Drilled as a step down from my Reality using the same layout it gave me the symmetrical shape expected from the  solid cover S77R and smoothness of the Zen.

Intended to handle more volume it is my first ball used on the fresh in league and the perfect 1-2 combination with the pearl.
More control from a multitude of angles depending on your style. My best looks were from playing the track, then moving in playing steeper angles with slower ball speeds.

As always the cover takes adjustments well, which I prefer mine close to oob with lane shine.

If you wanted a stronger zen you got it with this ball for sure!!!!!  I drilled this one 45X4X40 and WOW!!!! I was able to play about 12 to 5 with it and just move left and never lost the power to the pocket at all in league..  throwing it on challenge patterns or sport shots with longer oil 42-45FT was and still is first ball out the bag the ball is smooth and strong!!!! And plays amazing compliment to the original Zen...  From the lower rev bowler that needs a little more in the back ends in league to the high rev speed dominate bowler who needs it to make that turn and toss those pins around the Zen master has a place in everyone's bag for sure

900 Global  Zen Master - layout: 65 x 5 x 25 - 1500 grit sanded
Ball test conditions: Practiced on 44ft THS on SPL and 46ft THS on older HPL
Looking to replace a piece I feel I have been missing with the OG Idol was removed from the current line, I was excited to hear that the Global Zen Master was going to be released… So, to do a real good comparison, I drilled it to my most favorite Idol layout I used in the past. 65 x 5 x 25. For me, it looks like a over the label drilling with a delayed pin. The colors match very well on the ball, a little phasing even helps it I think, able to see the ball change motion better than the one color solids like the OG Roto Grip Idol. Was a little early on reading the patterns until the ball took on the lane shine, which I guess I could have taken up to fresh 4000, but I rather see how the ball changes as the lane shine on the cover takes on the change patterns as I use it. A little earlier off of the pattern and earlier into hook part of the motion, but still retain energy in the roll phase in the back end of the pattern and dry part of the lanes. Even using in the drier part of both patterns with a hand position change to add a little more forward roll, the ball held its own and did not hook early and did not lose any energy because it still had a great overall look on the back end. If you are looking for the OG Idol replacement - this 900 Global Zen Master is for YOU!

With the popularity of the original Zen when I saw 900 Global was releasing the Zen Master I wanted to see how a solid version of this ball would react. I liked the stronger earlier roll of the original Axiom and wondered if this would be a good replacement for it in my arsenal and if it would be similar in overall reaction. When I compare the ball motion of both bowling balls on the house shots in my area this ball is just as early as the Axiom and with the out of box finish was just as slow when the ball would reach the dry at the end of the pattern. But as I rolled the ball more and more the cover would shine up and the ball became cleaner in the front of the lane, began to store more energy and read a little quicker off the dry.

This was the last ball I drilled before we checked my PAP for future drillings. My PAP did change so the original layout of with a 4 ½ pin became a 3 ⅞ pin placement making this stronger symmetrical piece that flares more and rolls earlier for me. Instead of using this ball on house shots this ball gives me the option of a strong symmetrical ball for shorter sport patterns.

The super popular Zen now has a heavy oil companion in the Zen Master.  If you’ve been needing a ball with teeth and power, look no further.  This ball is made for long or heavy patterns, it is one of the biggest pieces in my arsenal.  I don’t see heavy oiled patterns that often, so I decided to experiment and added a light amount of 1500-grit polish so that it would mimic lane shine and retain energy for me to play on more medium – medium-heavy patterns.  This turned out fantastic as my opening game ball for my league!  This ball is a heavy rolling piece that shreds racks!  Earlier than my Phaze 2, Reality and Idol pieces that I can use early in league and tournament play before transition kicks in as I couldn’t move too far left with this one due to my lower speed.  If you’re a lower rev player or a speed dominant player, this one will definitely fit in your arsenal!

Adding to the widely loved Zen series we have the Zen Master. Since they announcement of this ball I think many people have been excited to get it on the rack. It does not disappoint that's one thing I can say.
When first throwing the Master I was very pleased with how it read the midland, and had power coming off the spot. It been great for me on the fresh as my house shot has a little bit higher volume, it handles the oil great.
The Zen Master is going to be a killer on sport shots where I need a ball to blend out a tough pattern or reverse block.
Also found that this ball responds very well to service adjustments to get that perfect shape your looking for.
