900 Global Eternity Bowling Ball

(27 reviews) Write a Review

As with all of our high performance pearl covers, bowlers will find the Eternity to be easily tunable and able to cover a broad spectrum of oil conditions. Bowlers should notice this core to be a bit earlier and more aggressive than the Disturbance Core used on the Realities. It will expand upon the high performance shapes that the Reality and Zen have given us.

THE EPOCH ASYMMETRIC

The Epoch Asymmetric Core is an ALL NEW design that was inspired from the original Break Core that was used in so many previous Global releases. We have lowered the intermediate differential on the core compared to the Break Core to prevent the ball from losing energy too quickly or “lock up” as some asymmetric pieces tend to do. Bowlers should notice this core to be a bit earlier and more aggressive than the Disturbance Core used on the Realities. It will expand upon the high performance shapes that the Reality and Zen have given us.

    Posted by Sandra McIntire on Jun 24th 2023

    I am a higher speed, rev challenged 220-250ish, high tilt, high rotation, and super low track player, I drilled my 900 Global Eternity 5x3x2 using the Storm VLS and my axis point is 3 ¼ right and 7/8 up. I immediately changed the cover by hitting the ball with 360, 1000, and step 2 polish. The 900 Global Eternity for me is very clean and not as strong as I would have predicted. However, I did drill a 14lbs ball equating to a higher RG and smaller diff, which does not serve me well. If I were to drill another ball I would consider drilling a 15lbs ball, so I can get the benefits of the lower RG and bigger Diff. Overall, the ball is responsive and I see myself using this on Medium to lower volumes of oil.

    Eternity is the reintroduction of the S84 Response Pearl coverstock. This cover became a fan favorite on the Volatility Torque and the Altered Reality. While i never threw the VT, i had 2 Altered Reality's and the Eternity is definitely similar in shape. Eternity is a big cleaner and rounder overall, which makes it match up for me a whole lot better. Where the Altered Reality felt like it wouldn't cover a lot of boards or continue through the pins, the Eternity is smoother off the spot overall and keeps going through the deck in a way that makes this ball much more useable for me. Overall, Eternity is a big, smooth, strong pearl ball that still is more angular than the Absolute and cleaner than the Infinite Physix.

    I drilled the Eternity (5 x 4 ½ x 4 ¼), I use this ball when I need a bigger ball to read in oil. The cover is strong for a pearl, and the core is like the Reality. I didn’t use the Reality; the core and cover are very strong, and the amount of oil need never came into play. The Eternity with surface is enough ball for that purpose. A closer comparison is the Eternity to the Reality Check. 900 Global used a much cleaner cover to help the ball get down lane and I enjoy that much more. I love the colors and how this ball rolls down lane.

    Posted by Brian Watson on Jun 12th 2023

    The New Asymmetrical Pearl in the 900 Global line is the Eternity Pearl. The Eternity Pearl is a replacement for the Altered Reality that was part of the USBC hardness issue. I drilled my Eternity Pearl pin up with a 4 1/2 x 4 x 2 layout. I also hit the surface with a 500/1000 pads and added Storm Step 2. Reacta Gloss really doesnt match up with my ball roll. Step 2 has always been very consistent for me. Compared to the Altered the Eternity Pearl is a little cleaner and doesnt get as forward coming out of the midlane and back like the Altered did. Eternity has more shape downlane. So when the bigger solid Asyms start to labor a little like the Gem or Reality the Eternity Pearl is very good option. At my shop I suggest for bowlers to just pick their favorite drilling on this one as I think its that good of a ball. All of my customers really like the motion. I like it also and it just seems to carry very well with keeping the pins low. Great addition for the 900 Global line!

    900 Global Eternity Coverstock: S84 Response Pearl Reactive Core: Epoch Factory Finish: Reacta Gloss Layout: 4 x 4 x 2 I waited a bit too long to drill the Eternity. I had a couple Altered Reality balls I really liked and figured I was covered. With Nationals coming up, I decided to drill the Eternity to see if I could find a shiny, fairly stable asymmetrical piece for the bag. I am quite happy I did. I put a bit stronger 4 inch pin on this Eternity and it has a clean, stable feel on the lane. It is not as jumpy and angular as the Altered so it will be very useful. I have thrown it on house, longer sport, and shorter sport patterns and it has looked great on each. I feel like I can tumble it on the fresh and then get around it a bit more and just chase it left without the ball getting too far forward as the lane transitions. I think this is easily a ball to slot under the Reality and Gems for that step-down shiny asymmetrical ball.

    900 Global Eternity Coverstock: S84 Response Pearl Reactive Box Finish: Reacta Gloss Core: Epoch Asymmetric Core RG: 2.49, Diff: 0.050, PSA: 0.014 (15 lbs) VLS Layout: 4 3/4 x 4 x 3 1/2 Dual Angle Layout: 50 x 4 3/4 x 55 PAP: 5 3/16” right x 5/8” up Rev rate: 400 rpm Average speed: 16.5 mph Location: Prairie Lanes, Sun Prairie, WI Pattern: Medium volume THS The Eternity is 900 Global’s new big asymmetric ball in the 900 series line. It features the S84 Response pearl reactive cover that comes with the Reacta Gloss finish, which is the same coverstock formula from the Altered Reality. The core is the new Epoch core that is derived from the original Break core and is supposed to help keep the ball from losing too much energy and maintain a sharp backend reaction. As I often do with balls that have a shiny finish from the factory, I scuffed the surface with an old 2000-grit Abralon pad just to crack the cover a bit. The Eternity has proven to be an excellent ball that I can throw on all but the oiliest or driest conditions. I’ve found the Eternity to be clean and very readable in the midlane, and that it stores enough energy to be sharp but not too jumpy off the end of the pattern. It’s a perfect step down from the Reality when you need something cleaner and quicker downlane, but is a much stronger pearl than a ball like the Wolverine Dark Moss. Overall, the Eternity offers a strong, readable reaction that I can use for the entire night in league even as the lanes go through transition. The folks over at 900 Global have done an outstanding job with designing this ball. If you’re looking for the closest thing to replace an Altered Reality – look no further than the Eternity!

    The Eternity is the perfect transition ball for my arsenal. It provides a clean angular motion and compliments the stronger smoother balls when the lanes begin to open up. The Eternity clears the fronts very well and sees great mid lane read with tons of continuation. The Eternity against the Altered Reality is cleaner with more angle. When the Altered starts to burn up/lock up transitioning to a ball like the Eternity will be an excellent option to go to.

The 900 Global Eternity is just that, a must have in the bag. The S84 Response Pearl cover in a genius. Where the Alerted Reality might fail and get too forward the Eternity rights itself and continues right through the pins. Monster of a ball on the backend. For me it's a Zen on steroids. Clean through the fronts with its pearl cover, enough midlane to not squirt on volume and a powerful but readable backend reaction. That's what impressed me the most. It's not crazy violent but by no means does it quit. For me Reacta Gloss finish is perfect. The pearl cover along with the box finish allows me and my slower speed to square up on heavier patterns as well as moving in and playing deeper lines when the pattern transitions. Extremely versatile ball overall. To compare its 5-6 boards stronger than my Zen, 3-4 more than my Zen Soul. The Soul touch earlier and smoother. Most impressive is the performance from this AYSM pearl. It knows how to strike. Joe Arvai 900 Global Pro Shop Staff #GoGlobal

    The overall strength of the Eternity took me by surprise. This is a ball that, despite having a shiny finish, absolutely needs oil in the front part of the lane to be successful. With that being said, the first game and set I shot with this ball was 300 and 815, so I very much love the reaction of this ball when my house shot is fresh. It has a lot of midlane roll, but still continues all the way through the pin deck in a very impressive manner. For my house shot, this is the strongest ball in my bag currently, and I follow it up with the Zen and Revenant.

    Cover: S84 Response Pearl Reactive Core: Epoch Asymmetric Core RG: 2.49 RG . Diff. 0.050 Finish: Reacta Gloss 900 Global’s new Eternity is an Asymmetrical Pearl piece that is good for Medium-Heavy oil conditions. PAP is 5 5/16 R 1 3/16 Up. Rev Rate: 400. Speed: 16.5. Drilled this piece with the Pin up between the fingers and CG kicked out 1” from the palm and the Mass Bias 1” to the Right of the Thumb. Out of Box ball motion is clean through the fronts with a smooth motion on the backend. I took a 2k and 3k Abralon afterwards and it was still clean through the fronts with a stronger continuous backend motion. I compared this to 3 Pieces. Reality Check (Hybrid) was stronger by 2-3 boards. Reality (Solid) was 1-1 Right with a smooth controllable motion. Zen (Pearl) was 4-4 Right but started a few feet earlier in the mids with continuous backend motion. This is an Asymmetrical Zen. This is a good step down piece after the Reality Check. This is a ball for every type of bowler. Check Out the Ball motion Video on my YouTube Page: www.youtube.com/channel/UCI1YD-54pwPGHG4MGrYQjFw

The Eternity is right in between an Altered Reality and a Volatility Torque, which both had the same cover (S84R Pearl). The Eternity has the same core numbers (but different core) as the Volatility Torque, which means it has a lower intermediate differential than the Altered Reality. The Altered got a little too forward for me at times and the lower mid diff in the Eternity helps keep the ball a little rounder and little more continuous. The Eternity is definitely a strong ball but the pearl part of the cover lets it get down the lane a touch. The ‘medium’ strength asym core stays smooth and continuous. The Eternity is a great new piece from 900 Global!

And with the winning combination of the all-new Epoch Core and the proven S84 Response Pearl Coverstock, the Eternity is undoubtedly the start of another legendary series in the 900 Global lines of bowling balls. So, let’s take a closer look at the Eternity and what makes it a must-have to your arsenal! Let’s first look at the brilliant asymmetric design of the Epoch Core. As an older and straighter player, my game thrives on a hefty and more beefy core like the Epoch Asymmetric. So, early on, I liked how the Epoch core set its path of destruction at my release. The Epoch core builds an incredible amount of torque as it rev’s briskly in the midsection. And as I watched the Eternity make its turn off the pattern, the Epoch core turned that torque into unrelenting raw power! In addition, I liked how the Epoch core was decisive in its motion off the exit and rolled with an unrelenting continuation through the pins destroying everything in its path. If you are a down-and-in player or a low-rev player with less “hand,” you will enjoy the comfort the Epoch Core delivers. It will keep you in your shot, especially when you need extra help because you know you fell off your shot. The S84 Response Pearl was a great choice by 900 Global to put on the Eternity. I like the smoothness and the crispness the S84 Pearl provides going down the lane. And because of its flexibility to surface adjustments, I quickly found the right traction that made my Eternity explosive! First, I took my Eternity to 1500-grit Abralon, followed by Storm Step 2 (320-1500 grit compound). And the S84 Pearl performed excellently throughout a night of league play. Again, I found the S84, cleared the heads smoothly, and established excellent traction early on fresh oil in the mid-lane. And I really liked how the S84 response Pearl was smooth yet crisp of the pattern all night. And lastly, I liked how the S84 Pearl didn’t become erratic or “jumpy” as the night went on, allowing me to enjoy a smooth, continuous, and predictable motion all night long. In conclusion, 900 Global has done an outstanding job with the Eternity. The Eternity is a strong and controllable powerhouse that will deliver results for any straighter, low-rev player like me. And if you liked the Reality line, you are going to love the Eternity! So, stop in your local Storm VIP Pro Shop today and have the Eternity ready for tonight’s league. Success is waiting!

    Coverstock: S84 Response Pearl Reactive with Reacta Gloss Core: EPOCH Asymmetric Review: If you are still looking for a replacement for your Altered Reality look no further than the Eternity. This ball is as close as you will get to the Altered. This ball is very clean through the fronts but strong off the spot. When comparing this ball to others in my bag I kept coming back to the fact that this ball has a very similar ball motion to the Zen. Which having an asymmetric version of the Zen is great to have. I tend to pull this ball out of my bag early during leagues and when the lanes start to breakdown during tournaments. I did mess with the surface a little. Which I knocked the reacta gloss off I got a very smooth rolling ball, similar to when I did it to my Zen. I decided to keep the reacta gloss on the ball to help it clear the fronts and get the reaction down lane. I suggest picking up one of these balls sooner rather than later.

    900 Global Eternity Cover: S84 Response™ Pearl Reactive Core: Epoch™ (Asymmetrical) Color: Neon Purple/Black/Silver Review: Finally, a suitable spec replacement to the Altered Reality which got taken from us way too soon! For those of you who were fortunate enough to throw the Altered Reality, you will expect much of the same with this core and cover combination. We drilled this ball with our normal layout: tweener, 350-375 revs, 16.5mph, layout of choice is 4x4x2 (pin is above bridge). For us the Eternity fits right in between our Exotic Gem and out Absolute. The Exotic Gem is a touch earlier and a little more overall. The Eternity is ever so slightly sooner than the absolute and just a tad more overall. We tried some different cover combinations to see how this ball would react without the reacta gloss and we were very surprised. Taking off the shine really opened up the lane for us, almost infinitely. If you like to move left this ball will work for you too. With its versatility we see this ball being in many bags, league bowlers and tournament players too!

    This was the ball that I had the most anticipation about. The core was something that came from a ball that I LOVED a few years back in the Black Ops with the cover of the Altered Reality. My anticipation was for good reason as this ball does not disappoint. Out of the box for me, it’s pretty clean in the fronts, It reads the mids well, then it makes this motion down lane which is strong but not bouncy off the dry. This ball takes surface very well and when I hit this ball with a 1500 pad It really brought the break point closer to me but it didn’t seem to lose that strong down lane motion. I wanted it to be a little earlier but 1500 was a little too much, so I added Step 2 to the surface and it was MONEY I actually drilled a second Eternity pin down and out of the box it was way too clean. When I hit this one with the 1500 pad it was perfect. Cleaner in the fronts, cleaner in the mids and very controllable down lane!

Compared to the Altered Reality, this one is a little bit cleaner and controllable but compared to the Absolute, it is weaker front to back. It is the perfect ball for when the lanes are on fire!

    Laying my Eternity out 50 x 6 x 30, I was looking for a tall pin that was going to be continuous down lane and float through the mid lane. I was able to accomplish just that. This ball has become a staple of my bag since release and gives me the motion I wanted from the Altered Reality but without locking up. For reference, bowling in bowl sport compliant and house leagues, this ball gets a lot of playing time. The 9-ball arsenal I carry around consists of a Reality, Eternity, X-2, Iq Tour, Zen, 2-Inch Pin C4, Phaze 5, Hustle Wine, Zen U. Some other pieces will sprinkle in depending on pattern, but keep it rather consistent to that. Whether on long, medium, or short I have found a way to incorporate this ball, and the way it rolls, into many different situations. It has been great on the fresh with a little surface, but also due to the nature of the Epoch Core it has been good on the urethane carry down when bowling on short as well. This is the well rounded, timeless, big asymmetric pearl I have been missing in my bag for some time from 900 Global. When taking it out of box, I immediately hit it with a wet 4000 just enough to break the shine and give me the out of box reaction I strive for. While the OOB finish may be what some need, I do this with all shiny finishes straight out of the box to help garner the ball reaction I look for with a 18+ ball speed and 450+ rev rate. If you are looking for that versatile big pearl ball motion, that will float the fronts, and hammer the corner down lane... You should look no further!

    The 900 Global Eternity is the much anticipated sequel to the previously released Altered Reality. It shares the same S84 pearl cover but a different core in the Epoch asymmetric core. I drilled mine 5x4x2, I am a low track player, 480RPM, 14 degrees of tilt, 55 degrees of axis rotation, average of 16.4MPH. What I see is a much more rounded shape than I got from the Altered Reality. The Altered forced me pretty far left from the get go, and would sometimes see friction so quickly that it would lock up and go forward. The Eternity allows me to play a little further right and dictate a little more of the shape with my hand which is something I like to see. In my initial test on our THS, I was able to start in the track area and continue striking all the way into 6th arrow. Versatility is a definite plus with the Eternity. I did change the surface from box finish to my usual 500/1000/Step 2 to more closely mimic the old 1500 polish box finish that was used on previous polished releases. In sum I would say that this does make for a good replacement to the Altered Reality, just know in advance that you are going to see a slightly different shape.

It features the new Epoch core that was inspired by the Break core from the past. This ball also features the same cover that was found in the Altered Reality but with purple instead of red. With the Epoch core the intermediate diff was lowered, that way the core could retain more energy through the pins and be stronger than the disturbance core that is in the Reality line. What I found from this ball is that it was a little stronger than Altered Reality and still gave me that clean and responsive motion like the Altered. This is going to be a great step down from the Reality but going to be a step up from the Zen.

    The new 900 Global Eternity features the all new designed Epoch Asymmetric core and wraps it in the S84 Response Pearl coverstock finished with Reacta Gloss. The 15 pound Eternity features a RG of 2.49 with a differential of .050 and an intermediate diff of .014. I drilled my Eternity the same as my Reality Check which was 5 x 4 x 4, this put the pin under my middle finger. The Eternity for me, goes about 2 feet longer than my Reality Check. It has a more defined backend motion and better continuation through the pins. The Eternity is a great compliment to the Reality Check. The Check can be the first ball out of the bag, but when it starts to read a little to early or loses its punch through the pins, I can pull out the Eternity, stand in basically the same place as I left off with the Reality Check and get right back to striking. The Eternity will allow me to keep chasing the oil left but will allow me to open my launch angle much more than I could with the Reality Check.

    Layout: 4.5 x 4.25 x 4.5 (60 x 4.5 x 70) Surface: Reacta Gloss The new 900 Global Eternity is essentially the replacement for the discontinued Altered Reality as it has the same s84 Response Pearl Coverstock. The main difference is the core which is the brand new Epoch Core. This core was designed off the Break Core to be more continuous due its decreased intermediate differential. I was able to test this ball on my typical 44ft house pattern as well as a 41ft bear sport pattern. On the house pattern, I saw a long and continuous angular motion. The motion to me was not very sharp but had a strong continuous motion in the back part of the lane. This actually gave the ball more versatility for me as it gave me the ability to play more up the lane on the fresh while still allowing me to move further left with my feet as the lanes broke down. The reacta gloss finish gave me a lot of additional length for my style which was not as beneficial due to my higher ball speed. A surface adjustment for me to 3000 grit abralon gave me a more predictable motion. Compared to an Altered Reality drilled and surfaced the same, I saw a 3 board weaker overall motion. For most styles, the out of box surface of the Eternity would be best as the second ball out of the bag compared to a solid Reality or Zen Master. On the 41ft bear pattern, I saw a lot of the same characteristics as the house pattern. Very clean through the front with a strong motion in the backend. The shiny finish again gave me slight over/under reaction. The duller surface of the 3000 abralon gave me a more consistent motion designed for the heavier oil volume. The best use for the Eternity, would be as a first transition ball and for medium and medium heavy oil volume.

    Core: Epoch Asymmetric Covers: S84 Response Pearl Finish: Reacta Gloss RG: 2.51 (14lb) Differential: 0.044 (14 lb) ME: Right-Handed Tweener Speed: 12-13 mph Rev Rate: 315 Axis Tilt: 14° Axis Rotation: 74° PAP: 5 1/8 R 7/8 Up Ball Layout: Pin over Ring 4 1/2 X 4 1/2 X 2 VLS 900 Global's 900 series releases have been gaining in popularity in recent years, particularly among the best bowlers. The Reality series gives you powerful options in multiple shapes to tackle the toughest lane conditions. The newest 900 series release brings back the super popular S84 Response Pearl that was featured on the Altered Reality. The Altered built an amazing reputation for clean, sharp motion and bringing that shape back to the line was a must. Global added an new core called Epoch to the cover to create the Eternity. The Epoch core makes an improvement on the design by refiguring the idea behind the original break cores to help the ball store energy even better. The resulting team-up gives you an abundance of clean, sharp readable motion. I tested the Eternity in league. I threw it a couple times in practice just to get an idea of how it looked on the fresh pattern. I was plenty strong, but is so clean and reactive that our high volume, long house pattern made it look a bit over/under trying to play the track. I put it away to try it game 3 which is where I had hoped to find a use for it. The fronts break down alot because of friction in the surface up front but the high volume they use to combat that early causes the lanes to stay pretty tight down-lane. This can give you the nightmare scenario late where you have to fight the ball through the front and when you do, it doesn't want to recover down-lane. It takes away a lot of area that should be there on a pattern this high ratio, and really favors guys with the higher ball speed and lower revs who can stay right all night. The Eternity became the great equalizer for me as the cover is clean enough to clear the fronts but the core gives you so much sharp down-lane motion that it has no problem reading the spot and recovering from getting right down-lane. Another characteristic that it shares with the Altered is the ability to create a great amount of angle in a small window down-lane which gives you a lot of area to not just get to the pocket but also carry. I would recommend the Eternity for anyone who wants/needs to see a lot of motion down-lane. If you bowl anything with a remotely longer format this ball is going to be a great addition to your bag. Being able to overpower the backends without fearing the friction up front is essential.

    900 Global Eternity by Roto Grip Rick Mitchell My specs: Ball speed 15+, Rev rate 425, PAP 4 and up 13/16 Layout: 60 x 1 ½ x 65 and box finish with Reacta Gloss, used on SPL and HPL lane surfaces with Typical house pattern. Coverstock – S84 Response Pearl Reactive with all new Epoch – box finish is Storm Reacta Gloss. The Epoch Asymmetric Core is an ALL-NEW design that was inspired from the original Break Core that was used in any other 900 Global balls in the past. By changing and lowering the intermediate diff, it prevents the ball from locking or losing too much energy too soon and allowing a sharp backend recovery. The cover allows the ball to stay clean front to back of the pattern and you don’t have to get aggressive with drilling angles. The cover and core combo makes most patterns readable and allow you to stay in the ball longer during the course of league and tournament play. On stronger cores I started to use shorter pin 2 pap drillings because of my recent changes in fit, I don’t need strong drillings to make the ball aggressive. I found the Eternity to be very close to the Altered Reality from last year, just a tuned down version of it. During league the Eternity roll up to the pocket with a good bit of speed and angle and stayed consistent throughout the night and then later during some much-needed practice sessions. I feel it had a little stronger pin to pap drilling, it would be to over / under for me. The Reacta Gloss has held up very well over the course of the past several weeks on using the Eternity. The Matchmaker balls have been very versatile for all levels of bowlers and lane conditions. Even after 2 hours of lane play at Matchmakers, the Eternity still reacted very well and kept striking even on the burned-up lanes. The Reacta Gloss is holding up very well on the demo balls where the prior surface prep would have been used up. Don’t shy away from adding the 900 Global Eternity to your bowling arsenal for the upcoming local, state, and national tournaments. This ball is very versatile and well worth the investment.

  • 900 Global Eternity review

    Posted by Mike Craig-SPI Amateur Staff on Mar 31st 2023

    I drilled my ETERNITY 5 x 2 x 3. I have thrown it at box and then lightly hit it with a 2000 pad. While watching the other staffers in my area and on You Tube, it appeared to my eyes that this might be a really rolly/arcing type of ball. That is what I am seeing also. I compared it to ZEN and ZEN MASTER since those are the only two 900 Global balls I have right now. Compared to the ZEN, the ETERNITY was a little slower but rollier down lane. ZEN was more recovery. ZEN MASTER was earlier since it is a solid but it was also very rolly and looked like these two can play off each other for staging ball motions. Drill up a ETERNITY if you want a arcing type reaction when you have too much friction right and need smooth motion that doesn't over react off the dry.
