The XPonent is going to be the perfect first ball out of the bag and benchmark piece within the Global line! This ball features a hand-crafted mix of older and newer technology. The ALL-NEW Reserve Blend 701 Cover has been paired with the Shrapnel 2.0 Symmetric Core to create an optimal shape on medium conditions.
The incredibly predictable Shrapnel 2.0 Symmetric Core is the exact same technology previously used in the Ordnance C4. This low RG/medium differential core will rev up quickly and produce a very even and continuous shape on the lane. With its single density construction, the baseline reaction this core creates will match up to a variety of styles across a broad spectrum of patterns.

900 Global Xponent
Ball Review for the 900 Global Xponent Ball Specs: 900 Global Xponent Coverstock: Reserve Blend 701 Solid Weight Block: Shrapnel 2.0 Symmetric Color Midnight Cyan Finish 4000 grit Layout 50x4 3/8x35 or 4 3/8x4 1/4x2 1/4 Bowler Specs: Right Hand. PAP 3 9/16 Over 7/8 up Rev Rate 400 Speed at release 17.5 Review: The 900 Global Xponent is the newest ball in the 700 line. This ball features the shrapnel 2.0 symmetrical core found in the Ordnance C4 and the new reserve blend 701 solid. This ball is going to be a great benchmark ball for all bowlers and a great step down from the Storm Summit, Phaze 2, or the Roto Grip TNT. The new reserve blend 701 features new additive technology inside of proven coverstock tech. What I found is this ball is something that reads in the later part of the fronts along with great read in the mids to create a smoother backend motion. If you had a C4 and are looking for a ball that is a little bit more overall this will be your ball. It is also going to pair great with the 900 Global Zen gold label for a 1-2 punch. Get yours 7/28 at your local Storm VIP pro shop. Alex Thomes #stormnation #strikingworldwide #SquadRG #Driven2Bowl

Another Great Symmetrical Ball
Dual Angle Layout: 55 x 4 ½ x 40 Storm Vector Layout: 4 ½ x 4 ½ x 2 ½ When I first saw the Xponent I thought it was a TNT with different colors, but this ball stands alone. The Xponent is not afraid of oil for a symmetrical ball. Nice clean roll, great midlane reaction with continuous drive through the pins. My only complaint so far is that there seems to be a few balls released recently that fit into the same spot in the bag as the Xponent but if you’re in the market for a strong symmetrical ball with some surface look no further.

900 Global Xponent Review
A new release from 900 Global featuring the Reserve Blend 701 Solid cover, Shrapnel 2.0 core, and comes at 4000-grit finish. This ball was designed to be a medium ball but give you that control down lane. After throwing it on house, challenge, and sport patterns it feels that way to me. When it sees the friction, it appears like it is going to jump and go left but it just smooths out and continues through the pins. I also feel that this ball is sensitive to hand position or release. If I came up the back of it, it was a very smooth and continuous motion (front to back) but if I came around it, the reaction would be more side to side off the friction. I did compare with the OG Zen and it is definitely a ball down from it as the Zen read the lane earlier and was quicker off the spot. I also threw in some shots from the DUO since the core numbers are similar but the DUO was a good ball up from the Xponent. I think for higher rev players they will enjoy this ball as it will give them control and is on the medium range for ball strength. Tobias Myers #GoGobal #StrikingWorldWide

Great Value
Preorder the 900 Global XPonent at your local pro shop. It is available on July 28, 2023. I went with the same layout I put on my Summit (30 x 3 3/8 x 20) and was not disappointed. For me it is a very similar motion compared to the Roto Grip TNT. The main difference for me is the XPonent is a bit cleaner and it just continues through the pins. Our Thursday scratch league bowls on Big Ben and I tried it out in practice but ended up going with the ball I have been using to start the nights out my Storm Pro Motion. At the end of game 2 I decided to use it for the 10th frame for the left lane which was tight all night. I loved how it shaped especially after 2 games so I ended up sticking with it on both lanes and went front 7 (operator error in frame 8 lol) and finished with a 253 and then game 4 I did not miss the pocket and went 249. #stormbowling #SquadRG #rotogrip #stormnation #A2B #ViseInserts #CoolwickApparel

Xponent-Striking is the common denominator!
The Xponent is a new and improved version of a shape originally provided by the Ordnance C4. The low RG, medium DIFF solid symmetrical fills a very important gap between the IQ Tour Solid and the higher diff solid symmetricals like the Phaze 2 or the TNT. This ball is perfect for starting a little more direct on a more blended pattern, or for blending out the wet/dry of many house shots. The Xponent is a huge addition to our current product line. This ball fills a very important gap and provides a squarely medium symmetrical solid that compliments several pieces in our current product line. The Xponent has a spot in everyone's bag!

Video Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gujtd-7Tr0A&feature=youtu.be Review: Xponent: Reactive solid with the Ordinance core is a perfect blend to this benchmark symmetrical. A step up earlier reaction from the IQ Tour, the Xponent is an ideal selection as the first ball out of the bag. The Xpoenent will be good for those medium oil conditions when control is at a premium. This fits between a IQ Tour and Summit in terms of performance. If the Summit is too much and the Tour is not enough the Xponent will fit that slot. These type of balls should be in every players bag. Zen Gold Label: Cleaner than the original Zen, the Zen Gold will be the cleanest and most angular Zen to date. This is close to a UC2 although a tad earlier/smoother. The Zen Gold will provide clean reaction through the front part of the lane yet respond favorably down lane to friction. As the solid/earlier ball reactions begin to fade and migration to the inside part of the lane is required the Zen Gold will be a great transition option. This ball will be good for those medium to heavier oil conditions and when your looking to create angle with your ball reaction.
