900 Global Harsh Reality Bowling Ball

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.

Hey everyone, I'm back with another ball review, and this time it's for the 900 Global Harsh Reality. At 14 pounds this ball is wrapped in the 901 Reserve Blend SolidCoverstock and has the Disturbance A.I. Asymmetric Core with an RG of 2.49, Diff of .054, and a 0.019 PSA.. The layout for this ball is 5x4.5x2 This one I am very pleased with as I haven’t thrown A ball from this line, but something spoke to me. Using this ball on a high-friction lower volume of oil showed the strength of what this ball is capable of being. I can say for sure and you can see from the video that this ball needs oil. This ball is very chuggy and needs oil to stay on line. If you are a speed dominant player you could stay in this ball but for me with average speed and lower rev rate I haven't been able to get a full game out of this ball at league but, that allows me the knowing that it will be really good on a higher pattern and/or a sport shot. In league I use this ball in the track for about half a game then jump into the Attention Star and usually that ball I can stay in the rest of the night by making smaller moves to the left than I would have to if I stayed in the Harsh Reality.

I had just drilled up my Absolute Power two weeks prior and decided to drill this bad boy up to roll a little earlier than it. I have been blown away with how strong this ball is on fresh it just grips and continues through the pins. While both balls are strong, the Power definitely has a bit more length than the Harsh with a sharper backend. The one thing I have noticed is the AI Core Technology is truly a gamechanger with how the Harsh Reality gets through the pins. This should be a very popular ball on fresh or patterns with more volume.

Harsh Reality Cover Stock: 902 Solid Finish: 2000 Grit Abralon Core: Disturbance Asymmetric Review: The Harsh Reality is the latest addition to the Reality series. The Reality line has been one of 900 Global’s most versatile asymmetric lines to date. With the ability to cover a wide range of ball motions that covers most lane conditions, the Reality line has become a must-have in the bag. The Harsh Reality is the next big ball in that line. The Harsh Reality is the type of ball you pull out of the bag early when the lane conditions are that of a higher volume. This ball really likes to dig into the oil and make a strong overall motion. If you are looking for a new ball before the Open Championship look no further! Will Tefft 900 Global Staff Member will@parklanes.net www.900global.com

The Harsh Reality takes the core shape we all loved from the original Reality series and combines it with A.I. core technology. When you combine this more dynamic core with the 902 Solid cover, the result is the strongest Reality I've thrown. This cover creates more traction than the original, and even backends more than the Reality Check due to the A.I. core. This ball is gonna be my first choice on heavy oil conditions, and also a great option to blend out the "cliff" on those over/under house conditions. This strong solid asym is early, blendy, and surprisingly tippy. This ball outhooks all the soild asyms I've had in recent years. The DNA, Gem, and Eternity Pi are all overall weaker and less dynamic downlane than the Harsh Reality. -Chase Valenzuela

Harsh Reality Cover: 902 Solid Reactive Core: Disturbance + AI RG: 2.47 RG Diff: 0.054 Int Diff: 0.019 My layout: 4.25 x 4.75 x 2.5 The Harsh Reality is a big solid asymmetrical ball that I see working best on heavy to med-heavy conditions. The 902 solid cover on the Harsh is not quite as early as I was expecting, but still digs hard. It reads the fronts even in heavy oil without getting off line too quick. The AI plus the high diff of this big asymm core really shines, because it makes a strong medium response move down lane. I was expecting the Harsh to be more of a replacement of my original Reality, but the core definitely tips a bit harder. Because of this I will probably keep mine at 1000 - 1500 grit as my go to finish to best fit in my bag. Bowler stats: Left handed PAP: 5 x 1/4up Rev rate: 400

900 Global Harsh Reality Coverstock: Reserve Blend 902 Solid Finish: 2000 Grit Abralon Core: Disturbance A.I. Asymmetric (14pd) RG: 2.49 Differential: 0.054 Int Diff: 0.019 Layout: 5 x 4 1/2 x 3 1/2 Layout Extras: 3" Finger Depth, "X" - 4 1/2 D and 1 Inch Left Tester: PAP 6 1/2 R, 1 1/4 D Review: The 900 Global Harsh Reality offers an optimized core design with an aggressive coverstock. This specific design is intended to maximize control with more hook potential then its predecessor the 900 Global Reality. This ball is definitely a number one ball out of the bag you are looking for but with a twist. The Harsh Reality just like the OG will allow you to continue to open the lane up as transition occurs a bit more than some other offerings. At times, "big asyms" tend to quit and the next ball down is not quite enough yet. The Harsh Reality should fill the gap on longer and higher volume patterns and will allow you to stay in a bit longer then previous releases. You should expect a continuous, strong reaction throughout the lane. Also, 900 has kept the Int diff lower on the Harsh Reality to achieve some length down lane so the ball as designed does not "hook at your feet" and "quit". This has been the legendary wow factor of the OG Reality and it continues on here. Plus being the first A.I. offering in the 900 line makes it even more attractive to possibly catch that up to five percent carry difference being discussed around Amplified Inertia. As previous noted above, the Harsh Reality will work best on longer and higher volume patterns. If your desire is to stay in your big asym longer as the lanes transition this ball will not disappoint. If you want the biggest hooking and most powerful 900 ball today in your bag this is the one! Don't hesitate to try out the 900 Global Harsh Reality today. Michael Slatky 900 Global Staff Member York, PA

The Harsh Reality is 900 Globals newest 900 series ball. For anyone that was a big fan of the Reality like myself, as soon as you heard it was discontinued, I was hoping the Harsh would be close. The Harsh features the same core as the original but is now wrapped in reserve blend 902 solid. The Harsh for me is just a touch earlier and stronger overall but still allows me to play in the same zone as my Reality. The Harsh having AI core technology slightly increases the overall diff and reduces the RG. The Harsh for me is going to be the perfect ball down from my GEM and ball up from my Summit.
