First Impressions
The 900 Global Honey Badger Yellow Poly comes in a brilliant yellow that catches the eye immediately and draws attention on the lane. This ball features a polyester coverstock with a 3500-grit polished factory surface and uses a classic pancake core. With a 2.68 RG and a 0.006 differential (at 15 pounds), it shows the typical characteristics of a pure spare ball. As the second ball from 900 Global with a traditional two-piece design, it embodies the classic philosophy of polyester technology. The high-gloss polished surface not only gives the ball an appealing look, but also supports its straight ball motion.
Comparison
Compared to other popular polyester balls such as the Columbia 300 White Dot or the Brunswick TZone, the Honey Badger Yellow Poly falls into the classic spare ball category. Polyester balls are among the least aggressive coverstocks on the market and respond the least to oil in every section of the lane. While some manufacturers use performance cores in their polyester balls, 900 Global sticks with the traditional approach and the pancake core. Most spare balls have a polyester coverstock, a pancake core and show no hook, which is true of the Honey Badger Yellow Poly as well.
On the Lanes
The ball is ideal when a straight path is needed, especially for spare shooting, since hook can be challenging enough on demanding oil patterns. A great choice for straight shots, it is perfect for spare situations or on dry lane conditions. This polyester ball is not only suited to spare shooting, but also to beginners who want to show off their favorite brand. New bowlers and kids choose polyester balls for their easier control and forgiveness while learning the game, while experienced bowlers use them for spare shots. The polyester ball is an unsung hero that eliminates the influence of oil patterns when precision is critical. The aggressive yellow color scheme makes the ball especially popular with recreational bowlers who value looks as well as function.
