900 Global Vengeance Review
The 900 Global Vengeance brings .055 differential Blast AI core to destroy house shots, competing with Storm Bionic at $174.95. Video reviews inside.
Even though there's a steep launch angle, that ball once it starts to go, it keeps going. That's continuation. That's continuous. That's the right kind of shape that will make it make it usable for a lot of different styles. CEO Ronald Hicklin from Creating the Difference. Today we're going to talk about the 900 Global Vengeance. This ball features the RB91 solid cover stock, the Blast AI core shape that's symmetrical with an RG of 2.47, a differential of 0.055,
and a mass blast of zero because it's symmetrical. The factory finish is 2,000 grit Aberlon. The hardness is 74, scanned right at 1,000 grit with the CTD version 2 surface scanner. The absorption is fast. The layout is 60x 4 1/2 by 30. And I got two guests with me this time. I got Chris. What up, Chris? >> What's happening? And I got Dustin. What's going on, Dustin? >> What's up, man? It's been a minute since I've met in a bar review. So, >> yeah, man. I'm excited. I'm excited. >> We glad to have you back here. So, if you guys aren't a member of our staff, may consider joining. It's free to join.
Uh, if we get a green colored headpin, we will offer something special. And if you are a member of our staff and we get a green colored headpin, there will be even more something special. Chris, gray, light gray, dark gray. What do you think about the color of this ball? It's mid. >> It's mid. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Now, I'm g tell you something. When I saw it, I was like, man, this logo looks kind of like not familiar, but looks a little familiar. I'm like, what does this look remind me of? And I was thinking about it. This reminds me
of the Marvel movies. You know what I'm saying? Like the A, you know what I'm saying? >> I don't know if that's what they was going for or not, but that's what it reminded me of. Dustin, you got any comments about the Vix before we throw it on the lane here? >> No. I mean, it's usually the the muted [music] color balls and the darker color balls look pretty good. So, >> well, we're going to find out what the venance is all about right now, Dustin. What do we say? >> First shot doesn't count, but that one looked pretty good. Hey, man, let me know if you like this shirt. This is one of our jerseys that we have. We got a
bunch of jerseys over at cdbing.com. So, let me know if you like the jersey. If you don't like it, that's cool. Just say in the comments, "Yeah, on to the next one." You know, we got a lot more balls to do, a lot more videos, and a lot more dri we can show you. So, if you do like it, let us know. It comes in different colors. Uh, this is just one of the color schemes, but if you don't like us, let us know, too. Let's show that flare. A lot of flare going on right here. You can see that good old 6 in. >> I mean, those two shots were pretty close to each other.
>> They're pretty close. That reaction pretty close, too. >> Yeah. you know, this ball has a pretty pretty high diff uh with 055. Where would you fit, you know, this type of ball in somebody's arsenal? [music] >> So, for me, this seems like I mean, 050 plus is high, so that means it's going to be one of them balls that's more on a fresh. Unless you bowl on a high high volume house pack. You bow on high volume house, this could be in play, too. It's super early, but I like the shape. It looks like it's going to be continuous. >> Yeah, absolutely. >> Woo! She look like she picking up.
>> Now, look at those shots. Let's go ahead and zoom in on that. >> That's what you call aced.com. >> Yeah, we're repeating shots. The ball just appears to be getting a little bit stronger, but those shots are on top of each other. >> But, you know, that's typically kind of what happens, right? It's like you get a new ball, you got to bowl a little with it to get some oil on it before you really find out, you know, how it rolls. So, I also like that it's a fast absorbing ball. I think the faster the absorption, [music] the more opportunity you have to get a consistent reaction. Uh, and I think this ball at least is exhibiting a strong character and it's
maintaining that thus far. I'm gonna move in a little bit. Dustin, based on that, what would you what would your move be? >> Four and two. Man, he left-handed, bro. >> I know. We're in the nosebleleeds. Ah, black out. Had a little help there with the pattern, but that's what's supposed to happen, man. Oh, you want room for error. The more room for error you have, obviously, the higher your score will be. And I missed in and it picked up enough to hit like it's supposed to hit. >> We call that the shim. And it shimmed
right to the pocket for 10 back. >> All right, let's do that four and two now. There it is. I mean, he might be left-handed, but I would say that was a pretty good move. >> Yeah, man. >> Yeah, it looked good. It looked good. >> So, this ball this ball might get missed. >> Why do you say that? ah cuz it's 900 global and they don't have the same brand strength. And so let me tell you my interpretation. When ball companies launch a bunch of balls at once, the ball companies can't put all the same effort and focus on all the balls. So
they have to kind of cherrypick and then as a consumer, right, we're consumers. As a consumer, we're going to know about the ball that's being talked about the most. So this ball is coming out around the same time as another bowling ball. And that other bowling ball is the ones that be talked about the most. So I'm hoping that people do watch the video, take a look at this piece because it shouldn't get missed. >> Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think it looks good, MAN. >> OH, SNAP. WE GOT IT. I didn't even notice. Already got it. >> Already. >> All right. This is what we're going to do. If I strike on this shot, you're going to be able to save 10% on any jersey on ctdbo.com. You use the code
jersey. That will allow you to save the 10%. If you are a staff member and you're watching this video in the first 24 hours, that discount is 15%. >> Oh boy. >> Got it. I liked And I thought I missed left, but I caught it really good. Sorry. I actually thought I had it though cuz I caught it. I'm like, "Ah, I missed left, but I caught it, but obviously I didn't." Sorry.
This one's a good one. This one's a good one. >> Now, we say it's a good one, but a good one for who? You know, >> I think most styles of play are going to work with will be fine with this bowling ball. And the reason why I say that is because it's a strong continuous ball. So, if you throw it hard, I'm a little bit on the higher ball speed side. Obviously, there's no issue with me. If you throw it slower, because it's continuous, it will still keep going. You'll be fine. As an example, we'll move in. I'll slow it down. I'll get around it and show you exactly what that looks like. We'll put the lights on, too.
So, even though there's a steep launch angle, that ball once it starts to go, it keeps going. That's continuation. And that's continuous. That's the right kind of shape that will make it make it usable for a lot of different styles. It's pretty close. Set down on 33 out to seven. >> I wouldn't quite call this benchmark reaction. I think it's a little shorter
than that. >> I mean, to me it looks earlier than I had anticipated. Um, based off of your first shot, you know, it seemed like it was nice and round, but now it seems like it's starting to get earlier. So, when you get it in, it hooks earlier, but when you get it out, it kind of rolls forward. >> Going a little forward. Yeah. Yep. Yep. >> Bingo. >> See, that's what I'm saying. Like, you get it a little further left >> and it just doesn't >> where it should go, it doesn't. >> Right. And then a little further in it just a little it's more aggressive or I
guess a little earlier. Well, let's go left. Let's go left then. Yeah, cuz that wasn't a bad shot. >> That is not necessarily a bad thing. It's just a limit. >> No. Yeah, it's a limit. And that wasn't a bad shot at all. I'm like, yeah, that was good. We'll go left. Decrease the rotation. Take the hand off the ball. >> Oh, boy. You ain't like that at all, huh? >> I mean, it's so rolly, but I'm afraid if you touch it a little, it's going to hook a bunch. But I feel like balls is early rolly like that are kind of hard to throw up the right unless you got the
right condition or throw straight or up the lane. >> Oh, okay. We can do it again. We do it again. All right. Choose your destiny. Give me my vengeance. [screaming and cheering] >> There it is. There's your discount. The code is jersey. J E R S E Y. So, if you're a member of our staff, it's 15% off. If you're watching the video and you're not a member of our staff, but on YouTube, it's 10% off over at
ctdbling.com. Appreciate you guys uh watching and tuning in. And thank you, Vengeance, for striking when we need you to. >> Oh, >> so it's early. >> Yeah. See, you see how it picked up? >> That's what I said. Yeah. which then forces you back to move over or I mean just go more up more this way >> like a ball like this good when the volume is real high you know this ball might be sick on the brush >> yeah high volume
>> it's pretty close >> that's the right that's what you're supposed to do it's just a little too early that's all right so let me get one more good shot we'll move back to where we were then we're going to change the service >> yeah if you did that at like third arrow it' probably be 10 back. >> Oh. >> Oh, >> that's crazy. It's only one pin in there, too. >> There's only one pin >> and we keep getting it. Like, how's that happen? >> All right, so this is what we're going to do this time. If I am able to strike, you got to go to the website. You have
to spend $100. You need to add a 5 in six-pack of True Cut sanding pads to your order and then use the discount code six-pack. Six, the number six, P A C.

your discount. So, $100 in before taxes. Use the code the number six P A C. Add it to the cart. it'll discount it for free and that's what you get as a gift. Appreciate you guys again. Uh let's do a service change. So this ball's dull so we're going to actually gonna polish it. Vengeance is now at 5500 grit true cut hand polish plus. What y'all think now?
I mean >> she's shiny. >> Yeah, she's shiny. >> It actually looks better like this. I like it. I like it. Show Show. Let me see. Let me see. Put it Put a little Yeah, she Yeah, I like it like that. Cleaner, smoother. >> First shot doesn't count though. >> And the first shot don't count. Definitely longer and smoother. >> Yeah, but that's what we figured it was
going to be as early as it was. That's what polish does, >> right? So, we can get into the friction now cuz we're just in too much oil. We'll get in the friction, be fine. >> Yeah. Yeah. I think you get back over there on that first arrow, we might have some. Little more left. >> Oh, it hooked early. >> See, that one faced up. >> It hooked early. >> That one faced up at 20 ft. >> Yeah. As soon as it hit the lane, it it started hooking. >> So, I squared up to it, right? Then it
hooked too quick. There you go. I mean, I feel like that shape is kind of what you would expect because it was super strong a little early before. It's now cleaner, right? Longer and then it's smoother, more control. >> Yep. It'll be good when they hard. >> Yeah. >> This would be a good bowling ball for like you bowling a tournament. They going to be a little challenging and maybe a high volume of oil flatter. >> Yeah. >> There you go. >> Yeah. You got a little bit of room for
error. I think I like it with more surface than without the surface on it, but I feel like this is a good potential piece to add to your arsenal if you need something that's a little more hooked. Yeah, I think it'll be good for them places that got like big back end where the lane naturally hooks a lot down lane. Now you got more information about the brand new 900 Global Venes. Go to our website, pick up one of these bowling balls. On behalf of Dustin Zer and Christopher Modro, I'm CEO Ron. Talk to you soon.
Performance Analysis
Performance Analysis
Testing revealed the 900 Global Vengeance to be a strong mid-lane reagent with a notably aggressive backend reaction. When evaluated on a 40-foot sport shot with moderate lane transition, the ball displayed earlier ball motion compared to its counterpart (the Evoke), picking up revs noticeably sooner down the lane. Independent reviewers observed that out of the box at 1500 surface finish, the Vengeance responded well to the test pattern, though a slight surface adjustment to 1500 grit pad made it marginally earlier through the breakpoint—a useful consideration for bowlers who need to fine-tune reaction on evolving lane conditions. The ball generated significant hooking potential in the backend, with testers noting it “stood up the quickest” among the balls tested, delivering aggressive pin action and demonstrating reliable carry through multiple strike attempts.
Comparative analysis showed the Vengeance occupying an interesting middle ground within 900 Global’s symmetric solid lineup. While not positioned as a top-tier reactive solid, the ball proved versatile enough for tournament play, with testers expressing confidence in its ability to maintain control when moving left into fresh oil or transitioning lanes. One notable observation: the ball’s motion allowed bowlers more margin for error compared to smoother-reading alternatives, a significant advantage when adjusting on the fly during competition. Testers indicated they would confidently reach for this ball in challenging oil patterns, comparing its utility favorably to other premium mid-heavy offerings in the market. The Vengeance delivered predictable, dependable performance without surprise downlane behavior—exactly what medium-heavy oil bowlers typically need.
Who Is This Ball For?
The 900 Global Vengeance is ideally suited for competitive bowlers who regularly encounter medium-heavy oil conditions and need a reliable symmetric solid that reads the lane earlier without sacrificing control. Tournament players and serious league bowlers who value confidence in their equipment will appreciate its aggressive backend reaction and forgiving margin for error. This ball works particularly well for bowlers who like to play straighter lines or who face lane transition, as its early pickup allows for natural movement into the pocket without requiring excessive rev rates or dramatic hand adjustments.
This is not an entry-level ball, nor is it the strongest option in 900 Global’s arsenal—making it perfect for intermediate-to-advanced bowlers who have developed consistent release mechanics and understand how to work with reactive coverstock equipment. Bowlers preparing for sport patterns or tournament conditions who want a step down from the heaviest oil-conditions equipment will find the Vengeance strikes the right balance between power and manageability. At $174.95, it represents reasonable value for a solid-coverstock tournament tool that delivers performance without breaking the bank.
The Pros
- • Blast AI core with .055 diff — powerful symmetric
- • Compared favorably against Storm Bionic and Motiv Evoke
- • Strong on medium-heavy house shots
The Cons
- • Single colorway (Grey) — less exciting look
- • Solid coverstock requires maintenance

Bowlers frequently mention:
Strong, Controllable, and liable is the way I would describe this ball. Digs through the oil, easily predicable, and goes through the pins with ease. This ball has earned a spot in my tournament bag, don’t miss out!
TESTING ENVIRONMENT Type: Lakes Bowl House Shot BALL: 900 Global Vengeance Coverstock: RB91 Solid Cover Core: : Blast A.I. Core Finish: 2000 Grit RG: 2.48 (14 Pounds) Differential: 0.056 (14 Pounds) MB/PSA: NA (14 Pounds) ME: Right-Handed Tweener Speed: 14-15 mph Rev Rate: 220 PAP: 5 7/16 Right 1/8 Down Layout: 45x4x30 900 Global says “The oil didn’t get lighter. Your ball choice just got smarter. The Vengeance was 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. Strong enough to start league. Stable and predictable enough to last. Engineered for medium/heavy–heavy oil. Surprisingly good at everything else.” Now onto my review portion of this ball. When we drilled this ball up I was asked if I wanted to hit the surface? My PSO threw his the night before and as a strong ball he felt his was a tad slower. I wanted to see what the ball looked like on the fresh. It looked good and I really wanted to throw it up against the Transformer. The Transformer digs into the lane and is strong and allows me to use it for about one game before having to make a big move. Now with the Vengeance it too is strong but unlike the Transformer it gets through the heads very well and really starts hooking in the midlane and has a lot of pop left when it hits the pins. These two balls are both really good strong options that I feel can be in the same bag as there are two different shapes.

Used it for the first time in my Thursday league and I love this ball hits the pocket very controllable.

NY, United States
Layout: 5 x 4 x 3 Surface: 2000 abralon with added Power Edge Polish Rev Rate: 470 Tilt: 13* The brand new 900 Global Vengeance brings a brand-new core and coverstock combination. The new Blast-AI core brings a low RG and very high Differential which was similar to the discontinued Sublime Focus but is more of a single density shape which allows for better overall continuation. The main difference here is the RB 91 Solid coverstock which is the strongest coverstock seen in a Symmetrical Solid in quite some time. I was able to test this on my typical 43ft house pattern with medium volume. At the box surface of 2000 abralon, I saw pretty strong and heavy roll on the fresh. Trying to play up the lane more gave me a lot of earlier hook and was not ideal to the conditions I was on. As I started to move left with my feet, I saw a better motion because the ball didn't read up front as quickly. For me, it needs more of a left to right motion through the front of the lane to see the correct midlane motion to go through the pins. Since my house pattern is not high volume, the box surface does not allow me to have ample use of the ball with my high rev rate. I decided to then put power edge polish on the ball to see if the shine allowed me to use the ball more frequently. I was pleasantly surprised at the ball motion I saw after adding the polish. Just like the factory surface, I still had a little trouble being straighter on the fresh. The strength of the core and cover still ultimately read the fronts too much and didn't continue well. As I got into around 20 with my feet throwing around 13 to 5, my eyes lit up. Much cleaner through the front of the lane with great continuation in the backend. It gave me area left and right of target that I don't usually see with strong cores. I was able to play up 10 and see hold and I was able to throw it to 5 and it blended the lanes pretty well. As I moved further left, the ball actually got better. It continued very well again getting it to the friction at 5 or missing in to 10. Like most stronger cover balls, the ball tends to roll out or use its energy up quickly when you get far left with your feet. I had no issues here at all. The Vengeance did not start to roll out until I got to around 35 with my feet which was truly impressive. I recommend this ball more for heavier oil conditions. If you are looking for a strong overall bowling ball, this could be a good ball. It does tend to continue very well if you can get the ball through the front part of the lane. Designed for the fresh, this would be the most optimal spot for it. However, you can polish it like I did and get more overall use out of it. Adam Chase Storm Staff
