what is missing from 900 global?
« on: March 16, 2009, 08:04:02 AM »
alright so this is just my observation since ive been throwing 900 global for about 2 months now. I own the break solid, s75, bounty, link, awakening right now. i have thrown the break pearl for about 15 games (not for me).

What i am noticing and what i have talked about to the man who writes the reviews in BTM is that all the balls seem to read the point the same, but at different places. When he told me this i thought about it and i realized he was totally correct. everything in the 900 global family reads the point very nicely and very controlable. there isnt a ball in the lineup that i have found to "flip" and go left hard off the spot. even the break pearl, it is a very rolly pearl in my eyes and in my hands. check my stats in my profile.

What i feel is missing is a ball that allows you to get left on the burn and blown open patterns and make the corner hard enough to get the corners out consistently. i bowled the collegiate singles this weekend and when forced to move left around 4th and 5th arrow i had to swtich to a hammer hazard because i couldnt get the corners out consistently because of the smoothness off the spot.

Again, this is all just my thoughts and what i am seeing. I love my 900 global stuff and cant wait to add more stuff to my arsenal. I just want to see if others think the same

I have a Thing NIB, but it’s 14lbs and I live in England, UK, so shipping it to you will be very very expansive….. so can’t help you.

If the Thing and Thing Returns were the soaker coverstocks, then what was the Thing Lives? My Thing Lives is just too aggressive for our house shot.

Nevermind it's the Soaker X.

Kong 69...the Break Point is a more angular than the Break and definitely handles more oil.  My local house replaced their lane machine with an older Kegel which is putting down a longer pattern with slightly more volume.  Where my Break used to score relentlessly, now barely reaches the nose...my new Break Point is the answer.  I tried the Bounty but it just wasn't for me.  Will do a review on the Break Point after a few more games.  Rolled 705 first night out.
