Man, a lot of misinformation on this thread. My current bag includes Radical equipment made in the 900 Global factory and in the Brunswick factory (Slant, Slant Hybrid and Torrid from 900 Global and Torrid Elite, Yeti, Reax, Reax Version 2, and Reax Version 2 Pearl from Brunswick). All of these balls have a place in the bag and the quality of the San Antonio products is equal that of the Brunswick orbs. In the Phoenix area, 900 Global products have done well. The Breakout, Eagle and subsequent releases have been dominant here: As good as any of the top end balls by the other manufacturers. Look, bowling equipment manufacturing is not a zero sum game. All of the major manufacturers are producing excellent pieces and a bowler may choose to support any one or any combination of the major companies and build excellent, high scoring arsenals. Unless one is under contract to a specific company, 900 Global should be on anyone's list of high quality brands to consider. It'll be good to have them back in the mix on tour and the pairing of 900 Global and Storm will reap benefits to both going forward.

Thanks for the clarification.  For some reason I thought that the Torrid Elite was a 900 Global made Radical ball.

Charlest, as usual, is spot on.

MI 2 AZ........nothing against 900 Global, but it's going to take some time for them to be considered one of the top brands in bowling balls, especially since they were missing from the PBA for a while. A large percentage of league bowlers don't even know they exist. The signing of Barnes and the possibility of being on tv are huge steps for them. I really want to try the Dream On, but I got alittle sticker shock on the price.

Alittle off topic but i am gonna ask anyways.... Why?  Because i want to lol... JK

But i got a legit question about the pouring process and Mr. Impending Doom, if you may please chime in... Im sure you prob have some answers for me seeing as you said you got a tour of the plant back in 06.  When seen on those shows like how balls are made, or the quick glimpse during the storm commercial for the Invasion, u can see a machine that simply pours the THEN liquid coverstock inside of a mold that has the core already mounted inside of it.  So far am i correct?  It looks like for the invasion it was purple, blue, and red. My question alies here.....

Why is it that only certain plants are capable to 3color blends???   I understand im obv missing a HUGE piece to the puzzle here, but from what it looks like, its nothing more than a big turkey baister filled with 3colors squirting them into a roumd mold..... Which is why you'll never see two multicolored balls look the same, just like plugging ballls..

Aaaarrgggh. I cant tell u how many ball plugs i literrally could not wait to cut down the next day as when poured, i would NAIL, and i mean like really get the color and swirling PERFECT.  Only to see it when it has dried that the two liquids would blend and completely either not swirl like it looked like it was, or become a slight off shade variation. 

Sorry for that little tangent there lol..  But two questions..

1.  Why cant any plant fill up the pouring press (whatever its called) with however many colors they want?
 
And

2.  How come balls poured by 900 always created such a beautiful swooping like swirl pattern to there dual colored balls,(i.e.the break pearl-sexiest ball ive ever owned) whereas AMF which is poured inthesame exact shop often times had a more geometrical harder edged swirling, (i.e. The black mambas is a perfect example of what im trying to put into words.). Although thinking about it, i believe the war eagle had that same look, whereas i had a clutch pearl that had beautiful swirls just like 900's dual colored ones..   

Does anyone understand any of this lol.  It makes perfect sense in my headyet i cant put into words.   Ok last try. Storm balls seem to have the WORST color blending that i can think of... The the crux, the frantic, to hell withat the freakin frantic is the best example....  All the ones ive seen in my shop were almost as defined an adege as that black and gold quantum helix lol.  Theyre colors just dont seem to swirl to together... Almost like oil and water.  Then lets travel dont south of the order to mexico, and i see the MOST BEAUTIFULLY DUEL COLORED BALLS ON THE MARKET.  Hands down.. Brunswick, Radical, and DV8 all have just such tight smooth swirls between colors, and yes most would say who cares thats only aesthetics.  Well, no i disagree.  You buy a hybrid so youcan get the best of bothe the solid and thehybrid correct?  Well what happens if youre a higher tilt player and you drill up a frantic....? However its its one where its almost bad enogh the be labeled and sold as a factory blem... So your 9"track diameter rolls solely on the orange part of the ball?  You dont really have a hybrid, you have a true solid coverstock.  I know thats Probably rare, but ive seen it happen, and im just curious more than anything.  Are they doing this on purpose? Or not?

Thanks for listening lol,
Sean

My frantic and other low ends aren't blended very well.  Its all good though.

I have a Frantic that's the same way, half orange half green.

Im looking at filling a hole with that new virus.  LMFAO. Ok ok.  Sorry guys. Lets get back on track...   I meant i will

But does any one know Why this happens mostly from certain companys or plants whereas others dont?.  Like im sorry storm but i find it way way WAY too much to be that of coincidental....  And just for the record, im not affiliated nor am i against any company.  Im one of those that likes to build an arsenal around the best ball to fit my game per whatever specified hole i need to fill...

wow that last line DID NOT sound too good lmfao....  And thats why im going to leave it.   But u know what i meant.

They may do it on purpose for some reason we aren't aware of.

Some colors bleed more than others and you will get mud.
