Break Down   
Drilling:   Pin under middle finger CG in palm
Surface:   OOB
Lane condition:   41ft THS
Description:   The Break Down brings back the historic technology of the Break series from several years ago, but it has a tweak to the ball dynamics to make the ball very suitable for tougher/flatter/broken down lane conditions. This will be THE tournament ball of choice for me. I haven't seen a ball with the mix of an asymmetric core and so call "weak" RG and diff numbers before, but it provides a very unique roll and very controllable motion. This ball does the one thing that I look for when picking out a ball for tougher lane conditions; it seems to "hug" the lane as it goes toward the pins. Nothing every too dramatic, very predictable, strong motion through the pins, keeps pins low. Hard to argue with the success of this ball line in the past, and if you want to find a ball that will be great on tougher lanes and broken down shots, this is definitely one to consider.

Drilled my Breakdown pin above the bridge. This reminds of the old days when you only had to move 2-3 boards at a time. This ball is great getting through the heads with ease then starts into reading the midlane and goes into a very controlled arc. I use this ball when the lanes have been broken down by the hi rev players. Instead of moving left 7-10 boards i can pick this ball up and only have to move 2-4 boards.With the low rg and low diff. it makes the ball stay on line longer. Really like this one. Thanks 900global for another great ball.

If there is only one ball for you to drill for the USBC Open Championships. This ball is the one. I drilled mine with a 5 inch pin above my ring finger, but layed the mass bias to the left of my thumb, to control the migration path of the ball even more. And what does that give me? A ball that is smooth controllable, allows me to manipulate my hand however I want and change angles and allow me throw the ball for all three games during transition on fresh patterns. I am drilling two of these balls for the USBC Championships and taking them with me. This core to cover combination has worked so well there in the past and I see this ball being incredible during the singles and doubles portions of the tournament. Please feel free to reply to me with any questions about layouts and cover combinations for this years tournament. You are going to lose pins if you don't have one of these in your bag for this years tournament. Thanks again 900 Global!

This ball was named correctly The Breakdown. This is a very smooth and predictable
ball from release to the pins. Some sessions when you’ve got great pin carry and the lanes break down and you don’t want to lose that angle to the pocket you can do what I did, I put the Breakdown on the lanes, did not move my feet or change release and continued to
carry the rest of the night. When the heads start to burn a little and the backend starts to jump, take your Breakdown out and you won’t have to worry about large adjustments.
Take my advice and get one.

I knew pairing one of my favorite cores (Break Asymetric) with one of my favorite coverstocks (S70 Solid) would make a great ball, but what I didn't know was that it would make for one of the most versatile balls I have ever thrown.  I absolutely love this ball for all conditions.  It is perfect for fresh oil on medium conditions.  It is even better on lates that are a bit crispy and you need something that won't overhook but still recover when you need it to.  I drilled my Break Down with the layout 60x4x40, and it is everything I would have expected and some.  You definitely need this ball for a THS or a good ball to transition with.

Drilling: 4 x 5 x 3
Pap: 4 3/8 x ¼ up
Finish: Box Finish
Lane Condition: 40 Foot THS
Summary:  My first reaction of throwing this ball was WOW!  WOW being I finally have a low flaring ball in my bag that does not over react to the dry.  I had to keep moving right as this ball was so clean Sean Daniels – Global900 Staff Playerthrough the front part of the lane and so mellow downlane.  This ball will be an excellent addition to anyone’s arsenal and is a must have for the tournament player.
I used this ball in a tournament on Kegel  37ft Broadway pattern on old hooking wood.  I am still learning my arsenal so my move to this ball was late (game however I got to see just exactly how much I will love this ball.  I was able to easily get it through the hooking middle part of the lane and once it hit the end of the pattern, the ball made a gradual motion back towards the pins.  This allows for you to be able to control the change of direction while being able to tighten up the angles through the front.
Another great new addition to the 900 Global family.

My Break Down has very good length and a smooth but strong backend reaction. This ball is readable, good for tougher conditions or when the Respect becomes too much ball. Really good transition ball or if you are playing on shorter patterns.
