Only 16 days after rejoining the PBA, 900 Global is excited to have our first PBA Champion! 

Chris Barnes earned his 18th PBA Title, defeating Mike Fagan in the title match to claim the trophy and 5 Million Yen ($43,000) prize!

Chris also shot 300 in the semi-final match against Stuart Williams, earning another 5 Million Yen Bonus! 

Chris used his Respect both games during the step ladder finals.

Global 900 is making a pretty big come back

Congrats to Chris. Pocketing some extra cash from a 300 game doesn't hurt either.

Pretty sure I said a couple weeks ago that Barnes was going to match up well and do well with Global stuff, caught a lot of flak for it.  Watched Barnes for a long time and I have an eye for ball reaction, and am extremely familiar with Global's equipment.  You're going to see a lot more of Barnes than we have for the last couple years. 

I think this will be a new beginning for Barnes.  From what I saw on some of the highlights, it looks like he is having much better ball reactions now with Global compared to what he had with C300 the past few years.  Basically he can now let the ball do what it does best compared to trying to make something happen.  It's definitely a good future ahead for both.

It'll be interesting to see who else may join the pro staff.  Besides Lynda and Chris Barnes, Robert Smith and Brian Voss, I would not count out Michael Haugen Jr. from returning to the brand.  Since they delisted a few years back, he's been a free agent except for the 1 season with Roto Grip.

Don't know if possible,but would rather see Steve Jaros in 900 gear than Haugen.

Not sure if there are any plans on getting other staff guys on the PBA but here is a short list of guys that would be good additions.

Marshal Kent
Mike Devaney
Edward VanDaniker
Dan MacLelland
