900 Global Zen 25 Bowling Ball

The Zen 25 is a great ball to add to the bag if you are looking for length down lane that finishes smooth and angular. If you loved the original Zen Pearl, you won’t be disappointed in the Zen 25!

900 Global Zen 25 Ball Review Layout-VLS 5x4x2 Surface-Power Edge Polish 900 Global has brought back the Zen to the lineup with the orginal core but added AI Technology wrapped with a new pearl coverstock. Zen 25 compared to the orginal Zen will be cleaner with a more continous motion on the backend so it will be a great option on medium lane conditions. I also compared the orgin to Zen 25 the origin will read the midlane more in the body of the lane pattern then when you need more length Zen 25 will be a great option. I like starting with the origin on fresh oil and once the pattern breaks down Zen 25 will create more length with a sharper backend.

The Zen 25 is far more than another version of a proven core with a sharp-looking new coverstock. The Zen 25 is built from the success of the powerful Meditate Core. Then 900 Global wrapped the Meditate Core with the explosive dynamics of A.I. Technology, and when you add in the all-new RB 83 Pearl Reactive Coverstock, finished with Storm's all-new Power Edge polish, you get a hand-crafted pin-destructing missile to add to your arsenal. So, let's take a closer look at the genius behind the Zen 25. The Meditate Core is a large, beefy, symmetric core that straighter players like me love using. The Meditate core's sheer size and density allow straighter players like me to create a motion we can depend on and the power we need to strike. The Meditate Core alone is a predictable, smooth-rolling core that generates a significant amount of energy as it heads down the lane. And when you add the power of the A.I. Core technology around the Meditate Core, you create a monster of explosive power and precision we straighter, low-rev players love to have at their disposal. And lastly, when a straighter player has that steam-rolling continuation like that found in the Zen 25, you can count on the light hits to carry, those tight hits to explode, and pin-action that keeps us in play shot after shot. The RB 83 Pearl Coverstock is a fine-crafted blend of smooth and grit all-in-one Pearl Coverstock. As a straighter player on a fresh THS, I found the RB 83 to be a great combination of smoothness in the front part of the lane and crisp traction when it sees friction. Yet, I found that it also blends through skid, hook, and roll with a very stable motion nearly all night, which, as a straighter player, I could easily adjust to as the night went on. So, if you are a straighter player like me, you will love how RB 83 on the Zen 25 will simplify your adjustments and keep you in the pocket as the lanes transition. Lastly, I found that with Storm's Power Glide finish, the RB 83 is a very balanced cover that is predictable and stable and creates an explosive back-end motion! So, there is no doubt that the RB 83 is an excellent cover for any straighter player like me. In closing, 900 Global has done an outstanding job of hand-crafting another great winning ball with the Zen 25. The Zen 25 is more than another Zen with a sharp-looking coverstock. Instead, the Zen 25 brings the Zen legacy to a whole new powerful level of outstanding performance to add to any straighter player's arsenal! So, stop into your local Storm VIP Pro Shop today and get ready to take the second half of your bowling season to a striking new level because the Zen 25 will deliver!

If you were a fan of the Original Zen, you will love the upgrade to its iconic release. Featuring the RB 83 Pearl Coverstock, and finished with Power Edge Polish, the Zen25 is 900 Global’s newest release with AI Technology. The Meditate symmetric core provides this ball with the ultimate ball motion you could ask for. More shape, more entry angle, more results. Comparing the Zen25 to my Road Warrior and personal favorite, Optimum Idol Pearl, I found the Zen25 to go more longer in shape, clean through the fronts, and saving its strong entry angle through the pins. Whereas both my Road Warrior and Idol Pearl picks up a little earlier, it still gives the particular ball motion bowlers are looking for. I would find the Zen25 most suitable for medium/heavy lane conditions as well as a great transitional ball for later in game blocks. Be sure to stop by your local pro shop today and drill up a Zen25. Zen ball good!! (Thomas Coco, Storm Staffer)

When making another pearl zen, you got to be thinking will this one be as good as the original. Let me tell you this all new Zen 25 is better! There is not enough good things i can say about this ball. I used my favorite layout on this one 50X5X30 and this ball is a monster. If you had the OG zen and want the newest model then look no further because this is the ball for you. Go on down to your local pro shop and drill this piece!

Core: Meditate Symmetric A.I. Cover: Reserve Blend 83 Pearl Finish: Power Edge RG: 2.48 (15) Differential: 0.053 (15) 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 3/4 X 4 3/4 X 1 3/4 VLS The most popular release in the Global line was without question the Zen. So what would a Zen look like with A.I. technology? We had to know, so along comes the Zen 25. Featuring the Mediate core with Amplified Intertia technology and a new cover called RB 83 Pearl the Zen 25 is what we've been missing. A replacement for one of the greatest balls ever made. I spent some time prior to drilling mine researching what other thought about it. I really wanted to get it as close to my original zen as I could. I was a little surprised that some people felt it gave them the same look they had with the original and others felt it was a little cleaner and a little more off the spot. My original worry was that the AI addition would cause it to get forward too soon. I decided to use the exact same numbers I had used on my original Zen and I'm glad I did. I tested the Zen 25 for the first time in league. I decided to save it for the transition in game 2 and my only regret for the night ended up being that I didn't get into it right away. The ball has the trademark Zen shape for me. It's a little earlier than you would expect with an incredibly consistant mid-lane motion and the smooth continuous down-lane finish that was the trademark of the original Zen. I didn't personally see any noticeable difference it terms of length and shape down-lane compared to my original. The one big difference is the color and I think that's an improvement. This ball really has has great shelf appeal. For anyone who didn't have the pleasure of throwing the original zen, it's popularity was due in large part to it's versatility. It was a ball that matched up with many different lane conditons and styles of play. You'll get the same from the zen 25. For pro shop guys it should be the staple that you love. It's a go to for any style player and you can be confident that your customers will be happy with what they are buying.

Dual Angle Layout: 55 x 4 ½ x 25 Storm Vector Layout: 4 ½ x 4 ½ x 1 ¾ The Zen 25 from 900 Global features the brand new Reserve Blend 83 Pearl Reactive Cover stock wrapped around the trusted Meditate Symmetric weight block with AI Core. The Power Edge polish allows the ball to read earlier then expected but still allows continuation on the back end. For me this ball was much earlier than I expected, which makes it a great choice for a fresh house shot. I was hoping this ball would replace my Optimum Idol Pearl, but the Zen 25 is much earlier and stronger allowing me to have both in my bag.

Ok all, I love this ball!!! If you had the original Zen or not, this ball is amazing. Right out of the box, Yes i shot a 300 with it. This ball rolls very well. Featuring the brand-new RB 83™ Pearl Reactive coverstock and the trusted Meditate™ Symmetric weight block with A.I. Core. Right out of the box with the Power Edge finish, it fits in my bag PERFECT, If you had the Zen, the Zen 25...to me, read the lane sooner, and had more of a cleaner back end. I had mine drilled with the pin in my middle finger. Stood 27 with my feet, looked around 16 - 17 at the arrows, break point around 8...and yeah it carried very well. Yes I shot a 300 and a 764 series on synthetic lanes, then last night I subbed on a Friday league with wooden lanes and shoot a 769 series. Only thing I had to watch is if I got in in the oil and didn't get it out as far, it didn't hook enough. If I got it right too early, it hooked a little too much. That's why I like watching the mid lane and the way a ball reads. I love the way this ball looks and how it reacts both on wooden lanes and synthetic lanes.

Right handed 235 Average 17mph 350 rev rate The 900 Global Zen 25 pays its homage to the original Zen, but now with the AI core and the brand new Power Edge polish. I found the Zen 25 a bit cleaner and a bit more angular than the original. I have used it at box surface and I have also hit it with a 2000 pad to take the polish off. It is two different looks and I liked them both. If you liked the original Zen, then the Zen 25 should find a place in your bag.

The Zen 25 is the newest ball in the Zen line from 900 Global. It features the RB83 Pearl Reactive cover, Meditate Symmetric A.I. Core, and comes with Power Edge finish. This is the fourth ball in the Zen line and to me, it is the best one yet. I did not match up with the first three very well for certain reasons on each ball but this one I really like how it shapes. It is clean through the fronts with plenty of down lane motion, but it is a rounder shape. For me, it sits in between the OG Zen and Gold Label, not as early/forward as the OG and not as clean and bomb down lane as the Gold Label. I will use the Z25 when I need to ball down from something like the Origin or S2 when the lanes begin to burn up and I need a ball to clear the fronts. For me, it is in the Attention Star range of a ball but being a symmetric piece it will give me another reaction on the lanes. This is a great release by 900 Global!

The Zen 25 is 900 Globals newest piece. The Zen 25 features the same mediate core found in the previous Zen line balls but is now wrapped in RB 83 pearl and finished with power edge. This creates a cleaner and more responsive Zen compared to the OG. The OG for me was a little too early and forward for me to use on a variety of patterns. I believe the Zen 25 is going to be the perfect game 3 league ball when i need to move left and open the lane up. Stop into any Storm VIP pro shop and order your own today!

Ball Specs: 900 Global Zen 25 Cover: Reserve Blend 83™ Pearl Reactive Core: Meditate™ A.I. Core (Symmetrical) Color: Red/Silver/Black Review: #ZenBallGood The Zen line is quickly becoming a staple line similar to the Hy-Road or Phaze lines. We were happy to see another successful Zen release after we thought it hit a bit of a plateau with the ‘Master’ and ‘Soul’ just kind being okay pieces. Going back to a more similar shape to the original, and beefed up with the A.I. core tech the Zen 25 picks up just a touch sooner and a touch more overall. We drilled this ball with our normal layout: tweener, 350-375 revs, 16.5mph, layout of choice is 4x4x2 (pin is above bridge). Although the SPI market is a bit flooded with pearls, this is our current favorite of the entire collection. The Meditate weight block really creates some continuous power through the pins that is not comparable. Pair that with an incredible cover, and new core technology and its game over for the competition.

The Zen 25 by 900 Global continues the legacy of excellence in the Zen lineup, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Every ball in this series has been a favorite of mine—including the Zen Master—and the Zen 25 is no exception. Featuring the new RB 83 Pearl coverstock, this ball offers the perfect combination of length and backend motion. The "83" rating on the Reserve Blend scale ensures a clean look through the fronts with a strong, reliable reaction downlane, making it a go-to option for medium-heavy oil conditions. Whether you’re looking for confidence on tougher patterns or consistency in league play, the Zen 25 delivers.

Orientation: Right Handed Rev Rate: 400 RPM Speed: 16-17 MPH PAP: 4 ½ over and 1 1/8 up Location: Enterprise Park Lanes, Springfield MO Pattern: High Volume THS VLS Layout: Layout 1: 4 5/8 x 4 x 2 ½ (Pin above bridge) Layout 2: 4 ¼ x 4 x 4 (pin below bridge) The Zen 25 is a new pearl AI Zen. And WOW! I thought I liked the OG Zen. This is better. The Zen 25 revs up quicker and is more on the back than the OG or the Zen Gold Label. The Zen 25 almost acts like it has a weight hole when it hits the midlane and makes a nice strong continuous backend. I like that because it’s control and power! I have the Zen 25 cleaner than the Optimum Idol Pearl, and the Phaze AI but stronger than the Ruby. Great new symmetrical pearl from SPI!

I LOVED the OG Zen. If you can believe it, they took it and made it better! This ball is so clean. The OG Zen was a bit more "rolly" than the 25 which is why I think it found its way out of my bag eventually. The Zen 25 gives you the same consistency while storing quite a bit more energy for the back end. The continuation is more comparable to my Virtual Energy Blackout which is my favorite ball of 2024 so it is no surprise I am falling in love with the 25. It is definitely going to be a standout this year in league as far as honor scores but I can't wait to see what I can do with it in tournaments coming up. It is extremely aesthetically pleasing to the eye to boot!     

Cover: RB 83 Pearl Reactive Core: Meditate Symmetric A.I. RG: 2.48 RG. Diff.: 0.053 Finish: Power Edge 900 Global’s new Zen25 is a Pearl Symmetrical piece that is good for Medium Volume patterns. 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. I threw this piece on a Left Over and Fresh house pattern. Out of Box ball motion started in the mids with a sharp backend reaction through the pins. I compared this to the Xponent Pearl & Origin. Xponent Pearl was 2-2 Right with a smoother backend reaction. Origin was 2-2 Left with a smother backend reaction. This piece fits between the two pieces I compared this too. This piece will be good for all types of styles. Check Out the Ball motion Video on my YouTube Page: https://youtube.com/shorts/tai8g4NjQJ8?feature=share

I drilled the new 900 Global Zen 25 5.5x4x2. This gives me a clean option for later in the day. My initial thoughts of the ball were clean, responsive, and continuous. This new version of the original Zen features RB 83 pearl cover with the Meditate A.I. core. Compared to the original zen, this ball is more responsive off the end of the pattern, whereas the original zen read the mid-lanes a bit more. I slotted this ball under a Phaze A.I. in a tournament bag to provide the responsive, yet clean motion when the lanes dry up. This ball will carry you all throughout 2025!

900 Global iconic Zen line is back in 2025 with the all new Zen25. It features the brand new RB 83 Pearl cover and the trusted Meditate Core with AI technology added. I drilled mine 5 x 3 and WOW the Zen is back. The Zen25 reminds me of a combination of the original Zen and the Zen Gold Label. It is as strong as the Zen but clean as the Gold Label was. Compared to the Phaze AI, it is cleaner with more of an angular motion down lane as the Phaze is more rounded. If you are looking to open up the lane and watch the something create a ton of angle down lane, then look no farther than the Zen25.

The new 900 Global Zen25 the rebirth of the original Zen in the new RB 83 cover stock along with AI Core technology. This ball is that big pearl for higher volumes of oil. When this ball was announced I was really excited to put this in my bag. It hasn’t disappointed me with its performance. Using the layout of 60x5x30 the Zen25 has quickly become a go to ball on league nights. Reads the midlane the with ease and pops off the spot. This is a ball I would recommend for adding to your bag for A wide variety of skills levels. Pick one up at local Storm VIP pro shop today!!

The Zen series has an amazing track record and there is no doubt, Zen 25 will be an amazing addition to the 900 Global line. The Zen 25 is designed to deliver the precision, power, and consistency every bowler desires. It features the new Reserve Blend 83 Pearl coverstock with power edge finish and the proven Meditate Symmetric weight block upgraded with A.I.. The cover/core combination will create effortless length and an explosive backend reaction on medium to heavy conditions. The Zen 25 gave me a great look sliding on 32, looking 17 at the arrows with my breakpoint around 6-7. I was able to move left without any concern that the ball would lose energy. I expect the Zen 25 to work well during league and later in tournaments as the lanes transition. When compared to the Origin, the Zen 25 was cleaner and more responsive, so they are going to compliment each other very well. Stop by your local Storm VIP pro shop to check it out! Available on January 17th. Coverstock: Reserve Blend 83 Pearl - Power Edge Core: Meditate Symmetric A.I.

The 900 Global Zen 25 is a high-performance ball designed for medium to heavy oil conditions, featuring the Reserve 83 Blend Pearl Reactive coverstock and a refined version of the Meditate Symmetric AI Core, offering an aggressive motion with exceptional versatility. Its combination of mid-lane traction and strong backend reaction provides a consistent, predictable motion with impressive continuation through the pocket, making it a great choice for a wide range of bowlers. Compared to the 900 Global Sublime, which features the Immersed Symmetrical AI Core and Reserve Blend 802 Hybrid Reactive Coverstock, the Zen 25 has more overall hook potential and a sharper backend, making it better suited for heavier oil conditions. The original Zen, while utilizing the Meditate Symmetrical Core, has a similar pearl coverstock (S77 Response Pearl Reactive), but produces a slightly smoother overall motion with less sharpness on the backend compared to the Zen 25, which has been refined for more angularity and stronger continuation. Overall, the Zen 25 offers more power and versatility than the Sublime and the original Zen, making it a better option for bowlers looking for a more dynamic, angular reaction. You are not going to want to miss out on this bowling ball, get yours at your local Storm VIP proshop on January 17th!

This ball is beautiful I drilled this 3.5x4x1.5 and throwing it I was expecting something that might be smoother down lane but I got a more controllable motion with later motion of the zen core down lane. So this will be the ball you can get left especially later in the block and still have that core rev up and continue through the pin
