About the Viking Conquest
The 900 Global Viking Conquest is the solid that takes the Viking into the heaviest oil. It keeps the strong asymmetric Strobe A.I. Core but pairs it with the RB 94 Solid Reactive coverstock at a sanded finish, so it reads earlier and grabs more oil than the polished, hybrid Viking.
Where the Viking clears the fronts and saves its energy for the back, the Viking Conquest attacks the mid-lane sooner with a strong, controlled read, in a sharp Purple, White, and Gray cosmetic. A 900 Series piece built for medium-heavy to heavy volume, it is the early-reading, traction-first complement to the Viking, the ball you start with when the lanes are fresh and oily.
Understanding the 900 Global Strobe A.I. Core and 900 Global RB 94 Solid Reactive
900 Global built the Viking Conquest for traction on the heaviest oil. Specifically, the asymmetric Strobe A.I. Core uses a raised RG and single-density block to read the mid-lane strongly while still providing a powerful backend, while the RB 94 Solid cover at a 2000-grit Abralon finish grabs the front and mid-lane earlier than the polished Viking. As a result, it provides a strong, early read with asymmetric continuation, exactly what heavier, fresher patterns demand. The full per-weight specifications are listed below.
A Raised-RG Asymmetric Core for a Strong Read and Powerful Backend
At the heart of the Viking Conquest is the asymmetric Strobe A.I. Core, the same engine as the Viking. 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 read the mid-lane uniquely while still driving hard through the back.
On the Conquest, that strong core is paired with a sanded solid cover, so the asymmetric power comes with an earlier, stronger read. 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 and the pattern in front of you.
A Sanded Solid for Early Traction on Heavy Oil
The Viking Conquest wraps that core in the RB 94 Solid Reactive coverstock, finished at 2000-grit Abralon. The solid cover at a sanded surface grabs the front and mid-lane earlier and harder than the polished, hybrid Viking, delivering the traction needed to handle medium-heavy to heavy volume, then driving continuously through the pins.
That early, strong read is what makes the Conquest the heavy-oil piece of the Viking pair. The sanded solid digs through oil that would push a cleaner cover down the lane, while the strong Strobe core supplies the flare and the powerful backend. Leave it at the 2000-grit box surface for the strongest read, or polish it up at your pro shop for more length when the volume drops.

Who This Ball Is Right For
Good to Know Before You Buy
Where It Fits in Your Arsenal
In the 900 Global lineup, the Viking Conquest is the early-reading, traction-first asymmetric solid. Where the polished, hybrid Viking clears the fronts and finishes clean, the sanded Conquest reads sooner and grabs more oil, so it leads on fresh, heavy patterns. It sits at the strong end of the bag, the ball you start with and step down from to the Viking as the lanes transition.
Surface Adjustments
The 2000-grit Abralon finish gives the Viking Conquest its strongest, earliest read. Take it even lower for more bite on heavy oil, or polish it up for more length as the volume drops. Have surface changes done at your pro shop for an even, consistent finish.
Coverstock Care
Wipe the RB 94 Solid cover with an approved reactive ball cleaner after every session, and deep clean it periodically. A sanded solid absorbs oil quickly, so keeping it clean preserves the early traction that defines the Viking Conquest.
