This time we had the chance to try the 900 Global Volt Solid and this ball is definitely a great addition to the 900 Global lineup. From the current balls available from 900 Global, this is definitely their benchmark ball.
The Volt Solid is really smooth and predictable. I can play more tighter angles with it and the ball has a consistent reaction from shot to shot. The difference with this ball compared to other solids symmetrical balls in the market, is how strong it is downlane. The Volt Solid provides a smooth and early read, and somehow it still has a fast response to friction and a strong and yet predictable backend motion for a sanded ball with a solid coverstock.
The Volt Solid is the kind of ball I could use on almost anything but extreme conditions. The Volt Solid is easy to read, it has great continuation and it is more versatile than I thought it would be.
Personally, this is the kind of ball that usually start to bowl with. It lets me know how the lanes are and it tells me wether I need to ball up, ball down or make any adjustments. This can easily be a first ball out of the bag for many bowlers, or as other would say, a great benchmark ball.
It will be a great option for bowlers who are speed dominant or who have a low rev rate. The Volt Solid revs up quickly and if offers something that I'm always looking for when I use a ball like this one: Consistency and predictability.
I feel this ball is a great step down from the Honey Badger Extreme Solid. Once the HB Extreme Solid starts burning up or hooking too much, the Volt Solid will be a great ball to go to if you want to keep a similar shape.
The Volt Solid will be a great option when you want to blend the pattern. When you are bowling on a walled up house shot or in a flat pattern, you want to control the backend with a ball that offers a smooth reaction down the lane and doesn't overreact.
Kudos to 900 Global for introducing a ball like this one to their lineup. The Volt Solid will be a valuable piece for a lot of league and competitive bowlers.
Thank you for watching!
