The 900 Global Sublime, with the new 802 Reserve Blend hybrid coverstock and my 4.5 x 3 x 2.5 layout gives me a STRONG motion front to back on fresh THS. My RPM is about 470 and my speed averages around 16.4 MPH, and I have yet to find a situation where I am able to have closed angles with this ball. I can pretty much go as far left, and open my angles as wide as my imagination will allow me to, and I'm still in the pocket. It's truly one of the strongest pearls I've ever thrown. For me, it is stronger than the original Zen by about two arrows. It's just not in the same ballpark strength-wise. I see this ball being ideal for speed-dominant players who need something that will pick up, or anyone else who needs a little help from the core/cover, OR people who like to see lots of shape throughout the entire lane. I also compared this to the Zen Gold Label, and the Gold Label was cleaner than both the Sublime and the Zen, by a total of about 14-15 boards at the arrows. If you are looking for a pearl with a VERY large footprint, the Sublime is going to be your go-to.

Finish: Reacta Gloss Polish RG: 2.47 Differential: 0.056 Ball Layout: Pin Up 5 1/2 X 4 1/2 X 3 VLS The New Sublime from 900 Global is a powerhouse! The Immersed Symmetric core is the first Global ball to utilize Storm's A.I. Core technology. This powerful fast revving core is paired with a Polished Hybrid cover called Reserve Blend 802. The resulting combo creates alot of hook. I tested the Sublime on my local house pattern and the first thing that I noticed was how much this ball saw the mid-lane. I was very surprised to see a polished ball see the fronts so much. I had thrown Urethane to start the night and the backends had tightened up, so I thought I'd try the Sublime to get it off the back-end a little harder. I immediately had to take a big step left. The sublime will overpower a tight lane like no other polished ball on the market. In subsequent weeks I've had a bit more trouble getting to use it in league play. Our center has a lot of early friction and I haven't encountered the lanes being as tight as that first week. The fronts tend to burn pretty fast so the early motion of the Sublime on this condition as taken it a bit out of play for me with my lower ball speed. However for players with more ball speed and less hand I think this ball is going to be very useful. I don't feel they will have to wait to get into this ball despite it's polished finish and that they will be able to stay with it long through the night.

I rate this bowling ball a 5 out of 5 for overall performance! The blended batch N° 802 coverstock allows me to play multiple angles on the lanes and see continous motion through the pin deck. The 900 Global Zen would sometimes quit on me if it picked up oil down lane but not with the Sublime! I've already shot three honor scores in one week with this ball. Absolute love it!

All I need to say is my choice for 2023 Ball of the Year. There are times when you can tell a ball is special, which is the case with the Sublime. The Sublime seems to have the perfect combination of length and backend motion. The carry has been fantastic during league with this ball. The sales in the pro shop for the Sublime have been good to start. There are a lot of Roto Grip Hyper Cell Skid vibes from the color combo. I also get a little Marvel Pearl motion vibes.

When this ball was announced I was surprised. I thought we already had too many balls in this spot on the bag already. Well, after drilling this one and throwing it, I was mistaken! Super versatile, it takes well to surface changes, and more importantly the A.I. core technology gives it the slight edge. I drilled mine with a 5x4x3 2LS which I’ve been using it a lot lately. Typically I like the benchmark shape on all hybrids. Highly recommend this one!

Drilling pattern: 5 x 2.75 Pin position: Above middle finger PAP: 4.5 over and 1 up. Pattern: Modified low volume house pattern. I got my first extended look at the SUBLIME this weekend at our local association Masters tournament. It was a 5-game qualifier on a low volume modified house pattern. I used the SUBLIME all 5 games and got to +150 which was just short of cashing (scores were VERY HIGH). However, speaking of ball reaction, I could not have been happier. Kept this ball at box finish (Reacta Gloss) and it did a great job of pushing through the puddle in the middle of the lane and making a strong, controlled move off the dry. This ball has continuation unlike anything I’ve seen in a long time. The pin action was outstanding to see with some of my only leaves being a couple solid 9’s, upper deck 7’s, and wrap 10’s. I put this drilling pattern on due to the lower RG of this ball as I wanted to insure I could get the ball down lane and it performed as expected. My only recommendation would be to make sure there is some dry to throw the ball too. The coverstock isn’t quite strong enough, in my opinion, to be able to play on massive amounts of oil. I had a couple shots that I badly pulled into the oil and it struggled to make it up the hill. Any shot that I projected correctly to the dry, the ball was outstanding.

900 Global Sublime Cover: Reserve Blend 802™ Hybrid Reactive Core: Immersed™ A.I. (Symmetrical) Color: Neon Purple/Amber/Black Review: Benchmark ball alert! The sublime features the all new A.I. core with a predictable ball motion that falls under the likes of the Hy-Road and Phaze lines. We really hope you don’t sleep on this release. We drilled this ball with our normal layout: tweener, 350-375 revs, 16.5mph, layout of choice is 4x4x2 (pin is above bridge). We have been patiently waiting for a symmetrical hybrid to come out of the lineup to ball down from our Summit (also featuring A.I. core). We are loving this new core technology and can attest to those lighter or off hits carrying better. Whether its your first, second, third, or sixth ball in the bag, the predictability and consistency of this piece is what everyone hopes for. The Sublime is very versatile. It could be that first out of the bag or a ball down from a higher sym or asym piece. For us it would be an immediate ball down from the Summit but for many it could be a ball down from an asym piece such as a Magic Gem, Absolute, or Clone.

Ball Specs: Global Sublime 802 Hybrid Reactive Cover Reacta Gloss Polished Immersed A.I. Core (Symmetric) Layout 4.5 x 4.5 with 2” Pin Buffer Bowler Specs: Right Hand. PAP 5” Over 1/2 up Rev Rate 300. Tilt 20. Rotation 50. Speed at release 17 Review: The new Global Sublime is a good looking ball with a new groundbreaking A.I. designed Immersed core. The fusion of the hybrid cover materials really provided more hook than I expected. This ball was much stronger and read the lane harder than my TNT Infused. I would say it is close to my Exotic in total hook and stronger than most of my polished balls. I feel this is due to how the ball reads early for me but still rolls strong throughout the lane. I did not see the angular motion I thought I would but I was very happy with how the ball finished and carried the light hits. By the end of my day testing the Sublime I was able to move deeper than I normally would with most other polished balls. I was still able to get the Sublime back to the pocket as long as I found the friction. I rolled my Xponent for comparison and on this condition the Xponent at box finish was much smoother and hooked a bit less than the Sublime. I look forward to learning what this ball will do and think I may be using this one a lot. Summary: The Sublime is much stronger than expected for a glossy ball. This ball sees the friction and does not quit. The Sublime carries light hits as good as anything I have.

The Sublime is 900 Globals newest 800 series ball. It features the brand new immersed symmetric core wrapped in AI tech paired with the reserve 802 hybrid cover. The AI tech in the filler material helps preserve the core specs across drilling and different weights. The 802 hybrid cover takes the best of both worlds and provides plenty of traction with just the right amount of length. It reminds me a lot of a juiced up Axiom pearl which was one of my all time favorite cleaner symmetrical pieces. Review Video: https://youtu.be/bNHZ5PxYWeU?si=5w-JW8M4ZGcoF2QC

The all new 900 Global Sublime is money! This ball is quickly becoming one of my favorites. The sublime features the Reserve Blend 802 Hybrid Cover, finished with Reacta Gloss wrapped around the all new Immersed Symmetric A.I. Core. This ball is very special, I feel that the Sublime encompasses all of the best parts of Zen and adds to it! This ball has a similar shape, but it digs in and corners a little more down lane. I think that those that like the Zen can definitely stick with it, but if you liked the Zen, but you wanted a little more then look no further than the Sublime. The Sublime has already created a ton of buzz across the country and I have no doubt that it will continue its success! Personally I have bowled two sets with this ball and I am averaging 261 (772-794). The sublime will be in my bag for a long time, you need to go out and get yours today! #Sublimeballgood Layout: 35 x 5 x 40

The AI core in the Summit was the talk of the town over the summer and new it is introduced in all new 900 Global Sublime. Wrapped around the new 802 hybrid cover and the Immersed Symmetric AI core has numbers of 2.47 and 0.056. I drilled mine 5 x 2 and after throwing it for awhile I was quite impressed that it reminds me of a cleaner Phaze 2 type shape. It doesn’t really overreact in the dry and still has enough for misses in the oil to carry the corners. Strokers will love the way this ball goes through the pins with the AI core technology and crankers will love the versatility of this ball. I can see myself using it on the fresh on higher friction surfaces and in transition once the lanes start to breakdown.

And leave it to 900 Global to take the groundbreaking A.I. Core technology and combine it with a brilliant Hybrid fusion of their best-performing solid and pearl coverstocks to create another 900 Global success with the Sublime. So, let’s take a closer look at what makes the all-new Sublime a fantastic new release The Immersed Symmetric A.I. Core brings a new dimension into ball motion. And to give a simple explanation of A.I. Core technology. It would be to say a wider surface of the ball rolls on the lane, and the more “roll” a core can generate, the greater the destruction it can do through the pins. So, with the Immersed Symmetric A.I. Core found in the Sublime, the barbell shape brings a smooth, hard-rolling motion that straighter players like me enjoy with an added bonus. The Immersed Symmetric A.I. Core creates an intense amount of “English” from its angular motion as it hits the pocket. And like a cue ball to an 8-ball rack, it creates a swirling motion that makes the pins dance around the pin-deck. So, straighter players like me will see more pin action, messengers, and a more significant amount of pin carry. And that is precisely what I saw with the Sublime! So, if you are a straighter player, the Immersed Symmetric A.I. Core will be a strong new advantage to add to your game. I am a huge proponent of Hybrid Coverstocks for many THS bowlers. And the Reserve Blend 802 Hybrid Coverstock delivers the results THS bowlers can depend on. I started by sanding my Sublime with a 2000-grit Abralon pad, and my Sublime was right spot on all night. The 802 Hybrid creates a smooth and predictable roll I like to see, whether on fresh oil or worn conditions. And I liked how the 802 Hybrid stayed consistent throughout the night. And that consistency makes the 802 Hybrid an excellent choice for any straighter, low-rev player like me on multiple types of conditions. My only caveat to the Reserve Blend 802 Hybrid Coverstock is adjusting the surface to fit your game. The 802 Hybrid will thrive with multiple surface adjustments from many different types of bowlers, so don’t be afraid to experiment with what works best for you! Because The Reserve Blend 802 Hybrid was made to work with you as the bowler. In conclusion, 900 Global has again created another winner with the Sublime. The Sublime is a well-crafted, all-around symmetric masterpiece that will fit well in just about any THS bowler’s arsenal. And if you are a straighter, low-rev player like me, you can count on the Sublime to give you the added edge you need to bring your season scores to a higher level!

Layout: 4.5 x 4 x 2.5 VLS The Sublime is the first 900 Global ball to feature the groundbreaking A.I. (Amplified Inertia) Core technology that first appeared in the Storm Summit. The overstock is a fusion of the S84 on the Reality and S70 from the Wolverine, creating the 802 Reserve Blend. The result is a cleaner and more angular ball that is comfortable playing straighter angles or moving left and opening the lane up. On our typical house shot, I found the Sublime to be very forgiving on balls that were pushed a little right or pulled a little left. From what I saw on the Summit and now on the Sublime, I truly believe that the A.I. Core technology really does help the ball carry off-hits better. My Specs - Speed - 16 mph, Rev Rate - 315. PAP 5 1/8 x 7/8 Up.

The Sublime is the newest release is the 900 Global line. It features the 802 Hybrid cover and the AI core technology that was on the Summit. The Sublime was clean through the heads but with plenty of pop down lane. It is still quick off the friction and rounder/continuous motion. I did compare it to the Tnt Infused and have the Infused a tiny bit earlier and more forward off the friction. The Sublime just seemed a touch cleaner, still quick off the friction, but a rounder shape. I have the Infused and Sublime in the same strength zone. Compared to the Zen Gold Label, the Sublime reads the midlane earlier and is not as sharp off the spot. The ZGL is very clean but when it sees the friction if goes left, the hockey stick motion. For me, the shelf appeal might not be the best, but I believe once people start to throw it, they will like it. Another powerful addition to the 900 Global family!! Tobias Myers #GoGobal #StrikingWorldWide

Sublime is the introduction of the 802 coverstock formula, and this ball falls in line with the Zen as far as hook potential. However, the cover of the Sublime is quite a bit stronger, and the core seems to rev up noticeably sooner than that of the Zen. Sublime features A.I. core technology, which for me creates a unique shape characterized by a strong, early revving look in the midlane and a relentlessly continous backend motion that is really smooth but also never stops driving. It's almost paradoxical for the core to engage so early and rev up so strongly, while still storing energy and not deflecting. The only thing this ball is not ideal for is excessive friction in the front part of the lane. When i need a big, cleaner cover symmetrical, the Zen has been my go-to because the core is uniquely early for a pearl symmetrical. The Sublime takes this idea one step further my applying technology resulting in an even more aggressive core, and a healthy step up in terms of coverstock strength as well. This is one of those smooth-but-clean-enough house shot killer-type balls that you do NOT want to miss out on!

The latest release from 900 Global is a hybrid designed for medium to heavier oil conditions. I found the Sublime to be more user friendly when there was higher volumes of oil in the front part of the lane. If the lanes were a little too dry the Sublime was too responsive and it was difficult for the ball to slow down in the right part of the lane. When there was oil the ball had plenty of margin and continuation through the pins. The sublime could be used on the fresh on those higher oil conditions or a step down off the bigger asym or symmetrical balls.

Layout: 45 x 5 x 35 Surface: Reacta Gloss The brand new 900 Global Sublime brings the new Immersed AI Core with the new 802 Reserve Hybrid Coverstock. The AI technology was originally found in the Storm Summit and is the first 900 Global ball to feature the technology. The technology reduces the RG and raises the Differential for ultimate performance in the symmetrical core space. Found in the 800 series line, the Sublime offers early roll and higher response to friction then seen in the Zen line. I was able to test the Sublime on a 44ft Typical House Pattern with medium volume. What I found was strong midlane hook and a pretty angular backend. It was actually great how much backend that the Sublime produced. Compared to the original Zen, it gives very similar midlane hook but more of an angular backend. The Zen to me had a more continuous shape and the Sublime has a more angular shape. These two balls can definitely be in the same bag for this reason. A strong drilling on the Sublime can make it more usable on the fresh so it can go more forward in the backend. More surface on the coverstock can also have similar effects. The Sublime after first use would be a great first transition ball to me after I use a more solid coverstock such as the Eternity PI or Xponent. This ball will definitely be great on a typical house pattern but is strong enough to handle higher oil volumes on sport/pba patterns. I can easily see this ball as a replacement for the Zen Soul on medium to higher amounts of oil as it is stronger and more responsive in comparison. Adam Chase Storm Staff

(Amplified Inertia) Core in the line. Also, this ball is two-part pearl and one-part solid in the coverstock. This blend is S70 from the Wolverine Dark Moss and the S84 Response found on the Reality. Right away this ball reminds me of one of my all time favorite angular pieces the 900 Global Respect. I believe the Sublime may even surpass the Respect. OOB on THS I rolled a 279 game simply messing around. I'll be honest I'm not one to say A.I. technology is the next jump in tech, but rolling it myself I see the off hits do seem to carry more. Also, working recent MatchMaker events it appears SPI is onto something very big. The off hits definitely mix the pins and A.I. technology might make the difference in making that cash line in tournaments you roll. Initial thoughts on the Sublime is this ball can be a first symetric piece out of your bag. Be sure to try it as is with the Reacta Gloss finish before scuffing it up. I have not decided yet if I'm going to continue to test as is or give it a once over with a 3K or 2K Abralon pad. However, I'm very impressed with this ball from 900 Global and I am excited to see where this one is going. Be sure to grab your 900 Global Sublime today. I have a feeling this one may be a staple in the arsenal. Michael Slatky 900 Global Staff Member York, PA

MY SPECS: PAP: 4 7/8 R 7/8 UP REV: 350 MPH: 15 @PINS LAYOUT: 5 1/4 x 5 1/2 x 1 1/2 VLS Test Pattern: 42' THS League The 900 Global Sublime bowling ball has taken the bowling world by Storm, offering a groundbreaking fusion of angular power and cutting-edge A.I. technology. One of the standout features of the 900 Global Sublime is the new Immersed A.I. core and the 802 Blend Hybrid cover resulting in a truly exceptional bowling experience. The ball seamlessly integrates a high-performance core with an innovative coverstock, creating a harmonious fusion that delivers outstanding results on the lanes. One part solid from the Reality and 2 parts pearl from the Dark Moss, this cover combo is evident in the ball's ability to generate angularity with unmatched precision. The Sublime is nothing short of impressive as well as great shelf appeal. I drilled 2, Pin up and down and compared both to my TNT Infused and Summit. Similar motions with the Summit being sooner and the TNT being later. Sublime is at box condition while the Summit is 3000 polished and the TNT 4000 no polish. Light pocket shots gave me that Summit carry due to the A.I. core and the angular flush hits like my TNT Infused. The pin down layout just give me an earlier read and more suitable for oiler mid-lanes. The ball's ability to create a pronounced angle of entry into the pocket enhances pin action, increasing the likelihood of striking with authority. This ball pushes the boundaries of what bowlers can expect, introducing a new standard for angularity and overall pin action. It is a revolutionary leap forward in terms of both design and engineering in the 900 Global lineup Bowlers looking for a ball that combines cutting-edge technology with a dynamic and aggressive hook will find the Sublime to be a game-changer. in competition, making it a top choice for those seeking a truly sublime bowling experience.
