900 Global Zen Soul Bowling Ball

900 Global Zen Soul Cover stock: S77 Hybrid Reactive Core: Meditate Core (Symmetrical) The Zen Soul adds hybrid version to the Zen line, landing somewhat in the middle of the Zen (pearl) and Zen Master (Solid). The Zen Soul was the first ball I drilled in my 2 handed experiment. For me, I would say my 2 handed drilled Soul is closer to my 1 handed Zen, vs my 1 handed Zen Master. Zen vs Zen Soul: Soul---a touch stronger, earlier, and smoother overall. The Zen was, and still is, a staple in many of my customers bags. The Soul will add a similar benchmark reaction with a little more strength. Comparing to other current popular pieces...it is a step down from the RST-x3, Nova, Reality Check and a step up from the Hyped, Electrify, Idol lines.

If you were on a fan of the original Zen as almost everyone is don't miss out on the Zen Soul. Definitely a perfect addition to the Zen Line. The Soul will start sooner, handle more oil, and create more hook but still retain the shape and reaction that made the original Zen so popular.

Zen Soul WWRD 5/27/22 This is a good Hybrid Symmetric piece that fits between the Zen and Zen Master. Good for medium - Heavy Oil Patterns. Gets clean through the fronts with a smooth backend motion. Video of my review is on my YouTube channel. PD0714

Well I finally had the chance to put this ball in my hands and I love it. Rolls very smooth for me. It reads the lane really well. Once you let go, you can watch it read the mid lane very well. Then when it hits the back end, it hits very well. The Zen is a great ball, goes a little longer mid lane and longer on the back end with more back end snap. The Soul reads a little sooner and rolls right into the pocket. The surface, I left it right out of the box. I wanna see what happens once it gets some lane shine on it. I have around 30 games on it and its holding up well. Never had to mess with the surface yet. It will be in my bag pretty much all the time lol!

Zen Soul Rev Rate: 375 Ball Speed: 15-16 mph PAP: 5 inches over, 1/2 inch up Layout: 55x5x65 The 900 Global Zen Soul is the hybrid family member of the Zen Master and Zen. With its S77 Response hybrid coverstock(two parts pearl one part solid), it definitely gives you the feel of both the Master and Original Zen. I found it to be more closer to the original Zen since the Zen Master had a very very strong solid cover. My original Zen came in in the 4K Fast, which had it a little too close to my Zen Soul to play them off each other, but once I added the the 1500 grit polish to it I saw the difference they were intended to be. The Zen Soul definitely has more bite towards the middle part of the lane and can be what one could want to start with out of the bag if the Original Zen is not enough on the fresh. Both balls are outstanding in the Zen line and can either be a great 1-2 punch or having one or the other depending on what you already have in your arsenal.

Storm Staffer Oliver Lawson here! The Zen is the perfect ball to help blend wet/dry and get into the burn. The Zen Master was a great ball to start out fresh and control the backend on tougher conditions (Much like a Phaze 2 for me). The 900 Global Zen Soul completes the gray area when the Zen is too clean but the Zen Master starts to burn up through the fronts. I Drilled mine 3.75x4.25x4.25 2ls to match the layout on my !Q Tour Solid. I found it to be clean through the fronts and pick up 3-4 feet sooner than my Zen, and it was more tamer on the backend. The Meditate core made popular in the Zen works very well with the S77 Response Hybrid coverstock to create a ball that blends out lane during the transition.

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) LOVE THE ZEN. It's one of my favorite balls of all time! Sometimes it isn't strong enough. Zen Soul solves the problem. The Zen Soul hits the mid lane just like the Zen and keeps on hooking. But since it's hybrid, it does it about 5 feet sooner. It's EXACTLY what you think it would be. Need I say more.

Drilled my Zen Soul with a 5 1/4 x 43 pattern putting the pin above and left of my middle finger. My intent with this drilling is for a heavy oil/stronger ball that will retain energy when more backend motion is needed. After throwing this ball, and comparing it go my Gem (which is drilled 55 x 4 3/16 x 45) they should be a pretty solid 1-2 combo on heavier oil patterns. The Gem is much earlier and tumbles so great for when you want to keep the angles in front of you, and when you need to move in and circle, that's where the Zen Soul comes in. I practiced on a THS and was probably about 5 and 5 different (could have likely gone even further) and the Zen Soul made a very strong, much quicker, move off the dry and drove through the pins. So when your strong balls, such as the Gem, starts losing hitting power and you are forced left, the Zen Soul will be a great compliment. Brent Ritchie SPI Staff Member

900 Global Zen Soul Layout: 40 x 4 ¼ x 40 The Zen Soul is the perfect complement to the original Zen; the Soul has a similar shape to the Zen, while being able to handle more oil. The hybrid cover of the Soul digs in to the midlane a couple feet earlier than the original Zen, and has a touch more overall hook. It is at home on medium to medium-heavy conditions. Due to the Soul not having too much early traction, I am still able to move left with it. Depending on what lane conditions you see, the Zen Soul could be the first ball out of your bag, and you could move to the first Zen when the Soul starts to see the midlane too quickly. If even heavier oil is seen, the Reality would fit perfectly above the Soul.

The Zen Soul features the same Meditate core that is found in the Zen and Zen Master but wraps a new S77 Response Hybrid coverstock around it. The new Zen Soul takes the best of its predecessors and combines them into one ball. Then Zen Soul can handle the higher volume and longer patterns as was the Master, however the Soul adds the backend reaction of the original Zen. And just like the other two Zen balls, this one has the same great hitting power and pin carry. In comparing the Soul to the Master, I have the Soul as about three to four boards less overall hook. This is mainly due to the Soul being much cleaner in the front part of the lane. So when the Master stops kicking out the corner pins and the Zen isn't strong enough to get to the pocket, the Soul will be the ball that will keep you striking.

The brand new Zen Soul from 900 Global features the S77 Hybrid Reactive Coverstock wrapped around the Meditate Symmetric Core! The Zen line has became a staple in my bag, whether it be league or tournaments, and the Zen Soul may be my favorite of the 3. Out of the box, it was one of the strongest symmetrical balls I had in my bag. It was very strong in the mid lane with a controlled backend reaction. I then shined it up, and felt like this was the best decision for me. It got it through the heads a little cleaner, still picked up plenty in the mid lane, with a bit more pop down lane. When comparing it to the OG Zen and Zen Master, it is the best of both worlds, with the mid lane of the Zen Master and the pop on the backend I came to love with the OG Zen.

The Zen Soul is the newest addition to the Zen line. Featuring the S77 response hybrid coverstock and the meditate core, this ball gave me a great middle ground between the master and original zen. It reads the mid lane very well along with giving a great recovery on the back end. This is going to be a great benchmark ball for my game along with being able to ball down to this when on heavier patterns. Alex Thomes #StormNation #StrikingWorldwide #SquadRG #Driven2Bowl"

900 Global Zen Soul Ball Review Hey everyone, I'm back with another ball review, and this time it's for the Zen Soul and in 15 pounds this ball is wrapped in the S77 Response Hybrid Cover and comes 4000 Abralon with an RG of 2.490 and a Diff of 0.051. Layout for this ball is 5x3x2 When this ball was first announced there was such a buzz about another ZEN coming out but where will it fall with the OG Zen and Zen Master still out there. Being that the Zen Soul is a hybrid it was easy to say that it will be directly in the middle. I have read many other reviews and watched many different ball videos for this one. Many had it closer to the OG Zen as others had it closer to the Zen Master. So how do you know where it will fit or if it is a ball that will fit your arsenal? First and the easiest way is to find a demo in your area. Second is to find someone that throws it closer to you with speed/rev rate and watch more of their reviews. Now I am a average speed with a low rev rate and I found the Zen Soul to be closer to the Zen Master as both balls had surface compared to the Zen. Now I didn't find them to be directly on top of each other, so I was able to keep the Zen Master and Soul in the same bag. When the Zen Master became too much, I was abler to move a couple of boards left and proceed with the Soul in the same area. The OG Zen having shine was "for me" another step down. All three of these balls do have the same shape and work well together.

900 Global Zen Soul Layout: 60 x 1 ½ x 60 Finish: 4k FAST Lane types and pattern types: HPL lane panels with Don Carter pattern and SPL panels with Wolf pattern. The Zen Soul was a great addition to the Zen line. I found in the past the OG Zen with 1500 grit was a little too snappy and unforgiving for me. Once SPI released the 4KFAST, I changed the surface and it gained more confidence in the OG Zen. The Master rolled WAY too early for my style of bowling, then entered the heart of the line up, The Zen Soul, with 4K FAST I was able to use it in a tournament setting, league and practicing. Well rounded ball with great shape early and late, unlike the Master that seemed to "give up" on me, I felt very comfortable playing the ditch with it, using it inside where the other lefties were not, ie: inside of 3rd arrow. The S77 Response cover was an excellent choice to match with the ZEN core. I'm at "peace" when recommending this ball to the average league bowler, they will get great control, a versatile ball that they can depend on week after week.

The newest addition to the zen the line is the zen soul. I drilled this ball 50 x 3.5 x 30 this ball allows me to see the mid lane andstrong shape off the spot. This is a great benchmark hybrid that can cover most lane conditions.

900 Global Zen Soul Cover: 4000 S77 Response™ Hybrid Reactive Core: Meditate™ (Symmetrical) Color: Teal/Fuchsia/Black Review: The Zen line has been growing in popularity since the original Zen was released. You may have heard someone say "Zen Ball Good", well Zen Soul Ball good too! The Zen Soul fits perfectly between the Zen and the Zen Master. The Zen Soul never leaves my bag and on is generally the first ball out of my bag on league night. This ball came with a 4000 finish on it, which gave it a very smooth reaction that give you plenty of versatility on the lanes. This ball has the versality to be used on all conditions from house shot to sport shot. This ball is going to be great in anyone's hands. If you haven't gotten yours yet go out and get yours today!

Core: Meditate Symmetric Cover: S77 Response Hybrid Finish: 4000 Grit RG: 2.50 (14 lbs) Diff: 0.051 (14 lbs) Right-Handed Tweener Speed: 12-13 mph Rev Rate: 315 PAP: 4 7/8 Right 3/8 Up Ball Layout: Pin Up 5 inch pin to Pap 2 1/4 Pin Buffer The Zen series has been one of the most successful ever. Starting with the clean controllable motion of the original zen and then continuing with the stronger earlier reading Zen Master. It was a no brainer to produce a hybrid cover to wrap the very successful Mediate Symmetric core. Enter the Zen Soul. This ball surprised me a bit with how aggressively it sees the mid-lane. For me it definitely runs closer to the aggressive earlier roll of the Zen Master. It is noticeably cleaner but felt much further for me from the original Zen. My best look with the Zen Soul is on fresh lane conditions. I do very much like it's continuation and I feel like I have a bit more miss room right with it compared to the Zen Master. My Zen Master was cleaner than alot of other i watched go down the lane, due in large part to my layout. I opted for a layout closer to how I had drilled my original Zen for the Soul and it definitely has a much earlier response by comparison. The upside is I feel like the Zen soul matches up very well with people who are a bit more speed dominant or have lower rev rates. It is a good first ball out of the bag and will let you stay with it until the fronts dry up, which is when you'll like the original zen better.

The 900 Global Zen Soul features the S77 Response Hybrid Cover and the Mediate Symmetric Core. The Zen Soul has a low RG of 2.49 a high differential of 0.051. To bring this all together, the S77 Hybrid coverstock which is two parts peal and 1 part solid, that was made to be closer to the original Zen then the solid Zen Master. The review is being done on a typical house shot 42' with 25ml of oil. The layout chosen was a 60 x 4 x 40 which will give you a strong angular arc reaction shape, normal transition time and a hook/set ball roll. With this layout the Zen Soul will be great on a variety of patterns such as a medium to long sport or a fresh house shot. I did a ball comparison to the 900 Global Zen Master & the original Zen. First up is the 900 Global Zen Master. The Zen Master features the solid S77 Response coverstock and Mediate core. The Zen Master is great for a long sport or fresh house pattern that has a lot of volume. The Zen Master is stronger by 3 and 1 left. Next is the 900 Global Zen. The Zen has the S77 Response Pearl cover and Mediate Symmetric core and a great compliment to the Zen Soul. You will see how the Zen Soul starts up quicker, but the original Zen will help you out when the Zen Soul starts to burn up leaving the flat 10. Here is a little tidbit with the Zen, the surface I used a 1000/1500 polish to have it blend out the lane better because at 4000 it was a on top of the Soul which defeats the purpose. In my bag, the Zen Master will be the first out the bag, followed by the Zen Soul, then the Storm Dark Code, the Zen, then the Hyroad Pearl.

The Zen family is a sign of succes for me. The 900 Global Zen Soul features the S77 response hybrid reactive cover and the Mediate core. When I saw this ball was a hybrid, I was Thinking that ball would fit in between the Zen Master and the original Zen and it fits right between them. The Zen Soul react a litle bit later on the lane as the Zen Master but has more shape down the lane off the friction. Compared to the original Zen, the Zen Soul is a bit earlier and smoother. The Zen Soul allows me to control the lane like two others with not too big reaction. 900 Global has made another great succes ball with the Zen soul. It's for sure, a ball that will follow me on the tournament road. #strikingworldwide #900globalquebec https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4ZG0L3j-Fw

900 Global Zen Soul Ball Review by PJ Haggerty As most of us know, the Zen series has been an extremely successful line produced by 900 Global. The newest addition to that group is the Zen Soul. While the masterminds in Utah were creating the Soul, they decided to use the S77 Response coverstock, but updated it in a hybrid form. I've noticed the Soul is cleaner than the Zen Master which rolls earlier and heavier, but not as clean and responsive as the Zen. After drilling two Zen Souls, I've noticed significant differences than the first Zen and the Master. The one I've had the most success with is drilled with the following layout: 4.5 x 4. This puts the pin above my ring finger and I've let lane shine change the surface. This provides me a ball that I can use after the Gem is too strong or starting to run out of gas, but before I need to go to an RST X2 to open up my angles. I'd all the response time "medium" on the Zen Soul. It's still somewhat responsive downlane because of the hybrid cover, but not as quick as an X2 or an original Zen. If you need a ball that you can use on multiple patterns and that compliments everything in the Storm, Roto, or 900 Global line, the Zen Soul should be the next ball you drill.

Is it too late to say that this is the best Zen in the line?! 900 GLobal is introducing the new Zen Soul. The Zen Soul has the S77 Hybrid Reactive Coverstock wrapped around the trusted Zen core. The two part pearl one part reactive coverstock gives players the perfect in between a solid and a pearl when it comes to the Zen Soul. The original Zen is a homerun. Very dependable and reliable shape for a strong symmetrical pearl. I bring that ball everywhere I go. The Zen Master however, for me, at times was a little too early and round and I could really only throw it for a short window in a block. This Zen Soul I can use to start and use longer in blocks if I'm looking for a benchmark shape to blend out the pattern front to back. I am really excited for this ball and can't wait to keep going to tournaments with it to test out its true versatility. Stop by your local Storm VIP Proshop and get your hands on this one fast!

The Zen Soul is the perfect blend of the original Zen, one of the best selling balls on the market still, and the Zen Master, one of the most controllable symmetric balls ever. The Zen soul is strong, smooth, and continuous. It hooks earlier than the Zen but continues off the end of the pattern better than the Zen Master. The S84 Hybrid coverstock can handle plenty of oil. If you're looking for a great step down from your big asym balls or a compliment to your Zen or Phaze 2, this ball is sure to fit in your bag!

Core: Meditate Symmetric Coverstock: S77 Response Hybrid Reactive Finish: 4000 Grit Abralon Hook Potential: High Length: Medium Lane Condition: Medium-Heavy Oil RG: 2.49 (15# ball) Differential: 0.051 Drilled 65°x 3.75x 15° My go to Symmetric layout same as the Zen Pearl this is the latest release in the Zen lineup. Much anticipated S77 Hybrid bridging the Zen Master and Zen to mere perfection. After 20+ games this ball for me is definitely stronger down lane with the same motion as the Zen and a better choice to begin league on the THS. With the Zen Master better suited for more volume with a greater midlane shape the Soul is much more controllable for me. Best reaction I have on 38-41ft patterns. Then I can ball down to the Zen. Possibly the best 3 ball arsenal in the 900 Global lineup.

900 Global Zen Soul Cover: 4000 S77 Response™ Hybrid Reactive Core: Meditate™ (Symmetrical) Color: Teal/Fuchsia/Black Review: The Zen line is quickly becoming a staple line similar to the Hy-Road or Phaze lines. This is a great addition to the original Zen if you want something that revs up a little quicker with smoother shape down lane. This is our current favorite hybrid out of the SPI collection It is incredibly smooth and the Meditate weight block really creates some continuous power through the pins. When comparing it to the original Hy-Road you can expect the Zen Soul to be slightly more forgiving if you miss left. Being slightly smoother down lane, it creates a bit more hold for us. With the shortage of Hybrid covers in the SPI line this is definitely a must have in your bag.
