break Pearl and my Banger Hole Pounder Pearl.
