The Origin is a new nameplate with new technology inside and out for 900 Global. The colors on this ball really pop, and the Reserve Blend Batch logo that has been used on recent releases has been replaced by a cleaner 900 Global logo. These aesthetic changes are featured on a brand-new coverstock called RB 93 Hybrid, which is finished with Power Edge polish. This shell surrounds the new Ellipse Asymmetric AI core. This is a low RG (2.48″), high differential (0.050″), and high intermediate differential (0.020″) design that gets the ball revving up quickly off the hand.

The Origin didn’t go as long as his Harsh Reality Pearl, and it made a much stronger change of direction than the solid Harsh Reality.

As the lanes broke down, Stroker started seeing the ball pick up a few feet earlier, which got it through the pin deck even stronger. With such a good look, he had
