Ball drilled: 3 3/8 x 4 1/2, balance hole at 5 1/4 inches from centre of grip, 1/2 positive side, 3/16 finger

Well just from feeling the coverstock you know this ball is going to turn.  Match that up with the Enforcer core and you've got yourself a turning monster!  I used mine on a standard house shot and found it offered about 7-10 boards more turn than my Heat 2 pearl (which before this was my biggest turning ball).  This ball is meant for oil only!!  Even just hitting the lane you can see the ball gripping and wanting to go the other the way.

For the rev-challenged bowlers or for the guys who want a ball for oil, this is it.  By far the biggest turning ball Track has ever made, I dare say about 2-5 boards more than the Enforcer.  I have only used it on a standard house shot but had to stand up next to the ball return just to keep it in play.  I am bowling on some oil in the next few weeks so I'll post another review after that.  I have no intentions of polishing it, and by the feel of the surface, you'd spend some quality time with the ball spinner to get it polished anyway.

Another good one from Track, hits like a truck but there must be oil present otherwise this baby is turning at your feet. Oil 10/10   Med 7/10  Dry 2/10

Don't be mistaken.  This ball hooks.  I drilled mine with the pin stacked 4 1/2 inches from my axis and a balance hole 2 1/8 inches beyond my PAP on the VAL.

Out of the box this ball can hook on almost anything.  If you need something to cut through the puddle in the middle of the lane on league night or for the tighter patterns in tounament play this would be a great ball for you. I had to polish the ball a little for the conditions I see locally.  For me this ball revs incredibly strong in the mid-lane and gives me a continuous strong arc off the breakpoint.  This is the strongest ball that I have thrown. The Money tends to continue hooking when other balls in its class shut down.

Great Name for a Great Ball!

We were excited to get our "Money Ball" and finally get this one on the lanes.
The Money Ball features Track's Tried and Proven "Power-Rev Core" as used in the Enforcer, Assassin, Heat-2, and Heat-2 Pearl.

The New "Tamed Down" Protracktion Cover Stock provides for a Strong and Friendly ball that will bite and hook in oil! Yet, provide a strong hook to the pocket! We found the Cover "Too Strong" out of the box for the typical house condition, but with alittle help from a trip to the ball spinner and Black Magic, we were able to use this one from start to finish.

As the lanes broke down we had to make our moves with our feet and target arrows, but the Money Ball rolled smooth and strong!

Great Hitting power and mix! THIS ball will carry!

This ball will be a excellent choice for those of you who need a good Oil ball with a very friendly cover that can be adjusted to several levels of lane conditions and bowlers hook styles.

We recommend this ball to all bowlers and think that you will also find that
this ball will earn its name with no problem!

This is definitely the most versatile ball that Track has ever made. I used this ball this past weekend to win a local tournament. The ball is drilled with the pin 1in above the ring finger and the cg 2in on the positive side of the ball. I used this ball all weekend on a condition that you could call medium-oily. Some pairs had more games than others so the oil in the front of the lane was different on every pair. I played everywhere from first arrow to the fourth during this tournament and carried from every angle. I love this ball and I hope Track can continue to produce versatile bowling balls like the “Money”. Thanks for reading.

All I can say is WOW.  When you have trouble getting other balls to come up to the pocket, the Money is the ticket.  It outhooked the Apex on the same shot, with the same drilling bu the same bowler by at least 4 boards.  Drilling  was over the label with the pin at 1:30. Nothing fancy, just pure hook power.  This ball seems to kick corner pins from all entry angles.  Compliment this ball with either the EMB-XF or the new VooDoo.

I just recently purchased this ball. We layed it out with the pin over the fingers and cg just below. And man it gave me a great look on synthetic lanes. But the great thing is when I moved in to 18 and 17 the ball still carried well. This is definitly a keeper. We polished her up with some ebonite extender polish. I would reccomend this ball for a stroker, and possible a tweener it would depend on ball speed and revolutions. I am very pleased with this ball from track.

Good Luck and Good Bowling,
Michael

This ball is great!!! My coach owns this ball, I was able to throw it a couple of games. Its drilled label leverage with a 2-3 inch pin. I was standing 30 playing over 15, the ball carried great. I shot 247, 257, and 245 with it, I would recammend this ball to anybody that wants a great ball.

THIS BALL I DRILLED A 4X3 DRILLING PIN BELOW MY RING FINGER AND CG KICKED OUT AND HAD TO USE A SMALL WEIGHT HOLE AND I TELL U THIS IS A GREAT BALL. THIS BALL HAS A LOT TO OFFER A GUY WHO IS A STRAIGHT PLAYER. I USED IT ON A SPORT SHOT AND IT WAS VERY STRONG IN THE MIDLANE BUT GOT THROUGH THE LANES EASILY. THIS IS A KEEPER AND IS GONNA FILL A LOT OF GAPS IN A FEW PLAYERS GAME. THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW TRACK BALLS THAT I CAN SAY I LIKE A LOT. THANKS.

Just another quick review to state that on the weekend I bowled a Regional in Australia and in game 14 of matchplay I shot a 300 with the MONEY.  I can't believe how well this ball worked when nothing else in my entire arsenal worked at all.   On the 12th shot I left a cold 8 but the messenger from hell took care of it for me.  Once again Track has delivered the goods.

Quick modification, 19th May, local championships, 300 in singles for a new record 743 block.

After reading some of the reviews about this ball I decided to see what all the hype was about.  Im a Tweener, Speed: 20-22, Revs: Above Average  

15 lbs.
2.5 oz. top weight
3 inch pin

After drilling the pin ended up just to the right and up of the ring finger with the cg an inch to the right with a balance hole.  I picked up the ball on Saturday to bowl a Sunday morning league at a house known for their dead backends and bad carry.  Pretty much a standard house shot but hard to find a breakpoint.  First practice shot I lined up like normal from 15 at the arrows out to 10 and just clipped the 4 pin.  With this drilling my ball had about 6 inches of flare.  After picking up my jaw off the ground I ended up playing from 20 out to the 5 and RIPPING the pins to shreads.  Mixes well with light, demolishes flush, and still trips the 10 on high pocket hits.  By far the most area with any of the other balls I own.  Awsome job Track 11 out of 10.

I was extremely pleased with the performance of this ball.  I drilled it 4 1/2 by 3 1/2, with the weight hole drilled 1" past the val.  I left the ball in it's box finish.  This ball has a nice early rev, and is pretty smooth off the breakpoint.  I was very happy with my ability to kick the 10 pin out on a regular basis.  I also had my first 300 on the PBA Tour in about 7 years with this ball.  I can get straighter up the back of the ball on use it on some of our local house conditions and not get too much over-reaction when I hit the dry, and this ball stills rolls up when I get it the oil.

The Money was a well designed ball for Track. with the new big foot cover and the enforcer core, the money is able to create tremendous hook with good control. For those bowlers with alot of revs the money works extremely well and and holds the inside line with a coat of 600-1200 degree polish. Hard hitter and a barn burner

a good compliment to the Hex Treme

  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!

Bowl good

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
