The 900 Global Sublime Focus is a game-changer when it comes to tackling medium to heavier oil conditions. This meticulously engineered symmetric option is designed to deliver superior performance when the lanes get tough. Building on the success of the original Sublime, the Sublime Focus takes things to the next level with the Reserve Blend 804™ Solid Reactive coverstock, finished at 2000-Grit Abralon®. This finish gives it incredible traction and control, allowing you to stay in command even in challenging lane environments. At the heart of this ball is the Immersed™ Symmetric A.I. Core, a marvel of innovation. This core offers consistent and powerful motion through the pins, giving you the reliable reaction you need to trust your shot. For me, this core has been a true game-changer. Most of my previous balls that read the lane early would lose energy before hitting the pocket, but with the A.I. Core, the Sublime Focus maintains its energy all the way through. My layout for this ball is 4 3/4 x 3 1/2 x 2 1/4, and my PAP is 4 5/8 right and 11/16 up. With this setup, I’ve found the Sublime Focus to be incredibly versatile, handling a variety of lane conditions. I primarily use mine on heavier house and tournament conditions, where it excels. On a recent tournament shot, which was 44 feet long with 30 total units of oil, the Sublime Focus allowed me to keep moving right with my feet throughout the four games of the tournament. The ball’s ability to read the midlane without losing energy through the pins was key to my success. I was able to cash with a 935 scratch series for four games, which wouldn’t have been possible without the consistent and powerful reaction of this ball. Handcrafted with precision, the Sublime Focus isn’t just another ball—it’s a go-to tool for when you need the perfect balance of focus and performance. Whether you're up against tricky lane conditions or looking to dominate your league or tournament, this ball delivers every time.

The 900 Global Sublime Focus features the Immersed symmetric AI core and wraps it in the Reserve Blend 804 solid coverstock finished at 2000 grit abralon. At 15 pounds the RG is a low 2.47 with a differential of .056. I drilled my Sublime Focus at 4 x 4 x 2 which puts the pin above the middle finger. This ball flat out hooks with its out of the box finish. The more I throw this ball the better and better it gets. The lane shine really helps this ball get down the lane a little bit and store a little more energy. Don’t let the shine fool you though, this ball still needs a good amount of oil to be effective. My second night using the Sublime Focus, I shot 300 the second game playing around 4th arrow sending it out to about 7 or 8 and having it come back. The AI core provided the strength to just kick out the corners enough for me to finish of the 300 game. I was not able to finish the night with the ball, as the lane conditions just did not hold up long enough. If you bowl on a house shot with a good amount of oil, the Sublime Focus is for you.

The Sublime Focus is your classic strong solid symmetric ball, great for heaver oil conditions or a first ball out of your bag to smooth out the back end on a fresh oil pattern. The Sublime Focus is going to occupy the same spot in the bag as the Optimum Idol solid or the original Summit - your biggest symmetric ball in the bag. So far, I am impressed with the versatility of the Sublime Focus, even as I move left on the lane, the Focus is able to turn the corner and still go through the pins well enough to get the 10 out. If your center has enough volume or you bowl on some higher volume sport patterns, I could see the Sublime Focus being a staple in your bag.

The Sublime Focus by 900 Global has the Reserve Batch No. 804 Blend Solid Cover stock with the Immersed Symmetric A.I. Core, this ball is strong and continuous giving us an insane control on the lane. This ball has a little more down lane motion versus the Optimum Idol, sometimes the Idol reads to early when there isn’t a lot of volume on the lane that’s were the Sublime Focus comes in for me. The Sublime Focus is cleaner than my Idol, covers more boards and can be used more often for me than my Idol. This ball can also be in the same category as a Summit Ascent but the Ascent is much cleaner with more down lane motion than the Sublime Focus. Out of those 3 the Sublime Focus has become the dull symmetric ball I got to. Players looking to have a step down from a high end asymmetrical or looking for something that responds a little slower to the friction the Sublime Focus is the ball to go to.

The 900 Global Sublime Focus is the sequel to the original Sublime. The Focus features the Reserve Blend 804™ Solid Reactive cover, along with AI technology to form a truly strong piece. I went with a 5 3/4 x 4 x 2 layout to get me as much length as possible from the core to avoid burning up too early with this strong of a cover. What I got was a moderately early, strong, rolly ball that punches holes through the pins. It's unique to see a ball roll so hard in the midlane, then finish behind the 8 pin. Impressive actually. This is going to be best for speed matched or speed dominant players due to the strength of the core and cover. Definitely best for fresh oil conditions!

I drilled up my SUBLIME FOCUS with a standard layout of 65 x 4.5 x 30. This is my normal layout for symmetrical balls that I can get a good read on where it fits in my bag. So far, I have just thrown it at box surface of 2000 and maybe just for a couple of games. I did move down to 14 lbs and the 900 Global gear tends to stay very similar spec wise in 16-15-14 weights. My initial thoughts are this is a stronger piece that is slightly smoother on the back end of the lane. I would see this being good when there is medium to slightly longer length (41-44 ft) with decent volume but fresher back ends. This one can keep you out of trouble until the transition to something like a HARSH REALITY PEARL or ION MAX occurs when you have to start to give up the headpin more to the right.

About Me: Joel Donner SPI Pro Shop Staff Member Left-Handed: High Rev High Speed Player Layout: 5 X 5 X 2 Pap: - 47/8 +1 Rev Rate: +-500 Speed 17-18mph Ball Video: https://youtu.be/Q3L5pub9jzM The 900 Global Sublime Focus is very similar to the Eternity Pi, with the notable distinction of being slightly more responsive. I find that the Sublime Focus is a great option to use before the Eternity Pi, as it provides an earlier read on the lane while still delivering a strong backend reaction. When the Sublime Focus begins to check up too early, transitioning to the OG Sublime allows for consistent performance from the same part of the lane. I believe these two balls would create an effective 1-2 punch, making them ideal for the beginning of a tournament or for a two-ball league setup. I drilled my Focus with the pin up, while Chaise opted for a pin-down layout. Personally, I find Chaise's reaction to be slightly more favorable than mine. We both agree that a pin-down layout would be more beneficial for higher-speed, higher-rev players, while a pin placement just above the fingers could suit tweeners and lower-rev, lower-speed players effectively. For the lower speed and high rev bowlers I would combine the pin up drilling with a layout that would cut back the flare potential as well. I am excited to have this exceptional combination, which I believe will serve me well throughout the early to middle stages of tournament play, as well as in league competition.

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 ¼ x 4 x 4 (pin below bridge) The Sublime Focus is the ball I didn’t know I needed! Solid symmetricals are the lifeblood of the industry especially when it comes to more difficult patterns. Phaze 2, Optimum Idol, IQ Tour are some of the staples for any SPI bowler. Add the Sublime Focus to that. It’s a tiny bit cleaner than the Phaze 2 but stronger than the Optimum Idol. The Phaze 2 tends to get a little forward if you don’t have enough oil, but the Sublime Focus, with the AI core keeps the axis a little longer which means it continues better. The more the continuation the more usable the ball across a pattern. So if you need something stronger than an Optimum or more continuous than a Phaze 2, the Sublime Focus is the ball. Don’t sleep on this one. This will be a lot of people’s preference in that strong solid symmetrical spot!
