For all of those whom think the Black Widow is a good ball...
« on: July 12, 2007, 10:41:03 AM »
THE BREAK by 900 Global will be out this month. Did the test about 3 weeks ago with Eric and punched the certified one today and WOW! The Break comes 4000 Abralon sanded and tested it that way with a 5 X 4 1/2 drill. It rolled up much more than the BW head to head and had more drive off the spot. We polished it up with rubbing compound and then with polish and the BW finally stood up to the performance of the Break. The Break will be one of the best balls produced this year at an affordable price - just thought I'd get this out before Bowler's Journal or BTM did.

We are looking into the registration process as we speak.  We still have some time before its due for the upcoming season.  AMF product is approved now, as well as the old Dynooz.  As for next year hopefully we will have a concrete answer to pass along to you sometime in August.  This is certainly a very big decision for us regarding our budget (very expensive).  Jokingly I suggest if you want to see all of our products registered and in the hands of the top touring players BUY MORE OF OUR BALLS.  No but seriously buy our stuff!

I'm confused about that comment about Storm. Is Storm making the first batch of Break balls, or are they being made in San Antonio (old Columbia factory)?

I thought I read somewhere that Storm bought a section of the San Antonio plant????

Wow, I guess it depends on your definition of affordable!  I have yet to find anybody that is quoting a price of less than $140 shipped.

I can get the BW for $120 shipped, so I would hope that it would outperform it!

I guess I'll sit on the fence for this release, especially since the Break is being made by Storm - I don't have a lot of good experiences with Storm.  $140 for something new, from a "new" company might be asking a little too much.

Sounds like the going rate for a premium ball these days.  Fury Series, NV Series, No Mercy, Track The Rising, and Columbia Resurgence balls are all right around $139.95.

If The Break is their premium ball, no reason not to sell it at the same price point.  I agree you might not want to compare to a lesser priced ball - Brunswick wouldn't compare a Fury to something in the BVP series.  Either way, it sounds like the Break is a solid performer, and we've all seen/read what the BW can do.

I guess you can argue that they are a new company, but I think their past history lends some credibility - you can't lump them into a group with Banger and Insite (not that there is anything wrong with those companies, they seem to have good products).

If you don't want to buy the ball, don't buy it.  Maybe you can pick up a used one for a better price.  I for one am looking forward to seeing the ball in action.

All this talk about a ball that just started shipping today.....can't wait to it's actually available for sale and to see some videos!

Then the Break should be the ball of the year according to your own conclusions and it hasn't even been used yet , I'd say thats a lot of hot air but we'll see

I'm surprised at the responses and questions. We had the BREAK built at Storm so we could assure ourselves a product for this bowling season. This was based on us reassembling the plant. That process went quicker than we had thought so we are currently building other product. AMF Heist, Orbit Extreme and the 900 Global Creature. The Break was built by Storm using our core and our resin formula.
This is similar to us building Tropicals for Storm it is their core and their resins.
The Break is not a Storm ball, it is a Global ball.

Some people just have ZERO common sense or they choose not to read some information. I have no idea which.

How do you get from I'm surprised at all the questions to we don't want anymore customers? I simply stated that it surprises me that this much attention would be given to a "Start up" company and all the speculation, I'll repeat all the speculation, not questions about the company.
Strikezone threw the ball and posted his opinion, 20 people who have never seen the ball go down the lane have come up with everything from the ball isn't what he said it was to it's a Storm ball.
Tell me that wouldn't be a bit surprising to you?

Is there a picture of this ball yet?  I looked on 900global.com and there is only a picture of shoes.

Radars were multi density this is single density, radars were symmetrical this asymmetrical. Actually the shapes are really nothing alike.

The cores look nothing alike. The Break resembles, at best, Ebonite's One cores. I like what I see from the numbers.

We had the first 300 recorded using the Break by a bowler in NC this week.
