Ball NPS Score: 100.0	- Color: Green/Black/Yellow All colors do vary somewhat from the picture shown. - Core: Modified Legion - Veneer: MP GEN 4 Reactive Pearl With Performance Additive - Core Type: Asymmetrical - Surface: 800, 1000, 2000 Polished - A few tiny pit holes in the cover stock of the ball are normal - RG: 2.52 - Diff: .049 - Recommended Lane Condition: Medium to Medium-Light Oil - Description: Track’s intent with the all new 508A is to bring you a new and improved version of the original 505A. What makes the 508A an improved version of the 505A? First we started with the ever popular Legion Core that we used in the best-selling Track ball in recent years, the 607A. Next we worked on creating a cover that would be just as angular as the cover used on the 505A. After testing several different covers, we said to ourselves, “if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.” By combining the MP GEN 4 Reactive Pearl veneer and the Legion Core, we have provided Track fans with a ball motion that is stronger than the 505A while maintaining the same overall look on the lanes. The 508A, with the help of the MP GEN 4 Reactive Pearl veneer, is designed to be stronger off the spot that its predecessor. The 508A also brings a different surface than the 505A as now we use three different grits of Abralon pads, 800, 1000, and 2000, followed by Powerhouse Factory Finish Polish. Both the intermediate and overall differential are higher in the new 508A which provide more flare potential and a stronger overall core than the 505A. The combination of the MP GEN 4 Reactive Pearl veneer and the modified Legion Core, should provide you with a quicker responsive and overall more aggressive product than the previous 500 series balls.

	Trackboy2009 (MD) Ball Rating: Good	Posted on 1/12/2012 at 9:29 AM LANE CONDITION Length:36 Volume:light to medium Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc):THS (Fresh and broken down) COMMENTS Likes:The 508A prevides good length and recovery on both fresh and carrydown. The layout in my 508A is 45 X 5 1/2 X 75, or pin under the fingers with mass bias kicked out with a hole at 45 degrees at 7 inches. The 508A is very responsive at the break point and is stronger than the 505A. I used the 508A first on a lane that was not conditioned for a couple of days with some open play on it. The 508A still pushed and gave a strong move on the backend. To my surprise very readable and strong even on that condition. When I threw the 508A on the fresh house pattern it was a beast. I had the best of both worlds push and recovery! The colors are eye catching on the shelf and going down the lane. Dislikes: Sometimes a little jumpy on the dry and wants to squirt on the wet. That is a charteristic of any pearl piece. PICTURES AND/OR VIDEOS Dan Schaden Jr Track Pro Shop Staff Member Vise Staff Member

	rrbowler (WI) Ball Rating: Good	Posted on 1/23/2012 at 11:00 AM LANE CONDITION Length:41ft, brunswick synthetic, 43ft wood lanes Volume: Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): COMMENTS Likes:If you liked the 505a this ball you will love, it has similar length but a little bit more of a turn and kick at the pins then the 505a had. I drilled my 508a with a 5 X 5 drilling it has great length and a hard but predictable turn into the pocket.I would definitely recommend this ball, Dislikes: PICTURES AND/OR VIDEOS Rich Mueller Track Regional Staff

	Percision Shot Making (MD) Ball Rating: Good	Posted on 2/1/2012 at 2:32 PM Hello once again Track fans I'm here to talk about another great piece. The Track 508A this ball has great characteristics it's clean through the fronts and pretty strong down lane. I drilled mines 55x5x45 pin is over my bridge. I love it when the lanes start to break down, because it glides through the fronts and allows me to open the pair up. It's a great medium ball out of box it's not an oil piece so you may not like want to use it on that. If you like the 505a and the 607ase you will love this ball the world wide release date is 2/2/12 so got get yours. Howard Ball Jr. Track amateur staff Vise amateur staff

	bowler3008605 (KS) Ball Rating: Good	Posted on 2/6/2012 at 8:42 AM Drilled mine with the pin over bridge and cg under ring finger mass bias 1" from thumb and man does this ball work AMAZINGLY. I used this ball friday night for three games on a heavier oil house shot and me being a tweener was able to start out around 12-13 and break at 5 then as the night went along and the third game transition happened i moved to 18-7 and this ball never lost one ounce of hitting power or traction. Haven't had a track ball in 10 years and now i'll never not have one thanks to this ball. EVERYONE should have this ball.
