Storm - 900 Global
« on: February 27, 2019, 10:50:51 AM »
I have been a RG/Storm loyalist trying some other brands from time to time but nothing to my liking.  Have any other Storm-ers experimented with the 900 Global line, if so, your likes and dislikes, comparison to the RG/Storm lines.

My PSO (former PBA-er) has drilled up a number of 900 Global balls for some teammates which have nice shape and roll.  I currently have the RG Intense, Storm CodeXXX, and the RG Hustle Ink and have started looking at the 900's,  some that have perked my interest are the RESPECT, Honey Badger, Badger and Space Time Continuum.  Any comments,  thanks.

Like the honey badger, and ink. I would go with something stronger than a respect for oil. Black ops for oil, hb for mediums, ink for dry. Nice three ball arsenal. What do you think doom?

Thanks all for your feedback. Based on info shared, what is your opinion of a three ball arsenal consisting of the Respect, Honey Badger and RG Hustle Ink.  Please take in to consideration various oil condition, hook/ shape etc. thanks.

I like it, but add a little surface to the Respect.

Just took the shine off my Respect, seems to roll much better now!

After averaging over 240 with a respect for an entire season, I switched everything over while having a few essential storm/roto peices left like an IQ tour...

Don't fret, the respect and HB are both some of the best peices on the market.

Jumping in here with a question.  What would be the best option for late tournament? My son qualified for PA high school states.  Late in the regionals he was wishing he had something a bit better for late block. Had to work very hard that last game. Current;y has a honey badger, marvel pearl, Idol. Those are his broad and butter balls these days.

I'd put more stock behind the opinion of Doom or the 900 Global guys but my guess would be an After Dark or a Boost if the Honey Badger is too much. Smoother shape for the former and more angular for the latter (mostly excluding the solid Boosts, I believe none are currently in-line though). Depends on how you want to attack those late block conditions.

An After Dark or Boost would definitely work with an arsenal consisting of a Honey Badger, Marvel Pearl, and an Idol.

Depends on the motion he's looking for. A Boost will get down the lane further than any of the balls listed, but will be fast off the spot. Imagine a baby Honey Badger. If he's looking at the burn, then an After Dark Pearl drilled strong.

Appreciate the feedback. That helps a lot.

AD Pearl. Have seen Barnes throw it for both Pin 10 (World Championships) and first shot (New Mexico, I think), in different conditions of course-

but that shows you how versatile that ball is!

i can't preach enough about the after dark pearl.  and mine is drilled strong.  I don't even use it for the burn, they just don't oil the outside much for our THS and I just bomb away up 5.  I've had soo many people asking me "what ball is that?" or "who makes that?" or "you seriously only paid that much for that?".

it's been dynamite when I find dry
