900 Global Xponent Bowling Ball

900 Global – Xponent Pearl Patterns used for review: Pattern A1: 41 Ft 27Mls 8:1 COMMENTS LAYOUT: 5X4X1, I used multiple hand positions and speed changes which changes rev rate, read and speed of ball. PLAY The 900 Global Xponent Pearl. Definitely worth the read. Something you need to think about as far as a bench mark mid ball in your arsenal that is a pearl. Pattern A1: The Xponent isa favorite of mine. Typically, I carry one at 2000 grit and the other 2000/polished. When the Xponent Pearl came out I was excited to add that one element for pattern transition without making to many adjustments as the pattern developed. Initially the XP was smooth and strong off the spot one the fresh. Easy to get down the lane and a strong move to the pocket. I decided to take out a 2000 Xponent and Phaze II to transition the lanes a little faster. After 4 games and other bowlers on the lane the XP was brought out again. The XP definitely shined more so at this point than on the fresh. The control and recovery showed me its strengths as the pattern transitioned. The Xponent Pearl will actually move up ahead of the polished Xponent and free a space in the bag. The XP responded to speed changes without reading the pattern to quick and transitioning. The XP actually became better as the pattern continued to transition and the cover started to break in. LOW DOWN: The Xponent Pearl is a ball that fits nicely in the middle of the arsenal for all bowlers but won’t penalize lower/slower speed/rev players. Definitely a great league ball. More to follow on challenge and sport patterns.

I am a higher speed, rev challenged 220-250ish, high tilt, high rotation, and super low track player. I drilled 900 Global Xponent 5 x 3 x 2 and my axis point is 3 ¼ right and 7/8 up. The 900 Global Xponent symmetric solid reactive piece that I really like medium/low volume patterns where there’s lots of friction . The low Rg and medium diff gives this ball medium- high flare potential when I need something to be clean, smooth, and controllable this is the ball to go to.

The 900 Global Xponent features the Shrapnel 2.0 symmetrical core with the All New Reserve Blend 701 cover. The Shrapnel Core was last featured in the Ordnance C4. But the coverstock had yet to be seen before the Xponent. For the most part the Xponent reminded me a lot of the Ordnance C4 but better in my opinion. The Xponent offers me an amazing benchmark type reaction that is a little less overall than the Phaze 2 but a little bit earlier and smoother than say an IQ Tour Solid. If I am going to be honest the Xponent for me has not been amazing on a house shot. The IQ tour is definitely a better option for me. But on any sport pattern it is the exact opposite. The Xponent has became one of my go to’s on anything hard. But I will say all because it’s that way for me doesn’t mean it will be that way for you. Everybody is different and even if one ball doesn’t match up for you doesn’t mean it won’t match up for somebody else! I will end my review on this. If you are looking for a good all around bench mark ball then look no further than the 900 Goobal Exponent!

The 900 Global Xponent is the best example of a benchmark in the current Global line (in my humble opinion). At a 4000 grit finish, an RG of 2.48 and a very medium differential of 0.042, it's an extremely predictable motion throughout every part of the lane and easily the first ball out of many bags. I drilled mine 5 3/4 x 4 x 2, and it's the smoothest ball in my bag outside of urethane. For the cliffed up house shots or anything medium volume, this is the one. The upcoming Xponent Pearl should complement this extraordinarily well and allow you to stay in your comfort zone just a little longer by using both as a 1-2 combo.

Great benchmark ball Layout: 50x5x50 / 5x4.25x2.75 Two hander, 450 rpm, 15.5 mph This ball surpassed all my expectations and has been one of the most versatile balls ive thrown this year. Its definitely a perfect middle-of-the-bag type of ball, got plenty of options above and below it. I think it fits between a Phaze II and an IQ Tour, just clean, smooth, and medium strength. I can use it on different houses, different sport shots (especially the short/medium length ones or once it starts to dry up but the backends are still tight), straight or hooking the whole lane, handled surface and shine well, etc.. it was just a super versatile ball that worked best when you needed a bit of an early rolling and smooth reaction.

Layout: 45 x 4 ½ x 40 The 900 Global Xponent is the definition of a benchmark bowling ball, which makes it one of the most versatile balls available. It is best at home at medium oil patterns, is clean through the fronts, and has a smooth arc motion in the midlane and backend. It is clean enough in the front part of the lane to use on medium-dry lane conditions, which isn't always the case with bowling balls with solid coverstocks. The easiest and most valid comparison for the Xponent is the Storm IQ Tour Solid, and I do think they are quite similar. The stronger core of the Xponent gives it a slightly different shape, but the overall amount of motion is very similar. This ball is a great piece to build an arsenal around.

About Me 900 Global Staff Left Handed: High Rev High Speed Player Layout: 5 X 5 X 3 Pap: - 47/8 +1 Rev Rate: +-500 Speed 17-18mph Ball Video: hhttps://youtu.be/1RUvY-QOpoQ The 900 Global Xponent is my new benchmark ball in my bag. I am extremely happy that this ball came out. I had the C4 and wished it had just a little more length and a little more backend and that is what the Xponent just gave me. Not did this ball also give me the length and backend that I wanted but I am also able to have a very controllable and predictable ball in my hand. I have not seen so much miss room out of a ball until I threw the Xponent. The hitting power out of this ball is ridiculous. I am so happy that 900 Global has rejuvenated the C4 and made Xponent everything that I have been looking for.

Layout: 5 x 4 x 2 VLS The Xponent is currently the only ball in the 700 series, so based on that, it should be in the mid-level performance range, perfect for a benchmark ball - not too diggy early and not too flippy in the back end. The Xponent provides a nice consistent read, which allows it to be versatile, but I feel most comfortable playing straighter lines right of 3rd arrow. I could see this as a great ball to keep me out of trouble on tougher challenge and sport conditions. My Specs - Speed - 16 mph, Rev Rate - 315. PAP 5 1/8 x 7/8 Up.

Bowler Stats: Speed: 15.5 MPH Rev Rate: 275 RPM Tilt: 3-5 degrees Axis Rotation: 60 degrees PAP: 5 ⅜ over 1 ¼ up Layout: 4 ¾ X 4 ½ X 2 ¼ VLS The 900 Global Xponent is in the benchmark category when comparing it to the Phaze II and Summit. I drilled this piece with a stronger layout for bowling the PBA50 Tour. Out of box this ball is slightly weaker than my Phaze II and also slower off the end of the pattern where the Phaze II has more continuous motion. On the house shot the Xponent is not a ball I can move left and swing the lane with. I need to keep my angles shallower towards my target and get help from the dry at the end of the pattern. I did have success using the Xponent on the Monacelli 40’ PBA pattern during the Lightning Strikes PBA 50 National Tour event on the fresh. With the surface of the Xponent I scratched it with a 1000 abralon by hand and I have let it shine up by itself. This has helped blend the wet/dry on the house pattern which has more volume than the PBA 50 patterns. Pete Dohan Storm Bowling Amateur Staff #StormNation

The 900 Global Xponent is the newest edition in the 700 series line, and it does not disappoint. I drilled my Xponent 4.75x4x4 2ls as that is my benchmark layout for symmetric balls. This ball offers an insane amount of versatility and control that I have never seen in another ball. It is hard to compare it to anything else in the SPI lineup, but for me it is a cross between an IQ Tour Solid and the Phaze 2. Whether you need to play up the boards or stand farther left on transition or burn, the Xponent is not going to let you down.
