« on: January 17, 2025, 10:31:47 AM »
Start the year 2025 in style with the 900Global Zen 25, a bowling ball that merges the iconic Zen performance with cutting-edge innovation. Designed for medium-heavy oil conditions, the Zen 25 features the brand-new RB 83 Pearl Reactive Coverstock paired with the trusted Meditate Symmetric Core enhanced by A.I. Core Technology. This ball is crafted for bowlers who demand effortless length, explosive backend reaction, and unparalleled reliability. The Meditate Symmetric Core with A.I. Technology builds on the legacy of the original Meditate Core, renowned for its massive size and consistent reaction. Now enhanced with advanced A.I. engineering, the Zen 25 maximizes energy transfer at impact, creating a larger "sweet spot" that turns near hits into strikes. The low RG and high differential provide a smooth and controlled motion that perfectly complements the dynamic performance of the RB 83 Pearl coverstock. The new RB 83 Pearl Reactive Coverstock is the latest formula from 900Global’s Reserve Blend series. Engineered to balance length and backend motion, the "83" signifies its aggressive positioning on a performance scale of 1-100. This advanced pearl reactive coverstock glides effortlessly through the front part of the lane and delivers a strong, consistent backend reaction. It is specifically designed to provide the precision, power, and consistency bowlers need on medium-heavy oil patterns. Complete with a Power Edge Finish, the Zen 25 ensures maximum versatility and performance across varying conditions. It honors the Zen legacy while pushing the boundaries of innovation, giving bowlers the confidence to achieve their best game yet. Start your season with a ball that redefines excellence—the Zen 25.

Leave it to 900 Global to set a new standard of hand-craftsmanship in 2025 with the Zen 25. The Zen 25 is far more than another version of a proven core with a sharp-looking new coverstock. The Zen 25 is built from the success of the powerful Meditate Core. Then 900 Global wrapped the Meditate Core with the explosive dynamics of A.I. Technology, and when you add in the all-new RB 83 Pearl Reactive Coverstock, finished with Storm's all-new Power Edge polish, you get a hand-crafted pin-destructing missile to add to your arsenal. So, let's take a closer look at the genius behind the Zen 25.

The Meditate Core is a large, beefy, symmetric core that straighter players like me love using. The Meditate core's sheer size and density allow straighter players like me to create a motion we can depend on and the power we need to strike. The Meditate Core alone is a predictable, smooth-rolling core that generates a significant amount of energy as it heads down the lane. And when you add the power of the A.I. Core technology around the Meditate Core, you create a monster of explosive power and precision we straighter, low-rev players love to have at their disposal. And lastly, when a straighter player has that steam-rolling continuation like that found in the Zen 25, you can count on the light hits to carry, those tight hits to explode, and pin-action that keeps us in play shot after shot.

The RB 83 Pearl Coverstock is a fine-crafted blend of smooth and grit all-in-one Pearl Coverstock. As a straighter player on a fresh THS, I found the RB 83 to be a great combination of smoothness in the front part of the lane and crisp traction when it sees friction. Yet, I found that it also blends through skid, hook, and roll with a very stable motion nearly all night, which, as a straighter player, I could easily adjust to as the night went on. So, if you are a straighter player like me, you will love how RB 83 on the Zen 25 will simplify your adjustments and keep you in the pocket as the lanes transition. Lastly, I found that with Storm's Power Glide finish, the RB 83 is a very balanced cover that is predictable and stable and creates an explosive back-end motion! So, there is no doubt that the RB 83 is an excellent cover for any straighter player like me.

In closing, 900 Global has done an outstanding job of hand-crafting another great winning ball with the Zen 25. The Zen 25 is more than another Zen with a sharp-looking coverstock. Instead, the Zen 25 brings the Zen legacy to a whole new powerful level of outstanding performance to add to any straighter player's arsenal! So, stop into your local Storm VIP Pro Shop today and get ready to take the second half of your bowling season to a striking new level because the Zen 25 will deliver!
