Just noticed the limited run Mark Roth ball on their website:
http://www.900global.com/balls/markroth
Portion of the proceeds goes to the Mark Roth Fund. What a great way to honor the man who changed our game.

First off, just goes to show you how nice and classy this company is.
Second, looks like people will be able to get teir hands on a Maverick only in different color scheme. That is cool as well.
--------------------
What is sandbagging???
-
thats way kool of 900 global! i'll be ordering some cases of those for one of the greats! Mark Roth!
-
Very nice GLOBAL. Absolute class act.
-
And when can I get my hands on this classy ball?
-
That's a nice move, and pretty outstanding. Except for the pink breast cancer Viz-A-Ball (and I am not sure if any money went into fundraising at all) some time ago, this is the first time I can think of that a ball is actually part of a social campaign, beyond bearing a prominent name testimonial.
Thumbs up!

Yea looks like a Villain core, Sideways like color scheme...I wonder if it's it a pearl? If it is I just might have to try and get one.

Does anyone know what the coverstock strength number is??? It doesn't say on the website
-
They did not rate this one, S45 is the ball park figure i was given though. Superflex cover with a splash of pearl. Just as pictured. So..a "Hybrid Villain" of sorts. Same strength as the villian or maverick, little different reaction shape. Its going to be a great benchmark ball, possible answer to the "pearl lunatic"????
Steve and I both have them for sale in FS forum.... They start shipping today, he will have his first, I will get my cases early next week to ship out to customers. Great Benefit! Great Company!

Villain is a F45, Maverick is S65, both are 600 grit followed up with 2000 grit polish.
I'll declare the Mark Roth is a S50...because it's black and blue and everyone knows that black and blue balls are stronger.

I thought black and blue only hurt your balls? Hmmmm...

Should have mine in Tuesday. I ordered 2 and heard they only had 50 left as of last week. I sure would like to know what this ball is gonna do... Guess it is time for some trial and error

too bad they aren't in 16 id have some.
-
just curious...I should have holes in mine maybe tomorrow...considering its the Villian I have some ideas how to punch this one. I will post some pics.

I would never throw the L.E. ball. Being that it's just a Villain in a fancy suite I suppose I would buy another Villain and put the Roth ball up on display in the pro shop, sort of a homage to king of crankers. Well maybe not the king but definately the pioneer.

I've been throwing it as of last week. Looks very cool! The Low Rg makes it very smooth and arcy through the mids, and the high polish hybrid finish gives it a very nice pop off the friction on entry. Nice control peice, holds inside without over reacting and can come back from those missed shots to the right if the speed isnt too fast. I'm sure if you add some surface too it, it would be even stronger upfront much like the lunatic.
ultimately, its a great THS ball for anyone from entry performance to control peice for the tournament bowler.

I guess every ball would be good if there was hold to the middle and recovery to the right? Not to be a smart azz but is that really the ball or condition?

I guess I should have clarified that i have only used in on THS so far. Fresh and Burnt.
Yeah your absolutely right, the condition is going to determine what the ball is going to do. Benchmark type balls cater to this THS condition right? Smooth transition through the mid part of the lane into the fricition area on the backend. Smooth Arc shape with a strong finish???
When i miss right early with my Break Point It goes face, When I miss inside with my break point it goes left.......guess its the condition.
I did try to compare the ball to other reaction in the line, i guess i didnt clarify that enough. Does not read as early as my lunatic does.... Goes longer but give the same overal smooth arc shape as my lunatic unlike the sharp angular motion that my Break Point gives with the same amount of distance down the lane...
Overall, the ball is tame compared to the bounty hunter or break series, but stronger than the Link series....that should help to find a fit i think?
-
We did build in some performance, lets not lose sight of the purpose here. It has good performace and a great cause.
-
got mine today,..beautiful. Looking forward to using tonight.

What distributors have them? My local pro shop doesn't carry 900 Global (I've tried!), but would like to be able to get one. If I can direct him on how...or can I order one someplace?
-
Got mine today. Good looking ball. Gonna stash it away in the closet for a while. Don't really need it yet, but wanted to have it.

Ace Mitchell carries them and so does Cal Bowling Supply.
-
Well after having the chance to use this ball last night this ball fits the line very well. I see it right under the Break line and a bit stronger than the Lunatic. Perfect fit for the line and done for a pioneer of our sport.
Great job!
