900 Global Ball Comparison. Need Feedback

[TCJ]

So after this summer, I'll be getting a new ball since the PBA Experience league gives a gift certificate for the pro shop at the end of the season. I've decided I'll go with 900 Global, but I want some opinions on the following four balls and how they compare to each other:

1. Black Eagle

2. War Eagle

3. Train

4. Freight Train

Thanks!

i can tell you this i got the 900 global the nuts and it is a very hard ball to read because it gose down the lane so far then makes a move and sometimes the move is not enough for for me 900 global i did not like this in the ball and i was looking at videos and i have found from other brands weaker balls are stronger then the strong balls from 900 global.

like for example: the bullet train. i found that the Meanstreak brawler is more aggressive then it but due to bowlingball.com the bullet train was higher on the perfect scale.

but if you like 900 global stuff and if it works for you that's great but just saying that the stuff never really works for me at all.

[TCJ]

Actually, that sounds like what I want. I'm not looking for a super strong ball since it's for two-handed.

[striker12]

no i mean the meanstreak brawler is a snappy backend and give more move where the bullet train was a arc but a slow arc that abrly hooked.

the nuts its a every late hook and it would eather not hook or over hook even with a 1 board change.

I just can not get behind Global 900 equipment from what
I've seen out of it from other bowlers that are throwing it.

All I've ever seen was a more or less inconstant hook out of
their equipment from the bowlers throwing them around here
and so not a lot of bowlers throws their equipment here anymore.

[TCJ]

Thanks for all the criticisms, but is there anyone who can actually give me a comparison of the four balls I listed?

[striker12]

i dont think anyone on the boards here ever throws 900 global they stuck with other brands i have only thrown 1 900 global ball and i have only seen the freight train thrown by someone and he throw it slower then me and i can still get more move out of mine.

soo best thing i can say is dont go with 900 global.

but if anything email 900 global and see if they can send you comparison chart of all the balls and take a look at them and if you dont under stand it abit talk to a proshop.

A pro I know in Blackwell, OK (Chris Lucas) is with 900 Global and he loves their equipment. I can't say that I know a whole lot about the balls you listed, but I know he was using a Dirty Look and Bank Roll at the Oklahoma State Tournament this year. He had a Train or Freight Train with him, but he didn't end up using it as far as I know.

900 Global has been targeting the Eagle series toward bowlers planning on participating at the USBC Open Championships. They often design those with a specific goal in mind.

The Train series has a stronger coverstock, but a more mild symmetric core to make the ball more continuous and less snappy in the backend.

900 Global is not known for long, snappy balls. They tend to lean more toward midlane and/or continuation through the pin deck. Most people don't use them likely because they prefer the "hockey stick" ball motion. They are also no longer registered with the PBA, so you won't be seeing them on TV anymore.

Hope this helps!

Sorry but I haven't used any of the balls listed to be able to give an opinion.
However, after hearing that they don't general use the hockey stick shaped hook pattern, I may have to try some.

The war Eagle and Black Eagle are both basically a remake of the Break/[Break/Break out and are good medium th medium heavy balls depending on your ball speed and rev rate.I havenot thrown them but have had 6 of the Break series and my stuff made irtual Gravitys look likr straight balls in the oil. I have not thrown any of the Train series as i don't see enough oil for that strong of a cover. When I had my Bank Roll i had it polished like a piece of glass and was still in the left gutter on the freshj
