900Global's Tour Preferred line of bowling balls are go to products for tournament bowlers. This line offers the predictability as well as the control that are crucial for tournament bowlers. The X doesn't disappoint in these two areas. This ball has a low RG and Low Differential Pod symmetric core that offers early revving action and a smooth reaction at the breakpoint. The S57 cover and the NEAT "A" finish give the optimum level of friction for medium oil lane conditions.

Color: Black  (All colors do vary somewhat from the picture shown.)
Coverstock: S57 Solid
Finish: 2500 Grit NEAT "A"
Core: Pod Symmetric
Flare Potential: 3-4"
RG: 2.49 (based on 15# ball)
Differential: 0.035 (based on 15# ball)

I decided to drill this Symmetrical ball pin down so that I could get a nice arc on the backend of the lane so I put the pin 1” below the bridge and angled the CG at 30-degrees to the right and 1500-grit on the cover.  This ball out of the box became a favorite for its ability to stay smooth on lighter oil conditions.  The day after I drilled it up I had a practice session with a friend on drier “Sunday” house conditions and this ball was great, nearly shooting 300 out of the box.  This ball will be a great addition to anyone looking for a way to combat the china wall built by high rev bowlers on your league pair late in the series.  I wouldn’t hesitated to pull this ball out and count on a consistent reaction frame after frame. (My PAP is 5 3/4” right and 5/8” up, ball speed is about 15.5mph and medium rev rate)

I drilled this ball with a pattern of 84x3.75x57 with the pin in the ring finger. I tried to duplicate my drilling on the Chemical X (one of my 900 Global favorites) as I wanted to maintain the same smooth, predictable, rolling motion I loved in the Chemical X. I got exactly that, with a little bit more pop off the back part of the lane. This ball is incredibly predictable and the core makes this ball very controllable, while still retaining good energy through the pins. Great benchmark ball on a number of oil patterns.
