900 Global Harsh Reality Bowling Ball

900 Global Harsh Reality Ball Review Layout VLS 5.5x4.5x3.25 Dual Angle 58x5.5x46 Surface-2000 grit 900 Global Harsh Reality will be a great replacement for the orginal Reality. The Harsh Reality uses the same core from the Reality but it’s wrapped with AI technology and new stronger coverstock. The Harsh Reality will read the mid lane better than the orginal Reality but with a strong continuation on the backend. The Harsh Reality will be a great option for heavy oil or those longer patterns when your Eternity Pi isn’t strong enough. I have also found that when your bowling on a wet/dry lane conditions the Harsh Reality is very good at controlling those conditions.

Dual Angle Layout: 45 x 5 x 40 Storm Vector Layout: 5 x 3 ¾ x 2 ¾ The ball loves oil!! This ball just grabs the lanes and hooks. This ball will be a staple in my tournament bag for a while to come. The cover and core allow it to read in the heaviest of conditions for the reaction you need.

The new 900 Global Harsh Reality is the newest installment in the SPI Lineup. Being brought in as an upgrade to the original Reality, The Harsh Reality features the 902 Blend solid cover and the Disturbance core with A.I. technology. Compared to the Reality, the Harsh Reality is slightly cleaner through the front part of the lane and a little more responsive to friction. The Harsh continues to want to eat through oil, but it is not as smooth as the original. The Absolute Power is a complete step down from the Harsh Reality as it is much cleaner and responsive to friction. The Absolute Power allows your angles to be opened up more while still maintaining a smoother ball motion. I have all three of these balls layed out very similar. With the Harsh Reality being 5x4x4 2LS, Reality being 4.75x4x4 2LS, and the Absolute Power being 4.75x4.25x4.5 2LS, I see completely different shapes out of all three of these balls. I do not see the Harsh Reality being a replacement rather than a compliment.

I was then told a new stronger Reality version was coming out. Now we have the Harsh reality. This ball has great colors and a stronger cover and definitely reads the lane sooner than the original. This is good if you have more oil up front or overall but you do sacrifice some back end recovery that the original had. I had to move in to the oil and roll the Harsh Reality faster during the testing to get the best results and I am looking forward to getting the ball on the heavier patterns to see what it can do. I have not seen a difference in hit with the A.I. technology in this particular ball like I have seen in other balls that have incorporated it but I feel the conditions I have used the Harsh Reality on have just been too dry for the best results. The Harsh is stronger than the original and I would put it almost with the original Gem in total hook. Summary: This is a very strong ball from Global. The Harsh Reality provides an earlier read and more hook than the original. The Harsh Reality will be a good choice for oily conditions.

Ben Lapointe PAP: 4 7/8 over and 1 ¼ up Layout: 5.25 x 4.25 x 3 The new 900 Global Harsh Reality is SPI’s newest hook monster and man does it ever live up to its name. In comparison to the original Reality, I do not see a ton of similarities. The Reality was a touch cleaner on stronger off the spot than the Harsh. The Harsh sits for me between the Gem and the Reality which for me brings excitement. I found I did not match up with the original Reality or Gem. The Reality being a little too clean for a big ball and the Gem being a little too chuggy. The Harsh is the perfect combination of the two. I can see this piece being great out of the top of the bag on longer oil and heavier volume short patterns when urethane isn’t in play. Go get yours today!!!

Harsh Reality is the newest Big Cover and Big Core ball from SPI. I have really enjoyed throwing the Reality family of bowling balls. I was a little worried when the Reality went away, but hot on its tail was the Harsh Reality. I feel like this ball is a bit stronger than the original Reality. The cover being the Reserve Blend 902 Solid feels a lot like the strength of the Proton Physix. Global says that chemically, it’s similar to the S84 Solid that was found on the original Reality. Although we have the Gems out there, I prefer the shape of the Reality’s. This ball also has the AI core with after throwing them for a year, I am getting very fond of them. It really makes you think about certain hits, like, “I wonder if another ball would have carried that”. This a ball that needs some volume to be effective. I am going to drill a pin down one to see if I can make it something to use on softer patterns and house shots.

900 Global Harsh Reality: Tech specs: Disturbance Asymmetric core with all new A.I. technology with the all-new Reserve Blend 902 solid coverstock. Factory finished at 2000 grit and the ball has a HIGH flare capability. Ball layout: 4 x 5 x 2 3/8th – 2000 grit finish Bowler specs: 15.5 mph and rev rate in the 380’s and my is PAP is 3 ¼ and at zero up/down and tested on Pro-Lane at ABC North Lanes in Harrisburg, Pa. Having drilled the OG Reality, which to me had the roll and shape of a stronger version of one of my all-time favorite balls – the Roto Grip Epic Odyssey, I was excited to drill an even STRONGER version of the Reality. The prior 2 balls in the Reality series, the Altered Reality and the Reality Check were both hit or miss for me. Both of them were very “condition specific” for me. The Harsh Reality is THE strongest in overall core / coverstock I have ever rolled. A TON more energy going off the end of the pattern and entering the pin deck. It just might be “me” but I really do think I hit the ball hit the pins harder. More of a solid sound hit even on the half and light hits. The coloring for mine is really easy to see and read the ball roll and reaction, I can see the “creamsicle orange” and flat gray colors really well and the coloring has me see the reaction a good deal better than any other recent solids. The Harsh Reality is now the TOP DOG in my arsenal. My go to arsenal for the 2 different centers I bowl in, one center has Pro-Lane and the other center has really worn in HPL, are as follows: Harsh Reality, Attention Star, Absolute Power, Optimum Idol, Hustle RIP, and Lighting Storm spare ball / or Ocean Blue Ice Storm (depending on my mood that morning when I pack up and head out.)

The 900 Global Harsh Reality is a really good replacement for the original Reality. For me, is the perfect line that I like to play just front of me with a big oil conditions. The Harsh goes a little bit far on the lane and hit also harder than original reality. I also can play longer with even if the lane become dryer because the Harsh reality is able to continu to closed correctly to the pins when I goes left. Compared to the RotoGrip Magic Gem, this one read more the mid part of the lane and closed less harder at the triangle. I also compared the Harsh reality againts the 900 Global Xponent. The Xponent did average the same think but really less strong. If the you have heavy oil condition, the Harsh is perfect and if is more med oil condition, go with the Xponent. It can also each others were a good 1-2 punch complement. It can also be a really good choice for bowlers who doesn't have lot of rotation. For sure, the 900Global Harsh Reality will be my trustable ball for heavy oil conditions. #strikingworldwide !! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJQxB4Ev5L56n0H958rouPw

Designed for those heavier oil conditions, the Harsh Reality will be a go to on the fresh for when there is a ton of volume, length and/or lane tightness. I found this ball close to the X3, from Roto Grip, although with a bit more overall shape. I intend on utilizing this ball more on sport patterns when I need a big ball to get it to slow down sooner and control the lane. For the league bowler who is lower on the rev side this would be a good option to go if you like those big asymmetrical bowling balls.
