The 900 Global Eternity Pi is the newest 900 series ball. The Pi features the same Epoch core found in the OG Eternity but is now wrapped in batch 901 solid. The Eternity for me was great when I needed a bigger clean asym that I had to keep in front of me. The Pi combines all the traction I had with the Eternity but now provides more overall shape. The Pi is visibly cleaner and quicker than the Reality and I do not see much overlap, if any.

Hello everyone and welcome to another Beyond the Arrows Ball Reviews brought to you by Striking Results Pro Shop, Bowlifi and Turbo 2 n 1 Grips, today we will be reviewing the new 900 Global Eternity Pi.
The Eternity Pi has a low RG value of 2.49 a medium differential of 0.050 and a medium intermediate differential of 0.014. 
900 Global came out with a brand-new 901 Reserve Blend cover that is mixture of technology from the San Antonio, TX plant and Brigham City, UT plant.  The new cover is wrapped around the Epoch Asymmetric core that we have previously seen in the Eternity.
The Epoch Asymmetric Core from the original Eternity makes its return to the Global arsenal. With a design inspired by the original Break Core found in so many classic Global releases, this core gives the player that great asymmetric shape on the lanes. Additionally, the moderate amount of intermediate differential will keep the core from “locking up” or losing energy too quickly.
I did a ball comparison to the 900 Global Eternity and the 900 Global Reality at 42 ft house shot, 25 ml of oil.  The layout chosen 45 x 5 x 30. 4000 Grit used for review.
In comparison to the 900 Global Eternity, the Eternity Pi starts up quicker and really digs into the lane but remains clean in the mid lane and continuous in the back end verses the Eternity which is clean thorough the fronts and mids but is sharper on the backend.  The Pi will be great when you have to move left because it will still be clean through the mids but still come around the corner.
In comparison to the 900 Global Reality, The Pi doesn’t hook as much as the Reality as the Reality is more angular on the backend verses the Pi which is a couple of boards weaker.  What you can do is keep the Reality at 1000 or 2000 as your heavy volume ball and put the Pi at 3000 or 4000 that way you can have something strong for the fresh when the angles are straighter, and keep the ball more in front of you which is paramount out there on tour our on the heavy or medium-heavy sport patterns.
As per the surface adjustments, the Eternity Pi’s box surface is 2000
For me I used 4000 because ethe conditions Im on are not that heavy but I can still use the ball at a higher surface and take advantage of its strong attributes.
In the bag, will be the Eternity Pi, Eternity, Xponent, Zen Gold Label and Storm IQ Tour Ruby

900 Global Eternity Pi
Epoch asymmetric core with the all new Reverse Blend 901 reactive solid cover stock.
Layout: 50 x 5 x 40
Pro-Lane with Typical house pattern laid down by the all new KEGEL Atlas machine.
 
Comes fresh from Utah with a 2000 grit finish on the cover.
I tested with a fresh 3000 grit Vise pad and then changed the surface to the all new Storm rough cut and rough edge and smooth edge finishing compounds.

At factory finish, the Eternity Pi was super gritty and the ball changed motions a lot quicker than I would like for myself. The ball is very muscular in design strength, so with an overabundance of revs and the lack of speed, I changed the surface to 3000. That did help the Eternity Pi go further down the lane, but still a little early and large motion for me. At that point, I went to the pro shop and used a small dab of rough edge for each quarter of the ball for about 30 seconds each quarter, then applied smooth edge the same way, about 30 seconds on each quarter. The last surface change was MONEY for me! If you go to my YouTube channel, you can watch and witness the change this finally did for me. I can get deeper and more open with this ball where the Storm Virtual Energy Blackout would now be a step down in my bag. The VE Blackout was the strongest overall piece I used regularly, but NOW the Eternity Pi is that beast!

900 Global Eternity Pi
Coverstock: Reserve Blend 901 Solid Reactive
Core: Epoch Asymmetric
Factory Finish: 2000-Grit Abralon
Layout: 4 x 4 x 2

The Eternity Pi is 900 Global's new heavy oil, high performance bowling ball. The long running 900 Global heavy oil option is the Reality. The Pi is meant to provide a different motion than the Reality with its new Reserve Blend 901 Cover wrapped around the Epoch Asymmetric Core. The Pi is designed to be cleaner than the Reality but provide more teeth in the oil than the original Eternity. After throwing the Pi on a variety of conditions, the wizards at Storm hit the nail on the head here with a nice logical transition from Reality to Pi to Eternity to cover all of those conditions that require the bigger asymmetrical cores and covers.

The Eternity Pi is 900 Globals new release in the Eternity line. It’s our new big asymmetrical solid with our Reserve Blend 901 Solid Cover along with the Epoch core which was in the original Eternity. With the success I had with the Eternity, this one was at the top of the list for drilling next and it does not disappoint. It’s very early, continuous and controllable. Definitely a game one killer!

Eternity Pi review by Storm Staffer Garrett Richardson
« Reply #21 on: November 15, 2023, 07:33:41 PM »
The 900 Global Eternity Pi is crazy strong! Generally for a ball like this I would usually do 5 x 4 x 2 which is one of my favorite strong pin up drillings for many different balls but wanted to see how it would be with 5 x 4 x 1.5 and WOW it has such a strong motion down lane with the 1.5 buffer which I usually don’t do but glad I did to see how strong this ball can be and it is more than I expected for the Eternity line.

For me being a lefty I was expecting to be able to use the Eternity Pi with the factory 2000 finish but it is really too strong even on a fresh house shot with my speed being 17 MPH at the pins. I was able to get a game with it then would have to put it away plus having to stand 25-30 and pitching it far left just gets you into trouble on a house shot with this type of ball. I added polished to see if I can get a lil more length and I did but its too much angle and leaving too many corner pins. This is for sure a ball that needs oil or if your really speed dominate on a house shot then you can for sure use this ball. It has great potential and excited to try it more on different patterns.

The new 900 Global Eternity Pi features the Reserve Blend 901 solid coverstock combined with the Epoch asymmetrical core.  At 15 pounds the RG is 2.49 with a differential of .050 and an intermediate differential of .014.  The Eternity Pi is much stronger than the original Eternity.  This is of course due to the solid cover stock on the Pi compared to the pearl Eternity.  The Pi starts up very early, reading the lane a good 3 to 5 feet sooner than the original Eternity, and has a strong continuous motion down the lane.  The Pi is an even stronger heavy oil option than the 900 Global Reality.  The Pi hooks about 2 to 3 boards more than the Reality and has more controlled backend motion than the Reality.  If you bowl on longer, heavier patterns, the new Etenity Pi is the ball you need to have in your bag!

900 Global Eternity PI by Casey Murphy
« Reply #23 on: November 22, 2023, 12:02:45 PM »
Orientation:  Right Handed
Rev Rate:  400 RPM
Speed:  16-17 MPH
PAP:  4 ½ over and ½ up

Location:  Enterprise Park Lanes, Springfield MO
Pattern:  High Volume THS
VLS Layout: 
Layout 1:  5 x 4 x 2 ½  (pin above bridge)
Layout 2:  4 ½ x 4 x 4 1/8 (pin below bridge)

The Eternity Pi is a new solid Eternity!  I liked the OG Eternity but it was a little hook stoppy at times.  The Pi picks up earlier and rounds off and continues a lot better being a solid!  I love the combination of early roll and continuation with the core which I thought was a slower core anyway and lent itself more towards a solid version.  The Eternity PI is a very usable aysm solid from 900 Global that I can see myself using on sport and shim alike.

The Eternity Pi is a new asymmetric ball in 900 Global’s 900 Series line.  It features the new Reserve Blend 901 Solid coverstock, which feels similar to the previous S84 solid cover stock used in this line on the original Reality.  The core is the Epoch core from the original Eternity which comes in at a 2.49 RG, a .050 differential, and a .014 intermediate differential in 15 pounds.  The Eternity Pi acts exactly like you’d expect on paper, it’s a stronger, earlier, and smoother version of the original Eternity.  This ball has been used on several different conditions with a couple different surfaces.  The surface was initially adjusted from box down to 1000 grit on a resurfacing machine, then finished with Reacta Skuff to get it up to a 3000ish grit sheen.  The result was a fairly clean but stable reaction up front, with a firm, tumbly, directional finish down lane. 

The Pi reminds me of a few recent balls, it’s like an earlier and smoother Super Nova or stronger Nova, but it also reminds me of some throwback balls, most notably the Crux, Lock, and Alpha Crux.  It’s comfortably lengthy, it gets traction and controls the midlane without starting to HOOK or move too early, and the finish downlane is the right blend of response and control.  It punches hard enough to get the pins down, but is controllable enough that you won’t have to fight an overly strong backend move.  It’s also somewhat directional, meaning that it goes in the direction you roll it.  It’s not predominantly continuous, but it’s also not predominantly forward.  It’s not quite as strong of a ball as a Gem or a DNA, it’s in a more frequently usable zone while still handling heavy oil well.  No worries of overlap with the Reality, the shapes are completely different, the Reality is more like a stronger Phaze 2 or XPonent, while the Pi is more like a stronger Summit.

900 Global Eternity Pi ball review
VLS 4 1/2 x 3 5/8 x 3 1/8

The Eternity Pi is a ball I was looking forward to after the original Eternity was so good. The same Epoch asymmetrical core wrapped in the new Reserve Blend 901 solid Coverstock. I tend to like big asymmetrical solids so one with a core I like will usually roll well.

I find this ball to be sharper off the spot then my DNA.  Still not a quick response but gives more on the back. Definitely a ball that needs to see some oil but has some versatility. I tend to use it for straighter angles on tighter shots but have also seen teammates use it from much farther left and have success. For me, when the DNA is too smooth I can use the Pi to give me a little more. If you are looking for a ball that will dig in when you need it to, the Pi is for you.

The Eternity Pi represents a new option for heavy oil performance in the Global lineup. The ALL-NEW Reserve Blend 901 Cover with its 2000-Grit Abralon finish provides you with great traction through the front part of the lane. Combined with the Epoch Asymmetric Core, this new offering will give you a heavy oil ball with a completely different motion than our other proven 900 Series heavy oil option, the Reality.

MY SPECS:
PAP: 4 7/8 R 7/8 UP
REV: 350
MPH: 15 @PINS
LAYOUT: 2 3/4 X 5 1/4 X 2 3/8

The 900 Global Eternity PI bowling ball is a powerhouse on the lanes, delivering a gritty and muscular performance that's bound to impress avid bowlers. This ball is not for the faint of heart; its sheer power and tenacity will leave pins trembling in its wake. With its muscular core and innovative design, the Eternity PI generates exceptional hook potential and pin action, making it a standout choice for those looking to dominate the competition. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a competitive league bowler, the Eternity PI's raw power and relentless drive will elevate your game to new heights.

Excited to drill up the Eternity PI, big core and cover. I needed a big asymmetrical to play straighter with, thus the layout I chose fits my tweener style. I did change to cover to 4000 abralon (no polished) and allowed it to lane shine.
Super rolly but pushes down lane on the fresh with ease. Something I would use before the THS starts to transition. Compared to my Reality it's a little earlier (layout) but not as sharp. The shape I get and see fits as my first ball out the bag and will definitely do its job at the pins. I have bowled on a heavier 42' and was able to keep my angles tighter while still playing the track area.

The addition to the 900 Global line is the Eternity PI. It comes with the Epoch Asymmetric Core from the original Eternity with the ALL-NEW Reserve Blend 901 Cover. I drilled mine with a 3 x 6 x 2 layout.  First impressions was wow this ball is strong!. The solid cover really allows the PI to dig in early and keep going.  I needed something to bowl on the short and or flatter patterns.  I added some Storm step 2 to the surface to give me a little more length for my medium speed.  I have had the most success on the shorter sport patterns of lengths less than 40ft.  It gave me that heavy roll and control especially on when the backends are very clean.  I can also use it on house or the medium to long patterns, but I need to hit the cover with 1000-2000 abralon pad.  Very versatile ball.
Its right up with other big asymmetrical the Reality, Gem's, Nova's.  But the PI is has a little unique ball motion.  For me the PI carries real well also in keeping the pins low.
The PI is above the Phaze II , Zens and TNT line and maybe not as early as the Gems but just as strong just a little different ball motion.

900 Global Eternity Pi
Coverstock: Reserve Blend 901 Solid Reactive
Box Finish: 2000-Grit Abralon
Core: Epoch Asymmetric Core
RG: 2.49, Diff: 0.050, PSA: 0.014 (15 lbs)
VLS Layout: 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 x 1-5/8
Dual Angle Layout: 55 x 4-1/2 x 25
PAP: 5 3/16” right x 5/8” up
Rev rate: 400 rpm
Average speed: 16.5 mph
Location: Prairie Lanes, Sun Prairie, WI
Pattern: Medium volume THS

The newest release in the 900 series line from 900 Global is the Eternity Pi, which is the solid iteration of the Eternity that has been a staple in many bowler’s arsenal since it was introduced.  The Eternity Pi features the same Epoch asymmetrical core found in the Eternity, but is wrapped in the new Reserve Blend 901 solid reactive cover.  Taken together with this powerhouse of a core and gritty solid cover, the Eternity Pi is designed to be the heavy-oil ball at the top of your arsenal.

As you’d expect, the Eternity Pi is much stronger overall than the original Eternity thanks to the solid cover.  However, much like the original Eternity, the Pi is still really good at clearing the front part of the lane before digging in and reading the midlane, this helps the Pi retain energy and produce a strong and continuous backend motion.  Because strong, solid asymmetric balls tend to hook so early it’s rare to see much defined motion on the backend, but the Eternity Pi bucks that trend and provides a nice amount of shape on the backend for strong ball.  By comparison, the Reality has a slightly stronger core which helps it read the lane earlier, and therefore, it’s a bit smoother downlane compared to the Pi.  Even though both the Reality and Eternity Pi are both designed for heavier oil, the team at 900 Global did a great job in making sure both balls provide a different motion on the lane. 

The Eternity Pi provides a unique motion for a top-of-the-line, heavy oil ball by providing a more defined motion on the backend compared to what you typically see from heavy-oil balls.  Eternity Pi is a great addition to the 900 Global lineup and if Zen Gold Label, Xponent, and/or Eternity are already in your bag then you need to round out the top of your arsenal with an Eternity Pi.

900 Global Eternity PI
Cover: Reserve Blend 901â„¢ Solid Reactive
Core: Epochâ„¢ (Asymmetrical)
Color: Burgundy/White/Black

Review:
The original Eternity was a huge success and hit with bowlers of all levels. It was only a matter of time before a cover stock variation came out that would be equally as successful. The Eternity PI is a solid version of the very popular pearl version of the Eternity. In my opinion the Eternity PI is a much smoother version of the Reality. Allowing for more of a roll and smooth arc type motion. This ball is the first out of my bag and really allows me to dig into the lanes when the lanes are on a little oilier side of spectrum. If you are looking for a good asymmetric solid with a great color combination look no further, then the Eternity PI.

I drilled up my 900 GLOBAL ETERNITY PI with a strong layout of 4.5 x 3.5 x 2. This puts the pin above my ring finger and the MB just slightly above my thumb at a 2 o clock orientation. I have thrown it out of the box which is 2000 and touched it up again with a 2000 CTD pad which is the same as a 1500 SiaAir pad.

I put this one up with my stronger balls that I use when I see a slicker or longer pattern. I threw it against my EXOTIC GEM, REALITY, and DNA. Compared right away to these, the PI was longer thru the fronts other than the EXOTIC which has a pearl cover. My DNA was earlier and smoother while the REALITY got more length and a rounder motion while the PI was stronger down lane than either. The EXOTIC was the ball to move down with when the transition hit as it cleared the fronts better than the PI. The EXOTIC's motion was comparable to the PI in the back of the lane.

Put this one in your bag if your looking for a stronger piece that clears the fronts better than the duller pieces but is not too straight like the pearls can be out of the gate.
