yea, it's overseas...if you look go to the link and click on some of the options on the left you can kind of scoll through some of the other balls that are overseas and some are US only.

I saw another ball on ebay that I would like to get my hands on...the Prison Break Pearl.  I saw a video on YouTube.  Holly S**T did that ball have a backend reaction on it.  I asked the seller if he can get me one in 15.  I can't seem to find a Break Pearl, maybe this will be the next best thing.

I have the Blue Jay, Its the overseas version of the S75. Just says The Break with Blue Jay in plain letters underneath on the ball, but on the box it says S75 The Break Blue Jay.  Looks amazing in person and reacts just like the S75 for me.

From the .pdf of the flyer, looks like the Blue Jay = S75. Only difference seems to be factory finish: Blue Jay = 600 grit w/ 2000 polish and the US S75 is halfway 1000 w/ compound.

Prison Break Pearl is probably the same as a US Break Pearl. Prison Break Solid and original Break look exactly the same spec-wise on 900G's site.

No but who cares...just don't shoot an honor score and nobody would ever know.  And if you do shoot an honor score it just won't be rocoginzed by USBC.

They are on the approved list.  I had a prison break pearl, it had a USBC star on it. Even if it did there is life outside league.

Post by: beachcomberjones on October 24, 2009, 11:32:52 PM
Per Eric last week, They are all USBC approved!!

Your right about the finish on the s75 VS. The Blue Jay.  both push long and angular for me.

According to the USBC approved ball list yes The Hack is approved (May2009).

I think the onw that needs to be looked at hard is the Day Break. why has his never been released here?

Break cover with a heist looking core. Man what an awesome sounding bowling ball.

"Hoselrockets

Yeah, did you ever get the feeling that bowling companies think we want only dirty red, dirty blue, or black and something colored balls here in the US?
Title: Re: The Hack
Post by: Hoselrockets on October 28, 2009, 09:32:53 AM
sometimes...but believe it or not there is a very long thought process that goes into a color scheme for a particular ball.  I use to be involved with one of the company's and there were many heavy discussions on this very topic.  

Personally, I don't care what the ball looks like as long as it performs but it doesn't hurt that a ball looks cool has hell.  On the other hand when I had my shop some people would stricly make a choice based on color.

I still want one of those Blue Jays....

Just bowled my 3rd 700, on the nose, tonight with this bad boy. I missed 3 ten pins in the 2nd game or it would have been higher. I really like this ball, carry is just awesome. I would love to see US release of it or at least a rebadging. Smooth with a great backend, awesome control ball.
