900 Global Zen Soul Review

what's up guys jr raymond back again coming to you from bowler x pro shop and training center here inside waterford lanes where today we've got the new ball from roto or from 900 global not that i think it was from roto grip that's weird they're all the same pretty much the same family i guess 900 global the zen soul now this is something i'm kind of i've got high hopes for because the zen master for me didn't fit in my bag it was a little too early and still smooth i needed it to be

a little cleaner in that with that smoothness for it to really fit in my bag the right way i'm hoping this ball can blend in with my gem my gem is the stronger piece i'm hoping this is just a little bit weaker but similar type of ball reaction is that so we're gonna take it out here i got the same 45 by four and a half by 45 layout on it i got it on a 42 foot loop condition we're gonna take it out here and see what it's got in a minute stay tuned [Music]

all right guys here we go i got the zen soul by 900 global typical 45 by four and a half by 45 layout i got it here on a 42 foot league condition on the new surface here again pardon the the dust the mess the noise you can see in the background here we got some some putting in some new lanes so we're going to be working through some noise no big deal again just pay attention to ball motion and uh hopefully you can still hear what i'm saying so we're going to start at the 8 9 10 range or i'm going to change that now it's going to be the 9 10 11 range i

always say 8 9 10 and i always hit like 9 10 or 11 so let's do that oh and i hit almost 12. well that was not good let's uh let's let's redo that because that was bad i'm gonna blame the phone that was the phone ringing phone got me caught me i wasn't ready for it don't do that again here we go

regroup try again focus junior focus a little better a little gooder much gooder all right so that actually blended through there really nice compared to like some other ones like the bloody ocean or the black pearl treasure that one didn't blend in there very well that one hit the dry and it went left

this one blended so a lot like the gem so again you're gonna hear me you're gonna hear me compare this to the gem because that's my hopes is that i can get it to be somewhat similar to that obviously this is a symmetrical ball it's not a uh it's not an asym like a gem but that's okay i still want the cover stock to help me out like the gem so remove five left try to get to that 13 14 spot

i love that see that's what i like it's clean through the front it doesn't over hook it doesn't overreact and when it gets down lane it starts to make its motion and continues smoothly off of it it doesn't look like somebody kicks it so it's like the opposite of that bloody ocean or the black pearl because that one really gets going this one smooths out the transition the ball transition we've got some noise we got a saw going

cutting cutting stuff pardon the noise but here we go let's get to 16 17-ish yeah and again that's that spot and i think it's this pattern the way this house pattern's set up it doesn't quite have all that volume in the middle yet because we just kind of threw something out there it's like oh this is a 42 foot pattern throw it out there and it's supposed to be softer but it's playing flatter so

i think this is closer to like a maybe a four to one or a five to one pattern than it would be like an eight or a ten to one like a house pattern so you're seeing the flatness in the middle a little bit not enough of a christmas tree there because now when you go left from there now i'm gonna try that same thing i did with that black pearl i actually moved my eyes further right to try to get it through that spot see if it'll get there

nope that one don't want to because this one reads earlier whereas that black pearl it actually it reads a little bit later so this one reads early this one reads i feel like i'm it's picking up at like that 30 foot range now some people will sit there and try to tell you that you know you're trying to play ball reaction off the back of a pattern that your ball's not going to hook before the end of the pattern most people are crazy those people are looking at an awful lot of over under if they're trying to get their ball only to hook at the back of the pattern

we're trying to get the ball to hook before that that's for sure to start changing direction all right so let's go five more left now we're gonna get to that 1819 spot hopefully this one will shove down there see this one is really it's smooth off of it but it's early and i feel like this is going to be one of those

maybe not as versatile as the gem i don't know that it's going to force me to open my angles up but i don't know if it'll go through the pins because that one really picked up really got going i'm trying to go further left see if it'll get through the pins from over here

look at that thing make its motion but it doesn't quit that's my i mean it might actually be really good from further left i don't know this might be real similar to the gem maybe just not as strong overall because the gems asymmetric maybe a little stronger cover let me get up against the ball return try to throw it to the right because i don't think this one will hang like this one won't wiggle this one's just going to pick up and get coming like that

let's find out that'll tell me yep look at that that's sickening that's gross that is just disgusting like it just it never wiggles it never hangs it just gets going and it just drives through the pins whereas a lot of other balls when you start to open your angle up like that it's going to flat down it's going to get to that corner make its motion and kind of stop and flat 10. so then it's going to deflect until the nine pin and

watch that six pin lay in the gutter let's see if it's any good in front of the ball return come on now no way no way that's one thing the gem can't do the gem does stop from there anywhere right of 25 the gem does well

gems the most versatile ball in my bag but if the gem stops and isn't going through it this might be the next best bet i'm gonna go even further left let's see if we can get a little lofty loft here see if it still does the same thing goes through the fence i quit this is silly that's just silly no all right that's just gross like bull

balls they shouldn't even be allowed to do stuff like that like i shouldn't be able to take a big strong bowling ball like that and go that far left and still get it to come around the corner and continue through the pins all at the same time like that's silly like you saw it with the pearl version with that that uh that black pearl treasure you saw that thing float over there and drive through the pins and now you see the zen sole which is a stronger cover i think in my opinion and it just does the same thing but maybe even better like it just gets crazy it goes all the way to the right makes its corner continues and drives

through the eight pin you know i've got so many bowling balls that i've reviewed through the past that you see them do that and then they hit the headband and deflect to the right that's because the ball's using up its energy it's or it's making up too much too strong of a motion down lane and stopping so then it deflects like it's just it's it's amazing to me that those balls are able to just continue to do that like they can keep making balls stronger and still get them to go through the pins because again i'm going to compare it to the gem because the gem is my favorite ball in my bag right now it just i mean even more so than the nova and you guys know

how much i like that nova the nova stops on me a little bit once i get going left but that nova nothing compares to it when i'm like right of 20. if i'm right of 20 and i can throw it towards the gutter that nova's sickening you know it just does all the right things if i'm if i'm left of you know i don't know let's say 10 to about 25 the gem is perfect and now i have this if i have to get left to there even this ball is going to go through there and then i have my zen you got a dart code i mean i've got so many different options in those lines that'll let me do what i

need to do so it's pretty gross make sure to hit yours in the description hit the link in the description get yours today uh or pre-ordered i think it's still up for pre-order it might not be released yet get yours today come up here bolar x pro shop and training center talk to me or greg we'll take care of you we'll get you one and we'll get you drilled up but that's all i got for you i'm gonna get out of here and we will see you guys next time take care you
