The 900Global Reality high-performance bowling ball introduces the solid version of the S84 Response coverstock which offers a powerfully strong reaction even in the heaviest of oil conditions. The Reality contains the Distubance Asymmetric Core which is designed with shape in mind and fills the core space with the least amount of material while still offering the RG and Differential values that bowlers want.

If you know me then you know I’m a big fan of symmetrics. It’s pretty rare that I rave over a ball with an asymmetric core but this is one of them! The 900 Global Reality is not a ball that hooks in the front part of the lane and bails down lane. It cleared the fronts with ease and continued through the pins better than most others. I compared the Reality to the Rubicon in my ball review, and the Rubicon picks up a few feet earlier and has an overall more rounded motion. I’m eager to put some shine on the Reality to see how far left I can move with it. It will be a ball that comes out of the bag directly after the Rubicon, RST X1, or Proton Physix depending on which one you have.

900 Global ignites 2021 with its release of the all new Reality. This new powerhouse is a combination of cutting-edge technology, with its Disturbance core and robust coverstock - the S84 Response Solid. The Reality is a THS bowler’s gem. Let’s take a closer look.
Being more a down-and-in player, I was impressed with how the new Disturbance core delivered. Starting on fresh oil, playing straight and looking ten (second arrow), the core rolled with serious authority yet retained an intense amount of energy that detonated at the pocket! Further, the Disturbance core gave me a strong sense of security. When I leaked a few shots right, it recovered vigorously, kicking out those flat tens. Being a lower rev player, I like how this core “stands up†and maintains a strong continuation through the pins. This Disturbance core is by far a straighter player’s best friend.
Surface for me has become an integral part of front to back ball motion and I couldn’t have asked for a more responsive cover than the S84 Solid on the Reality. The 2000 grit factory surface suited my overall game well, but I felt a bit shaky moving in beyond my comfort zone late in the night. The next night, I tweaked the surface to 1500 and I found my sweet spot with the S84 cover for the pattern. Early on I could play straight up looking at ten (second arrow) and by the third game I felt comfortable and stable at 15 (third arrow) up to 18. I found this cover provides strong traction throughout the lane without losing its potent bite off the pattern no matter where I played!
In closing, 900 Global has done an outstanding job with the all new Reality. This ball is strong yet controllable and it unleashes power where it counts! For a straighter, low rev player like me, the Reality adds conviction to your arsenal! Talk to your local pro-shop operator today. The Reality is worth it!

Review:
The 900 Global Reality offers a focused brand new core design with an aggressive coverstock. This specific design is intended to maximize control with more hook potential then its predecessor the 900 Global Volatility. This ball is definitely the hook monster you are looking for, but with a twist....the Reality will allow you to continue to open the lane up as transition occurs. At times, my Volatility would tend to "quit" and my next ball down wasn't quite enough. The Reality should fill that gap on longer and higher volume patterns.
You should expect a continuous, strong reaction throughout the lane. Also, 900 has kept the Int Diff lower on the Reality to achieve some length down lane so the ball as designed does not "hook at your feet" and "quit". This has been the wow factor of the Reality at recent Storm Matchmaker events.
As previous noted above, the Reality will work best on longer and higher volume patterns. If your desire is to stay left before and after the lanes transition this ball will not disappoint. If you want the biggest hooking ball on the market today in your bag, this is the one! Don't hesitate to try out the 900 Global Reality today.

The Tour Engineered 900 Series all new Reality utilizes the incredibly strong S84 Response solid cover combined with the Disturbance Asymmetric core to give you the strongest ball in the 900 Global line. Yes, I believe its stronger and more versatile than the Volatility. I drilled my Reality pin down and was surprised how clean this high-performance ball was through fronts and how much energy it had down lane. I tested this ball on 44 feet typical house pattern. As a mid to low rev player, I see this ball being my first choice on heavy oil patterns. I was able to play outside five, the track area, and deep inside without any loss of ball reaction or pin carry. This is a great ball for all levels of bowlers. Order one from your local pro shop today! My ball review videos are posted on YouTube channel Stanley Waite.

Out of the box I loved this ball. Rolled very well. started standing normal 25 then move left as the night went on. threw 15-20 at the arrows and out to 8-10 at the break point. BUT...as the time went on, YES it got a little lane shine on it...and I like it a little better! I didn't have to move so fast as the night went on. It reacted very nice! Shot a few really nice 700's so far. We know bowling here in Michigan started back up a little bit ago. But the ball is going to stay in my bag for sure!

900 Global RealityLayout: 4.5 X 3.5 X 2 Storm Vector LayoutRev Rate: 325 rpm, 7 degree of axis tilt, 40 degree of axis rotationTesting Information: 41-foot THS (medium volume)Kegel Machine – Brunswick AnvilaneOur first review of a 900 Global ball. We tested the 900 Global Volatility Torque (an absolute beast) but did not do a review. I was able to win a senior tournament throwing the Volatility Torque fresh off the press. The Reality utilizes the S84 Response solid cover with the Disturbance asymmetric core. The cover and weight block complement each other well. The Reality was versatile during testing. The test bowlers were able to play multiple angles with the Reality on the house shot. I see the Reality as a 1b tournament ball that will be used when the Storm Proton Physix is reading the lanes too soon but the oil is heavy enough that you still need a surface ball. The Reality carried very well during testing. Everyone watching the test session said the same thing – “This ball looks like it is going to strike every time going down the laneâ€.Visit your local Storm VIP Pro Shop to order yours.Continue to bowl up a Storm!#Stormnation #900Global

Dif:0.052

PAP: 5 ½ x 1 ½ UP
This is the first 900 Global ball I have ever thrown. I have a difficult time matching up with Asymmetrical balls. I am more of a down and In player with higher ball speeds and a lower rev rate (however recently I have worked on increasing the rev rate and lowering the ball speed) I was really surprised at how much this ball hooked. I really like the ball motion and how strong it is. I drilled this OOB 60 x 3 1/4 x 45. Which puts the pin above my ring finger kicked out to the right. I spend along trying to figure out how to layout this ball and I nailed this one. I left the cover OOB. Reality is smooth and predictable with a strong backend motion. It is earlier than the Proton Physix but still picks up well and does not burn up and has strong continuation through the pins. I have a hard time getting Asymmetrical getting through the pins without burning up and getting the right shape. I can move in with this ball and trust the ball will turn the corner. I have found the strong core/cover ball for the longer heavier oil patterns. This ball is a winner!

Can you call it a benchmark ball, I do. First ball out of the bag in leagues and it will show me if I need to ball down. If you can use a word like READABILITY this is the definition of this ball. Drilled with new standard pin up layout I see great skid in front with that READABILITY coming off the pattern.
Strongest ball I have that can be used entirely in one set provided you chase the oil in and depending on the volume. I have as of this review 25+ games bowled on it. No surface change needed just typical lane shine and cleaning after each use.
Being a low rev bowler at my age (58) speed matched, it's a pleasure to be able to use a high flaring ball without the DOA hits. The Reality carry percentage is high as it rolls consistently through the pin deck. The 2000 Abralon cover should take well if needed.
This a ball taylormade for all styles searching for a high flaring ball that only looks good but scores well too.

Review:
Since the official embrace of Global into the Storm / Roto family I have had the pleasure to roll a few Global Balls and I have been very happy with each one. The one I seem to use the most in the Global family so far is the Reality. For me, the Reality has everything I like in a ball. It is strong but not too strong. It is versatile, forgiving and rolls well from different angles and the carry is exceptional. I would put this ball between the Roto UFO and Phase 2 or Ordinance C4 in total hook. What surprises me about the Reality is how I can seem to stay with it longer than most sanded Asymmetric reactive balls during a set while making only small moves. Some nights I can use it all three games which does not happen often in our home center. I have so much trust in this ball to shape and hit the way I like that if the lanes are on the oily side I can get the reaction I need. We had this ball at our last Match Maker ball Demo and it was very well received. We have had some Global fans at our shop for a while now but I see the momentum growing for this ball and the Global Brand. I am very happy I can now add Global to my arsenal and I am not sure there is a reaction the combination of these three brands cannot cover.
Summary:
The Reality is a perfect match of strong and control.
The hit and drive through the pins is excellent.
This is a great ball for league or tournaments.

The 900 Global Reality might change your perception of what it means to be a strong asymmetric solid. S84-Response Solid (seen in pearl form on the Volatility Torque) wraps the outside with a 2000-grit sanded surface, and the unique Disturbance asymmetric core provides the motor. This ball seems to be very wonderfully balanced for the category - a strong amount of traction in oil (but not too much), defined transition through the hook phase (but not too much), good recovery downlane (but not too much). The fact that this one has seen instant and widespread adoption on the PBA Tour when big money is on the line says quite a bit! If you really like the rolly nature of the Crux series or the Proton PhysiX, this should absolutely merit your consideration!

This Reality is something else. The first solid big ball from 900 Global since switching over to Utah and it DOES NOT disappoint. I'm very pleased with what I see in my THS leagues. The Reality is very forgiving (similar to what we saw in the Flux) but gives me a couple more boards of overall hook. I also have seen since switching from Texas to Utah the cover does not lane shine as fast. I had trouble with my Flux after 9 games on some heavier patterns just get too lane shined and i'd have to put it away. This Reality doesn't has a big pair of snow tires on it. I can't wait to get out and bowl on the weekend on some of the tougher conditions with this rock. I drill mine with a dual angle of 65 x 4.5 x 40, a typical pin over bridge layout for me and my high track. I find myself being able to stay in this ball longer than the Flux and transition into a Volatility Torque with a similar layout or a strong Zen and have no problems keeping up with the lanes. This is the perfect tool I was missing in my bag from 900 Global since the merger with Storm/Roto and I'm very excited to have it now.

900 Global Reality
Layout - 55 x 5 x 30
This ball is crazy strong! For me I have it between the Proton Physix and the RSTX-1, its the best of both worlds! It is cleaner thru the front like the X1 but just as much hook as the Proton Physix. This ball is best used on fresh heavier longer oil patterns! Speed dominant players - this ball is for you. This is the biggest baddest 900 Global ball, should be the earlier stronger version of the Volatility Torque. I think this ball will be thrown quite a bit on tour!
-
This Ball is is a beast! This ball for being a big asymmetrical dull ball gets through the fronts and has something off the spot. not like typical asyms that will hook early and roll. This ball will be great for high speed players. This is 900global newest and strongest ball and if you're a global fan you won't want to miss out on this Monster! Get to your local pro shop to go get this piece!

introducing the brand new hook monster from 900 Global...the Reality! The all new Reality features the S84 Response Solid Reactive Coverstock wrapped around the Disturbance Asymmetric Core!
The Reality is a great ball for heavier lane conditions and, compared to my UFO or Proton PhysiX doesn't change directions as drastically as those 2 but, has more roll throughout the lane than those 2 as well. The Reality definitely has a different shape for the heavier lane conditions and, will fit very well with the UFO and, Proton PhysiX! It is a must in your arsenal!

900 Global Reality Ball Review by PJ Haggerty
Recently, news came out that Storm Bowling Products purchased 900 Global and that also meant the staff players could throw 900 Global equipment. When this news broke, I was excited to add more equipment to the arsenal and immediately wanted to drill a Reality. The Reality is found in the 900 series and is considered the “heavy oil†ball in the Global line up. With numbers coming in at 2.49 (RG) and differential of .052, the Reality is a perfect ball for longer / heavier volume patterns.
I’ve drilled one Reality so far and really like it. I mapped it out as 4 ½ x 4 x 75 and left the surface alone (2000) and it rolls great. I’ve had the most success when my angles have been in front of me and I can get my hand up the back to tumble it, which has worked on so many different pattens. I also like using the Reality as the first ball out of my bag to see what the pattern looks like. I also know that there’s a ton of balls that compliment the Reality such as: Hyroad Max, Idol Synergy, Axiom.
If you need a big, asymmetrical ball to tackle multiple patterns, the Reality should be the next ball you drill!

900 Global's new 900 series release is called the REALITY. It features a powerful asymmetric core with the new S84 Response cover. Response is a great name for this type of cover. This ball digs in immediately and keeps coming.
I made two attempts at using the REALITY in my normal league, but I didn't want to play 5th arrow on the fresh so I put it away and waited. There's a pattern league that bowls in the middle of the week and I used their open pair so I could throw the Reality on the 45 ft PBA Dragon Pattern. I spent a little time watching the league bowlers get the ball right and take 3 off the right. I threw my first couple shots from in trying to trap it from getting right of 12 down-lane. Then a funny thing happened, the ball went high. I got the next one out to 9/10 and struck. I was surprised to say the least. I decided to see if I could play straighter close to the Out of bounds area. I had to up my speed a little but It was fantastic. I had miss room on both sides thanks to the strength of the ball when I got it right and the length of the pattern when I missed in.
Once I had a chance to see the strength of this core on a higher volume pattern I decided to adjust the cover so I could try using the Reality again in league. I took the cover up to 5000 and took it back out game 1 of league that week. The ball would clear the front but that core strength still kept the ball hooking. I was able to use the ball the first two games and actually shot my high series of the year. The ball keeps its rounder, controlled motion off the back but still continues and hits like it did with the duller cover. The 5k cover just allows the ball to clear the fronts where there isn't as much oil.

I had the pleasure of throwing this ball for the first time on the PBA 48 foot Shark pattern. This ball definitely does not disappoint. Its very clean but still early enough to grab the lane in heavier volumes. This ball is definitely the strongest ball in my bag and even on the shark, I had some miss room to the right as the ball stores enough energy to make it back to the pocket but still held when I tugged it. On a THS this ball is just too strong for me at the centers I bowl at but will definitely be in my bag for longer patterns and shorter heavier volumes. /
Likes:Very strong motion to the pocket, carry was really good. Had some miss room out and some hold inside.
Dislikes:As the pattern transitioned the Reality started to go a little too long before turning the corner and I left a bunch of 7 pins.

900 global came out with a new cover core combination of the S84 Response Solid Reactive and the Disturbance Asymmetric Core.
The Disturbance core was designed with a focus on a shape that will fill a space with the least amount of material, yet still yield the RG/Diff values that all bowlers need.
The S84 Response cover promotes up to 20% larger pore sizes which in turn ensures maximum traction on heavy oil. In addition, the Reality will rival the original Volatility with the S86R cover that was an asymmetric hybrid.
In the videos you will see how the cover core combination comes together with an early revving motion in the heads combined with a strong backend reaction.
In my bag the Reality will be the first out the bag for a heavy oil pattern and maybe on a fresh house shot depending on how much oil is in the mid lane. Then you can ball down to a 900 Global Zen to blend the wet/dry.
I did a ball comparison to the 900 Global Zen, Storm Proton Physix and Roto Grip Rubicon.
In comparison to the 900 Global Zen, the Zen will be a litter more smoother the mids due to having a symmetric pearl coverstock but a touch more reactive on the backend giving you an option to open up your angles.
The Storm Proton Physix drilled pin down can give an option to ball down from the Zen when the lanes become a little dryer and more cliffed.
The Roto Grip Rubicon will give you an option to use on the burn while being able to play around the same area as the other pieces.

The Reality is the newest, high end Asym., from 900 Global. This ball comes from the factory with a 2000 grit finish on the S84 Response Solid cover. When I drilled this ball I was looking for a bigger Asym. where I could really keep my angles more in front of me. While I do have some balls that do this, they really labor once I have to open the lane up a bit…NOT THIS BAD BOY! I was pleasantly surprised that I could keep opening my angles and this ball would keep coming back! The Reality is quite a bit more versatile than what I first imagined. like most asyms for me, it did reach a point that I needed to ball down to get more shape down lane. This balls is very useful on the fresh as it blends the wet/dry well. It also takes to surface changes well, I hit this one with a 3000 pad just to smooth it a touch. The Global balls out of Utah have been Outstanding! I suggest you give them a try!

If bowling has been stale lately and you seem to be out of it. Do not worry just get this ball in your bag and you will see yourself snap back to REALITY! I was missing a strong solid in my arsenal and I have it now. I currently throw around 15.5mph and higher revs and I usually can not roll solids because of how strong they roll for me, but I really enjoy how smooth and clean this ball is through the fronts. Still a really strong ball for me but I can play deeper then ever before without the crazy snap in the backend. Extremely controllable and fun to throw.

Reality..... the first EVER global ball I have throw and man it didn’t disappoint!! This baby is a hook monster on my first shot I kinda guessed where I might need to stand according to my other big hook balls. I had to move about 5 boards left from where I started.
I put the Reality to the test VS the Storm Proton Physixs ( one of my favourite recent releases).
When comparing the two I found the reality was more continuous through the pins and had overall hook of about 3 more boards then the Proton. I definitely had a lot more miss room to the right of I leaked it out the reality would still come back and make the corner where the Proton would just loose to much not recovering.
I’m super excited to put the Reality to the test on long patterns I think this thing is going to kill it. For my first ever Global ball definitely exceeded my expectations!!!!

Review:
If you want a ball that can hook a lot, look no further. The Reality is a ball that will never be described as a ball that doesn’t make a big movement on the lane. This ball is a great heavy oil ball that will really cut through the oil on the high-volume patters. I wasn’t able to use this ball on a typical house shot because it was just too much ball., but it is kept in my tournament bag for when I run into those high-volume patterns. When throwing I got a nice smooth reaction that will store energy for when it hits the pins creating a nice pop when it does. When comparing this ball to other balls in my bag it is hard to tell if the Reality or the Proton Physix is the strongest ball in my bag at this time. Both of which are great option, if you’re looking for something a little different then the Proton Physix get yourself a Reality today!

Video ball review: https://youtu.be/JnSsgWDy2yo
This is the first 900 Global ball I have drilled since 900 Global was brought under the Storm umbrella in 2021 so I was not sure what to expect. This strong asymmetrical piece compliments the Storm and Roto Grip balls like the Proton Physix and the UFO.
When picking a layout for this ball I wanted to fill a gap and have a specific shape. My pin down layout on the UFO made it very conditional and not as versatile as I would have liked out of a strong asymmetrical ball. By placing the pin in the ring it positioned this ball in between the pin ups like my Proton Phyix and RST X-1 and the pin down UFO.
Because of the drilling on this ball it is more zone specific. If I move too far inside the ball will not shape the right way with the out of box surface. I plan on using this ball on medium to shorter patterns on the fresher conditions. I tested it out on 33’ Cheetah after a league night and it was too strong for me to use.

The Reality is a clean versatile solid asym from 900 Global. Usually big solid asyms roll at my foot and don’t do much. They sit in my bag and wait for a “puddle†that I don’t ever see. The Reality is clean and continuous enough that I can use it on more medium patterns. This ball has been out of my bag a lot both on tougher patterns and on some easier. If you’re like me and wanted a more medium solid asym, the Reality is a no brainer!

The new 900 Global balls have been consistently great, and the Reality is no exception. It is not quite as aggressive overall as the Storm Proton Physix, but it is the strongest 900 Global ball that has come out of Utah thus far. That being said, it is just a small step down from the Proton. It has a very strong midlane roll which allows it to handle heavier oil conditions easily, but it is a little bit cleaner than some of the other higher end bowling balls. This allows it to handle transition easier. You can keep moving left with this ball until the head oil gives way, at which point the Zen or Honey Badger Revival come into play.

The Reality from 900 Global is the first ball without a bolt or star on the label that I have used since 2001. That is 20 years! The Reality has a big asymmetric core called Disturbance, and is wrapped in a solid coverstock called S84 Response and comes from the factory with a 2000 grit abralon finish. The numbers in 15lbs are 2.49Rg, 0.052 differential, and .018 intermediate differential. This is the strongest ball that 900 Global has produced to date.
I drilled Reality 4.5 X 3.5 X 2.5. This is the same layout that I have on my pin up Rubicon. With the out of the box finish on a freshly oiled 41 foot house shot, and comparing to a fresh 3000 surface on the Rubicon, the Reality is a little less responsive in the heads of the lane even though it has more surface, picks up in the midlane stronger, and has more forward roll through the backend of the lane. The Reality seemed to blend the fresh pattern a little better than did Rubicon ( Rubicon was a tad flippy on the backend comparably), because Reality slowed down sooner. As the lanes break down, the lower surface grit of the Reality makes it see the transition sooner than with the Rubicon, and I have to move deeper on the lane, and make moves more frequent to keep up with the oil depletion that is taking place. I usually only use this type of layout when bowling on house conditions that have a puddle in the middle, as it helps me blend out the pattern and keeps me inside the oil line and staying away from the dry boards, outside. One note of interest so far is that the cover has seemed to hold the factory surface very well, and has not really lane shined too quickly.
The way Reality reads the lane is different than what I have become accustomed to with my Storm and Roto Grip bowling balls, as a whole. The fact the Reality is a little easier through the heads and picks up in the middle of the lane while not being as responsive at the breakpoint, will be a big plus to compliment what I already have in my bag, moving forward. I definitely am looking forward to this exciting opportunity to use 900 Global bowling balls! Thank you for reading my review of the 900 Global Reality!

Reality
I have been so impressed by the Reality. I drilled it 45x4x20 and man does this ball hook! If I had to describe it in one sentence, I would say it’s a high-end, solid, asymmetric ball that hooks a ton WITHOUT being a big snow tire… which is hard to do! I think Global hit a homerun with the Reality and I have seen a lot of them on racks in tournaments which speaks volumes to me. Go get one, it’s that good!

The New 900 Global Reality is very eye catching, the colors are vibrant and really pop! I was excited to get the new reality into my hands as I was looking for a strong asymmetrical piece in my bag, and the reality did not disappoint at all. This Ball is definitely a go to on my Men's League which is normally a Heavier Volume House shot and this ball Performed Exceptionally well and had no trouble digging in to the fresh sauce applied to the lane. If you are looking for a Strong Rolling Ball that is smooth and continuous on the backend look no further. The New Reality Lives up to the hype around it, Get yours at your local Storm VIP Pro shop Today!

Ball Specs:
900 Global Reality
Cover: 2000 S84 Responseâ„¢ Solid Reactive
Core: Disturbanceâ„¢ Core (Asymmetrical)
Color: Magenta/Aqua/Midnight Blue
Review:
First off, this ball looks very nice on the shelf… Secondly, it hooks A LOT! Be prepared to move left and open up the lane with this beauty. This ball can be compared to the Proton Physix by Storm. If you are experiencing a long oil pattern or just like to send the ball out and watch it come roaring back, then this is the piece to put in your bag. Tournament players with high ball speed will also love the look this ball gives them on the lanes. There is not many bad things to say about this ball. It is very smooth throughout the lane and really packs a punch!

Global 900 Reality - S84 solid reactive coverstock - Disturbance asymmetrical core
2000ab grit factory finish - layout - 70 x 6 x 35
My first Global 900 ball turns out to be a blast of awesomeness! When I saw the picture of the core, I instantly contacted Mike Sinek, staff manager for SPI, that this was going to be a HOME RUN! The core is very similar to the RG Epic Battle from a few years ago and I scored a TON with that ball.
Fast-forward to 2021 and found the Reality to be super in length and holding a ton of energy into the pocket. Pin carry was exceptionally well. The motion all the way down the lane was very subtle and not ultra violent.
An Asys ball that still can be a benchmark ball for mid to heavy volume patterns may it be house or sport conditions. very similar to the Roto Grip RST-X1, just a little smoother in pocket angle.
Thanks again to Bret Bowlers' Supply, Inc and Vise Inserts for their constant support and tutoring...

The Reality is the new Hook Monster from 900 Global. What can you say about this other than WOW. I have yet to find a shot that this ball will not hook on. I thought my RST-X1 hooked, The Reality is at least 5 more boards for me. My biggest issue with Asymmetric balls is they mostly burn up too early with no finish. The Reality not only hooks up front, but also in the midlane, as well as the backend, with tremendous pin action. If you are looking for hook ball, this should be your first option, hands down.

By far, one of my favorite Asymmetrical Solids solids to date! 900 Global introduces the Reality! A strong asymmetrical solid that doesn’t read the lane too early and retains a lot of energy going through the pins. This ball can handle a TON of oil and is a very versatile piece. I have thrown this ball on multiple patterns, and for me, the best time to use it is on the fresh on medium to long patterns with some volume.
This ball gives me a lot of confidence on the fresh and knowing that it is going to hook from anywhere, especially when the lanes haven’t really transitioned yet, gets the arm swing loose and relaxed. Get your hands on arguably one of the best balls on the market right now at your local Storm VIP Pro Shop.

Reality is, This Hooks!!!
The 900 Global Reality is the ball that gives you the most overall hook potential in this brands lineup. It’s a big core ball with the aggressive solid S84 Response coverstock. Its smooth, reads the lane from front to back but very strong continuous motion. When it gets too much early, I switch to the Zen to get down the lane. If it seems to be too much too early, you can also shine it. That always gives me the length I need to get thru the front part to save energy on the backend. If I bowled on more oil or on flatter patterns then I would keep it at the factory 2000 finish. My PAP is 5-1/8 and 1/8 up. Usually around 15-16mph, I’d probably be classified between and tweener and cranker.

Reality is the first Global 900 ball that I have drilled and def will be drilling more. This big asymmetrical ball is a hook monster. Ball reads the fronts very well and continuous down lane. This ball is wrapped with the S84 response cover and has seen a lot of action on a variety of patterns. This ball is very versatile and a def keeper in my tournament bag.

The new 900 Global ball is the Reality. Global' s new big ball, with an asymmetrical core (Disturbance Core) with a solid cover (S84 Response). The Reality has been a huge hit with bowlers at our Storm Matchmakers and has been a top seller for 900 Global! I drilled mine with a 5 inch pin down drilling and added some Storm polish on it. Usually the big Asymms I have a hard time using with my roll, but this Reality with the polish added I was able to use it on multiple patterns including house. very versatile ball for a big ball. I have it under a Proton and stronger than an Axiom.
For me its not as early and has a very round shape downlane. Just drill it with your favorite drilling!
Great ball from 900 Global

900 Global Reality
Disturbance Core
S84 Response Cover (Solid)
The Reality instantly found a spot in my heavy oil bag. Currently the strongest ball (for me) under the Storm/RG/Global umbrella.
After 12 games, I started to see a little lane shine and the ball started to add some versatility.
I can use this ball on a fresh medium-heavy house shot for about 2 games. Most strong, asymmetric solids (for me) are too much for any house shot.
The current 900 Global line is fantastic. Adding the Reality to my Zen and HB Intensity makes for a killer 3 ball combo.
When the lanes are flooded and you are having issues getting to the pocket, make sure you give the Reality a look!!
