![]() My final thoughts are I don’t think a person needs both the Zen Soul and Zen Master. The Zen Soul has the Daredevil Trick color vibe going for it, which I like. I am interested in seeing what the Zen Soul will do on a little more oil and my normal release. I moved 2 and 1 right with the Zen from the Zen Soul and was lined up immediately. The Zen Soul as a little rounder/longer hook spot than the Zen but still continuous. It is definitely a little stronger and earlier than the original Zen. The Zen Soul looked really good playing straight, just inside the oil line at both tournaments. I have thrown the Zen Soul in a couple tournaments. I must say though that I am going to drill another Zen Master with my favorite drill so it may become a favorite as well. The Zen ball “good” and the Zen Master not as good for me but does have some good characteristics. It makes sense to combine the best characteristics from the Zen and Zen Master. The 900 Global Zen Soul utilizes the S77 hybrid coverstock with the Mediate core. Testing information: 41 foot - 24.2 ml and 5.66:1 ratio Rev Rate: 325 rpm, 7 degree of axis tilt, 40 degree of axis rotation The Zen Soul is forgiving and hits like a truck! The Ball reads the mid lane well and makes a strong back end move. The Zen Soul is another very good and strong ball by Global. I feel this is another excellent entry into the strong ball category. Just make small adjustments and let it do its thing. The Soul is also a ball you can stay with for a while before it goes back in the bag. I see this ball being almost a must have for folks who love the original Zen. The Response to this ball has been good and demand has been very high. The Zen Soul would fit between the Gem and the Phase 2 in my bag. This ball strikes a lot and has a forgiveness factor for poor shots that I see in a lot of bigger core symmetric balls. The Zen Soul, for me, hooks more than the Zen Master but I think it is because of the way it responds to dry boards. ![]() For me, the Zen Soul hooks almost as much as the Gem but responds stronger to friction. This is a ball you can trust to just roll good and hit. The Soul reads the mid lane very well and then seems to pick up revs and drive as it makes the turn. The Zen Soul has quickly become one of my favorite balls to roll right now. The Zen U gave him much more hold around the pocket and he didn’t need to throw it at the gutter from the start.The new Global Zen Soul is a big hooking Hybrid version of the Original Zen. ![]() The added length over traditional urethane shells allowed him to start closer to the middle of the lane and play to his strengths with open launch angles. He absolutely loved the motion he had from the Zen U on the dry pattern. The Zen U’s motion was a bit more versatile than traditional urethane for our testers, offering improved length and better downlane continuation.Ĭranker had the best overall motion from the Zen U across the test patterns, finding success on the medium, dry, and sport patterns. The new S35 Urethane+ Solid coverstock is also new to the 900 Global line, giving the Zen U a different motion compared to the more traditional urethane shape found in balls like the Boo-Yah and Honey Badger Urethane. It uses the new Meditate LD Symmetric core, which has the same core geometry from previous Zen bowling balls, but with a lower density to raise the RG to 2.56″ and reduce the differential to 0.027″. The Zen U provides some familiar imagery for 900 Global fans while also introducing some brand-new elements to their product line.
