    900 Global Burner Solid and Burner Pearl dual review and comparison: Solid: Cover stock S62 polished Solid Reactive Weight Block Centriod Symmetric Pearl: Cover stock S62 polished Pearl Reactive Weight Block Centriod Symmetric Two new additions built to help with lighter conditions, which most bowlers are seeing more and more. I started by throwing both balls as they came out of the box. Both being polished, on the weaker side, and being tossed on a fresh house shot on the heavier side, I saw minimal difference between the two after a couple dozen shots with each (which is what I expected). After I saw that, I sanded the Solid to 2000. This gave me a totally different reaction. The adjustment got the Solid going much earlier than the pearl. The Pearl gives me a "Hustle plus" feel. Very similar roll to my Roto Grip Hustle Wine, just a bit stronger. I love Hustle's...I probably mention that in 90% of my light-medium oil ball reviews. The Burners look like they could be a gap filler between the Hustle's and IQ series, which is something I will use often. If you bowl leagues/tournaments on ligher oil house shots, a 3 ball arsenal of IQ/Burner/Hustle is something to check into. The Burner's give me a little more angle than the IQ's and Hustle's, perfect for the middle of that lineup.

    The 900 Global Burner Solid features the S62 Solid Cover and the new Centroid Symmetric Core. The Burner Solid has a medium RG of 2.53 a low differential of 0.037. To bring this all together, the solid S62 coverstock will glide through the midlane and a smooth shape on the backend. I did a ball comparison to the Roto Grip Hustle PBR on a 41ft THS. The PBR features the VTC Solid reactive coverstock with the Hustle core. The Burner Solid is stronger by at least 4-6 boards. The Burner Solid went through the heads and really maintained the traction through the midlane with ease but really stored all of its energy for the backend. The PBR can be a really nice transition ball to the Burner solid.

    The second addition to the Burner Series; the Burner Solid. The Burner Solid has the same RG and Differential found in the Burner Line, only wrapped with the S62 Solid Reactive Cover Stock. The Burners are a great 1-2 punch when it comes to having lower end solids and pearls. This Burner solid has a lot more shape than I expected out of a lower end solid symmetrical piece. With shine, this ball gives you plenty of length and a smooth backend and with surface, it still digs in the oil and still manages to come around the corner without loosing much continuation. If you're looking for lower end pieces for those dry house shots and you're looking for the biggest bang for your buck, look no further when it comes to the Burner series from 900 Global! Pick your up at your local storm VIP Pro Shop.

The Burner Solid is a great first ball for bowlers looking to start hooking the ball and a GREAT piece for speed challenged/rev dominant players. The S62 solid is an incredibly even rolling cover that gives you great motion on dry to medium conditions. While I haven't found alot of opportunity to throw the Burner solid on our high volume house pattern, I was fortunate enough to have it at the Open Championships this year and it was incredibly useful for controlling my ball motion on the Team Pattern. It provided for a seamless transition from my pitch purple and allowed me to stay in the same area of the lane after I had created some carry-down with the urethane ball. The Burner Solid is very friendly to multiple layouts, surface changes and hand position changes. You can quite literally make this ball do anything you want it to. It's an incredibly useful piece and definitely outperforms it's price point.

    When I first drilled the burner solid it reminded me a lot of the hustle pbr. This lower end ball offers a smooth controllable motion with still storing energy to get through the pins. This piece gets down the lane further than the pbr and has more off the spot. This ball is good for medium to light oil conditions. The burner solid and burner pearl will be a one two punch for anyone's bag that is either beginning bowling or needs a predictable ball or one that is skid flippy. Get to your local pro shop and get your hands on these, you wont be disappointed.

    Burner Solid • 600 Series Coverstock • S62 Solid Reactive: Finish • 1500 Grit Polished Core • Centriod Symmetric Core RG • 2.53 Differential • 0.037 Layout • 70 x 4x 25 Tester PAP = 4 ½ R x 3/8 D • Tester Axis Tilt = 12° •Testers Rev Rate = 325 Test Pattern = 42' THS • Modified, Kegel Stone Street The Burner Series from 900 Global is a brilliant design to fit many styles of bowlers. The Burner Solid is an excellent choice for the beginner bowler looking to grow into a ball and their game. It is also a perfect choice for the seasoned bowler looking for a transition ball that provides consistency. Let's take a look at the 900 Global Burner solid on a THS. The all-new Centroid Core design hits the mark for a reliable motion. Acting as a new bowler, I was able to look at the second arrow on fresh oil and, after release, watch how the ball made its turn towards the pocket. From a new bowler's perspective, it showed me what ball motion would look like as I learned. From an advanced bowler's mindset, the Centroid Core provided a consistent movement during the transition. I liked how this core retained its energy and maintained its inertia at the back end. This Centroid Core provided a cleaner, more rounded motion instead of a sharp and "jumpy" action. The S62 Solid cover gives the Burner Solid a lot of options for many style bowlers. Being a higher speed, low rev player, I tweaked the surface to 1000 grit Abralon on fresh oil and was able to have a great look playing straight up the five board early on. Although the 1000 grit was too much for transition, on a different night, I tweaked the cover to 3000, and the S62 surface came alive! It blended the wet/dry conditions smoothly and kept me in play where the expected effects of urethane would create havoc! The S62 cover and a few Abralon pads give the Burner Solid a lot of versatility. My final thought as both a professional bowler and a pro shop operator is the Burner Solid makes an excellent choice for many different bowlers. The Burner Solid is above the entry-level, leaving room for new bowlers to grow into the ball and their game. It is also an excellent choice for the seasoned pro looking for a transition ball that will provide good options to help your game. So, I suggest asking your pro shop operator to drill you up a Burner Solid for your next competition! You will be happy you did.

    Cover stock: S62 Solid Reactive Core: Centroid symmetric 2.53 RG 0.037 Diff (15lb.) Color: Orange/Teal Finish: 1500 grit polish Bowler Specs: Right Hand. PAP 4" Over 0 up Rev Rate 400, Average Tilt, low Axis Rotation. Speed at cameras 16.5 – 17 Layout: 4.5 x 4 x 2.5 (pin up) Review: The Burner Solid is a great ball for medium to dry lane conditions and fits perfectly just under the Ordnance C4 or your typical benchmark ball. The solid S62 cover is super versatile, very receptive to surface changes and blends out the fresh league conditions nicely. It reacts really well off the dry without over-reacting and clears the front half of the lane easily. Slower ball speed players and high rev players can stay in their comfort zone and not have to jump deep inside to get the ball to the pocket. It also has a smooth and continuous backend reaction. Everyone needs a ball for when the lanes aren't juiced up. The Burner fills that spot and offers the best bang for your buck of anything out there.

    900 Global Burner Solid Ball Review by PJ Haggerty One of the newest additions to the 900 Global Line is the Burner Solid. This ball belongs in the 600 Series and is designed to be at a lower price point with some great performance. As a compliment to the Burner Pearl, the Solid provides a solid coverstock with the same engine as the Burner Pearl. With an RG of 2.53 and differential of .037, I've seen a lot of success with the Burner Pearl in a few ways: higher friction surfaces, lower volume patterns, and when some of the asymmetrical balls start to bog down. I've drilled one Burner Solid so far and really like it. I drilled it with the following layout: 4.5 x 4 x 60. This puts the pin above my ring finger and I also cracked the surface with a 3000 pad. I've noticed it's a great ball to go to after my Proton Physix and Reality start to get a bit lazy down lane. Also, I noticed the Orange in the coverstock creates a faster response time which can be beneficial to make sure a cleaner ball like this still picks up. Overall, I think it's a beneficial addition to the line. Go drill one!

    Layout: 30 x 4" x 70 The Burner Solid has become my go-to ball for when the lanes get weird or unpredictable, and it has become of my favorites right now. I drilled it pin down with a strong pin to p.a.p., which I normally do not do, but I wanted to emphasize the smooth and predictable motion. I hit the cover with a 3000 pad and I got a perfect benchmark ball reaction. I can use it when the lanes are fresh, as long as they are not super heavy, and I can move left as the night goes on. It is a strong, smooth reaction that I can use on anything from medium-dry to medium-heavy conditions. It is not quite strong enough for fresh heavy patterns, which is when the Zen Master comes into play.

    900 Global Burner Solid Cover: 1500 Polished S62™ Solid Reactive Core: Centroid™ (Symmetrical) Color: Orange/Teal Review: The Burner Solid has been one of my favorite pieces released from 900 Global. Initially I was skeptical of the ball but soon realized this ball was going to be one of my favorites in my bag. The ball really reminds me of a Hustle Ink the way that it gives you that smooth reaction. This ball is a great ball to keep in the bag for all conditions. The ball has also proved it's versatility by being able to change the surface of the ball to fit the conditions you are playing on. If you haven't already picked up one of these balls I highly suggest you do so before you can't. Will Tefft Roto Grip Staff Member will@parklanes.net www.900Global.com #GoGlobal

    900 Global Burner Solid Cover: 1500 Polished S62™ Solid Reactive Core: Centroid™ (Symmetrical) Color: Orange/Teal Review: This definitely fills a void in our 900 Global line of balls similar to what the hustle line does for Roto Grip. This bowling ball would be a great starter piece for bowlers looking for something more than entry level. The Burner Solid also works well in the transition for seasoned veterans needing a solid long into a block before switching to a Hybrid or Pearl cover. Compared to the After Burner this ball is much more predictable and stable down lane and overall hooks more. This is a great step down from the Zen Master and a must have toned down Solid cover in your bag.

    Ok all, this ball is surprising to me. As people read my reviews...YES, I hit this ball with a 3000 pad and I love getting a little lane shine on it. I have both the Solid and the Pearl, and amazed on how this ball rolls. For me the solid doesn't "jump" on the back end. Especially on a league shot. If the lanes dry out some, or you wanna play off other people with a bowling ball that shouldn't over react...this is the ball to get out of your bag. If it starts to hook a little early pull out the Pearl Burner. Its just an awesome 2 ball group to have in your bag. Pretty Happy with them. 900 Global is coming a long way indeed!

    Global Burner Solid: S62 Solid Reactive with Centroid Core 1500 grit polished - layout: 6 x 2 x 5 Well, this one was a little surprising for me. Wanted a ball closer to the INK and the Camo just did not do what I expected, mostly due to the experimental layout I used on it, I found the Global Burner Solid a close 2nd to the Hustle INK. A strong ball from front to back of the lane, still managed to save energy and also did not under hook or over hook. Really liked how easy it rolled and was predictable from front to bak, no "WHOA" what was that reaction like some other entry level performance pieces out there. Will replace my INK in my tournament arsenal for sure once I get back up and rolling through the tournament in the near future.

    If you're looking to update your THS league arsenal this may be the ball for you. The Burner Solid is intended for medium to light oil league patterns and accommodating to all styles. The cover is the solid S62 version of the popular S62 hybrid found on the Afterburners with the the ALL NEW Centroid Symmetric Core. This ball for me is 3 boards stronger than its predecessor. A more rounded controlled shape throughout its transition from skid, hook to roll. My layout is 4 1/2x 4 3/8x 1 3/4. I adjusted my surface with a worn 3k pad to knock off the shine and handle more of the medium oil patterns. The Burner Solid is my game 2-3 ball as the lanes transition. Adjusting the cover, I was able to combat any carry down where I bowl league at. Very forgiving mid-performance ball at a bargain price. #GoGlobal #StrikingWorldwide

    The Burner Solid features the S62 Pearl coverstock at a 1500 grit polished finish and the controllable Centroid symmetric core. S62 is of similar strength to Storm's Reactor cover on the Electrify series and Roto's VTC cover on the Hustle series, and is designed for light to medium volumes. My layout is 4 ¾ x 5 x 2 ½ which puts the pin over my ring finger and stacks the cg below. The Centroid core comes in at a 2.53 RG and .037 differential in 15 pounds and is a bit stronger than the cores in those other lines, but the general overall reaction is still in the light to medium oil and/or transitioned condition category. At the same surface, the Pearl and Solid aren't terribly different from one another, just a bit earlier and smoother from the Solid, but not significantly enough to reflect a difference in the ratings. I would recommend taking the Solid to something like 3000 grit to create more separation in the reactions to give you a very "solid" pair of complimenting reactions for a very low price. I rate the Burner Solid a 4 on hook, 7 on length, and 7 on backend strength.

    Burner Solid: I drilled up my Burner Solid 4 x 25. The diff rating suggested a little more flare potential than the usual lower powered SPI offerings so I adjusted my back angle accordingly. Compared to my other lower end balls like the Hustles. the Burner is more on the backend. Same kind of push thru the front, just more responsive like my higher end balls. The Global offerings keep getting better and better....

    Burner Solid: The Burner Solid features the S62 Solid cover and the Centroid symmetric Core. The numbers on the Burner Solid core are 2.53 RG, .037 diff. Mine is drilled 4" to PAP with a 3" pin buffer. This is another great mid-level offering from 900Global. My Burner Solid is a great fit in my arsenal that is just underneath my benchmark balls like the IQ Tour. I would label the backend shape as medium response and medium strength. The Burner Solid floats farther down the lane than I was expecting so to get the most use out of it I sanded mine with a 1,500 grit Abralon pad.

    Orientation: Right Handed Rev Rate: 400 RPM Speed: 16-17 MPH PAP: 4 ½ over and ½ up Location: Enterprise Park Lanes, Springfield MO Pattern: High Volume THS VLS Layout: Layout 1: 5 x 4 x 2 ½ (pin above bridge) Layout 2: 4 ½ x 4 x 4 1/8 (pin below bridge) I was a big fan of the Afterburners, but they were a little too weak at times for me. In comes the Burner Solid and Pearl and the first thing I noticed about these balls was the strong midlane and how easy they rolled forward and never quit. I LOVE the ball roll I get from the new Burners I put my Burner Solid pin down and it's super clean and smooth and continuous, it gives me Hustle Ink vibes. It's a great benchmark ball for the fresh. My Burner Pearl is pin up and it's AMAZING for light volume or transition. It feels like I can use it on much more volume than I could the Afterburners or even the Hustles. Don't sleep on the Burner Pearl or Solid, they are great lighter oil/transition balls from 900 Global

    Highly polished solid works perfectly when you need a pearls length but a more controlled move at the breakpoint. Higher rev players, low speeds are going to love it. Higher friction and older surfaces always bring the same issues even during leagues. This ball solves many if them.

    Ball Specs: Global Burner Solid Cover stock S62 polished Solid Reactive Weight Block Symetric Color Orange / Teal Finish 1500 Polished Bowler Specs: Right Hand. PAP 5" Over 1/2 up Rev Rate 300. Tilt 20. Rotation 50. Speed at release 17 Review: The Burner Solid will not be a hook monster but does exactly what is designed to do. This ball is stronger than my Hustle PBR (I used the same 1500 plus polish for comparison) and seems to carry better for me. The Burner Solid creates a very nice controlled shape on the lane when other polished balls are reading the dry too strongly. This ball will fit between my Hustle PBR (with polish) and UFO Alert in my line up. The core and cover create a very predictable motion which is nice on lanes that are wet dry or have stripped back ends. The Burner line is very easy for me to trust for motion and carry even with its lower price point. I have drilled this ball for various styles but my Higher Rev crowd is seeing excellent t results. I am not sure if any of the Burners will make it into the Match Maker Ball Demos but I would love to see that happen. The Burner line is a great option for bowlers who want much more punch than an entry level reactive ball or bowlers building a complete arsenal. This could be a great addition to a tournament arsenal. It has found a way into mine. Summary: The Burner Solid rolls like a higher priced ball. The control and hit of this ball are very good. The Color is nice and looks good rolling down the lanes This ball should work well for all styles of bowlers.

    Drilling pattern: 4.25 x 40 Pin position: Above and right of ring finger PAP: 4.5 over and 1 up One of my absolute favorite balls of all time was the old 900 Global Dark Matter (RIP) and since that ball I've been looking for something that can mimic (or at least come close) to the motion I got out of that ball. The Burner Solid is the closest in recent memory. A bit of a weaker solid (shiny) coverstock that clears the front and mid lane with relative ease but then has a much more rounded/slower back end motion. Being in an area where there is limited head oil I've been able to move in and circle the lane with this ball once a little bit of carry down had developed (seriously, the head oil feels like drops at times). This ball is a great value at the given price point with exceptional versatility and performance. Brent Ritchie 900 Global/Roto Grip/Storm staff

    Posted by Review on Aug 15th 2021

    The solid counterpart of the original famous Zen is here in the Zen Master. The solid version will provide plenty of overall hook to be used right out the gate. Meant for oil the Zen Master reads the body of the lane extremely well. The most surprising thing I found with this ball was it's ability to continue to hook down lane as the lanes transitioned and broke down. This ball is a little more overall than a Phaze 2 yet cleaner than a Axiom. As the lanes transition and begin to hook early we have 2 new options with the Burners; the solid and the pearl. If the back ends are crisp the solid will come into play to slow the ball down and control the back end. When a more skid/flip reaction is necessary the pearl could be utilized. The high rg low differential on these balls will provide plenty of control when there is a ton of overall hook on the lane front to back.

    The Burner Solid is a great piece for those who are just learning to hook the ball or for more experienced players who are needed a low end ball with a solid cover. Initially, this ball really reminds me of the Original MVP. You get a lot of bang for your buck here. The Burner Solid is earlier and slower than its compliment, the Burner Pearl, but this ball still clears the mid lane very well. So you'll see this ball read the lane a few feet earlier than the Burner Pearl and be smoother off of the dry. The Burner Solid comes shiny but I hit mine with a 1000 grit pad in order to bring the breakpoint closer and honestly to see if this ball would be near my Hustle PBR. The Burner Solid is way stronger off of the spot compared to the Hustle PBR so it forces me deeper on the lane. You can get both Burners for around $200 and along with an abralon pad, you'll have one hell of a two ball combo.

    900 Global Burner Solid Hey everyone, I'm back with another ball review, and this time it's for the 900 Global Burner Solid and In 15 pounds this ball is wrapped in the S62 Solid Reactive Coverstock and comes 1500-grit polished with an RG of 2.53, Diff of .038. Depending on the surface of the Burner Solid, bowlers will be able to use this on heavier condition all the way to a lighter condition. There are not many balls that can cover a variety of conditions, especially at an entry level price point. To give a comparison the 900 Global Burner Solid digs just a tad earlier through the front of the lane compared to the Pearl Burner. This two-ball release will be a nice transition when the "benchmark" balls are just too early. The Solid and Pearl will naturally be longer and stronger.

    I drilled this one 45X4X40 and all i can say is this ball is going to be a house shot killer!!! Very clean through the heads and get to the end of the pattern and looks to destroy the pocket. For a entry level ball from global its hits hard. With some added surface can see it doing some work on flatter patterns. Overall a great ball for both beginning bowlers and advanced when it comes to league night Tarik joyner 900 global staffer
