Speed at cameras 15.5 Review: Since the official embrace of Global into the Storm / Roto family I have had the pleasure to roll a few Global Balls and I have been very happy with each one. The one I seem to use the most in the Global family so far is the Reality. For me, the Reality has everything I like in a ball. It is strong but not too strong. It is versatile, forgiving and rolls well from different angles and the carry is exceptional. I would put this ball between the Roto UFO and Phase 2 or Ordinance C4 in total hook. What surprises me about the Reality is how I can seem to stay with it longer than most sanded Asymmetric reactive balls during a set while making only small moves. Some nights I can use it all three games which does not happen often in our home center. I have so much trust in this ball to shape and hit the way I like that if the lanes are on the oily side I can get the reaction I need. We had this ball at our last Match Maker ball Demo and it was very well received. We have had some Global fans at our shop for a while now but I see the momentum growing for this ball and the Global Brand. I am very happy I can now add Global to my arsenal and I am not sure there is a reaction the combination of these three brands cannot cover. Summary: The Reality is a perfect match of strong and control. The hit and drive through the pins is excellent. This is a great ball for league or tournaments.

First ball out of the bag in leagues and it will show me if I need to ball down. If you can usw a word like READABILITY this is the definition of this ball. Drilled with new standard pin up layout I see great skid in front with that READABILITY coming off the pattern. Strongest ball I have that can be used entirely in one set provided you chase the oil in and depending on the volume. I have as of this review 25+ games bowled on it. No surface change needed just typical labe shine and cleaning after each use. Being a low rev bowler at my age (58) speed matched, it's a pleasure to be able to use a high flaring ball without the DOA hits. The Reality carry percentage is high as it rolls consistently through the pin deck. The 2000 Abralon cover should take well if needed. This a ball taylormade for all styles searching for a high flaring ball that only looks good but scores well too.

Reality Review Cover: S84 Response Solid RG: 2.49 Dif:0.052 PSA: 0.018 PAP: 5 ½ x 1 ½ UP This is the first 900 Global ball I have ever thrown. I have a difficult time matching up with Asymmetrical balls. I am more of a down and In player with higher ball speeds and a lower rev rate (however recently I have worked on increasing the rev rate and lowering the ball speed) I was really surprised at how much this ball hooked. I really like the ball motion and how strong it is. I drilled this OOB 60 x 3 1/4 x 45. Which puts the pin above my ring finger kicked out to the right. I spend along trying to figure out how to layout this ball and I nailed this one. I left the cover OOB. Reality is smooth and predictable with a strong backend motion. It is earlier than the Proton Physix but still picks up well and does not burn up and has strong continuation through the pins. I have a hard time getting Asymmetrical getting through the pins without burning up and getting the right shape. I can move in with this ball and trust the ball will turn the corner. I have found the strong core/cover ball for the longer heavier oil patterns. This ball is a winner!

We tested the 900 Global Volatility Torque (an absolute beast) but did not do a review. I was able to win a senior tournament throwing the Volatility Torque fresh off the press. The Reality utilizes the S84 Response solid cover with the Disturbance asymmetric core. The cover and weight block complement each other well. The Reality was versatile during testing. The test bowlers were able to play multiple angles with the Reality on the house shot. I see the Reality as a 1b tournament ball that will be used when the Storm Proton Physix is reading the lanes too soon but the oil is heavy enough that you still need a surface ball. The Reality carried very well during testing. Everyone watching the test session said the same thing – "This ball looks like it is going to strike every time going down the lane".Visit your local Storm VIP Pro Shop to order yours.Continue to bowl up a Storm!#Stormnation #900Global

The low RG with the high Diff just calls for money of the S84R solid cover stock. Drilled this ball at a 40x4.5x20 and I found it to be super smooth off the break break not too jumpy for a 43 foot house shot. I can play the outside and play in and it'll find its way to the pocket. Also bowled on chronium for a tournament and ball preformed way higher than my expectation. Need a big block smoother ball in your arsenal this is the one!!!

The 900 Global Reality has a low RG value of 2.49 a high differential of 0.052 and a low intermediate differential of 0.018. 900 global came out with a new cover core combination of the S84 Response Solid Reactive and the Disturbance Asymmetric Core. The Disturbance 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 need. The S84 Response cover promotes up to 20% larger pore sizes which in turn ensures maximum traction on heavy oil. In addition, the Reality will rival the original Volatility with the S86R cover that was an asymmetric hybrid. In the videos you will see how the cover core combination comes together with an early revving motion in the heads combined with a strong backend reaction. In my bag the Reality will be the first out the bag for a heavy oil pattern and maybe on a fresh house shot depending on how much oil is in the mid lane. Then you can ball down to a 900 Global Zen to blend the wet/dry. I did a ball comparison to the 900 Global Zen, Storm Proton Physix and Roto Grip Rubicon. In comparison to the 900 Global Zen, the Zen will be a litter more smoother the mids due to having a symmetric pearl coverstock but a touch more reactive on the backend giving you an option to open up your angles. The Storm Proton Physix drilled pin down can give an option to ball down from the Zen when the lanes become a little dryer and more cliffed. The Roto Grip Rubicon will give you an option to use on the burn while being able to play around the same area as the other pieces.

This specific design is intended to maximize control with more hook potential then its predecessor the 900 Global Volatility. This ball is definitely the hook monster you are looking for, but with a twist....the Reality will allow you to continue to open the lane up as transition occurs. At times, my Volatility would tend to "quit" and my next ball down wasn't quite enough. The Reality should fill that gap on longer and higher volume patterns. You should expect a continuous, strong reaction throughout the lane. Also, 900 has kept the Int Diff lower on the Reality to achieve some length down lane so the ball as designed does not "hook at your feet" and "quit". This has been the wow factor of the Reality at recent Storm Matchmaker events. As previous noted above, the Reality will work best on longer and higher volume patterns. If your desire is to stay left before and after the lanes transition this ball will not disappoint. If you want the biggest hooking ball on the market today in your bag, this is the one! Don't hesitate to try out the 900 Global Reality today. Michael Slatky 900 Global Staff Member York, PA

Reality - Ball Specs Cover Stock: S84 Response Solid Finish: 2000 Abralon Core: Disturbance Asymmetric Layout: 60 x 5 x 70 RG: 2.49 Differential: 0.052 Intermediate Diff: .018 Review The Tour Engineered 900 Series all new Reality utilizes the incredibly strong S84 Response solid cover combined with the Disturbance Asymmetric core to give you the strongest ball in the 900 Global line. Yes, I believe its stronger and more versatile than the Volatility. I drilled my Reality pin down and was surprised how clean this high-performance ball was through fronts and how much energy it had down lane. I tested this ball on 44 feet typical house pattern. As a mid to low rev player, I see this ball being my first choice on heavy oil patterns. I was able to play outside five, the track area, and deep inside without any loss of ball reaction or pin carry. This is a great ball for all levels of bowlers.

I was able to move into 4th arrow and really open up my angles. I positioned myself trying to throw the ball to the right of the three pin where the range finders would be. When I got it going to the middle of the three pin, it went light swisher; a pinch right of that went flush. I'm not very technical but the entry angle wasn't very steep because the ball was going forward off the end of the pattern. That entry angle allowed me to carry most of the off hits. Strong balls like this also have downfalls. One downfall that I noticed is that when I got the ball to the right of the three pin too early, unlike our UFO's and Gravity Evolves, the Reality didn't lose enough energy to stop. Instead, it dead checked off of the dry and went through the nose. I think this ball is similar to Storm's Proton Physix. For most players, you'll use this ball on heavier conditions. I anticipate this ball to be really good on longer patterns when I need to keep my angles tight and towards the 1-3. The reality is one of the stronger balls in SPI's lineup. If you're bowling on low volume patterns or are a rev dominant player, you won't throw this ball all the time because of its strength. For players who are speed dominant or those who bowl on heavier volume house conditions, the Reality will be good to start tournaments or league with.

For a very long time, I have not been able to drill many big asymmetrical bowling balls as they like to burn up so quickly on me in the fronts and conserve zero energy down lane to get the 10 out. I found that with the new 900 Global Reality, I do not have that issue on anything I bowl on. I have been able to throw this ball on house, 34ft, 44ft, and 40ft flat and find a consistent path to the pocket to increase not only my strike percentage but score as well. The ball takes amazingly to surface adjustments and has zero issue getting through the front part of the lane clean to store energy to get off the end of the pattern. This ball needs to not only be in your tournament bag but in the bag you take for house as well.

900 Global Reality If bowling has been stale lately and you seem to be out of it. Do not worry just get this ball in your bag and you will see yourself snap back to REALITY! I was missing a strong solid in my arsenal and I have it now. Me personally with a speed around 15.6mph and higher revs I usually cannot roll solids because of how strong they roll for me, but I really enjoy how smooth and clean this ball is through the fronts. Still a strong ball for me but I can play deep than ever before without the crazy snap in the backend. Extremely controllable and fun to throw!

The 900 Global Reality is quite simply a monster for me. I have to have some oil up front for this ball to perform. I drilled mine 55x4.25.40 and it just digs in incredibly hard. I have it at box surface and I noticed I can pretty much get as far left as I want to, given that I make the proper adjustments with hand and speed. This ball absolutely doesn't miss the midlane and you can 100% count on it getting back. A big, solid, asymmetric bowling ball that will handle whatever amount of oil you throw at it. If you're looking for the strong hook monster, put this in your bag as your starter ball.

This new powerhouse is a combination of cutting-edge technology, with its Disturbance core and robust coverstock - the S84 Response Solid. The Reality is a THS bowler's gem. Let's take a closer look. Being more a down-and-in player, I was impressed with how the new Disturbance core delivered. Starting on fresh oil, playing straight and looking ten (second arrow), the core rolled with serious authority yet retained an intense amount of energy that detonated at the pocket! Further, the Disturbance core gave me a strong sense of security. When I leaked a few shots right, it recovered vigorously, kicking out those flat tens. Being a lower rev player, I like how this core "stands up" and maintains a strong continuation through the pins. This Disturbance core is by far a straighter player's best friend. Surface for me has become an integral part of front to back ball motion and I couldn't have asked for a more responsive cover than the S84 Solid on the Reality. The 2000 grit factory surface suited my overall game well, but I felt a bit shaky moving in beyond my comfort zone late in the night. The next night, I tweaked the surface to 1500 and I found my sweet spot with the S84 cover for the pattern. Early on I could play straight up looking at ten (second arrow) and by the third game I felt comfortable and stable at 15 (third arrow) up to 18. I found this cover provides strong traction throughout the lane without losing its potent bite off the pattern no matter where I played! In closing, 900 Global has done an outstanding job with the all new Reality. This ball is strong yet controllable and it unleashes power where it counts! For a straighter, low rev player like me, the Reality adds conviction to your arsenal! Talk to your local pro-shop operator today. The Reality is worth it!

The new hook machine from 900 Global is the all new Reality! This ball features the S84 Response Solid Reactive Coverstock wrapped around the Disturbance Asymmetric Core! This ball does come out of the box at 2000 grit which is fantastic for those heavier lane conditions! My Reality is drilled pin over my middle finger which is about 5 inches away from my PAP with the mass bias away from my thumb! Throwing this ball in tournaments around me is I'm very impressed with how much this ball rolls throughout the whole lane! The reality doesn't change direction as much as a UFO or Proton Physix but will roll more throughout the lane than those 2! Definitely like adding a different and really good shape for those heavier lane conditions! Head over to your local pro shop and get yours 1/29/21 to attack those heavy oil conditions!

This Reality is something else. The first solid big ball from 900 Global since switching over to Utah and it DOES NOT disappoint. I'm very pleased with what I see in my THS leagues. The Reality is very forgiving (similar to what we saw in the Flux) but gives me a couple more boards of overall hook. I also have seen since switching from Texas to Utah the cover does not lane shine as fast. I had trouble with my Flux after 9 games on some heavier patterns just get too lane shined and i'd have to put it away. This Reality doesn't has a big pair of snow tires on it. I can't wait to get out and bowl on the weekend on some of the tougher conditions with this rock. I drill mine with a dual angle of 65 x 4.5 x 40, a typical pin over bridge layout for me and my high track. I find myself being able to stay in this ball longer than the Flux and transition into a Volatility Torque with a similar layout or a strong Zen and have no problems keeping up with the lanes. This is the perfect tool I was missing in my bag from 900 Global since the merger with Storm/Roto and I'm very excited to have it now.

The Reality is the first Global ball i have ever thrown and I'm happy i did. I drilled this ball 45 x 3 7/8 x 30, the S84 response cover that is found on the Volatility torque just the solid version seems to be same motion as the torque just sooner. I drill like this for lack of hand and the need to have the ball to flare and rev up strong. I compared this new release to the Proton and the Phaze 2 and that it's weaker than the Proton, but a little stronger than the Phaze 2. I ended up sanding it to 1000 to get it to hook a little bit sooner since our shot is 44 feet. Overall the Reality is a great ball to go to when the Proton is hooking too soon or too much.

1st try with a Global 900 ball and was not disappointed! Impressive would be an understatement if you are looking for hook. Definitely at the top of the list. Stands out with its ability to change directions and its continuation on the backend. All styles will be able to use this ball at the top of their bag.

The reality is going to be a ball your going to see everywhere!!! Smooth rolling in the mid lanes and continues through the pocket. And talk about hitting power your going to see those pins fly or sure. I drilled mine 60x.5x30 and have played up the boards and have also played inside and the ball just keeps hitting. A great ball for that bowler with not a lot of revs and wants something to really move in the oil to high rev bowlers wanting to make that shape on long patterns a must have i feel. Bowling balls that would compliment it great i feel would be the zen, or volatility torque 900 global staffer

The Reality is the ball to have at the top of your bag. A lot of people like to compare it to the Proton Physix, but the Reality is a bit cleaner and has more backend. I believe for the tournament bowler, the Reality is something you need to have for the higher volume and longer patterns. Bradley Paynter 900 Global Staffer

The Reality is the first strong Asymmetrical Solid ball from 900 Global that is made under Storm Products. This ball doesn't disappoint. Although very similar to the Storm Proton Physix, it could be different enough to warrant having both balls. The Reality fits just below the Proton Physix for me in terms of total hook but it rolls forward a little more as well. If you are in the market for only one ball, the Reality can be a great choice if you are a 900 Global fan or prefer its colors. The S84 Response Solid Cover is very similar to Storm's NEX cover on the Proton Physix and can handle the heaviest of oils and the longest of oil patterns. Depending on how these lane characteristics are for you should be your determining factor to purchase the ball. Adam Chase Storm Staff

The Reality for me is by far the strongest motion I have ever seen, certainly from the 900 Global line. I bowl on a 41ft house shot with plenty of friction to the right. I normally play anywhere from 26 - 30 to start with my feet and like to see 13 - 17 at the arrows. The reality immediately forced me to get well left of 30 with my feet and 16 at the arrows was out of play, making me either go through the face or simply use its energy too quickly and it would go 2,8,10. Once I got my feet to 38 on a fresh shot and realized this ball loves to be around 20,21 board it started striking. Predictable huge motion but really wants oil. If you are a player with Higher ball speed or simply a lower rev rate and seems to need help around the corner at times, I would Highly suggest getting into a Reality by 900 Global.

Strong defined breakpoint and continuous This is a very strong ball. I feel this ball is as strong as a Proton Physix, UFO or the original Volatility. But, it has a different shape than all these. The Reality is a super heavy rolling ball that has a more defined breakpoint, changes direction quicker, and reacts faster to dry boards on the lane. It absolutely needs some oil to get down the lane. I felt like I could open my angles up more with the Reality than the Proton Physix and it would recover a bit more from misses to the outside. The Proton Physix and original Volitility were definitely smoother overall, but they all covered a similar number of boards. This ball is at the high end of the hook scale and would be your big hook/heavy oil ball. Ron D'Ambrosio Storm Amateur Staff #StormNation #SquadRG #900Global

The Reality is the first asymmetrical produced directly out of Utah under the Storm umbrella. Featuring the S84 Response Solid cover, finished at 2000 grit, and the Disturbance core we get the strongest solid asymmetrical to date from the 900 line. For those familiar with the Storm and Roto lineups this ball will fit under the Proton Physix as this is a whole lot of core with a tad cleaner cover. The Reality will compliment those medium to higher volume and length patterns.

If you know me then you know I'm a big fan of symmetrics. It's pretty rare that I rave over a ball with an asymmetric core but this is one of them! The 900 Global Reality is not a ball that hooks in the front part of the lane and bails down lane. It cleared the fronts with ease and continued through the pins better than most others. I compared the Reality to the Rubicon in my ball review, and the Rubicon picks up a few feet earlier and has an overall more rounded motion. I'm eager to put some shine on the Reality to see how far left I can move with it. It will be a ball that comes out of the bag directly after the Rubicon, RST X1, or Proton Physix depending on which one you have.
