- Finish: 500, 1000, 2000, 2000 Abralon Sanded, Polished with Powerhouse Factory Finish
- Core: Modified Legion
- RG: #16/2.46 #15/2.46 #14/2.51
- Differential: #16/0.039 #15/0.041 #14/0.037
- Reaction: Angular
- Recommended Lane Condition: Typical House Shot/Medium to Medium Heavy Oil
- Ball comes with a microfiber cleaning sack with instructions on its use.
- Description: Why a 6 series ball? Track’s R&D Department developed the 607ASE specifically positioned between the 505A and 715A, presenting a level of performance that bowlers are looking for, right between the two. The core is a modified version of the Legion core used in the Track Temper. Extreme Angularity is the strength of the “SE6†GEN1 coverstock, making this ball a dynamic choice for the oil patterns in typical house shots most competitive league bowlers face. Get it now, because there won’t be another 6 for some time.

Bowled with this one again and the middle of the lane was toasty on the right lane. So i ended up inside standing on 30 on the left lane hooking the lane and 20 on the right lane playing a tighter swing shot. Just a demonstration of how this ball can work deep inside angles or straighter and smoother. Obviously depending on your game, lane conditions, surface, etc.

This ball though is not intended for oil and alot of people dont take that into consideration. This thing hates oil and I really mean that. I think even with the stronger layouts that this thing will still be to hard off the spot. When the conditions is right, you wont match up any better than with this ball. Also has some great arse COLORS... Bottom line? GREAT BALL!!!!!!!! John

I got the 607A SE from watching about 10 different people throw the ball over about a months time. And finally decided to get one myself. I was impressed on how the ball rolled through the heads, how easy it rev'd up, how the ball finished, and the strong carry i was seeing.
Drilled the ball to be smooth for me. And was very impressed on how it did on the lane. Rolled down the lane nice, and had a great finish into the pocket and has some amazing carry.
Its a very versatile ball. and a must have for anyones arsenal or any die hard "Track" fans. This is a ball you dont want to miss out on. And plus it just looks so nice going down the lane
Awesome ball by "Track"

My stats are in my profile.
Drilling: 5" pin to pap under bridge, 45* cg kick with 3/4" hole on pap, MB about 2" right of thumb.
Surface prep:4000 abralon, no polish.
After watching a few locals in my area throw this thing i had to get one. One thing i noticed was the easy length it got on THS, so i opted to go to 4000 abralon to neutralize some of the over/under i saw from others using this ball.
Initial impressions: Even at 4000 and no polish this ball still gets plenty of length, and a nice long backend motion. The ball reads the lanes easily, and is gonna be the first ball out of my bag on most THS's at the moment. This ball for me takes hand adjustments really well, and when i have to move say 3-2 or more left when i have to adjust it really gives me confidence that the ball will finish, where other pieces in my arsenal may labor with those moves.
This ball for me is one of those rare balls that i can stay with for a whole 3 game set. Carry is great, and i can play multiple areas with this one ball using simple hand/speed adjustments. This is my first Track piece in over 8 years, so far im satisfied. I think this ball will be good for most any style bowler as long as they tune the cover to suit their ball speed. I can see those with higher ball speeds struggle with this piece is the surface isnt right for them.

Despite being an experienced bowler, I don't use a lot of the technical terms, but will describe as best I can:
Am right-handed, and ball is drilled pin up (just over the ring finger). Oob finish, 15 lbs, and is a standard drilling (not Sarge Easter, Rico. etc.).
Wanted something similar to my Columbia Bedlam, which this is, but it goes longer and comes back harder. Part of that could be the ball being newer, however I bowled 28 games with it last night (yes... in one night--- a record in excess even for me!), and although the lanes were completely burnt at the end, this ball still got far enough down the lane for a good entry angle and then snapped into the pocket with authority (except at times when the operator got lazy and eased up a bit on the speed**).
**Only caution would be that it hits so hard sometimes that it doesn't mix enough and leaves splits (a few 4-9's). But this was more of a problem in the first 3 or 4 games after which I learned to trust exactly when and where it's break point would occur.
My first Track ball ever, and I love it!
Hope this review is useful despite the lack of technical data.

I work in a bowling alley so I've also thrown a lot of there others.
So far Track seems to have put out a lot of GREAT balls I was especially impressed with the 715a and 505a.
The 607a is probably my least favorite ball from Track so far
Drilled pin over ring or #4. The balls reaction was not to my liking so I plugged and re drilled with a more custom drilling.
My average is + or - 220 in a few leagues which is normal and I have not had a series under 600 with it. You might think that doesn't sound to bad but something is just not right with this ball I strongly believe the weight block is f$%#ed up. Some guys believe that the re drilling might have screwed the core up by removing to much block material but... I don't think so. 2 of my classic drills reacted poor especially the first.
I myself and going to probably not leave Track just yet for this single incident but if you have had an experience like mine already maybe you should think twice. Also this ball did not come with the microfiber cleaning bag which I have plenty of but... kinda the principle.

I purchased this ball knowing that a lot of people had reservations about the ball. While it has been a condition specific ball for me, it has still been a good purchase. Overall, I have discovered the weakness with this ball is that you can't use it on high friction surfaces. When the ball is used on lanes with large amounts of built in friction the ball gets to angular at the breakpoint and you can't control the reaction down lane. Basically you end up playing the never ending game of chasing it left if you use it on the wrong pattern. I am going to try changing the under grit of the ball to 4000 and see if this takes out some of the over reaction down lane.
The correct place to use this ball is on low friction surfaces and sport shots, because this ball does nothing but create hold and area down lane. I have only been able to use the ball on Kegel Main Street at a low friction center known for turning house shots into sport shots and PBA Viper. On the hosue shot I can use this ball all three games if the surface is take down to 2000. On Viper this ball really shined. I was able to use it at the box surface for all three games, and the ball just created miss on it's on 2 boards right. Do you know what 2 boards of miss on a sport shot can do for your score? It's the reason I shot 300 with it the first night out on Viper.
In the end, I understand why people have qualms with the ball, but when used on the correct surface the ball makes the lanes play ridiculously easy. This like the other Track balls are own are amazing because basically I just need to release the ball cleanly and I always know it's going to make the turn back.

Well to start this ball is way stronger than I ever expected. This ball is srait as an arrow and finally when you believe the ball is never going to recover it makes the most angular move i have ever seen. I love the hit and carry off pocket hits still seem to carry. Over all I would recommend this ball to anyone looking for a extreamly angular movement with better than average carry. One other final thought I havnt had the ball skate on me yet cant say it wont but I havnt had it happen. Ball seems to have way to much movement to have a little oil flatten it out. Well thanks for reading the review hope it is helpful. My specs are in my profile.

I got this ball last night, I was a little worried that it would be similar to the Midnight Vibe I already had, but was pleasantly suprised that it was a much strong ball downlane. I don't do the whole know the angles and such, however it's pin up, just up and right of the ring finger, stacked with just to the right of the thumb, no weight hole needed.
When I first got the ball found it to be squirty and over under.. so took some advice I saw on the forum had them hit it with 4000, no polish added, and then got a very consistent angular movement in the back. I am about 15mph bowler, plenty of hand, so was thowing the ball accross 15 at the arrows out to 3-4 at the breakpoint and wham left turn into the pocket. First 7 strikes after the 4000 added. Pulled a couple, thumb was a little snug, but through a 236 and 233 for it's inaugural games. This gave me what I want with a good snap on the back, but it would hold if tugged in to 10 at the break..
Very impressed with what I thought would end up being a copy of what I have.. just blisters the pins whin in the pocket... left a couple of 4's but no 10's.

COMMENTS
Likes: Ease that the ball gets through the heads and maintaining energy on backend. As long as backends are clean, ball has excellent recovery. Any carrydown, ball struggles to recover and make it back. In line with other review, if I were to hit it with 2000 or 4000 abralon, ball would be a little more predictable but then I would be duplicating my other arsenal. Leaving OOB, I have a great go-to-ball my third game during second shift leagues.
Dislikes: Color. Track has some unique color schemes. Was initially hoping for this to be my benchmark ball and was very disappointed in the beginning. Once I realized the time and place to use this ball, I have been completely satisfied with it.

Bought this ball in trial to see if it was as angular as they said so i decided to order a long pin around 4 inches and drilled it pin high above bridge and mb is 3 inches right of thumb with a hole in the lower quadrant. First off the ball was the most angular skid flip ball I have ever seen. This ball is way stronger than expected. This ball in my opinion for me was the strongest polished ball I have ever thrown about 5-6 boards stronger than my Mutant Cell Pearl. Hitting power of the ball is great carry is good but noticed some corners and a few 9s. The ball is almost to angular if there is such a thing. My specs are in my profile hope this review woks and helps others.

COMMENTS
Likes: Drilled this ball with pin over bridge, 45 X 4 3/4 X 45 (roughly) for you dual angle fans. Very nice length, for me this ball is great on some dry lanes to broken down conditions. Great length with plenty of recovery. My THS had too much oil until recently, and with the pattern change, this ball is awesome. I can be left of everybody else on the lane, throw right to where everybody else is playing and open up the lane. High speed players will use this on dry lanes. Slower speed players will love this ball for the length it gets.
Dislikes: Over/under with box surface on fresh conditions. Works better on drier fresh, some shorter patterns.

Likes:The 607A-SE is the closest Track ball i've had to being "skid/flip" (please note, I have not yet thrown a 508A, 811A-SE, 706A, or 300A) as the very nature of this ball is effortless length with a strong angular motion off the spot. This ball is ideal for when the lanes begin to breakdown, the head oil starts to disappear, and there is minimal carrydown in the backend - picture second shift leagues, lighter volume Sport and House shots, and games 5-8 of PBA Regionals (assuming you are right-handed...). I have had a lot of success with this ball during games 3 and 4 of my summer league that uses a modified version of the Baton Rouge USBC OC pattern (see above for short description) as the lanes have begun to breakdown a bit and a lot of the volume that is in the front part of the lane has dissipated. My layout for this ball is 65x4 3/4x45 which is my favorite layout to use when i'm looking for a "skid/flip" reaction or need to play from an inside angle - despite being a good "skid/flip" option this ball is still very versatile in my opinion as i'm able to play almost anywhere on the lane using either weaker or stronger hand positions, making it a very good benchmark-type ball
This ball caters to either slower-speed bowlers who need helping getting the ball to push through the front part of the lane or bowlers who are looking for a ball that is great on second shift that will let them open up the lane and allow them to "get the ball back from anywhere"
Dislikes: It has been my experience that this ball does not take to surface changes very well, i've only ever had success with the ball being polished - mind you, there are other balls available that are better for the intended purpose of knocking the shine off of a 607A-SE so this isn't exactly a tragic thing, just an observation
