To digress a little from the previous posters.....It seems Storm's influence is coming through loud and clear (IQ, IQ Tour....Dream, Dream Tour).

Except the Dream tour doesn't look to have a modified core, it looks to be the same as the regular dream

My pro shop was at a trade show last week.  What I was told is this is made in Utah and is Storm Technology.  So really a Storm ball with 900G Logos.


Again this was info I got from my shop as I have bought alot on 900G in the past and the Dream & Moxie got my interest so I had them ask what they could.

Storm and 900 Global have been using each other's plants to make their stuff. Heck, the Tropical Storms and other lower end Storm pieces have been made in SA for years.

Not discounting the ball by any means....was just a take on the naming convention used here.

My five bucks says it rolls like the original Virtual Gravity. Even has almost the same colors. Just some purple instead of blue.


As for being made in Utah, I suspect it was. Anyone remember a tri-color 900 Global ball before?

The Dream and Moxie are being made in Utah. This isn't the first time any company has come out with a pearl, then a solid afterwards. This looks to be a Break/Eagle replacement with a stronger cover.

I would add the POW to 900 Global balls being poured in Utah. Just based on the coloring. Although, being plastic, it might be made overseas.

A prior post by 900 Global brand manager I believe stated their plastic bowling balls are made overseas.

Plastic balls can be bought and delivered from China cheaper than you can make them yourself.  The days of making plastic balls to keep people working are gone.

I'd bet more than that. I really hope they have an official announcement for this one soon. This is a 100% buy for me even though I'd mainly be using it at just tournaments

The core on these balls are still being designed by 900 global so the ball isn't completely storm technology. From what I've heard they are being poured in Utah. It may very well be a storm cover on it which I've heard they kinda are but no one really knows the extent of that. But the SA plant definitely hasn't ever had the capability to pour 3colors into 1 ball. So unless that changes its safe  to assume all 3 colored balls are poured in Utah....

Looks like R2X Pearl to me. I would be more excited if they just came out and admitted as much. Love that cover.

Any release date info?

Yeah! I'm going to pull the trigger, yo.

The Dream Tour is an International private label release ball only.  The name "Tour" has no relation to any Storm ball and is just a common and favorable ball name extension for International markets.  We have changed our "Limited" tab on our ball page to "Int'l OEM" to reflect the overseas exclusiveness of this product and remove confusion for domestic customers.  If you have any questions please feel free to email me.

Thanks,

Break - Break Pearl - Break S75
Break Point - Break Point Pearl
Bounty - Bounty Hunter - Bounty Hunter Pearl
Bank - Bank Pearl - Bank Roll

I'm not too worried about there not being a solid at this moment. I mean, the Dream isn't even out for another 9 days. (Yes, even though I am on the injured list doesn't mean I am not counting down too.)
