900 Global Harsh Reality Bowling Ball

900 Global Harsh Reality: Tech specs: Disturbance Asymmetric core with all new A.I. technology with the all-new Reserve Blend 902 solid coverstock. Factory finished at 2000 grit and the ball has a HIGH flare capability. Ball layout: 4 x 5 x 2 3/8th – 2000 grit finish Bowler specs: 15.5 mph and rev rate in the 380’s and my is PAP is 3 ¼ and at zero up/down and tested on Pro-Lane at ABC North Lanes in Harrisburg, Pa. Having drilled the OG Reality, which to me had the roll and shape of a stronger version of one of my all-time favorite balls – the Roto Grip Epic Odyssey, I was excited to drill an even STRONGER version of the Reality. The prior 2 balls in the Reality series, the Altered Reality and the Reality Check were both hit or miss for me. Both of them were very “condition specific” for me. The Harsh Reality is THE strongest in overall core / coverstock I have ever rolled. A TON more energy going off the end of the pattern and entering the pin deck. It just might be “me” but I really do think I hit the ball hit the pins harder. More of a solid sound hit even on the half and light hits. The coloring for mine is really easy to see and read the ball roll and reaction, I can see the “creamsicle orange” and flat gray colors really well and the coloring has me see the reaction a good deal better than any other recent solids. The Harsh Reality is now the TOP DOG in my arsenal. My go to arsenal for the 2 different centers I bowl in, one center has Pro-Lane and the other center has really worn in HPL, are as follows: Harsh Reality, Attention Star, Absolute Power, Optimum Idol, Hustle RIP, and Lighting Storm spare ball / or Ocean Blue Ice Storm (depending on my mood that morning when I pack up and head out.)

The 900 Global Harsh Reality is a really good replacement for the original Reality. For me, is the perfect line that I like to play just front of me with a big oil conditions. The Harsh goes a little bit far on the lane and hit also harder than original reality. I also can play longer with even if the lane become dryer because the Harsh reality is able to continu to closed correctly to the pins when I goes left. Compared to the RotoGrip Magic Gem, this one read more the mid part of the lane and closed less harder at the triangle. I also compared the Harsh reality againts the 900 Global Xponent. The Xponent did average the same think but really less strong. If the you have heavy oil condition, the Harsh is perfect and if is more med oil condition, go with the Xponent. It can also each others were a good 1-2 punch complement. It can also be a really good choice for bowlers who doesn't have lot of rotation. For sure, the 900Global Harsh Reality will be my trustable ball for heavy oil conditions. #strikingworldwide !! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJQxB4Ev5L56n0H958rouPw

Designed for those heavier oil conditions, the Harsh Reality will be a go to on the fresh for when there is a ton of volume, length and/or lane tightness. I found this ball close to the X3, from Roto Grip, although with a bit more overall shape. I intend on utilizing this ball more on sport patterns when I need a big ball to get it to slow down sooner and control the lane. For the league bowler who is lower on the rev side this would be a good option to go if you like those big asymmetrical bowling balls.

Hey everyone, I'm back with another ball review, and this time it's for the 900 Global Harsh Reality. At 14 pounds this ball is wrapped in the 901 Reserve Blend SolidCoverstock and has the Disturbance A.I. Asymmetric Core with an RG of 2.49, Diff of .054, and a 0.019 PSA.. The layout for this ball is 5x4.5x2 This one I am very pleased with as I haven’t thrown A ball from this line, but something spoke to me. Using this ball on a high-friction lower volume of oil showed the strength of what this ball is capable of being. I can say for sure and you can see from the video that this ball needs oil. This ball is very chuggy and needs oil to stay on line. If you are a speed dominant player you could stay in this ball but for me with average speed and lower rev rate I haven't been able to get a full game out of this ball at league but, that allows me the knowing that it will be really good on a higher pattern and/or a sport shot. In league I use this ball in the track for about half a game then jump into the Attention Star and usually that ball I can stay in the rest of the night by making smaller moves to the left than I would have to if I stayed in the Harsh Reality.

I had just drilled up my Absolute Power two weeks prior and decided to drill this bad boy up to roll a little earlier than it. I have been blown away with how strong this ball is on fresh it just grips and continues through the pins. While both balls are strong, the Power definitely has a bit more length than the Harsh with a sharper backend. The one thing I have noticed is the AI Core Technology is truly a gamechanger with how the Harsh Reality gets through the pins. This should be a very popular ball on fresh or patterns with more volume.

Harsh Reality Cover Stock: 902 Solid Finish: 2000 Grit Abralon Core: Disturbance Asymmetric Review: The Harsh Reality is the latest addition to the Reality series. The Reality line has been one of 900 Global’s most versatile asymmetric lines to date. With the ability to cover a wide range of ball motions that covers most lane conditions, the Reality line has become a must-have in the bag. The Harsh Reality is the next big ball in that line. The Harsh Reality is the type of ball you pull out of the bag early when the lane conditions are that of a higher volume. This ball really likes to dig into the oil and make a strong overall motion. If you are looking for a new ball before the Open Championship look no further! Will Tefft 900 Global Staff Member will@parklanes.net www.900global.com

The Harsh Reality takes the core shape we all loved from the original Reality series and combines it with A.I. core technology. When you combine this more dynamic core with the 902 Solid cover, the result is the strongest Reality I've thrown. This cover creates more traction than the original, and even backends more than the Reality Check due to the A.I. core. This ball is gonna be my first choice on heavy oil conditions, and also a great option to blend out the "cliff" on those over/under house conditions. This strong solid asym is early, blendy, and surprisingly tippy. This ball outhooks all the soild asyms I've had in recent years. The DNA, Gem, and Eternity Pi are all overall weaker and less dynamic downlane than the Harsh Reality. -Chase Valenzuela

Harsh Reality Cover: 902 Solid Reactive Core: Disturbance + AI RG: 2.47 RG Diff: 0.054 Int Diff: 0.019 My layout: 4.25 x 4.75 x 2.5 The Harsh Reality is a big solid asymmetrical ball that I see working best on heavy to med-heavy conditions. The 902 solid cover on the Harsh is not quite as early as I was expecting, but still digs hard. It reads the fronts even in heavy oil without getting off line too quick. The AI plus the high diff of this big asymm core really shines, because it makes a strong medium response move down lane. I was expecting the Harsh to be more of a replacement of my original Reality, but the core definitely tips a bit harder. Because of this I will probably keep mine at 1000 - 1500 grit as my go to finish to best fit in my bag. Bowler stats: Left handed PAP: 5 x 1/4up Rev rate: 400
