Comments about 900 Global 900Global Hook Blue/Blue Pearl:
This ball is an explosive backend ball. It is best used on dry to medium oil conditions. Its weight is placed almost perfectly for the bowler and the type of ball. The surface of the ball is comfortable, a few flaws here and their , but almost superb in its feel. This ball has a tendency to flip and "GO POWER" , it has a slow reacting hook. Best used with medium speed. This ball is perfect for beginners, as well as regular bowlers. This ball must be used often to get a feel for it. This ball will pounce on the frontend and follow through with the backend. If your a speed bowler, not recommended for you, as this ball thrown hard will split you into "Rabbit Ears" and 7-10 splits everytime. This ball reacts better to a medium oil based type alley. In heavy oil it will crank slow and seems to bog down forever and usually will attack very slowly and will carry nill on this type of alley. It attacks visciously when thrown at medium speed and will carry through well. It does have a weakness if it hits the "Los Angelos " side and will erupt into a volley of 9 or 8 pin hits. If hitting on the "Brooklyn Side" it will carry much better and usually stays out of the splits area. If your a "splititus bowler" I would highly suggest this ball. Some people do not like the grip and looks of this ball, but I have been testing balls for different companies for a long time and I feel that this ball will have a much greater influence on the market down the road ! So if you have a lot of splits, then try this ball, if in its right element can carry well and guarenteed it will raise your average, just try to force this ball as it will not work for you. Keep it medium speed and dry to medium oil on the lanes and it will be a good ball for you. The price isn't bad either. That folks is something especially in these economic times....NO FOLKS I DO NOT GET PAID OR COMPENSATED FOR BEING A BALL CHECKER !
