900 Global has saved the best for last in 2023 by releasing the all-new Sublime! And leave it to 900 Global to take the groundbreaking A.I. Core technology and combine it with a brilliant Hybrid fusion of their best-performing solid and pearl coverstocks to create another 900 Global success with the Sublime. So, let’s take a closer look at what makes the all-new Sublime a fantastic new release.
The Immersed Symmetric A.I. Core brings a new dimension into ball motion. And to give a simple explanation of A.I. Core technology. It would be to say a wider surface of the ball rolls on the lane, and the more “roll†a core can generate, the greater the destruction it can do through the pins. So, with the Immersed Symmetric A.I. Core found in the Sublime, the barbell shape brings a smooth, hard-rolling motion that straighter players like me enjoy with an added bonus. The Immersed Symmetric A.I. Core creates an intense amount of “English†from its angular motion as it hits the pocket. And like a cue ball to an 8-ball rack, it creates a swirling motion that makes the pins dance around the pin-deck. So, straighter players like me will see more pin action, messengers, and a more significant amount of pin carry. And that is precisely what I saw with the Sublime! So, if you are a straighter player, the Immersed Symmetric A.I. Core will be a strong new advantage to add to your game.
I am a huge proponent of Hybrid Coverstocks for many THS bowlers. And the Reserve Blend 802 Hybrid Coverstock delivers the results THS bowlers can depend on. I started by sanding my Sublime with a 2000-grit Abralon pad, and my Sublime was right spot on all night. The 802 Hybrid creates a smooth and predictable roll I like to see, whether on fresh oil or worn conditions. And I liked how the 802 Hybrid stayed consistent throughout the night. And that consistency makes the 802 Hybrid an excellent choice for any straighter, low-rev player like me on multiple types of conditions. My only caveat to the Reserve Blend 802 Hybrid Coverstock is adjusting the surface to fit your game. The 802 Hybrid will thrive with multiple surface adjustments from many different types of bowlers, so don’t be afraid to experiment with what works best for you! Because The Reserve Blend 802 Hybrid was made to work with you as the bowler.
In conclusion, 900 Global has again created another winner with the Sublime. The Sublime is a well-crafted, all-around symmetric masterpiece that will fit well in just about any THS bowler’s arsenal. And if you are a straighter, low-rev player like me, you can count on the Sublime to give you the added edge you need to bring your season scores to a higher level! So, stop into your local Storm VIP Pro Shop today and have your Sublime ready to roll tonight! It’s well worth it!
