900 Global Vengeance Bowling Ball

Orientation: Right Handed Rev Rate: 400 RPM Speed: 16-17 MPH PAP: 4 1/8 over and 1 up Location: Enterprise Park Lanes, Springfield MO Pattern: High Volume THS VLS Layout: Layout 1: 4 3/8 x 4 x 2 ½ (Pin above bridge) Layout 2: 4 x 4 x 3 7/8 (pin below bridge) Strength Rating (out of 10) : 8 Shape: Strong Smooth Best Use: Medium/Heavy Oil Vengeance is a new sym solid! It’s a little earlier than the Phaze 2, but it’s much slower off the spot. Vengeance is VERY smooth. If you’re comparing to a Phaze 2, it will not change direction as much downlane. This can be a good if you’re trying to find a piece to control a very flat pattern. The Vengeance is probably less of a house shot killer and more of a sport shot killer. If that’s what you’re looking for then Vengeance is it!

Introducing the 900 Global Vengeance built for medium–heavy to heavy oil conditions, delivering strength without overreaction. This all-new core and cover combination produces one of the most dynamic symmetrical balls in 900 Global history, creating a readable, confident shape that holds up from the first frame to the last. It picks up in the mid-lane, stays smooth as the lanes transition, and still finishes with purpose downlane I am speed dominant, average rev rate 250-275ish, low-medium tilt and medium rotation. I drilled mine 30x4x30. My axis point is 4 3/8 over 1 3/8 up. This ball is good for me on medium oil conditions. In league I start with my Vengeance then migrate right into the Roto Grip Transformer. These two are great one two punch for game 1 and 2. Go get yours at your local Storm VIP shop today! #sm2proshop #StrikingWorldWide #Deviousbowling

The 900 Global Vengeance takes the place of the Sublime Focus as the symmetric solid in 900 Global’s lineup. The Vengeance is built around the brand new Blast A.I. Core and wrapped in the RB 91 Solid Reactive coverstock finished at 2000 grit. I drilled mine 4 1/2 x 4 x 2 1/2 — exactly how I drilled the Storm Summit, because the core numbers are very close, and I absolutely loved the Summit with that layout. If you matched up well with the Summit, I think you'll match up well with the Vengeance. What separates the Vengeance from previous 900 Global symmetric solids like the Sublime Focus is its ability to read the lane early like you'd expect a 2000 grit solid to do, while still having enough left in the tank to move on the backend. The Vengeance is not angular by any means, but it's a smooth, strong symmetric solid that's strong enough to start league and stable enough to last.

The Vengeance features a new Blast A.I. core and RB91 Solid coverstock combination and promises to be one of the most dynamic symmetrical bowling balls in 900 Global history. The Vengeance creates a surprisingly smooth, consistent and very distinguishable ball motion. I used a fairly standard pin-down layout on the Vengeance: 55 x 4 ¾ x 75. As I expected this ball to be smooth and controllable, I wanted the layout to complement those characteristics. As mentioned earlier, the Vengeance features a low RG, high differential Blast A.I. core. For me, low RG cores can often be situational, as they usually force me to move left sooner than I prefer. However, the Vengeance stays on line very easily and produces a smooth, continuous motion at the end of the pattern. In some instances, I did notice that as I increased my launch angles, the bowling ball wasn’t responsive enough to go through the pins properly. This behavior leads me to believe that this coverstock is also quite aggressive. However, the Vengeance seems to take hand position and ball speed adjustments well, which then allows the bowling ball to be in play for a longer time. I can see the Vengeance being a strong candidate to be the first ball out of the bag in several situations. With its smooth, controllable motion, I can see it working well on fresh medium to shorter oil patterns where control at the end of the pattern is very important. I also expect it to match up well on many house patterns, as it does a good job of blending wet and dry conditions.

900 Global Vengeance Coverstock: RB91 Solid Reactive Box Finish: 2000-grit Abralon Core: Blast A.I. Core RG: 2.47, Diff: 0.055 (15 lbs) VLS Layout: 5 x 4 x 2-1/2 Dual Angle Layout: 55 x 5 x 35 PAP: 5 3/16” right x 5/8” up Rev rate: 400 rpm Average speed: 16.5 mph Location: Prairie Lanes, Sun Prairie, WI Pattern: Medium volume THS The 900 Global Vengeance is the newest ball in the 800 Series line. It features an all-new core/cover combination designed for medium-heavy to heavier oil volumes. The RB91 solid cover absorbs oil quickly and gives a fresh surface from shot-to-shot. It’s aired with the Blast A.I. core, which helps give the Vengeance a strong and predictable mid-lane read while saving energy for the backend. The intent is for a ball that fits at the top of the bag for when you need early traction but still maintains some overall shape leading into when the lanes start to breakdown and transition. I drilled my Vengeance with my typical pin-up drilling. I’ve seen early and continuous ball motion which has been very much needed in my arsenal. For me, it’s a slight step down from bigger asymmetric core balls like the Storm Ion Max or Roto Grip RST HyperDrive but is stronger than the 900G Origin EX or Cove. The Vengeance gives me a very strong and stable reaction which can be great for blending out over/under league conditions, but I think this will be even better on medium-length and heavier volume sport/challenge conditions. I could certainly see this ball making the trip to this year’s USBC Open Championships in Reno and being a ball to start with for a strong, controlled, and predictable motion. For me, the 900 Global Vengeance fits the spot in my bag where I need a strong and continuous benchmark-type ball reaction. It’s a definite first ball out of the bag when the lanes are fresh. This will be a must have for tournament bowlers (hence why it’s in the Tournament Collection), but I could also see others bringing it up to either a 4000-grit or lane-shine finish to help it retain more energy and shape for the backend.

DESCRIPTION: The 900 Global Vengeance is a new solid symmetric high-performance ball. Its design balances traction and control aimed primarily at medium-heavy to heavy oil conditions. Coverstock: RB91 Solid Reactive Core: Blast A.I. Symmetric Factory Finish: 2000 Abralon RG (15 lb): 2.47 Diff: 0.055–0.056 COMMENTS: With my 15 mph ball speed and 275-300 RPM the Vengeance seems to find friction earlier in the midlane. The solid RB91 cover is designed to soak up oil aggressively and read the lane early and my speed helps that read rather than overpowering it. Because my release is moderate, the ball won’t look “dead early”, instead it starts to shape sooner than many other solids on med/heavy oil patterns, which can be ideal for holding my line longer and keeping predictable ball motion. My pin down layout is VLS 4¼ × 4¼ × 4 layout puts a fair amount of core influence into play, increasing mid-lane traction and transition stability. The Vengeance will feel comfortable through the mids, not skidding forever, but smoothly building energy and not panicking when it hits friction. When it reads the midlane it will continue with authority, producing a controlled, continuous arc to the pocket rather than a late, sharp flip. This makes it reliable as lanes transition and oil patterns break down. Keep in mind I'm playing the track and this is the first ball in my bag. This ball is a WORKHORSE! Early mid-lane read, gets traction in oil quickly, great for my speed and revs with predictable shape. The combination of symmetric core and my layout helps keep transitions manageable with the strong but controlled backend motion. Compared to the 900 Global Sublime Focus or hybrid 900 Global Viking, the Vengeance gives more midlane and backend traction, meaning you can stay in it longer and still get consistent pin carry. Conclusion: If you’re regularly bowling on heavier house patterns this ball will likely become a go-to piece in your arsenal when you need control and carry. VISIT A STORM VIP PROSHOP TODAY

The Vengeance is that big, strong, rolly symmetric ball that is essential on heavy oil and longer sport patterns. The obvious comparison will be to the Sublime Focus, and while they are similar, the Vengeance has more overall traction. I drilled mine pin down, because I intend to use this ball for fresh at USBC Nationals; over the years I have found that a strong, sanded pin-down symmetric works best for me in that situation. Bowlers who have a higher ball speed – to – rev rate ratio will absolutely love this ball, as they will find it very difficult to shoot this ball through the break point. In the bag, the Vengeance is now the strongest 900 Global ball in production.

The new 900 Global Vengeance features the RB91 solid reactive coverstock and the Blast A.I. core. The ball is finished at 2000 grit abralon and at 15 pounds the Vengeance has a low RG of 2.47 and a differential of .055. I am a fan of symmetrical solid balls, and the Vengeance is no different. I drilled mine with my usual 5x5x2 which puts the pin above my bridge. This is a first ball out of the bag reaction for me. It allows me to play inside in the oil away from the masses ball tracks and high friction area of the lane. For as strong as the coverstock is, the Vengeance clears the front part of the lane quite easily and really reads the midlane well. The backend is strong and continuous. This ball is great in the oil but it allows me to send it away from the pocket and still have the backend strength to kick out those corner pins. The center I bowl in is lower volume, so it is rare that I can bowl a whole league set with this ball without having to switch to the Viking or something even weaker. I cannot wait to get to throw this ball on the heavier sport patterns at tournaments. Another winner from 900 Global.

Vengeance is the newest symmetrical solid option from 900 Global. If you're like me, you probably saw this ball announced and thought: how will this possibly compete with the Phaze 2? or the RockStar? Well, I reviewed it up against the RockStar and I can say that in terms of hook shape, there is a distinct difference. The Vengeance isn't a Phaze 2 replacement, it's a compliment. Phaze 2 is beloved for providing slightly more length and downlane shape than similar symmetrical solid options. Vengeance goes the other direction; earlier and smoother than the Phaze 2, this ball almost acts as a baby solid asym. Midlane traction and smooth continuation off the end of the pattern make this a great ball for fresh conditions and for blending out cliffed house shots. Use the Phaze 2 when you need a balance of predictability and backend continuation. Vengeance is for the fresh house shot and transition where wet/dry are present, blending them out in a strong and smooth package that fits perfectly with the other options from SPI, and fills a nice gap between Phaze 2 and Equinox Solid/Ion Max. -Chase Valenzuela

This is not a benchmark ball — it’s your “step up” piece. When my benchmark symmetrical starts to miss the spot in heavier oil, the Vengeance comes in and stabilizes everything. It blends the pattern better than most strong asymmetrics I’ve thrown. Instead of being sideways off the friction, it’s strong and heavy through the pins. If you need something above your benchmark for fresh oil, this fits perfectly.
