The Zen is back!!  The new Zen 25 features the new Reserve Batch 83 Pearl coverstock with the Meditate A.I. core.  At 15 pounds the Zen 25 has a low RG of 2.48 with a differential of .053.  I drilled my Zen 25 with the same layout as my original Zen which I liked so much.  The layout is 5x5x2 which puts the pin above my middle finger.  Comparing the 25 to the original, I see 2 to 3 boards more total hook from the 25.  The RB 83 cover has some serious “teeth” to it so this ball reads the midlane very well for a pearl and has a strong continuous arc motion on the backend.  I didn’t think the original Zen could be improved upon, but 900 Global has done it.  The new Zen 25 is much more controlled and predictable without sacrificing any total hook or hitting power.  This ball is one that will be in my bag for a long time!  Don’t miss out on this one…this ball is a definite winner!!!

900 Global Zen 25 Ball Review by PJ Haggerty

The latest addition to the Batch 800 series at 900 Global is the Zen 25.  There’s been several versions of the Zen before this one and they’ve all been impressive  The Zen 25 is living up to that same hype.  The 25 features a new pearl coverstock (RB-83) and that’s wrapped around the usual Meditate core.  While still providing players a low RG of 2.48, the 25 is designed to be clean through the body of the lane but provide a quick response time when changing direction.  The RG will help players retain confidence that the ball will not ‘miss the spot’ too. 

I’ve drilled one so far and love it.  Honestly, it rolls so good that I’m not sure I’ll drill a second one because I wouldn’t know how to make it better.  It’s mapped out as 5.5 x 5 x 2.5.  This puts the pin just left of my bridge with a slight shift of the cg. From a surface standpoint, I haven’t touched the cover.  I’ve thrown it directly out of the box and it rolls great.  We bowl on a high friction surface and it’s been usable during our normal league on the house shot as well as some sport conditions once the pattern transitions. 

The Zen 25 will go with me everywhere I go for the time being.  It rolls great and compliments balls such as the Origin, Ion Max, and Rock Star.

Go drill one!

I am slightly speed dominant, rev challenged 220-250ish, low tilt and high rotation. The 900 Global Zen 25 is a symmetric pearl reactive that has high flare potential. 

I drilled mine 60 x2 5/8 x 30 (short pin) and hit it with some surface 500/1000. My axis point is 1 3/8 up and 4 1/4 right. I love this ball because It doesn’t overeact on me. Check out my video at: https://youtu.be/gtexCLl25Xc?si=y_QuJ6p_o-DFpcZI
