The Bank features our newest core design ?Self Righting Core? (SRC). The SRC is both homogeneous in nature and also mono-monostatic. The unique core shape contains only one stable point. Unlike all other cores in the industry the SRC core will always move and twist to its stable position regardless of how or where it is placed. It will right it self! Our testing indicated that when in rotation the core shape easily moves without resistance or hesitation in seeking the stable spot helping give the bank greater ease in transitioning through the phases of ball motion. Other cores on the market that have multiple stable, or flat spots, must expend additional energy to move off of that position and thus not efficiently and effectively optimize energy transfer to yield maximum ball reaction. The SRC, once in motion, does not need to expend additional energy to seek its sole stable position and therefore creates optimum ball reaction for the bowler. An additional benefit of the SRC is the value of the ?Moment Arm?. The moment arm measures the likelihood of a force to rotate an object about any given axis. The larger the moment arm the greater amount of loping and imbalance forces the core will have during rotation. This effect leads to increased energy retention. The SRC has the greatest moment arm available. The combination of having the greatest moment arm and only one stable point creating the least resistance gives The Bank a unique and powerful motion.

Comments about 900 Global 900Global Bank:

This is the first ball out of my bag at PBA Regionals. Great mid-lane read and a very predictable and controllable flip at the backend for a firm but not too strong finish. This is the only ball in my bag that blows 5's and makes messengers. I'm on my 3rd ball and recently bought a case of 4 as I know they'll be hard to get as time goes on.

Comments about 900 Global 900Global Bank:

This by far the best ball I have ever bought. The ball grips the lane like no other I have ever had. The fourth week since using the "bank" I bowled my first 700 series. The ball has great backend and really drives the pocket. I have sometimes missed my mark by four boards right and it still comes back and carries the strike. I'm very happy I purchase this ball. The SRC in this ball seems to really make the diffence. I'm a 190 average bowler and I haven't shot anything less than 630's since I got the ball.

Comments about 900 Global 900Global Bank:

I absolutely LOVE my Bank. I have drilled two of them now and the picture below is the latest. I think this is one of the most versatile balls on the market, as far as making adjustments with surfaces and seeing a HUGE difference in ball reaction.

I have used the ball on a wide variety of patterns, lengths, lane surfaces, etc. From house shots to sport shots and PBA patterns to international events, this ball has been a HUGE asset to my bag!

If you use the ball out of the box or with a dull surface, it definitely needs some oil. It rolls early and has a strong backend motion. Using the ball with this surface would be good for people with HIGH speed, lower rev rates or people that are struggling with seeing their ball go too long on oily conditions.

However if you shine the ball up, you can also use the ball on medium to dry patterns. It becomes a little more skid/flippy and the shine allows the ball to get further down the lane and not loose any energy. This is the ball I used at the beginning rounds of the Tournament of Champions, in order to make it into the Elite field.

We've drilled a lot of Banks for our pro shop customers and everyone has loved this ball!

This ball is a true high end powerhouse. Lots of midlane roll and continuation, with a surprising amount of pop at the break point.

Ball is money in the BANK, never quits!

Comments about 900 Global 900Global Bank:

Just got my Bank and there is really something to this new SRC Core from 900 Global, it's just not hype. I've never had a ball hook so much and continue on the backend. Even when the Bank looks like it picks up a little early in the mid lane, it still is amazingly strong on the backend. This will be my heavy oil ball, and I'm going to get another and polish it up for Medium lanes. Not only that, now I qualify for both of their WSOP seat online qualifiers. I'm gonna win that $11,000 main event seat! Nice work 900 Global, keep it up!
