COMMENTS
wow! This ball is a ton of fun. I can use this ball on next to anything from house to sport/pba patterns of all kinds. This ball is so easy to control and so strong in the backend. This ball is unique to me because at my 4000 or 2000 surface this ball still clears the heads very well and produce a very strong finish on the backend on virtually any pattern im on. If I am ever on a pattern that I am lost or am having issues with, the break out or the favorite are there to save the day.
LANE CONDITION
Length: 39 foot on Brunswick Anvilane
Volume: Medium
Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): THS with sligtly higher volume to outside. Also PBA Cheetah and Nationals.
There is nothing bad I could say about the Break Out. I have said this many times on posts but if this is not the best ball I have rolled it is in the top 3. I am a tweener by description but when rolling the ball right have above average rev rate and speed in the 15 to 16 mph typically. Ball is extremely versatile and coverstock takes surface adjustments extremely well also. Mine came with 2 3/4 oz. of top weight and 2 1/2 pin. Drilled it pin down located beneath the ring finger. This placed the pin a 4 1/2" from my PAP. I located the MB on the VAL. I keep it polished with Black Magic and at times will add a light scuff with white scotchbrite. I have used it on multiple conditions from different THS shots, PBA Cheetah to the 2010 Nationals. On fresh house conditions with a reasonable volume it is the first ball out of the bag and can adjust hand positions to create a smooth arc or have moved deep and snapped it off the break point. On the Cheetah I used the Break Out for the first 5 games with great success. Just keep the hand under the ball and created more roll. The 2010 Nat's I had taken it with a 2000 surface and it was way too strong for the pair we caught in team. Polished it for D/S and had some success early but needed a longer pin so had to switch to something different pretty quick. I have recommended this one as first choice if looking to try a 900. Now that it is being fazed out of the line up, only means pick one up from the pro shops or just pick up The Eagle which is the Break Out with a purple coverstock.
There is nothing that I dislike about this ball unless it is too often when we travel the lanes are too dry to use it. I still pull it out to get a read on the lanes and adjust from there.
Roll with 900 Global.
Made in Texas!
