So that would leave 900 Global with this as their product line:

Inception DCT / Inception Redux / Inception Pearl

Truth Pearl / Respect Solid / Respect Pearl

Honey Badger / Drift / Dark Matter / Boo-Yah!

Covert Ops / Desert Ops / Black Ops

Boosts

Not sure if the two Respect balls and the Dark Matter are still in production but they're listed on the main web page. Still a pretty robust lineup even if those three are out.

The Respect Solid, Respect Pearl and Dark Matter have been discontinued. I can see a new Truth coming out for maybe August or September. The Truth Pearl is such a good seller right now, 900 Global may push back a new Truth for a bit. The Honey Badger is going to be interesting as the ball has no outer core/filler.

IMO, they need a X ball motion in there as well.

Then:

Inception DCT / Inception Redux / Inception Pearl

Truth Pearl

Honey Badger / Drift / Boo-Yah!

Covert Ops / Desert Ops / Black Ops

Boosts

Not bad. I think another solid, something smooth like everybody said the X is/was, might be missing like Doom said but otherwise that's a nice lineup.

If I completely rebooted my bag and only went with one company I think 900 Global would match up the best with what I like... But that's only going off of core numbers and the small amount of information I hear about their stuff in my area. It's basically nonexistent here.

On another note what Boost balls will be left in production? Are all of the pearl variations being discontinued or just certain color combinations?

There are 2 new Boost colors coming. So there should be 4 total when they arrive

Black/Green
Bubblegum
Royal/Scarlet/Violet
Black/Gray/Silver


I really want a Covert Ops. I've seen enough of that core being really good with solid covers

I'll be honest. I don't expect the Redux to make it til fall leagues. The purple cream Boost is out.

If you wanted a 900 Global bag, send me a pm and I can bounce some ideas around. I haven't drilled all the stuff I'd like to (which is most of it, lol), but I can peace you together something.

The original Break weightblock is best not messed with. Put that big engine in a good shell and let it sell. When they start tweaking stuff to make it a different motion, things don't sell so well. Spec ops was similar to the war eagle.. that didn't sell well either, and mine was marginal at best. Desert Ops looks to be the best modified Break weightblock ball they've put out.

Same concept that Lane Masters used, or uses in a lot of their bowling balls. I know from rolling some of the original Lane Masters, that they had a great roll to them. It's a true two piece ball and the numbers are similar to the Lane Masters two piece balls.

I really appreciate the offer but I've got a bunch of new and newish Big B family stuff so I'm set overall for a while. Was just thinking out loud. Still really contemplating getting a Honey Badger though. That would seemingly fit what I'm missing.

Redux not lasting would be interesting and a really short lifespan.

Going back to the Boosts, the Black/Green is a polished solid and the Bubblegum is a pearl right? So is one of the two new iterations a hybrid? Not that it makes much of a difference I'm just trying to get more familiar with 900 Global and how they like to do things.

Thought the black green boost is a solid just like the hook was.

The Black/Green and Bubblegum Boosts are already. They're saying there will be two more new releases beyond them with all others prior to those four being retired.

The Bubblegum is pearl cover.

 I don't have any other information on the new ones outside of the color, but I'd expect the Royal/Scarlet/Violet to be pearl and I think the Black/Gray/Silver could be hybrid

I was going off of what Doom said above.

For what it's worth I think if 900 Global is going the consolidation route with their lineup that's the right move. Having too much bloat and overlap (and just plain old product) isn't a good thing.
