900 Global Break Down Bowling Ball

(2 reviews) Write a Review
900 Global’s first manufactured ball, the Break™, really put us on the map, and over the years we’ve heard request after request to bring it back, with a tweak. The S70™ Solid Coverstock has an impressive history (and even a USBC Open Championship All Events Record), and with the modified Break™ Asymmetric core, you’ll finally be able to use it later in tournament blocks. We’ve significantly raised the RG and lowered the differential to provide more length and less flare, all while keeping the fabled S70™ on hand to provide that perfect friction-to-backend ratio everyone loves. The Break™ Down will be the perfect choice for bowlers looking for length and control on broken down lanes, particularly medium-heavy volume tournament conditions. When the lanes start to break down, grab your Break™ Down!

It was long overdue, but with one catch, a lower differential core. How was this going to react? The Break Down is the smoothest, most controlled, predictable ball I have ever thrown! No matter what condition I used the Break Down on, what I got was a nice midlane read with a smooth, controlled backend reaction. This ball allowed me to square up to the lane and throw the ball on a down and in line. Nothing fancy or flashy about it. Also, after game 2 on a THS, the switch is automatic. It is easily the go to ball when the lanes get over-under and go through transition. When the heads get burnt, bring out the Break Down! True to its name, you won't be disappointed. You will find the back-end motion is not the same as a the typical "Break" core ball in the past with the skid/snap reaction. Very drill and bowling style friendly, don't be afraid to put your favorite layout on it. Hans Schell, 900 Global Regional Staff; Colorado Springs, CO

    Break Down Drilling: Pin under middle finger CG in palm Surface: OOB Lane condition: 41ft THS Description: The Break Down brings back the historic technology of the Break series from several years ago, but it has a tweak to the ball dynamics to make the ball very suitable for tougher/flatter/broken down lane conditions. This will be THE tournament ball of choice for me. I haven't seen a ball with the mix of an asymmetric core and so call "weak" RG and diff numbers before, but it provides a very unique roll and very controllable motion. This ball does the one thing that I look for when picking out a ball for tougher lane conditions; it seems to "hug" the lane as it goes toward the pins. Nothing every too dramatic, very predictable, strong motion through the pins, keeps pins low. Hard to argue with the success of this ball line in the past, and if you want to find a ball that will be great on tougher lanes and broken down shots, this is definitely one to consider.
