He currently still uses the Motiv Forge for that slot. The question is would it be Bryan’s strong control. It’s really right in the Strong control category. The cover is very strong which makes this ball arc for days. First impression for him was all about control and even ball reaction. It’s Bryan’s turn to test the 900 Global Zen Master. That’s the same deal with the Phaze II and Zen Master. Still cover the same conditions but just a little bit different look. The Proton has a sharper transition while the Reality is a bit rounder. Just like we compared the Reality and Proton Physix. What I can tell you is it’s basically a slightly earlier, slightly smoother Phaze II. It is possible it turns itself into the must for an arsenal but earl days to sell it that hard. The Zen Master fits in the same Strong Control category. For others, it’s a benchmark in the sense that it is a must in the arsenal. For some, that slot is the benchmark ball. I put the Phaze II in the Strong Control category. Benchmark can be taken in several contexts. If you’re checking this out, you already know the Phaze II is one of the best and most longstanding benchmark balls. They are about the same strengths with a slight variation in shape. Ultimately, you can see that the Phaze II and Zen Master are in the same worlds. I was able to do a direct comparison with a relatively new Phaze II with a matching surface finish. For a Rev dominant game, you will need a lot more oil than what is served up on our house shot. I tried to test this 2-handed but basically it’s not worth sharing here as it simply requires a different condition. It’s definitely has that control shape like the Phaze II. In terms of arsenal fit, this is pure Strong Control. I tried to throw it harder from direct and it can be done but more suited if your game is already a direct speed dominant or very forward rolling style. I felt like this thing will get to the pocket under any circumstance that I want some shape on the lane. The Zen Master shapes even from very deep angles for me. I’ll bring this back in the comparison but basically like the relative smoothness of the Reality is to the sharper Proton Physix, so is the Zen Master to the Phaze II. It’s got what I now call the hallmark 900 Global ball reaction. It just chugs itself and transitions predictably but in between smooth and responsive. I don’t want to call it lumbering but it almost feels like that. The cover is strong enough while the core is a nice big heavy rolling core. Now get into somewhere between 3rd and 4th arrow and we are in sweet spot territory. Near the 3rd arrow left the potential for flat 7s. However, this is when things begin and they get better from there.

No chance to find the pocket until about 14 to 5. I worked around the 2nd arrow and kept moving. Lining up for a potential comparison… Anyway, it simply read too soon and I couldn’t keep it left of the headpin. Honestly, it reminded me of what we saw with the huge Motiv Forge Flare. I’ll begin by saying there was no chance to play the Zen Master direct for me. The 900 Global Zen Master uses the Meditate™ Symmetric core inside the S77 Response Solid coverstock. Your driller will alter the shape to suit your game.” “Keep in mind that coverstock accounts for 70% of ball reaction, but the core creates the dynamic shape of the reaction.

It has the potential to be in the realm of worldbeaters like the Phaze II. A bigger core means more hitting power combined with a more consistent reaction.The Zen Master is strong and versatile. Meditate™ Core - The Meditate Core is the largest core, volumetrically speaking, that we have ever put into a bowling ball. The Zen will be a great ball to open your angles with on medium-heavy patterns. The pearl version of this cover will provide the most skid/flip reaction we have ever put in the 800 Series. S77 Response™ Pearl - The obvious choice to follow up on the success of the S77 Response Solid Cover. The Zen pushes the limits of core dynamics. A bigger core means more hitting power combined with a more consistent shape on the lanes. The Meditate Core is the biggest core we ever put into a bowling ball. The Zen will be a great ball to open your angles up with on medium to heavy patterns.

The S77 Response Pearl Cover provides the strongest reaction we have ever put in an 800 Series ball. The 900 Global Zen utilizes a pearl version of the S77 Response cover combined with a gigantic symmetric core.
