Post by TonyPR »

Hello, would appreciate your help. What Brunswick umbrella (any of the B brands) ball would be the most similar to the OG 900 Global Reality?

Hi Tony
The OG 900 Global Reality, Is this the ball?

https://www.stormbowling.com/reality-bbmgte12

There are several balls under the Brunswick Umbrella with similar core numbers.
But with the unique shape of the Reality core and not having a first hand experience with the coverstock, I can only guess.

What kind of reaction are you looking for?
Do you already have a layout in mind?
What weight?
Is this for you?
Thumb or no thumb?
Release specs?
Is color important?

Hello Eric, it’s for a youth bowler who is probably going to be playing next year in a college in which the team is sponsored by Brunswick. The Reality (the one you posted) is the ball most used by this speed dominant player. It’s a very versatile cover that takes surface adjustments really well. Motion is early and smooth and it allows this player to scuff it and throw it fast on short and medium or to take it to 1000 and slow roll it on long. Blends flat patterns really well. Excellent ball for fresh.

14 lbs
Thumb in one handed
18 OTH, 280 rpms, 10* tilt
Current layout 55 x 4.75 x 35
Color is only important on plastic or urethane (purple is the best color for urethane)

Check out the Brunswick Evo Hybrid
Ive had good luck with the Evo Solid and Pearl with surface changes, i assuming the Hybrid will be equally as adjustable.
