900G Ember? Anyone have one?
I bought one about 2 months ago and so far it has been the worst ball I have ever bought. Very unpredictable and inconsistent. It's drilled similar to my others at a 55x4.5x40. So pretty neutral drilling.
I started out with OOB finish and the ball snapped through the nose. My hardest hooking ball I have ever owned. Went down one day to practice and got black marks all over the ball so threw it on my spinner and took it to 4000 with no polish. Ball was still very snappy so took it to 3000. Now it is tamed down quite a bit but no matter where I stand it seems to be erratic. I have not found any room for error with the ball ever. The only time I see any consistency is standing about 25-30 and throwing to the left gutter (lefty here).
I'm about to give up on the ball and take it out of my bag.
Anyone have one and what were/are your thoughts on that ball?

And speaking for myself, I've never thrown the Ember. My only experience with 900 Global was my old Bullet Train and that Special Ops that I won in a raffle.Originally Posted by J Anderson
The Bullet Train was okay...hard to say since I was still learning HOW to bowl when I threw it. But, the Special Ops was absolutely terrible. Lots of people had good things to say about it...but I couldn't get it to work.

I have quite a few 900G balls and really like them but so far I hate this Ember. I can't get it to do the same things twice in a row. But tomorrow is position round and we are in 10th of 11 teams. As long as we win 1 game we cannot drop any spots and we'd likely have to win all 3 and have teams above us play just right to move up so I think my plan is to maybe throw the Altered Reality to start then throw the Ember the rest of the night no matter what happens. We will have at least 4 lefties on our pair tomorrow so that should help me with this ball.
