900 Global Viking Bowling Ball

A Small-Batch Asymmetric Weapon for Medium-Heavy Oil

About the Viking

The 900 Global Viking is built for battle. Created in small batches with precision and pride, it is the clean and reliable choice for tackling challenging lanes. The Viking pairs the asymmetric Strobe A.I. Core with a responsive hybrid shell to deliver the kind of strong, defined motion you can trust to show up every time.

The Viking wraps that asymmetric Strobe core in the RB 90 Hybrid Reactive coverstock at a Power Edge polish, in a striking Copper, Red, and Silver cosmetic. A 900 Series piece, it reads the mid-lane and then makes a very strong backend move, clean enough to get down medium-heavy lanes and powerful enough to finish with authority.

Understanding the 900 Global Strobe A.I. Core and 900 Global RB 90 Hybrid Reactive

900 Global built the Viking for a strong, clean asymmetric reaction. Specifically, the asymmetric Strobe A.I. Core uses a raised RG and a single-density weight block to read the mid-lane uniquely while still providing a very strong backend shape, while the RB 90 Hybrid cover at a Power Edge polish clears the front of the lane and stores energy for a powerful, defined move. As a result, it gets down medium-heavy lanes cleanly and finishes with authority. The full per-weight specifications are listed below.

A Raised-RG Asymmetric Core That Reads the Mid-Lane and Drives Hard

At the heart of the Viking is the asymmetric Strobe A.I. Core. At 15 lb it measures RG 2.51, a strong .052 differential, and a .016 intermediate differential (mass bias), numbers that produce heavy flare and a powerful, defined asymmetric motion. The raised RG and single-density weight block let the core read the mid-lane uniquely while still providing a very strong backend shape.

That combination of a clean read and a strong finish is what makes the Viking so effective. The higher RG helps the ball get through the front of the lane, while the strong differential and asymmetric shape supply the flare and the hard-driving backend. Because it is asymmetric, layout has a strong influence on the reaction, so your pro shop can position the pin and mass bias to lean the motion earlier or more angular to match your game.

A Polished Hybrid for Clean Length and a Strong Backend

The Viking wraps that core in the RB 90 Hybrid Reactive coverstock, finished at Power Edge polish. A hybrid cover blends the traction of a solid with the cleaner length of a pearl, and the polished surface adds length on top of that, so the Viking clears the front of the lane on medium-heavy oil and stores its energy for the back.

When the Viking reaches the friction, the strong asymmetric Strobe core turns that stored energy into a powerful, defined backend. It is the clean-but-strong combination that makes the Viking a reliable choice on challenging patterns. Leave it polished for the most length and the sharpest move, or take the surface down at your pro shop for an earlier, stronger read when the oil increases.
