To me, this ball was a little sooner than the gold honey badger, later than the white hot badger, with all the back end you could ever ask for. Here comes the wolverine, and like its superhero counter part, it pulls out its claws and goes to work. When reviewing this ball, after testing the Nova, I immediately remembered everything I every loved about all badgers. Then combining the cores of my favorite 900 global balls, badger and honey badger, the only question I ask myself was why did I wait on this ball. This ball should work well for many different styles of bowlers.Ī new ball with the great s70 coverstock, always gets my attention. There is very little deflection when the ball enters the pocket. The Wolverine reads the lane nicely and drives hard through the pins. The Wolverine is priced right and as more people see it go down the lane or try it at a ball demo sales should pick up. It is an easy move to go to the Wolverine when the Altered Reality is too strong. The Wolverine fits between my Burner Pearl and Altered Reality in hook potential. I like using Symmetric balls for a benchmark reaction. The Wolverine definitely fits into the category for medium conditions and may end up being my benchmark polished ball much like the Ordinance C4 can be a benchmark dull ball. I am not sure if it is because of where I have tried the ball to this point but I am seeing more of a control ball than a flip ball. Global shows this to be a flip type ball but for me it has a very nice long motion. The Global Wolverine is a great looking Pearl ball that reads the lane very well. So if you're needing a ball for those later games in league without sacrificing strong hitting power, talk to your PSO about the Wolverine! What I was impressed was, not only the color scheme that has some purple sheen pearl in there you can't see from pics, but this is a very strong pearl I can really open up my angles if I need to and know this ball will come back and hit with energy. I went with a long pin layout that puts it just above and left of my middle finger as I wanted something super clean with great recovery for burned-up patterns requiring me to play deeper angles. 053 differential tells you it will be storing that energy for the backend and boy does it. The 2.54 RG will naturally get the ball thru the fronts, but the. For me, it's like a cleaner, stronger version of the Idol Pearl. I've been hearing comparisons like it's a step up from the Hyroad pearl. The release of the Wolverine by 900 brings a dry-lane option to your bag that's does not lack strength or power on the backend. I recommend adding the Zen to your arsenal too.900 Wolverine will be your friend on dry lanesīowlers Info: RH tweener, PAP 4-1/2 x 7/8 up, 365 RPM, 17* of Axis tilt, 60* of Axis Rotation It will have a place in my arsenal for a long time. In conclusion, the 900 Global Zen is simply awesome for players like me! I loved the freedom and confidence rolling the Zen brought to my game. I enjoyed how the S77R Pearl coverstock allowed the flexibility to play right and tight or left and loose. On a medium challenge pattern, it created a well-defined front to back movement you could clearly read and easily adjust to. Tweaking the box surface with 3000 grit, the Zen simply came alive for me! On a THS, this cover eliminated guess work with its predictable and stable motion. Out of the box, on fresh oil, it cleared the heads smoothly and had a strong snap off the pattern - yet this was only the beginning. The S77 Response Pearl coverstock is an impressive mixture added to the Zen. 900 Global has seriously met the challenge of symmetric cores with the "no weight hole" rule for players like me with the Meditate core. I loved being able to play with the touch off my hand backed by a reliable crushing power through the pins. Being a high speed/low rev bowler, it's not unusual for symmetric cores to "roll out" or "deflect" through the deck leaving those aggravating "flat tens." With the Zen, however, I found the Meditate core rev'd consistently strong down lane, yet exploded its stored energy at the pins. For a straighter, down and in type player like me, this new design brings a much welcomed confidence to symmetric cores. The heart of the Zen is the new massive Meditate core.

The all-new 900 Global Zen delivers absolute security to your game! The brilliant combination of Meditate Symmetric Core and S77R Pearl coverstock elevates the Zen to a powerful rolling force you can trust and depend on.
