900 Global Origin Review
« on: November 18, 2024, 09:31:32 PM »
The 900 Global Origin comes with the RB 93 Hybrid Reactive cover, Ellipse Asymmetric A.I. Core, and power Edge finish.  This cover and core are new from 900 Global. The strength chart that we got during the release had this ball in the mid-range but it most certainly is not. It is much stronger than I was expecting and to me it is SPI’s strongest ball out right now. I compared this ball to the harsh pearl and I have it stronger. The hard pearl is a touch cleaner and weaker for me. Maybe it is the new Power Edge finish because it feels closer to Step 2 and so far, it is really good. If you are needing a shiny ball for more oil, then this is the ball to get. It is really good and a great release from 900 Global.

Review:
The Origin features an all new coverstock/core combination. The excitement around this ball is huge. Where it will fit in your bag is right under your big asymmetrical pieces such as your 900 Global Harsh Reality and/or your Harsh Reality Pearl.

One thing you will notice the core is a completely different shape but the "numbers" are similar to other 900 releases such as the Sublime and the Sublime Focus. Although the Origin is an asym offering compared to a symmetrical you will find The Origin will fit nicely in an arsenal. What does this mean to you? It means your Origin new coverstock along with the new Power Edge finishing will give you length and still retain energy. It also means when your big asymmetrical balls start to labor The Origin will start to shine during the transition period.

A good ball within the 900 Global line to compare The Origin to is the Sublime. The reason why is the Sublime concept is good but the Reacta Gloss finish untouched could make this ball slightly unpredictable. Specifically the Sublime was a touch to clean and a bit late off the spot. The Origin with Power Edge appears to match up much better with the OOB finish. A much deeper analysis will be coming as a few SPI MatchMaker events will be coming up to round out the year.

My speed tends to be slower, so bigger balls burning up early can be a common occurrence before I change surfaces or let lane shine build up. The Origin with Power Edge takes some of the above out of play which I'm excited about. Also, out in the eastern region lane beds are continuing to get older and older. The need to create length and control with bowling ball offerings is continuing to grow.

For me, I did not do any surface adjustments on The Origin. It was not needed and I'm satisfied with the OOB surface as is.
