900 Global Origin EX Review

Don't change. Got no regrets. I'm on the run. Chasing the check. Dropping the top. Riding the vet. Telling myself what you expect. You know I'm with it. No better feeling cuz I could have quit but I didn't. 7 when I'm on a mission. Moving it up to a better position. They thought I was tripping. They had the vision. I told them but no they ain't listening. Took me some L's. But now that I'm winning, I'm feeling like fab. There's no competition. Embracing the pain. It's making me stronger. And now I got ice in my veins. I paid the price for the money and pain. But no matter what, I ain't never going to change. What's going on,

social media land? Charles Henderson here and today we're looking at the Origin EX. So, the original Origin really, really good. I think that was a really good bowling ball in my opinion. And now, again, we have a solid version. The first one was a hybrid. And I think they're starting to fill out those gaps within the brand uh for Global. And I think again, this is a good starting point. So, the harsh reality solid was okay. And I feel like this one hopefully is a little bit cleaner of a cover stock, right? I I don't have any information outside of, you know, what

was on the box. Uh but yeah, I'm hoping I'm hoping I'm hoping that this is going to be a cleaner cover and again gives you a little more usability. Uh nothing to be sideways, right? We don't need to be as responsive as the original Origin, but smidge earlier. I'm thinking definitely still a step down from, you know, Ion Maxes. I don't think there's any reason to release another ion. So, we got this one here. Then we also have the Hyperdrive from Rotogrip, one of the newest balls. That's typically that's

always the first questions I typically get. So, we're going to answer that. And then also the next video, we're going to talk about a a common question that people always get when they walk into a pro shop or a pro shop operator typically gets like, I want to get the strongest bowling ball on the market. All right? You know, and that typically can mean two distinctively different things. So, we'll talk about that in the next video. And we'll it and we'll be featuring two top end bowling balls from different brands. And you can again, as a new customer coming in or a new bowler

coming in, you got to be able to understand like what you're asking so you can actually get the desired result that you're that you're hoping for. A lot of people purchase a ball based on what they told a pro shop operator and then it wasn't what they were expecting when they got on the lane. So, you got to be very specific, a little more specific. So, but anyway, get the ballsmart.com. They have the ball, they have the shoes, they got tape, they got bags, they got everything, everything you need. And then Coolwick, they have this one exclusively. It's white. It's spring, almost summertime. Need some

clean shirts, man? Get overwick.com. And they got polos now. They got some specific pose. They're having some fun with it. Go check it out. I think you guys will 100% enjoy. Um, and yeah, so let's get to it, man. We going to get warmed up a little bit. Then we'll get into a full game. We'll toss all the bone balls a little bit around and then again we get to that full game for you guys. Enough talking. Let's get the fights. Legs are [Music]

my first shot. Let's get warmed up out here. This is a fresh house shot if I didn't mention it before. Step to the

right. Yeah. So yeah, especially warm it up, drop it down the speed, everything. Just try to again get the ball going. Um, so far it looks good. Definitely looks cleaner. Like it's not jigging nearly the way like a ionax would [Music] have. All right.

Mhm. Oh, kick it. No love. No love. A little bit further. Right. That's what a lot of folks always ask. hooked immediately. Like look, I put it right there into the friction. It, you know, I almost have to like loft it or

push it to get it to not, you know, cross over a little [Music] bit. Looks pretty good. Again, cheated. just about about three about three four boards uh you know to the right and just you know try to keep it on that line like don't try to give it away give the pocket away too much when I say give the pocket away

meaning throw it like directly to the ditch like the tighter the angles the more direct of a line that's what I'm kind of referring to in that zone go to [Music] 20. Yeah. So, right there looks pretty good. Let's go ahead and try the hyperdrive. And like it's funny, but the hyperdrive definitely does not look like

that far off in color. Like like it's no blue. See the blue is only different color in these two. 20 little cleaner. So, not a huge fan of the hyperdrive to be honest. Like, I haven't been. They seem to be

okay, but it's like this cover core combination for me just I don't quite read it. how I, you know, like to read the the big asims. [Music] Yeah. Like for me, the hyperdrive is a play more here 100% like other time. Like if I try to start getting a little too away from the pocket with it, it just doesn't go through the pins for me.

You know, I know other people have had success, but like this is definitely that's a sport pattern ball. Like I only I don't see this on house left. Yeah, it just again like the higher RG and the covers like us trying to like be really early and the core is like trying to fight or trying to push down a lane. just doesn't work for me.

But maybe it could be the layout, right? It could be a number of factors, but this combination is meh. All right, so going to 25. See what we get. Much better than hyperdrive. Much better. and a hyperdrive I have all of like five games on maybe maybe

six. So it's not like oh I've abused the cover sock on that hyperdrive like I I have [Music] not little inside. Okay. So, like that. Kind of similar to what we saw with the hyperdrive is that like I like the shot went definitely more inside, right? Roll that oil line a little bit more and they both just, you know, wiggled. Didn't see

it. All right. So, I think again being a little bit further right, I'm move my feet closer to 20 now. opposed that last shot that was on 25. Looks phenomenal. Like can stay in that little zone right there and be pretty good. So, we are going to throw one more shot then we're going to do the full game. But I'll throw the origin. We'll throw more of the origin after the game is over. Pretty long. Let's see.

Yep. It seems to be again a fair amount of oil on this lane. So, it's pushing everything. So, I think once we get through this full game, maybe a little more to throw it with this Origin. So, all right. Origin time. Origin ex Oh yes. Flat flat flat 10. So like that

last particular shot I really leaned back and I didn't wasn't a little more you know chest to my knee. Um when I mention that I mean I was more like here at release instead of here. So that's the kind of a big difference. [Music] All right. Stay in this same [Music]

spot. Oh, that might take off. Oh, that look perfect. That look perfect. This is definitely giving me like like hammer effect, honestly. Like this is what this is giving me. Like still a little smoother. Yeah. So, it's definitely not giving me no reality or definitely not harsh reality. Like, this is definitely

feeling more like a like it's floating really pushing and like a like a stronger ion pro almost. [Music] So, not a bad thing, but that's that's the vibe I'm getting. Little cleaner, a little smoother ball.

So definitely honestly I can move further right you know and then watch I'mma move over there and it's going to like check and duck hook but I can keep cheating a little further right hold that line m So again, make it a little bit tighter, you know, angle-wise, like so not being,

you know, as open. Bring it a little more direct. And it nine pin. So, I'm not gonna be as far. I think I'm just going to continue to leave nine pins if I stay more on top of it, especially as the lanes transition. So, I'm going to stay right in 20 in this 20

range with my feet. And the lane should break down and it should give me more miss room cuz that's what you really want, especially talking about leagues and tournaments. Let the shot come to you. You know, typically in a game one, I'm not trying to get all my score game one. I just want to be able to get to the pocket, make some good shots. If I If I do shoot 300, great. But I want to have a better game two and three. Let the lane come to you a little

bit. So, right there again looks good. I just got to be good to it. It's showing a lot of good continuation. You watch some of these shots back like it is. And going through it, right? Trying to get through that ap. That's what you really want to see from this type of ball. Like again, not giving me ion max

force me crazy left. Even mesmerized like it's not giving me that. like this is giving me ball down from there. Maybe if you uh you get the cover and you bring the the grit down right, it might make it a little more aggressive. But how it comes out of box 2000. This ball is almost a ASM control ball. But I I love this range like a

bowling balls. Like this is this is it. It's like what my eye likes to see. Got a couple events coming up and this is working its way into the bag right now. Like I again it's very consistent and very [Music] continuous like this is almost taking out you know I wouldn't say a hammer effect tour but like a

strongish you know symmetric like a stealth mode or like a rockstar like this kind of they're But like it depends on like what we're bowling on and who I think I'm being a pair with. So I will adjust my bag accordingly. Oh laid. It laid like crazy. That's exactly what you want to see, man. Like that

just looked good. All right. So I mis left and it sat there. That's [Music] beautiful. Better shot. Thought it was. Look at the pin spinning over there. Again, still a little bit tighter. Like I could have arked it out there, you know, a little bit, you know, to the right, a little further. But can't I'm not I'm not not hating this at all. Like this is

definitely like heavier Pride Liberty, you know, like just heavier in the middle of the lane, not as quick. Oh, missed it. Oh, yeah. So, again, that was like at least a 230 game I just blew. Yeah, missed the spare. But again, I was having fun fun fun with that one um with the EX.

But we're going to continue to throw a couple more shots with the original Origin um and versus the EX. So, you can see uh but this is I'm liking it. Again, this is not ionax. I've said it probably three, four times now. This is definitely a step down. I wouldn't say considerably, but enough that you definitely notice a difference. Um, but this feels like a game one and game two ball like in a regular league set. Like you know the

average average bowlers, this is 100% can get the job done. I feel like it's going to continue to speed up as we we keep throwing it and breaking the lane down and it sees more friction. Like a couple shots there like it definitely showed more zip, but a lot of forgiveness. This may be the most forgiving ball um I've thrown in a while. Maybe. Maybe. Time was up. Got a little further left.

25. Yeah. So, again, not enough friction yet to be jumping over there. It's running out of energy. It's fine. Not a problem at all. Let's go to Origin. Cleaned it. So definitely on a cleaner side and I think this ball's often was rolly to begin with so it's not all that

surprising. Let's go to the origin one more time. Oh jeez louise. A pin savage. All right. So again, let's throw another one. Oh, wow. Transition. It needs some. So

again, it's quite a bit of oil on the wing and that origin with a shinier cover is just pushing getting behind the head pin, not doing the things that we wanted to do. And the new EX is so again definitely on a cleaner side and and people say, "Oh, but you've had the Origin for a long time." I'm like, "I haven't thrown it that much, bro." I'm like, "So many balls that come out, I give balls a

honest chance." So, you know, 10 games max, you know, and if it doesn't fall into that rotation, there's a lot of things around that ball around that time that I really fond of. But this EX Origin, this has a real chance to get in a bag. Yeah. So again, definitely not the most side to side, right, left to right. This is play downhill. Be

downhill right there. Bang. Yeah. So, I'm really liking the shape of this ball. Like people who don't like to be forced super lefts think this is going to be a really good option. And uh yeah, it's it does the thing. Does the thing, man. So, hope you guys enjoyed that. Hit that like, subscribe, get over to Hype Nation as well. That's a secondary YouTube channel.
