Stay classy 900 Global

Just noticed the limited run Mark Roth ball on their website:

Portion of the proceeds goes to the Mark Roth Fund.  What a great way to honor the man who changed our game.

I would never throw the L.E. ball.  Being that it's just a Villain in a fancy suite I suppose I would buy another Villain and put the Roth ball up on display in the pro shop, sort of a homage to king of crankers.  Well maybe not the king but definately the pioneer.

I've been throwing it as of last week.  Looks very cool! The Low Rg makes it very smooth and arcy through the mids, and the high polish hybrid finish gives it a very nice pop off the friction on entry. Nice control peice, holds inside without over reacting and can come back from those missed shots to the right if the speed isnt too fast. I'm sure if you add some surface too it, it would be even stronger upfront much like the lunatic.    

ultimately, its a great THS ball for anyone from entry performance to control peice for the tournament bowler.

I guess every ball would be good if there was hold to the middle and recovery to the right? Not to be a smart azz but is that really the ball or condition?

I guess I should have clarified that i have only used in on THS so far. Fresh and Burnt.

Yeah your absolutely right, the condition is going to determine what the ball is going to do.  Benchmark type balls cater to this THS condition right?  Smooth transition through the mid part of the lane into the fricition area on the backend.  Smooth Arc shape with a strong finish???  

When i miss right early with my Break Point It goes face, When I miss inside with my break point it goes left.......guess its the condition.

I did try to compare the ball to other reaction in the line, i guess i didnt clarify that enough.  Does not read as early as my lunatic does.... Goes longer but give the same overal smooth arc shape as my lunatic unlike the sharp angular motion that my Break Point gives with the same amount of distance down the lane...


Overall, the ball is tame compared to the bounty hunter or break series, but stronger than the Link series....that should help to find a fit i think?

What distributors have them?  My local pro shop doesn't carry 900 Global (I've tried!), but would like to be able to get one.  If I can direct him on how...or can I order one someplace?

Got mine today.  Good looking ball.  Gonna stash it away in the closet for a while.  Don't really need it yet, but wanted to have it.

Ace Mitchell carries them and so does Cal Bowling Supply.

Well after having the chance to use this ball last night this ball fits the line very well.  I see it right under the Break line and a bit stronger than the Lunatic.  Perfect fit for the line and done for a pioneer of our sport.  

Great job!
