Ball is definatly a monster. It rolls so consistantly, hits the best out of any of my balls, and is flat out thee sickest rolling bowling ball I've ever rolled. The other day, I drilled up a Hammer Anger. I thought this ball would be the ball of the year, it rolled just amazing. The Anger compared to The Break, The Break is definatly on top by a mile. It is sooo angular off of breakpoint, its amazing. I absolutely am stunned by the balls movement, and I would hate to see this ball polished. Ebonite putting a ball out called the "Angular One" will be embarassed after 900 Global put out this ball. It flat out just hooks crazyyy.

Conditions were heavier, I drilled it, and just kept it OOB. Started Playing 15 to 5 and the ball had just an amazing comeback. When my pro-shop guy came out, he was laughing at how sick the ball movement was. So I went ahead and showed off a little bit, throwing 20 to 5, and having a HUGE move back to the pocket. He was definatly surprised about this ball...

My Recommendation: Pick one of these balls up as SOON as you can. The ball redifines the word "Angular" and "Bowling Ball". I absolutely think this is the best ball I have ever thrown.

Yeah, to that question, I actually recieved mine from All Star Bowling, who is fairly popular around here, he had a bunch of them in.

I have contacted him about getting the Creature, no response as of yet.

There are no websites selling this ball over the net, just strictly through pro shops. If your shop refuses to sell a 900 Global ball, I will be more than willing to help out. It would be a shame if any shop refused to sell the Break or Creature. The Break is by far the best ball in my bag. If interested pm me.

If you are interested in The Break shoot me a PM, I have 4 in stock right now. 3 15lbs and a 14lb. Drilled one for a guy that works in my shop and the ball is very very nice! Dude is correct though, the pricing is a bit higher...in my opinion it is well worth it.

Well Kenny is correct if you have wanted a solid ball that clears the heads in decent oil and flat out moves in the midlane and backend this is a must have bowling ball. Drilled pin 4 1/2 pin to pap cg stacked below mb about 1 1/4 right and below the thumb probably 4 3/4 area to pap.

The new house shot is modified for the newer stronger equipment that has surfaced, plenty of oil upfront now and decent backends but not even close to flying like say the south point here in vegas.

I had it out tonight with the following balls:

Total Nv drilled almost exactly like the break ball was more rolly than the break and had decent backend. Total is 1000 and then degree 2000 polish.

mean machine pin over ring 4 3/4 x 4 1/2 mb box finish ball was alot more even than either the Break or Total, very rolly ball had some backend but nothing extreme.

lane 1 solid cobalt same drilling as break and total but remember no mb on this ball, ball surface was too shiny it hardly moved compared to the break and total. Maybe 5-6 total boards of hook alittle bit of backend nothing to sneeze at.

Euro Storm drilled same solid cobalt, ball is pearlized and had zero chance tonight moved maybe 3-4 boards on the same line as the others. This is version of the Thunder Road pearl if you did not know this, curelyon pearl and the famous t-road core thin t-road pearl to get a closer comparison.

On edit my mb is more towards my thumb but my pin position is right where kenny's is, so my ball would flip alittle harder for me than his drilling.

You are right xfest, this ball is a beast, rolls smooth and turns the corner with extreme power, looks like the ball picks up speed after it turns. Awesome ball, hits a ton, Thank you Phil for putting this beast on the market.

Drilled up one of these earlier tonight.. I went with a 3 1/4 pin to pap and 5 inch pap to mass bias layout. It also has a weight hole just below my VAL..

This layout should be a skid/flip type reaction. I will try it out this weekend and report back what I think..

Thanks to Eric for hooking me up with the ball..

I used this fine gem tonight for game 1 and 2 of a new league for me, i have not practiced at this house this year nor really like the place too corporate for my liking it is Sunset Station which is a nice place but too big.

Anyhoo i warmup and have a nice look with the break right away, go 258 and 234 chasing the oil before changing to the Rival for game 3 for 191. i tried to go 2 steps down to highly polished Sure Fire but it went a mile and never picked up any roll.

I think 492 for 2 games of never bowling there in over a year is a great start, handicap is 90 percent of 220 i might go down but 228 average is a very good start for me. I honestly flagged 5 single pin spares in game 2 and 3, so i do stink but with my drillers/new coaches help i might have a shot at 215 or so this year.

I am going whack them at this house and my old home house tomorrow night, The Break is a must have ball for medium's with the Rival being smoothier for a nice step down.

How does The Break compare to Track's Kinetic?

Having thrown both at their OOB surfaces (Break 4000 Kinetic 2000 and polish) with similar drills the break is stronger overall if you have some volume/length to the pattern...

Check out my videos for both spinner...although they were filmed at different times, they are on the same patterns so they should be somewhat close

I'm actually tugging this ball along with me tomorrow and Sunday, for a Junior Gold tournament in Ohio, and a JBT tournament the next day at the same house.. Should be fairly interesting, I will update with scores as I recieve them.

bombsaway --

I'd say that the Creature should be weaker overall than the Kinetic, and have a more rounded breakpoint shape...the Creature should be a good, light-medium oil ball, whereas the Kinetic should be a very angular, medium-medium/heavy oil ball.

Hypothetically, and Bar could probably answer this or confirm it, I see the Break fitting above the Kinetic in terms of total hook (but maintaining a similar breakpoint motion on the proper amount of oil), and the Creature fitting under that...though there might be too much of a gap, in which case a smooth-rolling solid might be a great fit, like an AMF Hei$t.

You could have a decent little arsenal:

900G The Break
Track Kinetic
AMF Hei$t
900G The Creature

Hope this helps!

Yep watched my lefty throw the Heist last night for the first time bowling with him, very smooth ball has good midlane and smooth backend.

It will not wow you like the reaction of the Break but it made his Fury Pearl that he also tried look very bad.

The heist is a nice ball something amf needed instead of more hook in the box like the radar alert.

Yes but remember the break is 4k and the resurgence is 1k, the resurgence is more ball needing more oil in box finishes. The Break is a more useable ball and i like the reaction to much to cut it down to 1k, i might cut down a 2nd break to 2k when i ever get it.
