Greatest balls of all time?
« on: March 19, 2010, 01:45:04 AM »
Just wondering what are some of the track "greats"

I think the 505c and 715c will be on the list some day. Your thoughts?

Threat!!!!!!  Still going strong.  I get new stuff, but that ball still ends up in my hands.

Tantrum!

I have 2 and they have made me more money than any other ball on late night conditions. Keep em on medium-medium light oil and the read on these are incredible.

Don't have their most recent stuff (might get a 505A soon, balls looks great), so here are my faves from the past:

Crunch Time
EMB Pearl
Mean Machine
Slash
Freak-A-Zoid
Mutant
KO Punch
Elliptical Mass Bias

If it is to be, it is up to me.

Original Heat. Used it with success on almost every condition I found. Fingers cracked out pretty bad, some day I'm going to have them plugged and bring it out of retirement.

Triton Elite Solid was the best ever from the Track line of balls  for me.

Heat Remake not too bad.

Xception 5.0 the worse followed by the Contender

GP 2 so-so

For me the entire Heat line was awesome, as well as the Freak line.

Del warren did an excellent job designing the cores of those balls. There are still quite a few Track pieces that are extremely versatile on all conditions.

The Slash, Thrash, VooDoo, and Hex come to mind in terms of all around versatility. Personally, I loved the Enforcer, the Assassin, and also the Magic for toasty conditions.

TripleAAA+++ .... Also throw in the Shark...

Do you remember the boring white logo on the T-Shark?

We would re do it in Red and put it on display..

Really made the ball stand out...

I'll never forget the sales reps face when he first saw that...
