900 Global Wolverine Review

Bowlers Info: RH tweener, PAP 4-1/2 x 7/8 up, 365 RPM, 17* of Axis tilt, 60* of Axis Rotation Ball Layout: 50 x 5.75 x 40 Finish: OOB The release of the Wolverine by 900 brings a dry-lane option to your bag that’s does not lack strength or power on the backend. I’ve been hearing comparisons like it’s a step up from the Hyroad pearl. For me, it’s like a cleaner, stronger version of the Idol Pearl. The 2.54 RG will naturally get the ball thru the fronts, but the .053 differential tells you it will be storing that energy for the backend and boy does it. I went with a long pin layout that puts is just above and left of my middle finger as I wanted something super clean with great recovery for burned up patterns requiring me to play deeper angles. What I was impressed was, not only the color scheme that has some purple sheen pearl in there you can’t see from pics, but this is a very strong pearl I can really open up my angles if I need to and know this ball will come back and hit with energy. So if you’re needing a ball for those later games in league without sacrificing strong hitting power, talk to your PSO about the Wolverine! Chris Martinez Storm Amateur Staff www.stormbowling.com

Wolverine 55 x 5 x 25 This is the perfect compliment to the Zen! This cover feels naturally cleaner than the Zen cover, it goes 3-5 feet longer and pops harder of of the spot! When the Zen gets a little too early and lazy in the back, this ball picks right up where you left off with the Zen! Higher RG core helps it get further down the lane and there is plenty of differential to help create flare potential. This ball reminds me of a new stronger updated Drift! I love it, it will travel with me everywhere I go!

United States

Layout 40 x 4 x 20 Surface: 3000 The new Wolverine brings a new symmetrical core shape to the 900 Global 700 series while bringing out the S70 Pearl coverstock. Long story short, this ball brings the ultimate skid/flip in the 900 Global lineup. I brought the surface down to 3000 in order to tame down the really clean coverstock in the S70 pearl. I also drilled it on the stronger side for me in order to get that same slower overall shape. Due to my ball speed and rev rate, very angular balls don't tend to matchup with my style as much. My Wolverine allows me to be closer to the friction and also allows me to throw the ball directly to the friction faster than I would typically be able to. This ball will come with me on typical house shots that tend to be on the medium to lighter end and sport patterns that are medium to short in length especially in later games. When there is a lot of oil or longer lengths, the Altered Reality or Zen will work better for my style. For those who like that skid/flip motion will really like this ball a lot as it produces a ton of angle off the dry parts of the lane. If you prefer more midlane roll, don't be afraid to take the surface down on this one in order for the ball to slow down quicker. Adam Chase Storm Staff

This could be something very special…I was a huge fan of the Unhinged from RotoGrip, and this ball kinda has those vibes. This is a symmetrical pearl that glides through the fronts and mids then makes a pretty strong motion down lane. I hit mine with an old 2000 pad just to smooth out the transition a bit and to bring the motion back towards the foul line a bit. This ball is going to be amazing on fronts that are burned up or on wood. Excited for all the honor scores that will be thrown with this piece! Layout for me is: 4.25x5.25x2 Other balls getting a lot of play: Dark Code-4.5x4.25.3.75 UFO Alert-4.5x5x3.75 Altered Reality-4.25x5.25x2

The 900 Global Wolverine is incredibly clean and ridiculously sharp down the lane. The modified badger core and pearl S70 cover is one of the easiest balls to get down the lane I have thrown in a while. On a semi broken down house shot, it got back from literally everywhere. It was truly "stand left, throw right", and watch the pins fall. It was every bit as clean as the White Hot Badger was, but sharper down the lane for me. It was a good step down from the Trend 2 when I had to clear the front and mids just a little more. This is THE ball when you need to get through the dry and still create some angle down the lane, it does not disappoint.

900 Global Wolverine Layout: 55 X 1 X 60 - 1500 grit with factory polished Test drive on SPL lane surface with 46ft THS with a Kegel ION lane machine WOW.. The Wolverine has a serious return on the investment so far. Off the pattern, it looks like a little bowling gnome is standing 4 feet before the rack and the ball goes HARD and STRONG thru the pins. Usually 1 inch pin drillings for me read early, as designed and get super smooth. Well, I was quite surprised by the strong reaction the ball had in the back end. It was not over / under at all during the course of practice and then league. Had 2 other lefties on the pair with me and I just adjusted to the left of where they were playing, to stay clean and still keep striking without losing any carry. So IMPRESSED by the ball, several bowlers ordered and bought Wolverines that night. My one teammate went and drove over 1 1/2 hours to a pro shop that had one in stock the very next day. The Wolverine to me reminds me of the Hyroad Pearl I had a few years ago with a just a tick longer skid, but a stronger overall reaction in the back end. The Wolverine is NOT a SHEEP... Its a KILLER of racks!!!

United States

This ball is long and clean through the fronts. For me this ball is best on drier lanes or later in blocks of a tournament. It is longer the the HoneyBadger balls to me. It is very useful when you need the ball to get down lane but still make the corner to the pocket.

United States

My review, its a great ball indeed, I love the way it rolls! After throwing the ball a little, the back end was a little to sharp for me. So I hit the ball with a 3000 pad and I liked it a lot better. All depends on where you play and how they take care of the back ends. I'm a right hander...and right out of the box on fresh clean back ends, yeah, for me...it just snapped a little to much. ok if you got it a little right, but if you tugged it, yeah through the nose all the time. Now after I hit it with a 3000 pad, got a little lane shine on it, I really like it. So if the Reality, then the Altered Reality are a bit to much. The Zen Master and the Zen are a little to much, Grab this Wolverine and it rolls very very nice!

United States

The all new 900 Global Wolverine features the Lacerate 2.0 Core wrapped around the S70 Pearl Reactive coverstock. The Wolverine has been one of my favorite releases from 900, this ball is a perfect compliment to the Zen and Burner Pearl. The Wolverine helps bridge the gap in between the two offering continuous down lane motion late in blocks. Go out and get yours today!

Wolverine Ball Specs Cover Stock: S70 Pearl Finish: 1500 Grit Polished Layout:5 x 4 x 4 RG: 2.54 Differential: 0.053 Review A new ball with the great s70 coverstock, always gets my attention. Then combining the cores of my favorite 900 global balls, badger and honey badger, the only question I ask myself was why did I wait on this ball. When reviewing this ball, after testing the Nova, I immediately remembered everything I every loved about all badgers. These balls are just good. Here comes the wolverine, and like its superhero counter part, it pulls out its claws and goes to work. To me, this ball was a little sooner than the gold honey badger, later than the white hot badger, with all the back end you could ever ask for. If you were a fan of the honey badger or the white hot badger, ask yourself now, WHY DO I NOT HAVE A WOLVERINE. The cover is versatile and while this may not be a typical benchmark ball, this ball is certainly one that should be in your carry bags to all events.

The Wolverine is the newest addition to the Global 900, 700 series line. With the The Lacerate 2.0 Core, using the top portion of the Honey Badger, and the bottom portion is that of the Badger. By merging these two amazing cores into one and adding a dense flip block, we have created an engine that will change directions unbelievably sharp. Paired with the S70 Pearl Coverstock, this ball flat out hooks on the end. It is very clean through the front part of the lane storing all of its energy for when it hits the friction and once it hits that dry, there is no stopping it. This is my go to ball for when the lanes start to break down, late in the day of tournaments and you can move left and start throwing it right. For me, pearl balls that are this strong on the end, I tend to have trouble getting the corner out due to the angle, but not with the Wolverine. If you are looking for a dry - medium oil ball, the Wolverine is it.

Drilling pattern: 75 x 5 1/4 x 45 Pin placement: Above and left of ring finger Looking to replace my old HB Extreme Pearl and finding the Wolverine as a pretty solid replacement. The cover is strong, but still gets through the fronts with relative ease (especially with a 5+ inch pin on it). I had some difficulty controlling the old White Hot Badger due to my early roll, but putting the long pin to PAP drilling has really opened up opportunities to use equipment I typically couldn't. This ball stores energy very well with strong backend motion. This will be a fantastic ball for late in blocks, or on THS with light oil. This ball will roll later than the Zen and should be a solid complement when the Zen gets a little lazy down lane. Brent Ritchie 900 Global/Storm/Roto Grip Staff Member

The Wolverine will excel in situations where you need to open your angles on most THS conditions. The Wolverine will provide a nice amount of length with good recovery downlane. If you are currently a fan of the previous 900 Badgers and Honey Badgers you already know what this one can do. If you have not been introduced to the Wolverine from 900 Global be sure to check this one out. For me, we decided to go with a standard benchmark 2LS layout. Before rolling this ball I was a bit concerned that the Wolverine would be a touch sideways for me. However, I was 100% surprised how smooth the Wolverine went through the front part of the lane and the room I had available off the spot to strike on a 43' THS. Previously, I have enjoyed balls like the Honey Badger Revival and the Honey Badger Extreme Pearl where I did a short pin to PAP layout. Although the above are Asymmetric I was pleasantly pleased with the forgiveness of the Wolverine which is a symetrical off spring to the above. From what I personally have witnessed so far and for the limited time I have had with this ball it appears to be a homerun for most league conditions. At this time, I have not changed the surface of the Wolverine. If you see over/under results the recommend has been to touch the surface with either a 3K or 4K pad and make decisions accordingly. I'm definitely excited for this ball from 900 Global! Michael Slatky 900 Global Staff Member York, PA

The Wolverine features the S70 pearl coverstock and Lacerate 2.0 core, which comes in at a 2.54 RG and a .053 differential in 15 pounds. The core is a combination of the top half of the Honey Badger core and the bottom half of the Badger core, and the S70 cover is very closely related to Storm’s R2S formula, so the easiest way to explain the Wolverine is that it’s a stronger Hyroad Pearl. The Wolverine has a very balanced reaction, it’s easy to get down the lane and punchy on the backend, but not excessively. The medium RG of the core keeps it from revving up too soon but the high differential gives it plenty of flare to keep it strong and consistent on the backend. The cover is medium strength so it’s going to be on play for a lot of people on a regular house shot, and those with higher speed might find it to be a good step down from what they start with when transition sets in. For my wife and I, the Wolverine fits as a ball down from something like the Zen, and a ball up from something like a Burner Solid or Pearl. Wolverine Review: https://youtu.be/7HUTKqgs-ok

United States

Layout 5 x 4 x 2.5 Style – stroker Ball Speed – 14mph Condition – house pattern on older HPL surface and newer Pro Lane Surface – box condition I was looking to add angular pearl in the medium/dry category and decided to drill up a Wolverine. My initial results have certainly not disappointed. The pearl cover with the higher differential allowed the ball to be super clean through the fronts and have no issue getting around the corner. As the bigger balls and stronger covers start to burn up, I’ll have no concerns about moving to the Wolverine as I continue to move left on the lane. The shape out of this ball reminds me of favorites from years past and the blue color should have tremendous shelf appeal. Sometimes the mid / entry level balls get overlooked compared to the biggest and new big thing. Please don’t hesitate to pick up a Wolverine if you looking to add a transition piece to your arsenal. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

United States

The Wolverine by 900 Global is an awesome bowling ball if you are looking for a bowling ball to be super clean and wildly aggressive on the backend. The shell is the S70 Pearl Reactive and the core is the Lacerate 2.0 Symmetric which puts the RG at 2.54 and the diff at .053 (15lbs). That just means distance with a lot of recovery! The Wolverine is Phenomenal when the fronts get blown up and you must move left and get it going to the right, there is no quit on the backend for this fella. The layout I chose for the Wolverine was 5 ½ X 5 X 2 1/2, The pin position will emphasis length (5 ½), the second number is not important it just gets the imaginary mass bias close to the thumb hole and the buffer is at 2 ½ in my experience for me that allows the bowling ball some time to transition. My coordinates are 300 rev rate, PAP 5 5/8 over and ¾ up and I like to play close to the friction. The Wolverine will push and recover with ease. What I found that by taking some of the shine off maybe with a 2000 or 3000 pad the squirt through the front is diminished but the backend is still ferocious. I always have issues with over under with pearlized bowling balls at the beginning of league or whatever. What I found with the Wolverine is it only lasts during practice or the first couple of shots, but you must be careful not to get it out too far or it will jump…. Later, in the session that jumpiness is a total blessing and will help you open the lane like a can opener. The combination of strength with aggression down lane makes this ball a must for bad backends, rotational challenged or just like to stand left and get it right. The Wolverine’s motion is very similar to Idol Pearl but just stronger overall. The Wolverine is a bowling ball that can be used under different conditions and different styles. This is one Pearl Bowling Ball that I would recommend especially if the center is a touch on the dry side or the backends are beat up! The Wolverine is another great bowling ball by 900 Global.

United States

Good Sym piece for Medium oil patterns. This piece has a little more length than the Idol Helios with continuous backend motion. Good to use at the start of a block to give you smooth reaction on the patterns.

United States

Layout: 40 x 4 5/8 x 40 The Wolverine has become the slightly smoother, slightly less aggressive companion to the Phaze 4 in my bag. Out of box, the Wolverine loves medium to medium-dry lane conditions. I have not messed with the cover much yet, but with this ball's inherent smooth roll, I predict that at a fresh 2000 cover it would be great for medium-heavy oil conditions. In comparison, I find the core in the Phaze 4 to lend itself to handling oil slightly better, but the reaction of the Wolverine is a touch more rounded. I can be more aggressive with my hand at the release point with the Wolverine and it won't over-react; however, I've found that if I do spin it a touch more than intended, the core won't make up for it as much as the Phaze 4 would.

United States

Core: Lacerate 2.0 Cover: S70 Pearl Finish: 1500 Polish RG: 2.54 Diff: 0.053 (15# ball) Right-Handed Tweener Speed: 12-13 mph Rev Rate: 315 PAP: 4 7/8 Right 3/8 Up Ball Layout: Pin over Ring 5 1/4 Pin to Pap 1” Pin Buffer The new 900 Global Wolverine is a scrapper for sure. The Strong Symmetric Lacerate core features a very high diff for the price point and the pearl version of the s70 cover definitely makes this ball long and strong. Compared to other balls at its price point I would say the Wolverine is as strong as it gets. Its not going to necessarily be snappy as the big core gives you some earlier motion but it is very continuous. Its particularly effective navigating transition on heavier volumes. Sometimes you can get trapped when your big solids push you left and want to slow down and it's 10 pin city. Since you're very often taking a big step down in over all hook to get into a quicker ball to create more angle you sometimes get pushed into the over-under where your quick ball can't be a little in and your big ball can't get a little right. This is the ideal environment for the wolverine. I would definitely recommend this ball for bowlers who struggle a bit more low ball speed. It makes a great option as a big ball for guys who have trouble getting the big solids down-lane.

United States

The Wolverine is one of my favourite SPI ball this year ! It is for me the perfect ball for the dry lanes conditions. The wolverine is for me, more rounded than other especialy on the middle part of the lane. She make just give the little hit that I need at the backend but not agressively. I can play straighter front of me but I'm prefered to cross a big part of the lane when it's more dry. Reeeeaaalllyyy predictible. I already won a tournament this year with ! You need one in your bag for sure !! Try it !!!

Out of the box, the combination of Lacerate 2.0 core and S70 Pearl coverstock produced some impressive results for a mid-priced ball. Let's take a closer look at those results on a THS. The Lacerate 2.0 core is a winning combination of the Honey Badger and Badger cores molded into a symmetric core with an added flip block. And that result is a THS bowler's dream! The Lacerate 2.0 rev's smooth with a more relaxed dynamic through the mid-lane so it can store its energy. Whether I played straight up the second arrow early on or moved into 15-18 later in the night, the Lacerate 2.0 exploded its power when the Wolverine came off the pattern. As a straighter and more down-and-in player, I like the comfort the Lacerate 2.0 core provides. It is predictable and smooth in its motion yet powerful when changing direction. I also love how it keeps rolling with authority to kick out that late ten pin even when I know I missed! The S70 Pearl coverstock is by far the right choice for the Wolverine! Being a pearl combined with the Lacerate 2.0 core makes the Wolverine a dangerous weapon! I liked how the S70 clears the heads easily but doesn't over-react in the mid-lane! Further, I liked that it doesn't hesitate off the pattern but instead makes a well-defined, crisp turn down lane that I could count on! Finally, as a straighter player, I liked how the S70 gave me the confidence to move in without worrying if my release was enough to make it to the pocket. The S70 pearl coverstock gets you down the lane - and even when you think you got it too far, take a deep breath because the Wolverine will make the turn! In conclusion, the Wolverine is an excellent new release by 900 Global. With the winning combination of the Lacerate 2.0 core and the S70 Pearl coverstock, the Wolverine is a superb choice for many styles of bowlers at a mid-level price! And if you are a straighter player like me, the Wolverine will be a ferocious weapon to add to your arsenal!

Layout: 75 x 3 3/8 x 30 PAP: 5.25 R 3/4 UP My first impression was WOW, a WhiteHot with more backend. More than enough power to cover the medium to light oil patterns I bowl on. Typical clean movement throughout the fronts and mids which allow me to read the breakpoint efficiently to maximize my carry percentage. In my league I am able to use the Wolverine after a little transition as my step down ball below my Zen and before the Burner or Afterburner. Great ball for the cranker and stroker that can play their comfort zone. I recommend the Wolverine when settling up your 900G arsenal

The Wolverine fits that to a T. A benchmark pearl. Aggressive pearl with a strong arc off the spot. Drilled this one 4 3/4 x 4 7/8 x 2.5 which is strong for me. Left OOB and it performs on a variety of conditions. This ball with its higher diff cover gets down the lane with ease. Its backend motion strong but also very readable. Wolverine has a good amount of forgiveness in it. A throwback motion that we do not see much anymore. As the bigger assym balls burn up the Wolverine shows no signs of quit. Its continuation is definitely its strong suit. A pearl you can keep chasing in with a still get it to corner enough to carry. The Wolverine fits nicely between the Zen and the Burner Pearl. If you are looking for a strong pearl the Wolverine is a must have. #GoGlobal #stormnation Joe Arvai 900 Global Staff Member

The new 900 Global ball is the Wolverine which features the Lacerate 2.0 core with S70 Pearl Reactive coverstock. I drilled mine with a 5 inch pin down under my middle finger. My first impressions were wow that's a lot of backend motion! With the fresh cover I had to cut it with 3000 pad to help slow it down. I compared the Wolverine to the Storm Hyroad Pearl with just a little more midlane motion. 900 Global is making some really good bowling balls these days and the Wolverine is definitely one of them. I have drilled a handful of them at my shop. From Low rev to high rev players. Both have had great success with the Wolverine, mainly in the 2nd, 3rd game and in later blocks of tournaments when they need to get left. Great ball for 900 Global.

The Wolverine by 900 Global is the newest addition to the 700 Series. The engine under the hood is the Lacerate 2.0 which is a combination the Honey Badger and Badger core which has been extremely successful in previous 900 Global lines. On the outside is the S70 Pearl Coverstock and with this core/coverstock combination, the Wolverine is designed to be the highest response time ball in the line. I’ve drilled one so far and think it rolls great. I drilled it with the following layout: 5 x 4. This puts the pin directly above my bridge and I also scratched the surface with 3000 to smooth the response time down just a pinch. I’ve had the most success with the Wolverine once I need to move left, open my angles, and need a ball to store energy down lane. After my Reality, Proton Physix, and Phaze II start to get lazy, the Wolverine has been a perfect ball to go to. If you feel like you’re missing a high-responsive ball that will change direction extremely hard and compliments the asymmetrical balls really well, the Wolverine should be the next ball you drill.

United States

This may be the most beautiful ball on the market. I didn’t plan to drill it originally because I thought I had stuff in the arsenal that was too similar, I was wrong. There was WAY more backend motion than I had expected, it allowed me to move inside late in the blocks get it down there and make the corner. Partnered with my Altered Reality it was literally perfect.. A little sharper than the Altered so when the lanes started getting torched I moved from that to the Wolverine. The Wolverine is the perfect combination of looks and performance! With as well as it is performing on sport shots I believe the Wolverine will be in the bag for a long time.

900 Global Wolverine Ball Review Hey everyone, I’m back with another ball review, and this time it’s for the Wolverine and in 15 pounds this ball is wrapped in the S70 Pearl Coverstock and comes 1500-grit polish with an RG of 2.540 and a Diff of 0.051. Layout for this ball is 5.5 X 4.5 X 1 I have enjoyed when I am able to get this ball into my hands, but with the bigger balls in front of this ball and the lack of super dry I have at home I don’t get to throw this ball as much as I would like too. I keep this ball in my tournament bag and its really good when the lanes start to get burned up. I can see this ball being thrown on a fresher condition with players with more hand. I am on the lower rev rate side and need the stronger balls to see the friction so again this one doesn’t get into my hand a lot.

I drilled my 900 Global WOLVERINE up 60 x 4.5 x 30. I have hit it with a 2000 abralon pad. Out of box, this got a good ways down the lane before it broke for home. Classic skid/flip reaction. I took my pad to it to smooth it out some and it slowed down the large flip reaction and made it more controllable. I have throw it side by side with my BURNER SOLID, RST-X2, and SPECTRE. Compare to the SPECTRE, the WOLVERINE was more motion in the back end. These two really complimented each other well. BURNER SOLID was early and slower than the WOLVERINE. RST-X2 was also earlier but close to the same strong back end motion of the WOLVERINE. If you are looking for something to get down the lane and really finish on the back, then the WOLVERINE is your ball.

United States

If you've been around long enough to remember the original resin balls this ball will bring back some memories. It is just fun to throw!!!! If you bowl in a center with some friction just send it and watch the pins fly. For tougher patterns and tournaments this ball will be a burn killer especially for anyone who needs help getting the ball to continue the farther in they go. A light scuff this ball evens out and becomes much more controllable while maintaining its backend. Why ruin the fun? We have that with others if it's what we're looking for. Seniors or anyone really who struggles with ball speed this ball will be an all time favorite and become their absolute go to ball.

Wolverine: Cover S70 Pearl 1500 polished Core: Lacerate 2.0 RG: 2.54 Dif: 0.53 Layout: 45x 4 x 30, Speed Dominant, Rev Rate 275-325 PAP: 5 ¾ over 1” up. The Wolverine is the newest addition to the 900 Global lines. The Wolverine is the newest pearl with a strong backend motion. It has a smooth motion a cleaner through the fronts with a strong motion on the backend. The wolverine is a bit more angular than the Zen what is currently my favorite ball in my bag. I through this with the out of box finish and found for me that it would sometimes overreact on the dry and labor when I got it in some oil. I did not use any sure and now discovered the wolverine seems to blend better with some surface. The wolverine will be a nice addition to any arsenal and can be used with various styles of play.

United States

The 900 Global Wolverine features the S70 Pearl Reactive coverstock wrapped around the Lacerate 2.0 Symmetric core. The RG at 15lbs is 2.54 and the differential is .053. This ball could be the sleeper ball of the year. This ball fills a gap that I have been looking to fill for quite some time. The Wolverine is great for broken down patterns and later in tournament blocks. The ball is super clean and I would categorize the response time as medium…not too quick and not too slow. A lot of people say this ball reminds them of an original HyRoad, but for me the Wolverine is much more controllable and predictable. Where the HyRoad for me had a tendency to miss the spot, the Wolverine starts up a little sooner than the HyRoad and doesn’t really get the chance to hydroplane past the breakpoint. If the lane has a friction spot to throw to, this ball will be in its glory.

United States

900 Global Wolverine S70 pearl coverstock Lacerate 2.0 core The core is looks to be a mix/match/new tweak to the cores used in the badger lines. The final shape mixed with this cover combines to make one of the more skid/flip balls I have seen out of 900G. Some have been seeing a smoother reaction, but not me...lots of angle here. I think it is a speed/revs combo for myself. I am more rev dominant and that makes some of my similar mid level pearls do similar things. Step up from my Hyped Pearl, step down from my Phaze 3

Only bowled one series with it. Love the way it rolls and never quits turning. Much more aggressive than anticipated which took a minute to get used to.
