Wow.
F90 finally being used.
Finished with an E pad, 2.49 RG with a Diff of .050.
-
F90? That's crazy but I do like the name "Incinerate".
-
Id absolutely love it had a 70 coverstock, Radar lock and Alert are 2 favorites of mine! 90 is waaaay too much.
-
Hey she is in the p-league right? She has very good form.
-
Very intrigued by this piece. It's a lot of ball, but the black cover appears to have given it a nice, clean, yet very aggressive ball reaction. What's the release date on this thing?!
-
All I know is I GOT TO HAVE IT!!! Just to say I have it!
-
Nice looking/rolling ball...not sure where it'll fit in my bag since I've got a Freight Train and another undrilled sitting around. I may just pick one up as a break in case of an emergency ball for tournaments. haha!
Nice that they decided to include Dave Smart's wife as one of the ball testers for the new 900 Global/AMF products.

Dang u told me on facebook, now you are telling me on ballreviews haha u better get it...I gotta see it in action!

This will be a tough call. The specs are perfect for what I look for in a heavy oil ball, but my Mega was such a waste of money I'm not sure I can dare try AMF again. If this holds to the potential though, it will really fix a hole in my bag as a lower rev lefty who slides thru the breakpoint.
Curious as to release date?
-
May 14th release date.
-
Thanks Steve....

Steve is the man in the KNOW!

Do
Not
Need...

Need and want... two different things!

Gonna be super puke on everything i bowl. The b bullet train is pukey can't imagine f90. Where dothese people bowl that they can use that strong of a cover. S76 is too much for me.....
-
This would be a tournament ball, or for those of us who actually find some oil. I could probably use this at one house OOB. If I bowl on Shark or something of that nature, or maybe the cover will smooth out the wet/dry at some places.
-
True, not too many places to use as far as league shots go. But I sure want one anyway! I am doing a sport shot summer league so I will get some use out of it rather quickly. Not to mention nationals and misc. tournaments.
-
i just got mine have not drilled it yet but have a lot of tournaments coming up with a lot of sport patterns and team USA patterns and feel will get much use out of this ball getting drill tomorrow then bowling on team USA Paris Sunday then Tokyo next week and then London following week and then bowling on PBA patterns this summer in league so will keepyou in the loop on how it reacted thinking of drilling it 4.5 by 5 or maybe if can 5 by 5 will wait til i get to the shop to have it punched up
-
IM waiting for 900's S-90 to be coming out very soon :) and I'm sure it will be a better color then just a solid black ( when i see a solid black ball it makes me think back to my early years in the 1960-70's with all the rubber balls :) ) I hope who ever gets 1 of these the best of luck with it. ^5 IM going to pass on it and just stay with 900 equipment 8)
-
I'm glad you guys don't bowl in my sport shot leagues. Nothing makes a flat shot impossible quicker than someone using a big oil soaker and spraying it all over the place.

It's more of a deep, dark blue. Just looks black from the pictures/video.

I knew that core looked familiar. The Elite Platinum,
http://www.buddiesproshop.com/p-3053-elite-platinum-bowling-ball.aspx (http://www.buddiesproshop.com/p-3053-elite-platinum-bowling-ball.aspx)
uses the exact same core. 900Global must have manufactured the Platinum.
-
900 Global do make Elite. Latest ball is a Break/Double Clutch with different numbers. Don't know about the cover.

Well, actually 900G makes some of Elite's balls (Platinum, Gold, Red Alien, Black Alien, Abduction); others (Espionage, and their sub lines, Yellow Jacket, Rev, BowlersParadise) are made elsewhere.

Glad to see the lady test the ball. Gives an idea of the reaction for straighter shooter.
Even though it is strong, I did not see it rollout.
-
Personally, for a symmetrical heavy oil piece, I like the ball motion more than what I see out of the Trains. I've had 2 Trains, and 1 Freight Train, and even though they hit like monsters, they don't tip the corner very hard, no matter what surface I put on them. If I keep them straighter through the fronts though, it's carry city. I might just try an Incinerate.

I was thinking the same thing doom. I've seen one in action at a medium oilat best ths and it still looked like it made the corner without getting pukey and he usually has to polish everything.
-
I mean, don't get me wrong. The Trains control the front to back motion really well, and work great on tougher patterns. I just get caught in the middle on a THS. Too much to play straighter, not enough bounce to move in and wheel. That's where I would use something that corners harder, like something in the Eagle series.
-
Must look into this ball. I bowl in a singles league that runs 3 different WTBA patterns per season and I reckon this piece may be what I am looking for to give me a little more reaction on the longer patterns (usually 44 to 46 feet) and just a little better carry. Had a lot of success with the Mega Friction so am looking forward to this.
-
I have a friend that punched his, and he said it makes Scorpion look like the china lol.
-
This ball really intrigues me. Ive been looking into it but probably would never get the opportunity to throw it.
-
I tried telling myself I would only punch 900 stuff, so I didn't overload myself with 2 companies. Dang you, AMF! :P
-
Impending Doom,
1. AMF is made by 900 Global so it's not any different.
2. 900 Global and the AMF line are purposely designed to intertwine and make a complete lineup. Yes, you can make a solid lineup from one or the other but they are meant to zigzag between companies.
-
Lol if you don't think doom knows that you don't pay attention much.

I am more than aware. I just don't have room nor budget to be able to pick up all the good pieces. So I had to make some choices, lol.
