Trying to decide--need some opinions please
« on: February 16, 2012, 04:41:20 AM »
I'm trying to decide between the Elevate or the Signals as a mid condition ball.  Something that will give me good length and a strong arc or snap on the back end.  A ball that will take over when the Mission's are too much but it's still not dry enough for a Cyclone.  Could also be considered as the first ball out of the bag.
 
Any advice would be appreciated.

 Well I would go with tracks 503c if it was me that's what I use when my x is too much or reading to early then my step down is a 300c or 300t just my 2 cents.

I have my Elevate between my Mission X and Cyclone. Yes the Elevate can be considered as a ball that comes out first.

I would definitely recommend the Elevate over the Signals.  Even though the Signals is a step down, being asymetrical it will still give you a similar look as the Mission once the lanes begin to break down a little. The Elevate will get down the lane with ease compared to the Signals and Mission, and recovers very well.

I would go with the Elevate over the Signals as well. I throw the Vital Energy (same core but weaker than the Signals) and both of those are designed for medium-heavy. The Elevate will be a little weaker but gives you a better midlane read and a controlled arc rather than going sideways in the backend.



You could also look at the Track 503C or 508A as other options. The 508A will be stronger on the backend while the 503C is more of a midlane ball. Both offer good looks on medium and medium-light patterns.

I would go with the Elevate.  I drilled one a few weeks ago.  It is very controllable and works great on a house shot.
