900 Global Website
« on: September 14, 2007, 01:58:01 AM »
Does 900 Global have a website and if so, does anybody know what it is.  I bought a Break (used) and would like to look up the ball to find out drilling recommendations.

Thanks.

Try this link.

I just bought The Break and drilled it with a 3 3/8 at 45 degrees. Rolls and hits great.

Another option for ya:

Contact Eric Thomas either here (pm him) or through email. He or newguy (Phil) should be able to help you greatly.

Good luck -- the Break is an incredible ball.

Thanks for the feedback.  JLS just sent me a Break and the pin is right and even with the ring finger about an 1 1/2 and the CG stacked.  I track medium and wonder if this drilling will roll out to quickly?

The ball is in great condition and I recieved the ball from JLS even before he said I would have the ball.  Great transaction.

Note:

The Break is an asymmetrical ball -- meaning the MB placement, not the CG, will be more important to you in regards to drilling.

Secondly, "medium track" and a brief description of the layout in relation to finger holes is of little use to us. I would suggest taking the ball to your pro shop, having your driller mark your PAP, and then measure the pin-PAP and MB-PAP distances. That way, we might be able to help you better.

Third, and this is in reference to your question of "will it roll out," what do you want the ball to do? I'm guessing you want a strong motion in the back part of the lane, on heavy medium - heavy oil, with a good amount of continuation...I would suggest, depending on your rev rate, a 4.5-5 Pin-PAP distance, with the MB in a strong position. After that, you can adjust the surface to suit your game and needs.

Hope this helps, and enjoy your new ball!

Thank you RevTrex.

I didn't have a drill sheet so all I noticed wsa the pin and CG.  Looking at the ball again, I'm guesing the the 900 is the marking for the MB????

If thats true then the pin is about 1 1/2 directly right of the ring finger and the 900 is directly under the thumb.

My PAP is 4 7/8 and 5/8 up with all my bowling balls except the Solid Uranium.  That ball track is a little inverted.

I have a rev rate of about 350 and about 16.5 mph ball speed.

I am currently throwing an Anger (2), Raid (2), Megaton Hybrid, Blue Vibe and currently working with a couple of No Mercy Beat'ns.  So I am looking to put this ball as an medium heavy oil ball.

Hopefully I answered some of your questions.  You have answered a couple of mine.

Yes, the 900 is the MB.

Without seeing the ball and being able to measure, my best guess is that the Pin-PAP distance is about 3.5-4 and the MB-PAP is about 5-5.5. It probably isn't a bad layout for you, though I worry (a little) about your slightly rev dominant game and the strong pin position. Then again, if you want this ball to fit above your Angers, this drilling and ball will certainly do that...

How do you plan on using the Beat'ns in relation to everything else? How do you have everything else drilled?

Glad to help, no problem!

Thanks again for your feedback RevTrex.

I drilled the two Beat'ns first.  Drilled very similar with layout #1, pin above the ring finger and the HART near the ball track.  Duled one to 1000 Abralon and polished the second.  Never got a good feeling or read on either ball.  Then I got the first Anger drilled just like the Beat'ns and the Anger rolled tremendous for me.  Read the lane great and not over under.  So I ordered another Anger and drilled it with the pin along side my ring finger and the CG/MB in the strong position.  Second anger is much stronger.

While I was in vegas I had a Raid drilled out and didn't really care for the reaction.  Someone on Ballreviews recommended taking a grey scotchbrite pad to the Raid and the ball came to life for me.  Pin above the ring finger and MB right along the right side of the thumb.  Liked it so much, I ordered another Raid.  The Blue Vibe is drilled just like the Beat'ns.

The ball I like to use is the Megaton Hybrid with the pin under the ring finger and the CG kicked right into the strong position.  The ball/drilling picks up a little earlier for me since my ball track is a little low.

So I wanted a ball to handle a little more oil then the Anger and was stronger on the back end.  Thats why I bought the Break.

Thanks again for you help.

The reaction you want is what you will get from the Break. The reason I asked about the Beat'ns is that I didn't want the Break to overlap another ball in your arsenal, especially if you really liked the reaction you got from the Beat'ns. The Beat'n, for some people, is a definite "big backend" oil ball -- for others, it wasn't, and was just pretty close to the original No Mercy in terms of ball reaction.

As it seems you don't have any problems with strong drills, I would venture to say that you shouldn't have any problems with your Break, drilled the way it is. Just measure the pin-PAP distance in advance; you don't want to find out later (if, for whatever reason you didn't like the reaction) that it was actually something like 2.5 inches pin-PAP (it's probably not, but it's better to be safe than sorry).

If you are definitely concerned, however, about The Break being "too much ball" -- or if you really wanted to make sure that you maintain the uber-strong breakpoint -- consider a slightly further pin-PAP distance (perhaps you could match the drilling on your Raid).

All in all, you can't really go wrong. The current drilling will give you more flare than if you were to further the pin-PAP distance, meaning more hook potential, but also a hypothetically more rounded breakpoint (but still, by no means, weak).

If you need more info on what I'm trying to describe (in terms of the different ball reactions possible with The Break), check out Bar's video (link below). It's very accurate in regards to how the different drillings will affect the Break's ball motion path.

Thank you for the video RevTrex.  I think I'll plug the fingers only to move them up to my span and leave the thumb alone basically leaving the drilling alone.  I can always plug and re-drill later.

I'll probably use the Beat'ns and the Blue Vibe for practice bowling balls and see if it makes sense to replace any of the bowling balls n my bag.

Thanks again for the help.
