900 global vs. other
i have been drilling a lot of 900 global stuff lately,
(black ops, dream big, dream on, boo yah)
i feel most of this equipment rolls a lot compared to other balls.
any thoughts?
I can honestly say, out of all the leagues I bowl in/sub in/etc at my alley, not a single person rolls 900 Global.
Storm is the most popular, followed by various EBI brands, Brunswick, Rotogrip, and Motiv in any particular order. There are even a few guys who roll Lane Masters.
Current Average: 190
My Arsenal:
Hammer Bad Intentions
Storm Rocket
Hammer Black Urethane
Columbia WD Spare Ball
i will agree not many people throw 900 global about the only know pro on their staff is Chris Barnes, but i am not saying they are a bad brand but the balls act differently just not sure if its good or bad
Several 900 Global staffers in my area. So seeing more and more of them being thrown.

are they shooting higher scores with their 900 global balls?
One of my local shops just made the PSO a rep so we are seeing quite a bit of it now. In general I think most of it's pretty good but I haven't bought any personally.

I wouldn't say higher scores are being thrown. Just the usual scores with a different color ball going down the lane.

The PSO at my house is a 900 Global dealer (They also do Storm/Ebonite). However, none of the staff at the PSO uses anything 900 global and I don't see anyone in league using it either.

I think everyone missed what you actually asked.Originally Posted by new timer 325
The main difference between the different manufacturer's balls is usually the cover material. Brunswick's are typically considered the most rolly balls, With Storm balls being more "skid-flippy".
900 Global most of the time when I've seen them talked about, they mention skid/flip a lot more than rolly. But I think their kind of in between Big B and Storm.

Chris barnes does not like a lot of skid flip type reaction balls and almost never uses asymmetrical equipment. So with his inevitable input in regards to product development you can count on mostly even rolling releases.
