- Continuum 

First Impressions
Released in July 2018, the 900Global Continuum brings an interesting technical concept to the market, one that's already spelled out in the name: maximum continuity in the ball motion. At the center works the specially developed Ellipticon core. This symmetrical core carries a medium-high 2.52 RG and a very high 0.054 differential (at 15 lbs). That combination is rather unusual for a solid ball, since the higher RG helps the ball conserve energy through the heads while the high differential produces massive flare. This engine is wrapped in the S71 Remix Solid coverstock in a plain black/teal/gray. The factory finish of 4000 grit (Neat "T" Pad) underlines the intended purpose: this isn't a ball for extreme skid/flip, but for an even, uninterrupted curve from the breakpoint into the pins.
Comparison
Compared directly to 900Global's "heavy oil" balls of that era, such as the Inception series, the Continuum offers noticeably more length. It doesn't dig in right at your feet, but glides more cleanly through the front part of the lane thanks to the higher RG. Bringing in an outside competitor like the Storm Phaze II, the balls differ in the shape of the curve: the Phaze II (low RG) reads the lane earlier and rolls up rounder, while the Continuum skids a bit longer but shows an even more consistent motion on the backend, one that's less prone to "jumping." Technically it behaves almost like a solid version of a Storm Hy-Road: plenty of length from the core, but traction from the cover.
On the Lanes
The 900Global Continuum is a fantastic "benchmark ball" for medium to heavier oil patterns. Its greatest strength is predictability. It's the perfect choice when the lane gets touchy (over/under) and you want to take the sharp corners out of the ball reaction in order to control the pocket. The higher RG also lets it handle drier heads well without immediately burning up energy, while the solid surface makes sure it doesn't slide out in the oil film of the midlane. It's ideal for tournament bowlers looking for a "control ball" that doesn't hook too early but still generates enough overall motion to mix the pins hard.
