900 Global Sublime Focus Bowling Ball

The 900 Global Sublime Focus features the Immersed symmetric AI core and wraps it in the Reserve Blend 804 solid coverstock finished at 2000 grit abralon. At 15 pounds the RG is a low 2.47 with a differential of .056. I drilled my Sublime Focus at 4 x 4 x 2 which puts the pin above the middle finger. This ball flat out hooks with its out of the box finish. The more I throw this ball the better and better it gets. The lane shine really helps this ball get down the lane a little bit and store a little more energy. Don’t let the shine fool you though, this ball still needs a good amount of oil to be effective. My second night using the Sublime Focus, I shot 300 the second game playing around 4th arrow sending it out to about 7 or 8 and having it come back. The AI core provided the strength to just kick out the corners enough for me to finish of the 300 game. I was not able to finish the night with the ball, as the lane conditions just did not hold up long enough. If you bowl on a house shot with a good amount of oil, the Sublime Focus is for you.

The Sublime Focus is your classic strong solid symmetric ball, great for heaver oil conditions or a first ball out of your bag to smooth out the back end on a fresh oil pattern. The Sublime Focus is going to occupy the same spot in the bag as the Optimum Idol solid or the original Summit - your biggest symmetric ball in the bag. So far, I am impressed with the versatility of the Sublime Focus, even as I move left on the lane, the Focus is able to turn the corner and still go through the pins well enough to get the 10 out. If your center has enough volume or you bowl on some higher volume sport patterns, I could see the Sublime Focus being a staple in your bag.

The Sublime Focus by 900 Global has the Reserve Batch No. 804 Blend Solid Cover stock with the Immersed Symmetric A.I. Core, this ball is strong and continuous giving us an insane control on the lane. This ball has a little more down lane motion versus the Optimum Idol, sometimes the Idol reads to early when there isn’t a lot of volume on the lane that’s were the Sublime Focus comes in for me. The Sublime Focus is cleaner than my Idol, covers more boards and can be used more often for me than my Idol. This ball can also be in the same category as a Summit Ascent but the Ascent is much cleaner with more down lane motion than the Sublime Focus. Out of those 3 the Sublime Focus has become the dull symmetric ball I got to. Players looking to have a step down from a high end asymmetrical or looking for something that responds a little slower to the friction the Sublime Focus is the ball to go to.

The 900 Global Sublime Focus is the sequel to the original Sublime. The Focus features the Reserve Blend 804™ Solid Reactive cover, along with AI technology to form a truly strong piece. I went with a 5 3/4 x 4 x 2 layout to get me as much length as possible from the core to avoid burning up too early with this strong of a cover. What I got was a moderately early, strong, rolly ball that punches holes through the pins. It's unique to see a ball roll so hard in the midlane, then finish behind the 8 pin. Impressive actually. This is going to be best for speed matched or speed dominant players due to the strength of the core and cover. Definitely best for fresh oil conditions!

I drilled up my SUBLIME FOCUS with a standard layout of 65 x 4.5 x 30. This is my normal layout for symmetrical balls that I can get a good read on where it fits in my bag. So far, I have just thrown it at box surface of 2000 and maybe just for a couple of games. I did move down to 14 lbs and the 900 Global gear tends to stay very similar spec wise in 16-15-14 weights. My initial thoughts are this is a stronger piece that is slightly smoother on the back end of the lane. I would see this being good when there is medium to slightly longer length (41-44 ft) with decent volume but fresher back ends. This one can keep you out of trouble until the transition to something like a HARSH REALITY PEARL or ION MAX occurs when you have to start to give up the headpin more to the right.

About Me: Joel Donner SPI Pro Shop Staff Member Left-Handed: High Rev High Speed Player Layout: 5 X 5 X 2 Pap: - 47/8 +1 Rev Rate: +-500 Speed 17-18mph Ball Video: https://youtu.be/Q3L5pub9jzM The 900 Global Sublime Focus is very similar to the Eternity Pi, with the notable distinction of being slightly more responsive. I find that the Sublime Focus is a great option to use before the Eternity Pi, as it provides an earlier read on the lane while still delivering a strong backend reaction. When the Sublime Focus begins to check up too early, transitioning to the OG Sublime allows for consistent performance from the same part of the lane. I believe these two balls would create an effective 1-2 punch, making them ideal for the beginning of a tournament or for a two-ball league setup. I drilled my Focus with the pin up, while Chaise opted for a pin-down layout. Personally, I find Chaise's reaction to be slightly more favorable than mine. We both agree that a pin-down layout would be more beneficial for higher-speed, higher-rev players, while a pin placement just above the fingers could suit tweeners and lower-rev, lower-speed players effectively. For the lower speed and high rev bowlers I would combine the pin up drilling with a layout that would cut back the flare potential as well. I am excited to have this exceptional combination, which I believe will serve me well throughout the early to middle stages of tournament play, as well as in league competition.

Solid symmetricals are the lifeblood of the industry especially when it comes to more difficult patterns. Phaze 2, Optimum Idol, IQ Tour are some of the staples for any SPI bowler. Add the Sublime Focus to that. It’s a tiny bit cleaner than the Phaze 2 but stronger than the Optimum Idol. The Phaze 2 tends to get a little forward if you don’t have enough oil, but the Sublime Focus, with the AI core keeps the axis a little longer which means it continues better. The more the continuation the more usable the ball across a pattern. So if you need something stronger than an Optimum or more continuous than a Phaze 2, the Sublime Focus is the ball. Don’t sleep on this one. This will be a lot of people’s preference in that strong solid symmetrical spot!

Bowlers Info: RH tweener, PAP 4-5/8 x 3/4 up, 380 RPM, 13* of Axis tilt, 60* of Axis Rotation Ball Layout: 60 x 5-1/4 x 30 VLS: 5-1/4 x 4-1/2 x 2-1/4 Finish: OOB plus Polish The new 900 Global Sublime Focus builds upon the predictable shape and carry that we saw with the original Sublime. I put my weaker layout on this ball with a 5-1/4 pin up, 2-1/4” buffer but the ball was still pretty early for me. I decided to add polish to the Focus and now this ball shines!!!! The polish created a cleaner yet angular motion down lane that’s different from the rest of my arsenal, like a hyped-up Summit Ascent. Recommend to high-speed players or lower rev players who are looking for pieces with traction as this ball will read regardless of oil, no doubt.

900 Global Sublime Focus Cover: 2000 Grit Reserve Blend 804™ Solid Reactive Core: Immersed™ A.I. Core (Symmetrical) Color: Xanthic/Indigo/Black Review: 900 Global is really hitting the mark with their releases as of late and we are really excited for this solid version of the original sublime. We drilled this ball with our normal layout: tweener, 350-375 revs, 16.5mph, layout of choice is 4x4x2 (pin is above bridge). This is a GREAT benchmark solid and probably going to get looked over a little bit but man does this thing pack a punch and it is a great bang for your buck. If you need a step down from an asym solid such as the harsh reality or ion max this is the one. This ball really holds a lot of energy and continuation through the pins even for burning up so much energy so quickly. This core is simplistic yet beefy and we love it for that reason. 2000-3000 grit pads really change the design and shape for some of our tournament players and compliments this cover very well. We look forward to drilling several of these bowling balls.

900 Global Sublime Focus Coverstock: 804 Solid Coverstock Finish: 2000 Grit Abralon Core: Immersed Symmetric A.I. (14 pd) RG: 2.49 Differential: 0.050 Layout: 5 x 5 x 3 1/2 - 2LS Layout Extras: 2 1/8 Finger Depth, "X" - 4 1/2 D and 1 Inch Left Tester: PAP 6 1/2 R, 1 1/4 D Review: The 900 Global Sublime Focus features a crafted 804 cover design that falls between the S77 and S84 range that 900 Globalers are familiar with over the past few years. A good ball within the 900 line to compare the Sublime Focus to is the Zen Master. However, the Sublime Focus is a significant upgrade in terms of A.I. core technology and the continuation this offering provides as a symmetric piece. Moving forward a bit I see the Sublime Focus taking over that spot in my bag over the Storm Summit which has been very successful for me on longer sport patterns. My speed tends to be slower as well, so bigger balls burning up early can be the tendency in the arsenal. At first, I did not jump on grabbing a Sublime Focus. After working a few SPI MatchMakers it was clear to me this ball is special. The Sublime Focus is a nice compliment to your bigger asym balls as well. Once you attack a pattern with your 900 Global Harsh Reality or your Storm Ion Max the Sublime Focus is perfect to keep the pattern within your control. I believe you will find a great deal of range with this ball. In addition, you can still move in with your shot and continuation is not a problem at all with the Sublime Focus. For me, I did not do any surface adjustments. It was not needed and I'm satisfied with the OOB surface as is.

Sam Cooper. Roto Grip Amateur Staffer. The new 900 Global Sublime Focus features the 804 blend Solid cover with the Immersed AI core. In my opinion this ball is cleaner than the Roto Grip Optimum Idol but rolls earlier than a Storm Phase 2. I think it fits that gap perfectly. The ball reaction is not as smooth as the Optimum Idol but not as quick off the spot as the Phase 2. To me this would be a very good ball for tougher conditions with its reaction characteristics. The Focus does not seem to read the spot too early or do anything too much on the down lane. It does need some oil on the lanes to be utilized properly. The shelf appeal of this ball is nice as well. If you are looking for a strong option that gets down lane this would be a good option. I did drill the Focus with a weaker pin to pap distance of 5.5”(up). I wanted to see if it would be usable or versatile in different scenarios. One night in burn league we were on a tighter pair felt like there was a lot of oil down lane. I decided to try the focus and man was I impressed. Not only was I impressed how it reacted on a house shot. I was also impressed at how well it went through the pin deck. It did not seem to deflect much at all and drove into the 8 pin(as long as the operator threw it correctly that is). The strong yet smooth reaction gives this ball life in multiple situations. I tested the Focus on a 38 ft sport pattern, and you could see how much cleaner it was than an Optimum Idol read the spot well. For the house pattern I left it slightly lane shined and for the sport pattern I used a 2000 pad. This ball will help you remain Focused on the lanes for sure.

The Sublime Focus is a strong, consistent symmetrical ball that provides a control option that is earlier than the likes of the Phaze 2 or Optimum Idol. As a result, this ball slots in the top of the symmetrical solids in the SPI lineup. As an earlier, slower step up from the rest of the line, this ball is great for calming down sparking backends on flatter patterns, blending out over/under, and generally controlling the lane front to back whether the conditions are flat, cliffed, or anywhere in between. The Sublime Focus is a great option for speed dominant players for whom the Phaze 2 and Optimum Idol are too clean/long. If you need a new big control symmetrical ball, this is the one!

The Sublime Focus bowling ball shouldn’t be overlooked – there is a lot of consistent performance in this ball. The Sublime Focus features a Reserve Blend 804 Solid Reactive coverstock and the Immersed Symmetric A.I. Core. As of recent, this bowling ball has quickly become one of my favorite strong symmetrical balls. I drilled my Sublime Focus with my standard pin-up layout that I normally use on stronger symmetrical bowling balls: 60 x 5 x 30. Such layout and core combination results in this bowling ball flaring quite a lot. The coverstock of the Sublime Focus seems to be very strong and with out of the box surface, the bowling ball feels very early, strong and forward down the lane. Once the surface of the Sublime Focus shined itself up a bit, I saw a very controllable ball motion with a lot of mid-lane reaction. I was very pleased how this bowling ball rolled on several medium patterns. The strength of this coverstock is very noticeable as I felt like I needed to make an adjustment nearly every other shot. I am quite impressed with the Sublime Focus and I believe lots of players would have great success with this bowling ball. I think this ball fits great between strong asymmetrical bowling balls like Harsh Reality and cleaner symmetrical bowling balls like Summit Ascent. I think those bowlers who are looking for strong symmetrical bowling ball will really enjoy throwing the Sublime Focus. Also, bowlers who tend to throw it faster, will find this bowling ball to give them a very good mid-lane reaction. In my opinion, this ball will work best on fresh, heavier volume medium patterns where you need to have a little more control in the back part of the pattern. Finally, because of the strength of this coverstock, I believe the Sublime Focus will work great on majority of house patterns.

(14-16#) Finish: 2000-grit Abralon Lane Condition: Medium-Heavy Oil RG: 2.47, Diff:0.056 in 15lbs LANE CONDITION Length: 41' Volume: Medium/Heavy Type: THS COMMENTS Layout: 5.5 x 3.75 x 1 Pin above ring finger The NEW 900 Global Sublime Focus is a high-performance bowling ball designed for those seeking a ball for what the Zen Master should have been. Strong backend motion and control on medium to heavy oil conditions. The ball features the low RG 2.47 Immersed Symmetric AI Core found in the Sublime Hybrid, which provides a high revving, consistent and powerful motion through the pins. This core is known for its ability to maintain energy and deliver a strong backend reaction. Hook potential is high at 0.056 The Reserve Blend 804 Solid Reactive coverstock (upgrade of the S77 response), finished with a 2000 grit Abralon, ensures readable traction and control which allows the ball to start earlier and dig into the oil providing a strong and continuous motion. This ball is versatile and can compete with any high-end asymmetrical on the market for those that desire symmetrical pieces to their arsenal. I found mine to be a bit more predictable than my Summit and earlier than my Summit Ascent Consistency best describes the balls characteristics. Cover adjustments can be manipulated with polish or high grit Abralon pads. The ball's strong coverstock and core design allow for various drilling layouts, making it adaptable to different playing styles and lane conditions. Visit your local VIP Proshop today!

From my first release on the lanes, I found the combination of the Immersed Symmetric A.I. and Reserve Blend 804 Solid coverstock to bring consistent, predictable, and powerful results to my Sublime Focus. And as a straighter player, I couldn’t ask for a better symmetrical solid combination. So, let’s take a closer look at what makes the Sublime Focus the ball to add to your arsenal! The Immersed Symmetric A.I. Core brings a dual combination of precision and intensity to the Sublime Focus. The inner Immersed Symmetric Core is a large barbell-shaped core. And because of that shape and size, it allows us slower rev players to build the momentum we need at the pins without the ball running out of gas and leaving a flat ten. Further, unlike small, quicker rev’ing symmetric cores, I liked how its rev’ing motion was predictable, consistent, and, most importantly -where I wanted to see it! Straighter players like me will be more confident in their shot with the Immersed Symmetric Core. Further, when you add the A.I. Technology to the Immersed Symmetric Core, you have the intensity at the pins we straighter players love to see, especially from a symmetrical ball. I loved how the Immersed A.I. Symmetric crushes at the pins. And with the added A.I. technology, I could count on the Sublime Focus to carry my weakest and light off my hand shots! So, if you’re a straighter, low-rev player like me, the Immersed Symmetric A.I. Core can be your best friend. The Reserve Blend (R.B.) 804 Solid Coverstock is another example of 900 Global’s ingenuity in the modern game. The RB 804 is an excellent solid mixture that works well in many different types of conditions. Yes, it is a solid, so of course, it works well on fresh THS conditions. However, what I liked most about the RB 804 Solid was its ability to easily blend the many different types of challenging conditions. In particular, when straighter players like me are up against high-rev urethane bowlers, navigating around them can be difficult, and finding a line that will score - is quite frustrating. However, with the RB 804, I liked how the RB 804 blended the over-under and erratic conditions urethane leaves behind. I enjoyed staying in my comfort zone and still having room to create a motion that keeps me in the pocket. So, if you are a straighter player like me, you can count on the Reserve Blend 804 Solid to get you through some of those rough conditions and keep you in the match. In closing, 900 Global has done an outstanding job releasing the Sublime Focus, and the Sublime Focus is certainly not a choice you want to overlook. The Sublime Focus for any straighter player like me is strong, predictable, and reliable, and it will be an excellent choice to add to your arsenal. So, stop into your local Storm VIP Pro Shop today and have your Sublime Focus ready for tonight’s league! It is well worth it!

PAP 5” Over 1/2 up Rev Rate 300. Tilt 20. Rotation 50. Speed at release 17 Review: I have not seen the Sublime Focus rolled much around here. The ball has just been released and based on the success I have had with the Original Sublime I felt this would be a good ball. I can say The Sublime Focus was better than expected. This ball hits hard! I feel this is one that the A.I. core difference in hit really shows. The Focus even has a different, harder sound as it hits the pins. The Sublime Focus Hooks plenty but is still versatile. The Sublime Focus was forgiving when I was not very solid with my release or targeting. I feel this ball will cover a wide range of oil patterns and was very good on our slicker house shot. I could keep the ball on a tighter path in the oil or swing it to the friction with good results. The motion of this ball is pretty clean for a solid and seems to rev up nicely on the back end. The Sublime Focus should be a very good ball for a large segment of bowlers so I hope it does not get overlooked in the lineup. Hopefully bowlers can get to a Storm Match Maker Demo to roll and appreciate this ball. I would put this ball under the Ion Max and but above the Phase 2 in total hook. I think this one will be in the bag for league next week. Summary: The Sublime Focus has a nice predictable move. The roll and continuation through the pins is excellent. This ball should fit a wide range of styles and lane conditions.

Ball Reviews: Ion Max: Asymmetric, strong and designed for heavy oil conditions. The Ion Max with its strong engine will combat the heaviest of oil. Built for the fresh to play on top of it early and slowly migrating in as the transition begins, the Ion Max will be the strongest ball out the bag. This ball can be used with a lot of volume, tighter oil conditions and/or longer oil patterns. Sublime Focus: Symmetric and strong. What I like about this ball is the ability to keep my angles tight and up the lane when there is more oil or they are tighter and the stronger asymmetric's are too much ball. For comparison purposes against the other symmetric solids, this will be earlier than a Phaze 2 and provide a heavier roll smoother roll. Phaze AI: The Phaze AI is a throwback to those cleaner angular Storm bowling balls. This ball reminds me of what the UC2 provided with discernible backend motion. This ball will be usable for when the lanes begin to transition, open up and left to right (for righties/reverse for lefties) is needed without losing angle and continuation down lane. This is a great option to have when the solids become too smooth. Video Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwBg2kS4_vg

The Sublime Focus is the Sublime with a solid reactive coverstock. I love the original Sublime (just read my review of it), so putting the Solid 804 Blend cover on the Sublime was intriguing. Sure enough, the solid cover made it read the front part of the lane noticeably earlier than the original Sublime. The lower RG rolls quicker to ensure it doesn’t miss the midlane. The higher differential means it still had enough track flare potential to create good downlane motion. The Sublime Focus is a good choice if you are looking for a symmetrical ball on medium to heavy volume oil patterns. It won’t overskid and you can go up the lane with it or circle it if need be. I drilled mine pin up, 4 ½ from my PAP.

Mine is pin up, and one of my most hooking balls in my bag. Rolls so well, I liked it a lot better when it got a little lane shine on it. The more it rolls, so far, the better its getting for the lanes I'm bowling on. If I go 1st ball out on the lanes, this ball features the new Reserve Blend 804™ Solid Reactive cover stock matched with its Immersed™ Symmetric A.I. Core, this ball meets the odds for sure. Out of the box it comes at 2000. It reacts great mid lane, then it likes the back end as well. In testing, A.I. Core Technology has been seen to strike more on the light pocket hits due to the increased energy distribution, so hopefully I wont leave as many 10 pins lol!

Hi everyone, I hope all is going well in the first half of the fall bowling season! I decided to “try” to replace my current benchmark ball that I have used in league since last year. The Roto Grip Hustle X-Ray. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my 2 X-Rays but was looking to see if there was a “better” ball. I have drilled other balls from the three brands, and I have liked or loved them, but nothing has been so “steady” for me like the Hustle X- Ray. My first few rolls were better than I anticipated, I was able to start 5 boards right of my normal starting spot on the approach, but still use my target right between the 2 tracer boards down lane. I was able to stay in that area for about 40 consistent shots. Which with the X-Ray or the Ion Pro, I would have been adjusting after about 25-30 shots. My strike percentage increased by 12% over the Ion Pro and X-Ray in the same 40 consistent shots. Where I would leave blow out 10’s with the Ion Pro and weak 7’s with the X-Ray, the Sublime Focus gave me a little extra kick when carrying the corner pins. After I completed these 40 shots, I started working with the Focus by closing and opening my launch angles I was able to work with the Focus across the whole lane. Where my other 2 choices would have been a little harder to cover all the same territory on the lane, the Sublime Focus covered it all. Watching clients using them during Matchmaker events, I must encourage them to try it because they see all the hype on the Ion Pro and Ion Max, that once they try it, they lean towards the Sublime Focus. My honest opinion is that the Sublime Focus is the BEST 900 Global since they introduced the original Zen several years ago. Please DO NOT lose FOCUS on this ball. See your local Pro Shop Operator and check out what the hype is all about. My link to my YouTube video is: 900 Global Sublime Focus by Roto Grip Rick - YouTube

Now we have a Sublime for the fresh or a longer pattern. I found this ball to be very strong on a fresh as my first shot to see what we had was standing on 20 and looking at the 2nd arrow and after this one shot I knew we had to move left. It looked to really want to dig into the lane and off the pattern it broke loose. I moved 5 boards with my feet and started to target 12 and that ball seemed to get dialed in. I threw a few shots from there and then kept moving left to see how far I can go and after a few shots I just couldn't get the ball to stay on line and found that the Ion Max was a better choice from this zone. So if you are in the market for a bigger and stronger ball this would be a great option for league and tournament players alike.

The Focus features the same Immersed Core with A.I. technology in the original Sublime, this time wrapped in the 804 Reserve Blend solid cover. This is one of the most powerful Symmetric cores ever. For me the original Sublime was remarkably early for a polished ball. I tested the Sublime Focus for the first time in league. I was concerned about having as much oil as possible for this ball and it seemed like waiting for a fresh lane condition was smartest. I was shocked to find that if anything I had an easier time getting the Sublime Focus down-lane compared to the original Sublime. The Focus still gave me the strong consistent mid-lane read but it didn't stand up as sharply when it saw friction. The more drawn out transition in the back of the lane makes this ball more continous. It was plenty of ball to handle the fresh oil, but I was blown away with how well it continued to carry as the lane forced me left. I think this ball will match up to a wide variety of bowling styles. It's getting to be almost cliche to compare a ball to the Phaze II, but this ball really makes me think of the Phaze II's versatility. It is no doubt a stronger hooking ball overall, but this ball responds so well to hand position changes, and surface changes that it's standing out to me as a must for your tournament bag and an easy staple for league play.
