900 Global Reality Bowling Ball

(49 reviews) Write a Review
The ALL-NEW Reality™ brings a solid version of the incredibly strong S84 Response™ cover to the table. Combined with a revolutionary core, the Reality will be the strongest ball 900 Global offers! The S84 Response solid cover utilizes a technology that promotes up to 20% larger pore sizes. By offering this cover in a 2000 Abralon™ finish, we have ensured maximum traction in the heaviest of oil. The Reality will rival the original Volatility™ in terms of overall hook. The Disturbance™ Asymmetric core creates asymmetry by having differing shapes on the bottom and top of the weight block. This core was designed with a focus on a shape that will fill a space with the least amount of material, yet still yield the RG/Diff values that all bowlers demand. Radius of Gyration (RG): 16lbs - 2.48; 15lbs - 2.49; 14lbs - 2.50 Differential (Diff): 16lbs - 0.052; 15lbs - 0.052; 14lbs - 0.052 Intermediate Differential (Diff): 16lbs - 0.018; 15lbs - 0.018; 14lbs - 0.018

    900 Global Reality Disturbance Core S84 Response Cover (Solid) The Reality instantly found a spot in my heavy oil bag. Currently the strongest ball (for me) under the Storm/RG/Global umbrella. After 12 games, I started to see a little lane shine and the ball started to add some versatility. I can use this ball on a fresh medium-heavy house shot for about 2 games. Most strong, asymmetric solids (for me) are too much for any house shot. The current 900 Global line is fantastic. Adding the Reality to my Zen and HB Intensity makes for a killer 3 ball combo. When the lanes are flooded and you are having issues getting to the pocket, make sure you give the Reality a look!!

    The new 900 Global ball is the Reality. Global' s new big ball, with an asymmetrical core (Disturbance Core) with a solid cover (S84 Response). The Reality has been a huge hit with bowlers at our Storm Matchmakers and has been a top seller for 900 Global! I drilled mine with a 5 inch pin down drilling and added some Storm polish on it. Usually the big Asymms I have a hard time using with my roll, but this Reality with the polish added I was able to use it on multiple patterns including house. very versatile ball for a big ball. I have it under a Proton and stronger than an Axiom. For me its not as early and has a very round shape downlane. Just drill it with your favorite drilling!

    Reality is the first Global 900 ball that I have drilled and def will be drilling more. This big asymmetrical ball is a hook monster. Ball reads the fronts very well and continuous down lane. This ball is wrapped with the S84 response cover and has seen a lot of action on a variety of patterns. This ball is very versatile and a def keeper in my tournament bag.

    Reality is, This Hooks!!! The 900 Global Reality is the ball that gives you the most overall hook potential in this brands lineup. It's a big core ball with the aggressive solid S84 Response coverstock. Its smooth, reads the lane from front to back but very strong continuous motion. When it gets too much early, I switch to the Zen to get down the lane. If it seems to be too much too early, you can also shine it. That always gives me the length I need to get thru the front part to save energy on the backend. If I bowled on more oil or on flatter patterns then I would keep it at the factory 2000 finish. My PAP is 5-1/8 and 1/8 up. Usually around 15-16mph, I'd probably be classified between and tweener and cranker.

    By far, one of my favorite Asymmetrical Solids solids to date! 900 Global introduces the Reality! A strong asymmetrical solid that doesn't read the lane too early and retains a lot of energy going through the pins. This ball can handle a TON of oil and is a very versatile piece. I have thrown this ball on multiple patterns, and for me, the best time to use it is on the fresh on medium to long patterns with some volume. This ball gives me a lot of confidence on the fresh and knowing that it is going to hook from anywhere, especially when the lanes haven't really transitioned yet, gets the arm swing loose and relaxed. Get your hands on arguably one of the best balls on the market right now at your local Storm VIP Pro Shop.

    Cover: S84 Response Solid Core: Disturbance Asymmetric Finish: 2000 RG: 2.49 Diff: 0.052 The Reality is the new Hook Monster from 900 Global. What can you say about this other than WOW. I have yet to find a shot that this ball will not hook on. I thought my RST-X1 hooked, The Reality is at least 5 more boards for me. My biggest issue with Asymmetric balls is they mostly burn up too early with no finish. The Reality not only hooks up front, but also in the midlane, as well as the backend, with tremendous pin action. If you are looking for hook ball, this should be your first option, hands down.

    Global 900 Reality - S84 solid reactive coverstock - Disturbance asymmetrical core 2000ab grit factory finish - layout - 70 x 6 x 35 My first Global 900 ball turns out to be a blast of awesomeness! When I saw the picture of the core, I instantly contacted Mike Sinek, staff manager for SPI, that this was going to be a HOME RUN! The core is very similar to the RG Epic Battle from a few years ago and I scored a TON with that ball. Fast-forward to 2021 and found the Reality to be super in length and holding a ton of energy into the pocket. Pin carry was exceptionally well. The motion all the way down the lane was very subtle and not ultra violent. An Asys ball that still can be a benchmark ball for mid to heavy volume patterns may it be house or sport conditions. very similar to the Roto Grip RST-X1, just a little smoother in pocket angle. Thanks again to Bret Bowlers' Supply, Inc and Vise Inserts for their constant support and tutoring... #SquadRG #3Gshoes

    Ball Specs: 900 Global Reality Cover: 2000 S84 Response™ Solid Reactive Core: Disturbance™ Core (Asymmetrical) Color: Magenta/Aqua/Midnight Blue Review: First off, this ball looks very nice on the shelf... Secondly, it hooks A LOT! Be prepared to move left and open up the lane with this beauty. This ball can be compared to the Proton Physix by Storm. If you are experiencing a long oil pattern or just like to send the ball out and watch it come roaring back, then this is the piece to put in your bag. Tournament players with high ball speed will also love the look this ball gives them on the lanes. There is not many bad things to say about this ball. It is very smooth throughout the lane and really packs a punch! Kyle & Joel Johnson 900 Global Pro Shop Staffers joel@parklanes.net kyle@parklanes.net www.900Global.com #GoGlobal

    WoW !!!! This ball is really not afraid of oil! It's THE ball that I will use in first when I will hearing the word oil for sure !! It's a huge benchmark ball. The Reality reading perfectly the first part of the lane with his super strong S84 RESPONSE cover and his DISTURBANCE ASYMMETRIC CORE and continu the same smooth motion to the pins. For me, The Reality is really clean and smooth, so easy to play with no over react at the end. It's perfect also for the low rev player. Another great #900Global product !! You need one !! #strinkingworldwide #900globalquebec

    The New 900 Global Reality is very eye catching, the colors are vibrant and really pop! I was excited to get the new reality into my hands as I was looking for a strong asymmetrical piece in my bag, and the reality did not disappoint at all. This Ball is definitely a go to on my Men's League which is normally a Heavier Volume House shot and this ball Performed Exceptionally well and had no trouble digging in to the fresh sauce applied to the lane. If you are looking for a Strong Rolling Ball that is smooth and continuous on the backend look no further. The New Reality Lives up to the hype around it, Get yours at your local Storm VIP Pro shop Today!

    Reality I have been so impressed by the Reality. I drilled it 45x4x20 and man does this ball hook! If I had to describe it in one sentence, I would say it's a high-end, solid, asymmetric ball that hooks a ton WITHOUT being a big snow tire... which is hard to do! I think Global hit a homerun with the Reality and I have seen a lot of them on racks in tournaments which speaks volumes to me. Go get one, it's that good!

    The Reality from 900 Global is the first ball without a bolt or star on the label that I have used since 2001. That is 20 years! The Reality has a big asymmetric core called Disturbance, and is wrapped in a solid coverstock called S84 Response and comes from the factory with a 2000 grit abralon finish. The numbers in 15lbs are 2.49Rg, 0.052 differential, and .018 intermediate differential. This is the strongest ball that 900 Global has produced to date. I drilled Reality 4.5 X 3.5 X 2.5. This is the same layout that I have on my pin up Rubicon. With the out of the box finish on a freshly oiled 41 foot house shot, and comparing to a fresh 3000 surface on the Rubicon, the Reality is a little less responsive in the heads of the lane even though it has more surface, picks up in the midlane stronger, and has more forward roll through the backend of the lane. The Reality seemed to blend the fresh pattern a little better than did Rubicon ( Rubicon was a tad flippy on the backend comparably), because Reality slowed down sooner. As the lanes break down, the lower surface grit of the Reality makes it see the transition sooner than with the Rubicon, and I have to move deeper on the lane, and make moves more frequent to keep up with the oil depletion that is taking place. I usually only use this type of layout when bowling on house conditions that have a puddle in the middle, as it helps me blend out the pattern and keeps me inside the oil line and staying away from the dry boards, outside. One note of interest so far is that the cover has seemed to hold the factory surface very well, and has not really lane shined too quickly. The way Reality reads the lane is different than what I have become accustomed to with my Storm and Roto Grip bowling balls, as a whole. The fact the Reality is a little easier through the heads and picks up in the middle of the lane while not being as responsive at the breakpoint, will be a big plus to compliment what I already have in my bag, moving forward. I definitely am looking forward to this exciting opportunity to use 900 Global bowling balls! Thank you for reading my review of the 900 Global Reality!

    The new 900 Global balls have been consistently great, and the Reality is no exception. It is not quite as aggressive overall as the Storm Proton Physix, but it is the strongest 900 Global ball that has come out of Utah thus far. That being said, it is just a small step down from the Proton. It has a very strong midlane roll which allows it to handle heavier oil conditions easily, but it is a little bit cleaner than some of the other higher end bowling balls. This allows it to handle transition easier. You can keep moving left with this ball until the head oil gives way, at which point the Zen or Honey Badger Revival come into play.

    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: 5 x 4 x 2 1/2 Dual Angle Layout: 50 x 5 x 40 The Reality is a clean versatile solid asym from 900 Global. Usually big solid asyms roll at my foot and don't do much. They sit in my bag and wait for a "puddle" that I don't ever see. The Reality is clean and continuous enough that I can use it on more medium patterns. This ball has been out of my bag a lot both on tougher patterns and on some easier. If you're like me and wanted a more medium solid asym, the Reality is a no brainer!

    Ball Specs Reality Cover: 2000 Grit, S84 Response Solid Weight Block: Disturbance (Asymmetric) Color: Magenta/Aqua/Midnight Blue Review: If you want a ball that can hook a lot, look no further. The Reality is a ball that will never be described as a ball that doesn't make a big movement on the lane. This ball is a great heavy oil ball that will really cut through the oil on the high-volume patters. I wasn't able to use this ball on a typical house shot because it was just too much ball., but it is kept in my tournament bag for when I run into those high-volume patterns. When throwing I got a nice smooth reaction that will store energy for when it hits the pins creating a nice pop when it does. When comparing this ball to other balls in my bag it is hard to tell if the Reality or the Proton Physix is the strongest ball in my bag at this time. Both of which are great option, if you're looking for something a little different then the Proton Physix get yourself a Reality today!

    Reality..... the first EVER global ball I have throw and man it didn't disappoint!! This baby is a hook monster on my first shot I kinda guessed where I might need to stand according to my other big hook balls. I had to move about 5 boards left from where I started. I put the Reality to the test VS the Storm Proton Physixs ( one of my favourite recent releases). When comparing the two I found the reality was more continuous through the pins and had overall hook of about 3 more boards then the Proton. I definitely had a lot more miss room to the right of I leaked it out the reality would still come back and make the corner where the Proton would just loose to much not recovering. I'm super excited to put the Reality to the test on long patterns I think this thing is going to kill it. For my first ever Global ball definitely exceeded my expectations!!!! 5 star Ball

    The Reality is the newest, high end Asym., from 900 Global. This ball comes from the factory with a 2000 grit finish on the S84 Response Solid cover. When I drilled this ball I was looking for a bigger Asym. where I could really keep my angles more in front of me. While I do have some balls that do this, they really labor once I have to open the lane up a bit...NOT THIS BAD BOY! I was pleasantly surprised that I could keep opening my angles and this ball would keep coming back! The Reality is quite a bit more versatile than what I first imagined. like most asyms for me, it did reach a point that I needed to ball down to get more shape down lane. This balls is very useful on the fresh as it blends the wet/dry well. It also takes to surface changes well, I hit this one with a 3000 pad just to smooth it a touch. The Global balls out of Utah have been Outstanding! I suggest you give them a try!

    PAP: 4 7/16 right by 1/8 up Layout: 50 x 5.5 x 50 Speed: 18-19 mph off my hand, 16-17 mph on the monitors Revs 400-450. I had the pleasure of throwing this ball for the first time on the PBA 48 foot Shark pattern. This ball definitely does not disappoint. Its very clean but still early enough to grab the lane in heavier volumes. This ball is definitely the strongest ball in my bag and even on the shark, I had some miss room to the right as the ball stores enough energy to make it back to the pocket but still held when I tugged it. On a THS this ball is just too strong for me at the centers I bowl at but will definitely be in my bag for longer patterns and shorter heavier volumes.

    Cover: S84 Response Solid Core: Disturbance Asymmetric Finish: 2000 RG: 2.49 Diff: 0.052 ME: Right-Handed Tweener Speed: 12-13 mph Rev Rate: 315 PAP: 4 7/8 Right 3/8 Up Ball Layout: Pin over ring 60 X 5 1/4 X 30 900 Global's new 900 series release is called the REALITY. It features a powerful asymmetric core with the new S84 Response cover. Response is a great name for this type of cover. This ball digs in immediately and keeps coming. I made two attempts at using the REALITY in my normal league, but I didn't want to play 5th arrow on the fresh so I put it away and waited. There's a pattern league that bowls in the middle of the week and I used their open pair so I could throw the Reality on the 45 ft PBA Dragon Pattern. I spent a little time watching the league bowlers get the ball right and take 3 off the right. I threw my first couple shots from in trying to trap it from getting right of 12 down-lane. Then a funny thing happened, the ball went high. I got the next one out to 9/10 and struck. I was surprised to say the least. I decided to see if I could play straighter close to the Out of bounds area. I had to up my speed a little but It was fantastic. I had miss room on both sides thanks to the strength of the ball when I got it right and the length of the pattern when I missed in. Once I had a chance to see the strength of this core on a higher volume pattern I decided to adjust the cover so I could try using the Reality again in league. I took the cover up to 5000 and took it back out game 1 of league that week. The ball would clear the front but that core strength still kept the ball hooking. I was able to use the ball the first two games and actually shot my high series of the year. The ball keeps its rounder, controlled motion off the back but still continues and hits like it did with the duller cover. The 5k cover just allows the ball to clear the fronts where there isn't as much oil.

    900 Global Reality Ball Review by PJ Haggerty Recently, news came out that Storm Bowling Products purchased 900 Global and that also meant the staff players could throw 900 Global equipment. When this news broke, I was excited to add more equipment to the arsenal and immediately wanted to drill a Reality. The Reality is found in the 900 series and is considered the "heavy oil" ball in the Global line up. With numbers coming in at 2.49 (RG) and differential of .052, the Reality is a perfect ball for longer / heavier volume patterns. I've drilled one Reality so far and really like it. I mapped it out as 4 ½ x 4 x 75 and left the surface alone (2000) and it rolls great. I've had the most success when my angles have been in front of me and I can get my hand up the back to tumble it, which has worked on so many different pattens. I also like using the Reality as the first ball out of my bag to see what the pattern looks like. I also know that there's a ton of balls that compliment the Reality such as: Hyroad Max, Idol Synergy, Axiom. If you need a big, asymmetrical ball to tackle multiple patterns, the Reality should be the next ball you drill!

    introducing the brand new hook monster from 900 Global...the Reality! The all new Reality features the S84 Response Solid Reactive Coverstock wrapped around the Disturbance Asymmetric Core! The Reality is a great ball for heavier lane conditions and, compared to my UFO or Proton PhysiX doesn't change directions as drastically as those 2 but, has more roll throughout the lane than those 2 as well. The Reality definitely has a different shape for the heavier lane conditions and, will fit very well with the UFO and, Proton PhysiX! It is a must in your arsenal!

    This Ball is is a beast! This ball for being a big asymmetrical dull ball gets through the fronts and has something off the spot. not like typical asyms that will hook early and roll. This ball will be great for high speed players. This is 900global newest and strongest ball and if you're a global fan you won't want to miss out on this Monster! Get to your local pro shop to go get this piece!

    Let me tell you...wow this ball hooks really nice indeed! I played a little deeper with it out of the box standing 25-35 tossing 15-20 at the arrows and out to 8-10. It was nice. BUT, for me, as it got some lane shine...I actually liked it a lot more. Gives me a little more room. So I actually can make my adjustment a little slower as the night went on. It is one of my favorite balls indeed!

    900 Global Reality Layout - 55 x 5 x 30 This ball is crazy strong! For me I have it between the Proton Physix and the RSTX-1, its the best of both worlds! It is cleaner thru the front like the X1 but just as much hook as the Proton Physix. This ball is best used on fresh heavier longer oil patterns! Speed dominant players - this ball is for you. This is the biggest baddest 900 Global ball, should be the earlier stronger version of the Volatility Torque. I think this ball will be thrown quite a bit on tour!

    The 900 Global Reality might change your perception of what it means to be a strong asymmetric solid. S84-Response Solid (seen in pearl form on the Volatility Torque) wraps the outside with a 2000-grit sanded surface, and the unique Disturbance asymmetric core provides the motor. This ball seems to be very wonderfully balanced for the category - a strong amount of traction in oil (but not too much), defined transition through the hook phase (but not too much), good recovery downlane (but not too much). The fact that this one has seen instant and widespread adoption on the PBA Tour when big money is on the line says quite a bit! If you really like the rolly nature of the Crux series or the Proton PhysiX, this should absolutely merit your consideration!
