The Vengeance Returns is the much-anticipated follow-up to the Vengeance for 900 Global. In addition to a strong social media campaign, the Vengeance offered a very good ball motion on oily lane conditions. This release uses the same symmetrical Blast AI core shape, with the differences coming in the coverstock material and box finish. The Vengeance Returns uses RB 91 Hybrid, whereas the original used RB 91 Solid. The box finish changes from a sanded 2000 Abralon finish on the original to a Power Edge polish finish on the Vengeance Returns. These changes give the Vengeance Returns more length and more downlane shape compared to the original. We had this ball start up earlier and create more total hook than the other shiny ball in the current 900 Global line, the Viking. The Vengeance Returns was very good for all three of our bowlers on the medium oil pattern, and it also offered good reactions on some of our other test patterns.

It provided more traction and total hook, but he saw a similar ball path. The ball cleared the front of the lane easily, picked up very well in the midlane, and was very strong off the end of the pattern. The ball got through the heads very easily, allowing it to make such a strong move downlane. He was also impressed with the amount of traction the ball was able to create in the midlane. The
