900 Global Zen vs Roto Grip Idol Cosmos vs Zen Soul – Complements or Competition?

This is a comparison of the 900 Global Zen to the Zen Soul to the Roto Grip Idol Cosmos bowling ball!

Roto Grip Idol Cosmos Bowling Ball

Originally introduced in the IDOL™ back in March of 2018, the Ikon Core has become a fan favorite and staple in the arsenals of all the top professionals around the globe. This low RG, high differential symmetrical core revs up in the midlane while providing outstanding continuation down lane which allows it to be used by all styles of players from any angle on the lane.

Due to the overwhelming success and popularity of the IDOL™ Helios, we felt that creating a pearlized version using the same coverstock chemistry was an absolute must that bowlers around the globe needed. So, the Research & Development Team went to work adjusting formulas and testing the different variations of the XtremeTrax™ coverstock material in a pearlized form. All we can say is WOW, we impressed ourselves which means you will be impressed as well. Our sole focus was to create an option that compliments the IDOL Helios, meaning just a bit cleaner through the front of the lane while providing more motion and reaction down lane. Needless to say, we not only hit this one out of the park, but we also hit it into another galaxy!

Derived from countless hours of mixing, formulating, and testing, the Xtreme Traction (XtremeTrax™) material pushes us into boundaries of scientific chemistry. We started with the base materials of our MicroTrax™ coverstock and went down a new path in terms of chemistry by adding different chemicals which in turn created “chemical charges” to the nano-particles, thus making a material that not only digs in on heavy oil, but also provides more responsiveness and reaction down lane than traditional nano materials.

Engineered for Medium/Heavy to Heavy Oil Conditions

Bottom line, in the HP3 line we have been looking for the next generation of Haywire. Needless to say, the new IDOL is that and then some.

900 Global Zen Bowling Ball

The S77 Response™ Pearl Coverstock was the obvious choice to follow up on the success of the S77 Response™ Solid coverstock. The Pearl version of this cover will provide the most skid/flip reaction we have ever put in the 800 Series. The Zen™ will be a great ball to open up your angles with on medium-heavy patterns.

The Meditate™ Core is the biggest core we have ever put into a bowling ball!! A bigger core means more hitting power combined with a more consistent reaction. Throughout testing the Meditate™ Core provided that wide “footprint on the lane that all bowlers love to see. The Zen™ pushes the limits of core dynamics.

900 Global Zen Soul Bowling Ball

For the first time ever, the revolutionary S77 Response™ Cover is offered in a hybrid form!! The blend of solid and pearl elements will give you the reliability of a solid combined with the aggressiveness of a pearl. Paired with the massive and dynamic Meditate™ symmetric core, the Zen Soul™ will expand upon the one of a kind shape that people have come to expect from the Zen line.Zen Soul…the best of both worlds.

The Meditate Symmetric Core is one of the largest cores that 900 Global manufactures. A larger core means more hitting power combined with a more consistent reaction!! The Meditate Core is the largest core, volumetrically speaking, that we have ever put into a bowling ball. A bigger core means more hitting power combined with a more consistent reaction. Throughout testing the Meditate Core provided that wide “footprint” on the lane that all bowlers love to see.
