.I wouldn't mind trying out one of those Breaks. Where can I get one of these, because our pro-shop orders from a distributor. Ace Mitchell - and you guys don't deal with the distributors, so how and where can I get one of these?

I mean there are all solid colored and just lack luster in todays market.
Heist, Creature & Break ?
These look like something that the former AMF company would put out...
I think we all know that these ball will not sale at retail prices next to the other high end balls from the other companies...

Starting out we had to make due with what we had. The colors may be lackluster compared to others, i will give you that. However the performance doesnt miss a beat. I really dont care what the name is or what the color looks like, if i am burying you in a tournament all i care about is winning. Looks are important in todays market, we will have a better variety in the future. But think outside the box and base your judgement on performance characteristics. Dont get me wrong, we appreciate the "constructive" comments, these will be apart of the growth of our company.

I realize all 900Global balls will be made with their own "choice" of resins, but I thought some either from 900Global or with contacts within 900Global already posted here on ballreviews that the Break's coverstock was Storm's R2S solid???

The Heist has densities in the flip block never use in that combination before and the body of the core has a totally different density.
Why would you think we need to lie, performance speaks for itself. If the balls do not perform they do not sell.
"We do not need you to believe" anything, it is what it is.
Storm built the ball for us as we said all along using our specs. This occurred once before in the history of Bowling where a company had built a ball for another company.
900 Global builds balls for Storm as well, are they Global balls or Storm balls.

I disagree. I prefer solid colored stuff and I think the Break in particular looks pretty sweet.

then some guy says the flip blocks are different, and has different densities. The pictures sure look the same. just tell the truth
Maybe you can tell the density of a certain bit of material just by looking at it but I have to weigh it and compute the volume first. Are, say blue colored pieces more dense than, say, yellow colored pieces?
Companies re-use cores all the time with various tweaks. Phil puts together some great balls and not every core is the most ingenious, groundbreaking, new thing since sliced break but the performance of the balls is as good as anything out there. One might ask just how many lightbulb cores we need (Elements, Vendettas) but I've never heard of someone disliking those balls.
Maybe it looks like the Artillery core. It probably also looks a lot like the Revmaster core. And knowing Columbia, another dozen balls on top of those two. But if the ball rolls well and hits hard for a lot of users, so what?

That's funny not bothering my parade, My "boring" looking Break Hooks a whole lot more the my Total NV and my V2. My Creature also is one of the best pearl balls I have ever used. Besides what is boring about using a ball that will carry well and win me lots of money this year. These balls do exactly what they are said to do bottom line.

I've loved the Track cores and covers for a long time and have had a lot of success with them. I think I need equipment similar to those from the past to continue my success so I'll be trying the new 900 Global/AMF equipment this season.

we had Storm build this release because we didn't know if our core pouring area would be up in time. As you know by now it was and is running, however we didn't want to take the chance. The cover on that ball
is Storm's hp cover I believe RS2 I don't know much about the terms of theirs. As for reaction, let me say long and strong. Thus the name, Break because when it gets there its very very violent. The Creature will be a great mid price addition and will utilize the old Titan core with a new blended reactive BASF resin. "
Thus, charlest, my reason for saying what I did about the R2S...
Sorry if I caused/cause any confusion...

Is the Orbit EX the same ball that's been out or a new one? BTW: I also like solid colored balls.

Thanks for your appreciation. However, I believe there has been some confusion about pieces of info along the way, and that, as a result, bad info has gotten out into the marketplace (including my most recent comment). The Break's cover is NOT R2S. They had Storm pour it, that's it.
And on another note to bombsaway...The Hei$t's core has different densities and core numbers than some of the other cores with similar/identical "shapes," such as the Artillery's, Revmaster's, etc. But the "identical" or "almost the same" core shape itself, if the numbers themselves are different, has nothing to do with ball reaction. That is, if you take the USBC's latest research into consideration. The Revmaster core and the Hei$t core might look the same, but if the numbers are different, and the covers are different, they are too entirely different balls.
Post by: revTrex on August 28, 2007, 09:06:41 PM
Furthermore, they have never claimed these cores or covers were "all new." They have only claimed they are the best combinations available to the consumer today. Which is, I think, not the most heinous thing in the world to do, especially considering how it's their job to do so.
