The 900 Global Zen U is a small step up from the UC3 in the sense that it reads a little earlier and is a little smoother. There have been a handful of urethane balls like the Roto Grip UC3 and Motiv Blue Tank that fit in there. The thing we haven’t discussed yet is fit in the arsenal and here’s where I’d probably still go specialty but it could potentially be in the mid control part of the bag. Although what balls are traditional urethane anymore… Anyway, he only needed to watch out for the pitch out to the right as it did over hook, which again gets its characteristic from the “plus” side of chemistry.īy now, we can’t be surprised by another urethane ball coming out. Yes it was early but it wasn’t that dead reaction he would get from traditional urethane. Really all he needed to do was just get a touch left of the dry and he had some nice room. So you know how 900 Global said this could work on cliffed house conditions? Will in Bryan’s case, that is true. Then Bryan finds a sweet spot near the second arrow where he basically strikes all day. Miss in and leave a flat corner, no surprise there. Once he starts moving left, say from 12 with belly, hey surprise, that wasn’t too bad. The initial look is pretty obvious urethane reaction in the sense of how it early it starts up. It just came down to the ball being more effective with a bit more axis rotation. ![]() A bit of a surprise seeing the difference between Sean and Tyler isn’t that significant to see such a difference in ball motion. There are some nice shots in there but there is maybe a bit too much precision needed in terms of where you come out of the pattern to be usable on this particular condition. It’s too strong to start up in the outside oil but with a little room, it was touch and go. The Zen U looked much more “urethane” than “plus”. His roll is a touch more forward than Tyler and you can kind of see the difference it makes. I mean yes you can see it has the clear urethane characteristics but at the same time the speed of responsiveness let’s you know it’s amped up a bit. But giving it too much room and it won’t work. Honestly it reminded me a bit of some of those huge reactive balls that dig and sometimes the pattern is too light. If he missed out, the ball actually overreacted. He could miss in but tended to get a bit of a flat hit. He is able to get into the 3rd arrow and beyond out to 7 or 8 and wham. ![]() Tyler’s test here probably demonstrates all the best characteristics of the Zen U. To be fair I enjoyed the Hot Cell but I digress. Sometimes too much of a good thing is simply too much, ala Hot Cell. The standard Zen core would create a ton of flare which would definitely give you a different ball. The idea is to give you a urethane ball that has the control of urethane but a bit more responsiveness while putting in a control shape core. In this iteration, 900 Global goes with a pretty strong cover with the same shape Zen core but with a much lower differential. So manufacturers will continue tweaking urethane to give us varied reactions. I don’t have to tell you my feeling on urethane but as we all know it’s here to stay. The 900 Global Zen U uses the Meditate LD symmetric core inside the s35 Urethane+ coverstock. Your driller will alter the shape to suit your game.” “Keep in mind that coverstock accounts for 70% of ball reaction, but the core creates the dynamic shape of the reaction. Although the Zen U harkens back to the nostalgic days when urethane was simple Black color and yellow script, it’s shape is more than that.Ĭheck out our friends Jeff Miller and Ron Hoppe at Haley’s Pro Shop for world class drilling and coaching!
