900 Global’s new Eternity PI is a Solid Asymmetrical piece that is good for Heavy Oil conditions.  PAP is 5 5/16 R 1 3/16 Up. Rev Rate: 400.  Speed: 16.5.  Drilled this piece with the Pin up between the fingers, CG kicked out 1” from the palm, and the Mass Bias 1/2” to the Right of the Thumb.  Out of Box ball motion started early in the mids with a smooth backend motion.  I compared this to Reality.  Reality (Asym) was a few boards right but with a more continuous backend motion than the PI.

Storm Vector Layout: 4 ½ x 4 ½ x 2 ½
This ball is STRONG!!! When there is a heavy volume of oil this is the ball for you.  This ball reminds me a lot of the Super Nova when it comes to ball motion.  The strong core and cover combo makes this ball grab the lane early but still stores enough energy to drive through the pins with power.  I did notice this ball lane shines up quite quickly so you may want to adjust the cover if you’re looking to keep the ball rolling early.

This is one of those asymmetric's you will want in your bag. Strong core combined with a cleaner cover, the PI will provide plenty of read and continuation for those medium to higher volume patterns. The PI sits on the cleaner side versus the Gem and DNA which is a great option if you're looking for the stronger ball without having such an early read on the lane.  I drilled mine pin down for the video and was able to keep may angles both closed and open which showed the versatility of the ball. I already drilled another one of with a pin up layout which I plan to throw to get deeper on the lane for the ball to pick up sooner and play more left to right.

The all new Eternity Pi is a great ball for players who like a strong continuous motion with a symmetric core. Typically, I do not have a lot of success with bigger asymmetric bowling balls, however, this ball seems to dance the fine line between strong, early motion and downlane shape. Even when you move left with this ball it still continues through the pins where usually strong asymmetric balls like this lock up. I have been able to see a large amount of success from a variety of people with this ball and I have no doubt there will be tons of success to come! Go out and get yours today!

900 Global has struck gold with the release of the Eternity Pi. And for a straighter, low-rev player like me, everything from the Reserve Blend 901 Solid Reactive Coverstock to the proven Epoch core makes the Eternity Pi a phenomenal new release by 900 Global. So, let's take a closer look at what's behind the success of the Eternity Pi.

900 Global developed the Epoch Core in the original Eternity, and it is a well-designed muscular asymmetric core. It was crafted in a way to put more mass in the center of the core, allowing for a stronger and more pronounced mid-lane motion without losing the strong torque off the pattern we straighter players depend on. I loved how the Epoch core revs briskly in the mid-lane and retains a crisp, decisive turn off the pattern. And unlike other big asymmetric cores that tend to be lethargic going down the lane, the Epoch Core builds an intense amount of energy that unleashes its destruction through the pins. So, if you're a straighter low-rev player like me, the Epoch Core is the powerhouse you are looking for. Lastly, you can depend on the Epoch core to get you to the pocket and deliver striking results when you need to count on it most under those pressure situations!

The Reserve Blend 901 Solid Reactive coverstock is ideal for a straighter player like me. And the out-of-the-box 2000-grit Abralon surface was a perfect match for my game! I loved the gritty attack the 901 Reserve Blend had in the front part of the lane while still having a smoothly blended traction in the mid-lane. And the best part of what I saw with the Reserve Blend 901 was the forgiveness it provided!

I loved how the Reserve Blend 901's forgiving mid-lane motion brought my Eternity Pi back to the pocket, even when I leaked one far right. And when I tugged one inside, I loved how the 901 Reserve Blend Solid stayed consistent as it cut through the heavy oil in the center of the lane. Lastly, when you are trying to get around those high-rev urethane players or navigating those late-night broken-down conditions, you can trust the Reserve Blend 901 Solid Reactive coverstock to blend the conditions. Allowing you to keep you rolling you're A-game all night long!

So, in conclusion, 900 Global has knocked one out of the park with the Eternity Pi. The Eternity Pi is a brilliantly crafted 900 Global release certain to bring excellent results to any straighter, low-rev player like me. So, stop in your local Storm VIP Pro Shop today and have your Eternity Pi drilled up and ready for tonight's league or this weekend's tournament because the Eternity Pi is ready to roll and deliver! Great job, 900 Global! That’s striking worldwide!

900 Global Eternity Pi Ball Review by PJ Haggerty

The newest addition to the 900 batch line at 900 Global is the Eternity Pi.  After having a ton of success with the original Eternity, I was excited to see a solid version be created.  The Pi features the Reserve Blend 901 cover and the Epoch asymmetrical core, producing one of the strongest balls I’ve ever thrown.  This monster flares a ton, never stops going through the pins, and rolls great.  With an RG of 2.49, differential of .050, and PSA of .014, you can bet this will be the strongest ball in your bag.

I’ve drilled one so far and love it.  The one I drilled is mapped out as 5 x 3.5 x 70.  This puts the pin below my bridge and the mass bias just to the right of my thumb.  Out of the box, the Pi didn’t make it to the arrows before it started to change direction, so I put it on the spinner with water and a 4000 pad.  That made a huge difference.  It created length, stored more energy, and went through the pins great.  If I know I’m going to bowl on a pattern with a good amount of volume, the Pi is in my bag.  It’s been a great compliment and much different than my Zen Gold Label and Xponent. 

If you need to add a super strong, heavy rolling ball to your bag, the Eternity Pi from 900 Global should be the next ball you drill.

Review:
The 900 Global Eternity Pi features a crafted cover design that is slightly cleaner than the S84 Response cover that was featured on the Reality. In addition, S84 was featured on the Eternity as well. This change will differentiate reaction from your Reality and other big asym balls by providing extra length in your solid coverstocks.

At recent MatchMaker events I worked showed the Eternity Pi is a top choice for bowlers. For my review I tested the ball on two fresh house shots at two different centers along with the Reality. The Eternity Pi is a nice compliment to your bigger asym balls by giving you that touch of length I noted above. I will also say I feel the Eternity Pi is better than the Eternity due to the cover being a nice upgrade. For me, at times, the Eternity would burn up a touch earlier than anticipated even with it having a pearl coverstock.

I am most impressed that the ball easily glides through the front part of the lane and was very balanced in terms of hook off the spot and entering the roll phase. Many times you'll see asyms "quit" and roll weaker off the spot then we like to see. The Eternity Pi does not do that and should provide a nice range of angles to attack the pocket.

For me, the Eternity Pi may require a small surface up adjustment on the two house patterns I tested it on. This is simply due to my slower ball speed so any help through the front part of the lane generally helps me out. However, for most players the Eternity Pi will work with the OOB finish provided.  Be sure to check out the 900 Global Eternity Pi today.
