900 Global Sublime Bowling Ball

As usual buddies never disappoints. I called them told them what I was missing in my bag. They recommended this ball and next thing you know out the box 743 set.

900 Global Sublime Ball Review Bowler Stats: Speed: 15.5 MPH Rev Rate: 250 RPM Tilt: 6.6 degrees Axis Rotation: 80 degrees PAP: 4 5/8 over 1 5/8 up Layout: 5 X 4 X 3 ½ VLS Video Ball Review: https://youtu.be/fV0X8xFob7k With the release of the new Sublime and the removal of the original Zen from the line I was expecting this ball to replace it. The new A.I. technology has been added to the core to have a lower RG and a higher Diff. For my rev rate category the balls are usually earlier and slower down the lane. I decided to try a new layout to help build an arsenal for the PBA 50 patterns so the higher pin buffer lowers the pin to a pin down type of layout for my axis rotation. The 802 hybrid cover stock with the Reacta Gloss finish made the ball very clean and not as smooth off the dry as I would have liked. I removed the polish with a 2000 abralon to smooth out the shape. Due to the design of the core and the layout I used, the ball seemed confused the more I rolled it. The stronger core made the ball read the lane earlier than I would have liked and the cover looked too weak to play in the oil but too strong to stay in the dry. I’m noticing with my rev rate category and balls with A.I. core tech I have to use higher pin placements (lower pin buffer) to help the balls get down the lane and react properly off the end of the patterns.

Orientation: Right Handed Rev Rate: 400 RPM Speed: 16-17 MPH PAP: 4 ½ over and 1 1/8 up Location: Enterprise Park Lanes, Springfield MO Pattern: High Volume THS VLS Layout: Layout 1: 4 5/8 x 4 x 2 ½ (pin above bridge) Layout 2: 4 1/4 x 4 x 4 1/8 (pin below bridge) The Sublime is a cleaner AI hybrid symmetrical. It’s a great benchmark ball that does a little of everything. The hybrid makes it blendy, the AI makes it blendy but it’s also clean and a good amount of hook downlane. I like my Zen Gold Label but it’s too clean and snappy off the spot. The Sublime is more controlled even though it responds well to medium or light transition. The Sublime is the perfect benchmark AI Hybrid from 900 Global.

900 Global Sublime Cover: Reserve Blend 802 Hybrid Cover Core: Immersed A.I. Core RG: 2.47 RG: Diff. 0.056 Finish: Reacta Gloss Fragrance: NA Rt. hand Speed 14 MPH PAP 3 7/8 1/4 over Drilling: 5 1/4" x 4 x 3 VLS The new 900 Global Sublime with its 802 Hybrid blend coverstock is the first Global ball to use Storm's A.I. core technology. The Immersed symmetric A.I. core really gives this ball motion on the backend to open up angles for many styles of bowlers. With my softer speed 14mph I have left the Sumblime's Reacta Gloss cover intact and I have to say this is a powerful ball for my style. I am not only able to square up in heavier patterns but also move into deep angles without any fear of too much skid. Any some have commented its more than the orginal Zen, it is. Its backend motion for me is easily 5-6 boards more than the Zen. Where the Zen had a tendency to go forward the Sublime wants to snap. The positive of free skid from the Reacta Gloss cover knowing this ball is going to read on the backend gives me extreme confidence. It's been a 230-game ball on bad night on the typical house shot. Sublime is a must have for anyone's bag. This ball is a game changer and with the addition of the Harsh Reality in 900 Global's line up they have powerful mix of what you need in your arsenal. #GoGlobal Joe Arvai 900 Global Pro Shop Staff Member

The Sublime is an intriguing release from 900 Global that features The Immersed Symmetric A.I. Core and the Reserve Blend 802 Hybrid Cover, finished with Reacta Gloss. I actually think this is a very useful bowling that creates a little bit of a different ball motion. I drilled my Sublime with my usual pin-down layout: 55 x 4 3/4 x 75. The low RG of this core definitely makes the bowling ball rev-up quite early. However, the cleaner coverstock helps the bowling ball get down the lane easier. My Sublime creates a smooth and pretty “rounded” ball motion that I am able to use on multiple oil patterns. I think the Sublime compares with the Storm Summit Peak with the Sublime being an alternative to the Summit Peak. I think I will be using my Sublime mainly on medium patterns; especially, on lane surfaces that are very worn, which we see a lot these days. I think this bowling ball can be good during pattern transition when a little bit of a hook-spot develops but you don’t need a smoother reaction of the dry part of the pattern. I can also see the Sublime working well on fresh patterns that have some friction built-in them from the beginning.

Welcome to one of the best transition balls on the market. With the inverse AI core wrapped around the weaker 802 Blend. Allows the ball to be clean through the fronts, pick up in the mid lane and be angular but controllable off the spot. This is a great ball down when the bigger asymmetrical pieces begin to get to early or forward.

I am a higher speed, rev challenged 220-250ish, high tilt, high rotation, and super low track player. I drilled my 900 Global Sublime 5.25 x 3 x 1.75 using Storm VLS and my axis point is 3 ¼ right and 7/8 up. The 900 Global Sublime is a symmetric A.I. Core hybrid that I like for medium to heavy oil conditions. The lower RG, big diff, and medium- high flare potential creates good shape and power through the pins.

900 GLOBAL - SUBLIME Patterns used for review are HP modified. Pattern A: 39Ft, 28.00 Mls, 3:1 ratio SPORT Pattern B: 43Ft, 29.86 Mls, 5:1 ratio MODIFIED HOUSE REVIEW DRILL – 4 X 4.5 X 4 PLAY The SUBLIME is a ball you use when trying to smooth out down lane reaction and not give up too much power. Pattern A: Out of box the SUBLIME actually tricked me at first. Set out on fresh sport. Initially I had over and under, as I searched for a consistent line. Too early or too late was the initial thoughts. Waited for next group to jump in and transition the pattern. This is where the SUBLIME had better results. The pattern hit mid lane friction and the SUBLIME capitalized on the initial pattern transition read, move towards the pins and smoothed out for the finish. Pattern B: Out of Box SUBLIME jumped all over this. Initial line was 12-5 and migrated in to finish with 17-10 and 17 to 5. No problems with volume of oil due to two oils used and friction right. Ball control for the pattern was easy. Wasn’t speed sensitive or jumpy off the spot. Typical house moves on a higher volume than most places. High scores and Big angles. LOWDOWN: When playing the fresh with OB play from the right baby swing angles and move in. If high rev player, jump in quick. Tweener have the whole right side on house patterns.

The Sublime from 900 Global is one of the newest additions to the Batch 800 Blend and it’s been impressive so far. The R&D experts in Utah created a new Hybrid Cover (Reserve Blend 802) along with a new core (Immersed Symmetric A.I.). This new technology has provided us as players with a sweet rolling symmetrical ball that’s been useful on multiple surfaces and patterns. I’ve drilled one so far and think it rolls great. It’s mapped out as 5 x 4.5 x 3. This puts the pin above my ring finger and a stacked CG. I also adjusted the surface a bit with a 3000 pad by hand. Because the RG is so low (2.47) and the differential is strong (.056), I wanted to knock the shine off to slow the response time a bit. I bowl in a center that hooks a bunch and sometimes the asymmetrical balls burn up because of too much friction. With the surface at 3000 on the Sublime, it helps not read the front as quick, stores energy, and runs over the 8 pin consistently. From a lane-play standpoint, I’ve seen this ball be useful for lower-rev players who need a ball to start up but not burn up. They’ve been able to stay in their comfort zone and the Sublime looks great. For the two handers or more rev-dominate players, this ball is perfect for someone who wants to create shape but also a quick response time compared to the Gem, Eternity Pi, or Absolute Power. Go drill one!

The Sublime is a completely new ball. With A coverstock that is the combination of the S84 Response Solid found on the Reality and the S70 Pearl found on the Wolverine Dark Moss, you get the Reserve Blend 802 Hybrid! The core is the Immersed Symmetric AI core. The combination of core and cover gives you medium/strong reaction that is unique to anything we had in the line. Straight out of the box, I had a lot of over/under with it. It wouldn’t bite in the oil and was too responsive off the friction. I hit it with a 3000 pad and it wasn’t enough. Once I hit it with a 2000 pad it gave me a reaction that I could work better with. The customers that I push this ball for are ones that need a little help with hook. I drilled a few of these for some ladies and they have been VERY successful with it. Because of the lower RG and Increased diff, this ball is perfect for that crowd.
