Banger, Insite forums now up; no 900G?

Title says it all.

unfair no reaction from the thread that was started a couple of months ago

How many balls have they released?
Nuff said.

Actually, Mega, they have come out with The Break, the Creature, a spare ball line, and a special "Globe" spare. So that's 2-4, depending on how you want to think of it, and they ARE going to come out with more.  Plus, need I mention the fact that their plant produces AMF and Lane #1 equipment, or the fact that they produce a widely recognized premier shoe line, 3G?

This is a real company with a real chance of making inroads into the ball market; it's not just another small company that has another company make balls for them. They have their own plant, their own distribution, and they are headed by one of the most acclaimed ball gurus in the industry, Phil Cardinale.

Furthermore, I am willing to bet that they have SOLD more balls than Insite and possibly more than Banger (but hey, I could be wrong).

In your own words, "'Nuff said."

I agree with revTrexx.  They are a REAL manfacturer plus add the 3G shoes.

I disagree, for BallReviews.com to add a manufacturer to their forums list they need to establish themselves as a stable company on the market. 900 Global has been alive for what? 6 months? I would hardly call that stable. For BallReviews.com to give 900 Global a piece of the pie at this point in their infancy, would not only be hasty but irresponsible.

That's almost hilarious, given the fact that Banger and Insite aren't exactly what I would call "stable" companies just yet. In fact, 900G is certainly more stable, given the fact that they produce their own equipment -- something that I'm sure Insite wishes it could do (given their recent problem with the RevElation).

[scotts33]

That is funny...two companies that have Visionary manufacturer their equipment. Then, you have a company that makes their own stuff and has a full shoe line.

Laughable.

900 Global wont have a forum for at least another year.
Laugh that one to the bank.

[revTrex]

No further comment is truly needed...your ignorance on this subject is rather self-evident...

With comments like this it is no wonder others pick on you on BR, with Phil's proven track record in the past 900 Global will surely be strong in the market.

An additional fact that 2 balls that were manufactured in that plant although not 900G balls already won a PBA Tour event this year.  Hei$t and Nighthawk Pearl Micheal Haugen.  Yep they're real.

No where in my above statement(s) did I say Phil or 900 Global would not be successful. I'm obviously in the middle of a 900 Global lovefest here, there are staunch supporters of each brand, anything less than instant gratification can expect the responses I got above. Good luck with getting your forum. For your sake I hope I'm wrong.

Because it seems Derek posted in the wrong thread ( ), here's what he had to say:

quote:How in the world can you say Insite and Banger are established.  Banger had to put a stop on all of their production for how long before they could get a CONTRACT WITH VISIONARY to produce their equipment.  Now they finally have been able to produce ball 3-4.  Insite's equipment if I am not mistaken only makes 100 of each ball isn't that why they were 250.00 a ball.  They also have 4 balls.  Now you have 900 Global who pours AMF, 900Global, and Lane #1.  900Global has 5 balls released and out to the public.  Globe ball, BAM plastic, Break, Creature, and the overseas DVA open ball.  They are PBA registered for the shoes.  
Point is MegaMav get off of you arrogant trip and start throwing you Brunswick balls that die after about and average of 50 games.  I will continue to throw my same break that I have over 100 games on and still be throwing it when you are on you 2nd or 3rd Brunswick ball becuase of ball death.

I have to laugh at everybody that complains about ball death but stays with those companies.  I now have the following balls that have not been resurfaced and still react like new from AMF/900Global.
NightHawk Solid-140 games never resurfaced
Venom-200 games never resurfaced
2-Breaks with 100 games
TNT-120 Games

Looks like a solid background to me........

You guys forgot to mention that we build some balls for Storm as well.
New Products on the horizon...The Break Pearl, a new Creature, a new Orbit Extreme, we are currently developing an upper mid for the AMF line, priced below the Heist and above the Nighthawk. the Angle Line is doing great and I figure to grow that line with additional pieces over the next year of so. "A Global Lovefest" I'm loving it.
Just one more note...we are not launching for the sake of Launching, new covers and performance on all the above mentioned products.
Fiddling with the resins.
