900 Global Sublime Bowling Ball

The all new Sublime is the first 900 Global core to feature A.I. Core technology combined with the 802 hybrid cover created a low RG of 2.47 and Differential of 0.053. I tested this ball on a typical house pattern 41 feet. It's my perfect benchmark ball. I had a great look in the track just front of me when I begin the play and when I open my angles up to right and moving my feet left the ball reaction continu to be good without losing striking power. The reacta gloss makes its clean through the front with a great midlane reaction to the pocket. This is a great ball for all levels of bowlers. When I begin to loss power because I'm too on the left part on the lane, I change with the Storm Summit peak without make change and I continu to go left for some more games. the Sublime follow me in all bowling places that I go for sure, league and tournament. https://youtube.com/@PLL1968?feature=shared

The new 900 Global Sublime is the first 900 Global ball to feature the A.I. core technology. The Immersed Symmetric A.I. core is wrapped in the new Reserve Blend 802 hybrid coverstock. At 15 pounds this ball has a RG of 2.47 and a differential of .056. Drilling this ball 5x4x2 puts the pin above my middle finger and provides additional length through the front part of the lane. The Sublime is a very even reaction type ball. It has a smooth arcing motion on medium to medium-dry lane conditions. The A.I. core technology provides superb hitting power through the pins. This ball can be used on many lane conditions but is best suited for medium volume oil patterns. The Sublime will not be the most hooking ball, or the ball with the sharpest backend, but it will be the ball that gets a lot of use. This is a great benchmark ball with the added bonus of the A.I core. You need to throw this ball to understand just how real the difference in this core technology is. The first Global ball to feature this core, but certainly won’t be the last!

900 Global Sublime Cover: Reserve Blend 802 Hybrid Core: Immersed Symmetric A.I. Finish: Reacta Gloss Polish Review: Looking for a great-looking ball with a mid-lane roll that can pack a punch when it hits the pins? Look no further than Sublime from 900 Global. This ball being a hybrid offers a clean through the fronts with a strong roll in the mid-lane while providing plenty of pop on the back end. I have changed the surface on this ball several times and have enjoyed the versatility. Generally, I do not match up very well with Hybrid cover stocks, but with the combination of the new AI core technology and the new hybrid cover stock blend I find this ball as one of the first out of my bag depending on the lane conditions I am bowling on. Make sure you snag one of these beasts. Will Tefft 900 Global Staff Member will@parklanes.net www.900global.com

Layout: 50 x 4 ½ x 35 The Sublime adds a unique shape to the 900 Global lineup – a smooth, strong, yet clean reaction that is very much at home on medium-dry to medium-heavy oil conditions. It ignores the heads but has a strong arcing reaction that starts in the early midlane and continues through the pindeck. The smoother nature of the Sublime lends it to being less oil sensitive than other medium-oil bowling balls that are more skid-flip. Bowling balls such as the Xponent Pearl or Summit Peak are cleaner and flippier, and are better for medium-dry to purely medium oil conditions, but are more sensitive to oil. Those balls are great choices to go to after the Sublime.

The new ball from 900 Global is the Sublime. The Sublime is the first 900 Global ball to use the new AI technology. Also using all new Core and new Reserve Blend 802 hybrid Cover. I drilled mine 4.25 x 4 x 2 pin up. This ball is very good, and matches up with my ball roll real well. I find the reaction as a little early and a little downlane. Just what you would think from an Hybird cover. The Sublime is a little forward rolling for me off of the breakpoint for me. But it carries unbelievable for me on house shots and medium Sport patterns. (AI helps) I have drilled several for customers at the shop, 2 handers, tweeners and down and in players. All like the reaction, its just different roll but in a very good way. They all mentioned to me its a unique roll. Something fits very well in any bowlers arsenal.

Weight: 14 lbs. Pin Length: 3-3.5” Drilling: 25 x 4-1/4 x 55 Drilling VLS: 3-1/2 x 4 x 2-1/2 Pattern Length: 41 ft. Pattern Volume: Medium Pattern Type: THS Right Handed The Sublime by 900 Global has the reserve blend 802 hybrid cover stock, finished with Reacta Gloss. This is a symmetrical ball, with a medium/high flare potential in the 900 global, 800 line of bowling balls. The box finish is Reacta gloss, but, as always, the surface can be altered to suit a variety of lane conditions. It is a very attractive neon purple/amber/black color combo. I have used the Sublime on a 40 ft. kegel house pattern, and a variety of modified house patterns in different houses. I’ve thrown the Sublime at the Reacta Gloss box finish, and have made some surface changes along the way. I’ve found, for me, changing the surface to 1000/2000 grit abralon really smooths out the reaction, which is what I was looking for in my arsenal. I’ve found this to be a good benchmark, “go to” ball when I start to see the transition. The Sublime is strong through the pins, when the lanes starts to dry up. This ball continues through the pins really well, again, when the lanes start to dry out. The Sublime definitely has a spot in my arsenal. It gets through the heads cleanly and makes a nice smooth turn down lane. I highly recommend the Sublime if you’re looking for a nice mid range ball in your bag. The Sublime fits in between the Magic Gem and the Exotic Gem in my arsenal. I highly recommend this ball if you’re looking for a nice mid range ball . Carol Teel Roto Grip Amateur Staff Member

900 Global Sublime Coverstock: Reserve Blend 802 Hybrid Reactive Box Finish: Reacta Gloss Core: Immersed Symmetric A.I. Core RG: 2.47, Diff: 0.056 (15 lbs) VLS Layout: 4 1/2 x 4 7/8 x 3 1/8 Dual Angle Layout: 60 x 4 1/2 x 50 PAP: 5 3/16” right x 5/8” up Rev rate: 400 rpm Average speed: 16.5 mph Location: Prairie Lanes, Sun Prairie, WI Pattern: Medium volume THS The all-new Sublime brings A.I. (Amplified Inertia) Core technology to the 900 Global line up. This new core technology helps to lower the RG and increase the differential, thus making the ball rev quickly and creating more fresh-surface contact with the lane. Furthermore, this new core is paired with the Reserve Blend 802 Hybrid Cover, which features a mix of the solid cover from the Reality and the pearl cover from the Wolverine Dark Moss. All told, this creates a very versatile ball that can be used on a variety of lane conditions. For the Sublime, I went with a layout that puts the pin in my ring finger after drilling; basically, it splits the difference between a pin-up and pin-down layout for me. I also took a little bit of shine off by lightly scuffing the surface with a 3000-grit Abralon pad as I’ve found the Reacta Gloss finish can be a bit too shiny for my liking. I have loved everything I’ve seen out of the Sublime thus far! The fast-revving action reminds me a lot of the original Zen, but the Sublime gets further down the lane and has much more shape on the backend, and continuation through the pins is awesome. Where the Zen struggled a bit when you moved too far left (for a righty), the Sublime has no issues coming around the corner. I can certainly see the Sublime being in play on all but the heaviest/longest of oil conditions. The Sublime is a great compliment to the 900 Global Eternity Pi and Xponent – where those 2 balls can be used on the fresh, the Sublime is the perfect transition ball to go to after either of those balls start to lose their reaction. I really believe this is a ball that can, and should, have a spot in everyone’s bowling bag for tournament and league bowlers alike. The Sublime is a unique combination of midlane read, length, and backend reaction that will be a staple in my bag for the foreseeable future.

900 Global Sublime Layout 5 x 4 x 3.5 Style – stroker Ball Speed – 14–15 mph at pins Condition – house pattern - older HPL surface Surface – box condition I drilled the Sublime to transition off an Eternity PI drilled with the same layout. Bowling on very wet/dry conditions I’d wanted the stronger asymmetrical to help blend that out. Loved the motion, but rarely get through more than one game with the PI. That’s where the Sublime was to come in. However, I got a much stronger motion off the spot than anticipated. I’m going to need a little more in the fronts to get it down the lane with my slower ball speed. For those with higher rev rates, I can see this one going all the way around the lane. This ball has no trouble getting around the corner. If you’re looking for something symmetrical with AI technology don’t forget to look at this one. I think many will be pleased with a stronger overall motion than anticipated. This ball will get use but might be a bit more conditional for me.

Sublime Cover: 802 Hybrid Reactive Core: Immersed + AI RG: 2.47 RG Diff: 0.051 My layout: 4.5 x 2.5 The Sublime is a hybrid symmetrical ball that I see working best on medium to med-dry conditions. The 802 hybrid cover on the Sublime makes it feel more like a pearl than a hybrid, because it has not problem clearing the front part of the lane. The low rg, high diff core compliments the clean cover very well, because once it starts seeing some friction it creates a strong medium-quick response motion. I have found that the Sublime is best when the lanes transition past big solid balls like the Reality or Phase 2. It allows me to get more shape without overshooting the break point down lane.

900 Global Sublime: Ball specs: Immersed Symmetric core with A.I. technology with the Reserve Blend 802 hybrid coverstock Factory finish: Reacta Gloss Layout: 5 x 4 x 2 ¾ Bowler specs: 15.5 mph and rev rate in the 380’s and my is PAP is 3 ¼ and at zero up/down With the discontinuation of my favorite ball, the Roto Grip Hyped Hybrid, I have been looking for the “peace of mind” reliable hybrid piece to fill in my bag. I bowl mainly on Brunswick and HPL lane panels and both centers use what I feel to be a heavier volume house pattern than other places I bowl as well. The Sublime overall length all ball motion was a tick longer than the Hyped Hybrid, but the back-end reaction was stronger and more powerful through the pin deck. With the first in the 900 Global brand, the barbell shaped core with more weight on the top and bottom of the core and with the A.I. technology wrapped around the core, the hitting and torque it provides is amazing when it comes to pin carry. I took a worn 4000 grit pad and hand sanded it to change the cover texture just enough to allow the Sublime to have a similar overall ball motion like my Hyped Hybrids. The Sublime will be getting plenty of use over the next several months. Maybe I can knock out a few award scores with the Sublime like I did in the past with the Roto Grip Hyped Hybrid.
