  This ball is great. Just punched it up with the #1
drilling on Track's drill sheet which is 5 x 5 with the
pin above my ring finger. This ball is very strong when
you need to swing it. I found the best reaction was
25 to 10. With this drill, you definately need to find
some dry areas, but when you do, hold onto your pants
as this ball takes an immediate left hand turn. If you
leak it into the oil a bit, seems to skid a little far
and leaves weak 10's. First game with it shot 248 and 217.
Definately play deep with this ball and swing it. Playing
up the boards takes away from this balls performance.
Talk to you guys later. Chao!!

This ball is great. I drilled it label leverage with a weight hole.
right out the gate i shot 258, 249 279 for a 786 this ball works great when the heads have a little oil and the back ends are scorched. this thing hits like a tank

Along with the Eraser Blaze and Boost, I decided to try Track's Money. I have heard great things about it, so I said why not.

At the time, I didn't have the 2 storm balls, so I was going to build around this ball.

On me, 18-19 MPH, a whole lot of revs

I drilled this ball up to read the midlane and have good backend. I was looking for a strong readable ball that I could build a line around in terms of equipment. All I have to say about this ball is WOW. This ball is all about consistency. It was a little weaker than I anticipated when I bought it, so I decided to buy a stronger ball (Boost) and a weaker ball (Blaze). Well, after the Blaze outhooked my expectations, I decided to calm down the Money, so I hit it with Black Magic and glassed it up pretty well. Well, I have never been as happy as I was when I threw this ball after that. Talk about versatility! This ball clamed down about 13 boards from its previous reactions and is now well weaker than both the Blaze and the Boost. The way this ball rolls now, it is a light-to-medium oil benchmark ball that has an even roll with predictable arcing backend.

10/10 for versatility. This ball can be anything you are looking for outside of the two extremes (heavy oil and fried). The hit is tremendous, and the versatility now gives me a high performance ball on light to medium oil when every else needs to pull out the lower line stuff.(Scouts, Flames, Claws, etc.) At a tournament, this ball will give you that kind of advantage over the competition, and allow to make its namesake, MONEY!!!!!

this ball was originally drilled for a cranker so we polished it out of the box. he didnt like it so i tried to throw it. it works great polished with the ebonite factory finish. it goes long then has a strong arc, but not a snap. works great on synthetic lanes. i kept it polished because i never run into the heavy oil synthetic shot. but i finally did run into it a couple of days ago and i went to the pro shop to get a medium sand on it. i threw it the next frame and it bled all of the energy while going down the lane. i left several weak 10s and two 8-10s before putting it back into the bag.

Ha Ha!!! You guys really don't need me to tell you how great of a ball this is- but I'm gonna anyways. Ball: 15# 2oz., top of 3.5 and pin @ 3". Drilled twelve o'clock leverage, shift the grip up, and come back from center grip through the CG to the PAL for the weight hole which is 7/8" diameter and almost 3" deep. Revs a ton, hooks a ton. Love the Heat2 weight block. Only league games (4) so far, threw on a longer than average pattern on wood lanes: 263+247+278=788 and a 258 to finish. Left a greek churh on a fill ball, a seven pin also on a fill ball, and the rest were 10s. Started one game with 5 in a row, two games with seven, and another with the front nine. If I wasn't a poor college punk I'd fill a warehouse with these and the HEAT2. Can't wait to get the EZ Money. Track for Life!

Money, 15 lbs, 2.25 oz of tw, 2 inch pin.

Drilling, pin under ring finger, cg in palm. I now use the ball on all the medium heavys that the VooDoo squirts on. Probably wont see much more action with my Freak around but I will always remember the Money. This is the ball that got me hooked on Track. Revs hard, hooks hard, and hits even harder. Very versatile can play up the boards or swing this ball thats why it will always have a spot in my bag. Simple feet and target adjustments and you can keep this ball in play easily. Great ball. Since the Freak is out, im seeing these balls in proshops on closeouts. A real steal if you can get one.

Ived got this ball used from matt smith(great guy). Had the ball polished with black magic just to delay the hook a bit and pin under the ring finger.

The only thing you have to remember is to have sufficient oil in the heads or it will hook of your feet.Revs hard and hooks hard and carries extremely well. I currently use it on heavy-med with tons of oil in the heads otherwise i go with my spirit. Definitely worth the MONEY!!!

hello,
im a big track fan let me say for starters...
i bought this ball a while ago but didnt use it as my champ still did its work after 1,5years and 1 service.I live in Greece and there isnt much oil used here on the lanes.The biggest problem i would say is that i think where i play,maybe its because of the temp,or the humidity or the quality of the oil,that when lanes break down you are..r scr****.Anyway
I had my champ drilled ofr high flare potential,but i drilled my money with drilling number 3(pin over 2 fingers).Also my money is a money second,pin out 4-5 inches.
Im a mid rev player i would say low speed.
The balls reaction is this:arrows 18,break point 6-5,pocket!As lanes break down i move left.
Sometimes i threw it on a smaller angle like arrows 16 break point 10-8 and got a better looking strike.
I figured that this ball has a lot of potential which gives you the choice to really choose your game depending on the lane conditions and how they begin to break down.After a while,i may go back to my champ to finish the job if this one is becoming much stronger.
Very nice ball,and im looking forward to using new track equipment.
one question though:is it better to drill a ball for its highest ability thinking that when it begins to wear out after serviced once,to still have te best usage of the core,and give you an acceptable hook?

I'm finally going to review this ball after 1 1/2 years and two different drillings.

Oil pattern: 36" oil 39" buffed out, synthetic lanes,
Check my profile for other info.
Ball: 15# Pin 3"

First drilling:
3 3/8" X 5"  
Ball reacted decently until the carry down became a factor.

Second drilling:
4" X 2" , balance hole 1" past PAP on GML
Totally different reaction smooth roll and when it hit the dry then it took off and stood up to the pins ripping them everytime.

Wasn't a ball where I would say you could use it everywhere but it carried well and didn't die after 50 games.

Rating: 8 out of 10
