900 Global Reality Check Bowling Ball

Reality Check S84 Beta Hybrid Coverstock Asymmetric Disturbance Core (2.49 RG, .052 differential, and a .018 intermediate differential). A hybrid Reality to land between the solid and the pearl. More versatile than the Reality, a little more smooth and stronger overall compared to the Altered. I have done well with recent Storm Brand Hybrids (love my Phaze 3, Nova, and X1). The Check can play as my strongest hybrid. Heavy house shots, this ball will look great. Could by a minor step down from the Reality or Proton Physix or a step up from most heavy oil pearls.

Another super release in the Reality line. The Check is good ball down from my original Reality. Cleaner and smoother makes it perfect for when the Reality becomes to much.

I was super stoked to throw this ball because I love the reality and altered reality. I drilled my reality check 50x4x25. I definitely like some surface on this ball. It is almost similar to what my phase 2 does for me. This ball gets down lane and is clean but strong off the spot. This ball works really well game 2 for me.

The new 900 Global ball release is the Reality Check. My favorite 900 Global ball of all time for me is the Reality. So when they released the Reality Check with a Hybird cover I couldn't wait till drill it. The Hybird cover is 2 part solid and 1 part pearl. I drilled the first one pin down with a 5 inch pin. Very smooth and predictable reaction for me. Its a couple feet longer than the original Reality as far as length. Also way slower response than the Altered Reality. So to me its a perfect fit in the line. I've been able to use on house and sport patterns with very good success. Its below the Reality and a RG Gem but stronger than a Phaze 2 or a Wolverine Dark Moss. I have drilled several Reality Checks in my shop for multiple different styles. Very good addition to the 900 Global Line. Brian Watson PAP - 4 up 1/18 MPH - 16 TILT - 17 RPM - 400

The Reality Check features the S84 Beta Hybrid coverstock and the Disturbance core used in the Reality. I am a huge fan of the Reality Check. The Reality is one of the great asymmetrical balls I have ever thrown and I feel like 900 Global captured the shape very will with the release of the Check. For those of you hoping that the Reality Check would just be a rerelease of the Altered Reality, THIS IS NOWHERE NEAR THE SAME BALL... If that is a shape you are looking for then I encourage you to read some reviews on the Roto Grip RST X-3... Now back to the Check! The S84 Beta Hybrid cover for me is the perfect blend of length and strength. It allows the slow predictable characteristic of the core that I love so much out of the Reality to be front and center but just at a different hook zone down lane. I will use this ball a ton on medium oil patterns or late in blocks at PBA tournaments. When I had to part ways with my Roto Grip UFO Alert, that left a huge hole in my bag, but now the Reality Check fills that gap very very well.

The newest addition to the 900 series line is the 900 Global Reality Check. The new Reality Check comes to us after the Altered Reality was banned in certain events by USBC. The Reality Check has the S84 Beta hybrid coverstock compared to the Altered Reality that featured the S84 Response Pearl Coverstock. I could definitely tell the difference between these two balls, the Reality Check is much earlier and smoother downlane. The Reality check is a smooth asymmetrical option that Global has been missing over the last couple of years. I think tha this ball will get plenty of play on all types of patterns. I think that this ball will be a good step down from a Reality when it starts to burn up. You can switch to the Reality Check and get the controllability you need in the front part of the lane while getting more down lane motion. This will be a ball you do not want to miss out on, go out and get yours today!

900 Global Reality Check Coverstock: S84 Beta Hybrid Reactive Core: Disturbance Asymmetric Layout: 5 x 5 x 3 I drilled my Reality Check with a pin above middle finger 5 x 5 x 3 layout which is also on my Reality and Altered Reality. These three balls really stair step well with the Reality being the superstar big ball and the Altered and Check being good transitional options when the Reality starts to burn up a bit and give that flat 10/4 pin look. I find the Altered to be better when you need a shiny poppy big ball that has length where the Check gives me Phaze 2 vibes with its strong, round motion. The Check also takes surface adjustments very well as I have had it anywhere from 4K Fast to 1000 and it doesn't miss a beat depending on your need. If you are in need of an asymmetric ball and the stronger Reality and Gem type balls don't fit your game or bowling center, give the Reality Check a look.

The ball all 900G ballers was waiting on. No disappointment with the reaction and results. It gives a different shape than the OG and Altered but same the same great carry and reliability. For me it was more of a benchmark ball, not great on the fresh depending on which lanes I was on. I liked playing the track in this building but was able to open up my angles once the lanes transitioned. More length and harder continuous roll off the pattern. Versatile for many styles I do like the 4k cover with lane shine as this ball fits under my Infinite Physix and above the Zen Master. Visit your local VIP Proshop Today.

I drilled my REALITY CHECK up at 50 x 4.5 x 35. This put the pin over my ring finger slightly and the MB right of my thumb about an 1". Out of box it wiggled too much down lane so I hit it with a 2000 pad to smooth that out. This has been a ball to go when my INFINITE PHYSIX is starting to go side ways too much at the spot. It also bridges the gap for me before the big pearls come out like the RST-X2 or DARK CODE. Get this one to fill a gap when you are in between stronger balls and big pearls are too over/under to go to comfortably. Also don't be afraid to change surfaces if the 4K-Fast is not to your liking.

I'm back with another ball review, and this time it's for the Reality Check and at 15 pounds this ball is wrapped in the S84 Beta Hybrid Coverstock and comes 4K Fast with an RG of 2.49, a Diff of 0.052, and a PSA of .018. Layout for this ball is 4 3/4 x 3.5 x 1 This was a fun ball to throw for me even though I never threw the OG one. I did match it up with the Altered and found the Check to be much cleaner down lane. My video I shot for this ball was thrown on a beat up shot so I can say that there needs to be more oil for this ball to retain its energy. I can see the Altered and the Check in the same bag as a step down from each other.

I was pretty curious about this one after it was announced. When the Altered Reality (Which I LOVED) was deemed not cool enough to be used in the USBC events, I couldn't wait to see what we would do with this core. Out of the box, I have to say that I was a bit let down. After trying to use it a couple of sets I put it away. Recently I got it back out, hit it with a quick wet 1,000 pad and WHOA! This ball was SO MUCH BETTER! I started with a ball that was too clean and didn't recover how I wanted it to a ball that read early enough to blend the wet/dry and never over reacted when it hit the dry and still stayed continuous! Do NOT give up on this ball if you find yourself in a similar situation. The Core is proven, the cover may just need a little tweak!

Feel free to check it out!) https://youtu.be/YQVguXgOf8Q The Reality Check is the hybrid family member of the 900 Global Reality series. This ball has a pretty, round shape that allows you to play straighter angles, but also allows you to open the lane up as you see fit. It fits perfectly in the middle of the OG Reality and the Altered Reality. It also can be used in whatever way you like...as a starting ball on fresh or as a step down from one of your stronger pieces in your bag. Go "check" this ball out at your local pro shops!

For me, The reality Check is an another success of the reality family ! Even if I didn't play a lot with the original Reality because of is big solid surface, I had really loved it and it's follow me when I go on te tournament road. However, last year I played a lot with the pearl version, the Altered Reality and I had a lot of succes with ! It was a really smooth and predictable ball. For this one, the Reality Check come with a hybrid surface and for me the reaction is really different of the 2 previous one. I drilled mine 50 x 5 x 40. For a assymetric ball, it passed the first part of the lane very well and keep a really biggest reaction on the entry of the pins. It will be for sure a good house shot and transition ball. This ball seems to fit many styles of play. https://youtu.be/Lql3qzY0984

This pin-wrecking machine combines the all-new S84 Beta Hybrid Reactive coverstock wrapped around 900 Globals' proven Disturbance Asymmetric core. And this winning duo of cover/core solidifies the Reality Check as the powerful next generation in the Reality line. So, let's take a closer look at how the Reality Check destroys a THS. The Disturbance Asymmetric core was developed in the original Reality and is a straighter player's best friend. I love how this core fights to "stand up" as it heads down the lane! And when it finds its "roll," the Disturbance Core unleashes powerful energy that crushes everything in its path. Further, being a straighter and low rev player, I can count on the Disturbance Core to get me out of trouble when I missed right or pulled one inside. And with its reliable motion and intense continuation through the pins, I can depend on the Disturbance Core to keep me in the game even when I'm not at my best. The S84 Beta Hybrid cover was an awesome surprise! I like how this cover gave the Reality Check a strong and crisp angular motion off the pattern regardless of where I played my line. On fresh oil, I liked how the S84 Hybrid cut through the heads easily without overreacting in the mid-lane. And when the S84 Hybrid exits the pattern, I loved how it created a well-defined angular motion I don't usually see when playing straight up the second arrow. Then as the pattern broke down, I enjoyed the security the S84 Hybrid provided as I moved in and opened my angles. I could count on the S84's predictability and crisp angular motion to help my challenged rev rate get to the pocket! And as a straighter player, when I can move in with authority like the S84 Beta Hybrid allows, I can elevate my game to a higher and stronger level! In conclusion, 900 Global has produced a striking winner with the Reality Check! And for straighter, low rev players like me, the Reality Check is a powerful new weapon to add to your arsenal. So have your local pro shop operator drill your Reality Check up today, tweak the surface to fit our game, and fire away! The Reality Check is that good!

The 900 Global Reality Check bowling ball features the proven Disturbance Core and the new S84 Beta Coverstock, which should allow for a more angular reaction. Everybody knows how good the Reality is, and I think the Reality Check is actually a very good compliment to the original Reality! I had lots of success with the pin-up Reality; so, I drilled my Reality Check with a longer pin-to-pap, pin up layout as well: 65 x 5 ½ x 30. I expected this ball to flare a lot and with this coverstock, I was hoping to get a responsive asymmetrical bowling ball for when I need to increase my launch angles. Honestly, I think I have achieved just that with this Reality Check. The Reality Check is probably one of the most responsive asymmetrical bowling balls I have thrown recently. The ball is quite clean through the front part of the lane and has a "quick" change of direction down lane, which is normally a bit unusual for a strong asymmetrical bowling ball. Medium to longer patterns that have a defined "hookspot" is where I see this Reality Check to be most useful. I also think that the Reality Check is great for centers that have high friction lane surfaces. Lastly, this ball goes through the pins really well for me! Want to see me throwing the Reality Check? What my video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/zoPx33adJ4A

Layout: 45 x 4 5/8 x 35 The Reality Check is one of the cleaner, most responsive high end balls that I have used in some time. Balls such as the first Reality or the Proton Physix roll quite a bit earlier, and even something like the previous entry in the line, the Altered Reality, I found to pick up sooner as well. The Reality Check ignores the heads and the front of the mids, but really digs in to the lane in the back half of the lane. It is a perfect step down from the dull high end choices, and a perfect stronger compliment to balls such as the Wolverine Dark Moss, Idol Cosmos, or the Night Road. It is right at home on medium/heavy to medium lane conditions.

Now that all 3 of the Reality balls are in my bag...I'm a happy bowler! The Reality Check is going to turn some heads! Very nice through the heads and very controllable on the back ends! Very nice add on to the Reality series being a Hybrid. After I got to put all 3 Reality balls on the ball return, I had a chance to toss them one by one and compare them. Now this is just a freshly oiled house shot. The Reality Check holds its own, it tends to hold its energy more at the end, and really loves hitting the pocket! Mine was right out of the box, and I love the way it rolls. I'm a right hander and when I was starting to leave some nice 10 pins...I actually moved left. I have to learn to move a little quicker lol! If you get one...your going to love it. I was pretty impressed.

The 3rd ball In the reality line has some big shoes to fill coming from its previous successors. The reality check in my opinion is living up to the hype with its clean ball motion and pop off the spot. This Ball fits perfect between my original reality and altered reality. If this ball is too smooth or too close to the original reality for you hit it with a 1500 grit abralon pad and polish it. Get to your local pro shop for this new piece by 900Global.

900 Global Reality Check Ball Review by PJ Haggerty The 900 Global Reality check is one of the latest additions to the 900 Series at 900 Global. After drilling and having a ton of success with the Reality and Altered Reality, I was excited to see the Reality Check being added to the line. The Reality Check uses the same engine as the previous Reality balls (Disturbance Asymmetrical Core), but the scientists at Storm tweaked the cover to create a quicker response time and more backend shape down-lane. I've drilled one Reality Check so far and love it. I've mapped it out as 5.5 x 5 x 70. This puts the pin in-between my bridge and middle finger and puts the mass bias just to the right of my thumb. Initially, I left the surface alone to see how it rolls, but have since used a 3000 pad to create a smoother shape and slow down the response time a little. I've had the most success using the Reality Check after my Reality starts to run out of gas, but also when asymmetrical balls are still going through the pins well and I need a ball to store energy. Also, when comparing it to other balls, I think it's earlier and more round than a UFO Alert and RST X2, but not as early as a Gem. I hope that helps give you a picture of where I see it fitting. If you need an asymmetrical ball that will store energy and compliments the rest of the line, go drill a Reality Check!

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 liked the Reality and Altered Reality and the Reality Check is a cleaner combination of them both. The Reality Check is a two part solid one part pearl hybrid that gets through the fronts very easy. There has to be some OIL for me to use my Reality or my Altered, but the Reality Check is clean enough to use right out of the gate. I can use it to get through the fronts but not go crazy on the backend, which is the perfect use for hybrids. If you're a fan of the Reality series, the Reality Check is a must have!

The 900 Global Reality Check features the new S84 Beta Hybrid Cover, the Disturbance core, and the surface comes at 4k-fast. The Reality Check is cleaner and gets down the lane further than the OG Reality. The shape is similar, but the OG Reality is much earlier than the Reality Check to me. Compared to the Altered it is not as sharp off the spot for me, a bit earlier, and has a smoother/round shape than the Altered. This ball will be a great step down from the OG Reality when it starts to pick up too early and you want to have a similar shape but need a ball to get down the lane further. Compared to the Infinite Physix the Reality Check is earlier and a good 3-4 boards stronger. Another great ball in the Reality line from 900 Global! Tobias Myers #900Global

f the first out my bag The third installment in the Reality line is the Reality Check. This ball has the new beta hybrid cover on it and compared my Altered Reality this ball really wants to sand up in the mid lane with a strong motion through the pins. I used 5.5 x 40 x 50 this ball is one of my bag in league or tournament play.

The Reality Check features the new S84 Beta Hybrid coverstock. This cover is supposed to be similar in strength to S84 Solid found on the Reality, but with more energy retention and continuation. My experience is just that: I can go more left to right with this ball and get it to continue, where the Reality demands straighter angles to be in play. The Reality Check is more useable on house shots for me, where the Reality shined on flatter/slicker conditions. This ball also compliments my Infinite Physix, as the Reality Check is earlier and rounder overall. Chase Valenzuela

The new Reality Check features features the successful Distrubance core wrapped in a new S84 Hybrid coverstock. This combination makes the Reality Check a very versatile ball on medium and heavy volume patterns. This new addition to the 900 Global line provides the same predictable ball motion as the original Reality but with a more continuous backend motion. Compared to the original Reality, the Check has a later breakpoint of about two to three feet. This makes the Check much more usable on a wider variety of patterns. While it may not be the first ball out of the bag on longer, heavy patterns, it will see more than enough play on the medium patterns. It allows me to keep my angles straighter early in the block and just keep chasing the pattern left as transition occurs. If you are looking for a ball that you will definitely get a lot of use out of, look no further than the Reality Check.

900 Global Reality Check Cover: 4k Fast S84 Beta™ Hybrid Reactive Core: Disturbance™ (Asymmetrical) Color: Black/Indigo/Maroon Review: 900 Global is really hitting the mark with their releases and we are excited for them to add an asymmetric hybrid to the mix. The Altered Reality really set a high mark and unfortunately is no longer allowed by the USBC. This ball is a monster hybrid, yet still holds the predictability and versatility like we see in the SPI brands. This ball really holds a lot of energy and continuation through the pins. This core simplistic yet beefy and we love it for that reason. We have seen a lot of success with some cover changes on this ball. 2000-3000 grit pads really change the design and shape for some of our tournament players and compliments their solid original Reality well. We look forward to drilling several of these bowling balls.
