no more numbering system?
« on: April 26, 2015, 09:22:00 AM »
couple new pieces don't have the numbers...
interesting change.
i used alot of the early numbered pieces and i could follow it for the most part until the 9 series stuff was weaker than the 7 series
but, the 5 and 7 series stuff was some great pieces
505t and 715t especially, for me anyways

Wasnt a fan of the number system but the current system seems even worst. Change would be good
…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

I liked the original numbering.  It seemed like it got worse as time went on...that 811ct and that first 16 ball were the only 2 good HP balls they had..

If u can't sell the high end ones you're in trouble
In the bag [Infinite Physix, Volatility Torque, Night Road, Phaze III, Burner Solid, Hustle AU]
*Now Testing* IQ Ruby, Renevant, another IQ Tour solid
Coming soon...???

I honestly feel that just giving the ball a name or have a "line" or "series" name and work with that. It seems like it would be easier for the customer when looking for new equipment.

Track will no longer use the numbering system. Which is a good thing imo.

Do you by chance know if they are going to go back to a conventional names or will they be making another system?

My 2 local Track guys said they will use conventional names. As soon as some beans are spilled on what, I'll pass the info on.

I also heard this from the Track staffer at my Pro Shop.

     My Track sales have been pretty much non-existent since they went to the numbering system. Maybe this will help sales IMO, I think Track has the best of the 4 EBI brands. Had the best success with the 508A.

can you compare the current tour sic to the old numbering system for me?
i had used Track almost exclusively for a while, then the 900 series stuff came out and it seemed that they were losing their way or ran out of numbers..
ventured over to Hammer, Columbia and Ebonite since then, have no track to speak of, except my trusty old 505T

I'm not completely sure, I'd almost put it as being 400 C/T

I have no heard of this going away from the numbers bit... As far as the Tour SiC going off this little chart I would say putting a number on it would like a 700CT or something in that area. The LX05 if I remember correctly is almost like a 505t...
