That site is a dumpster fire. Needs serious updating.

Ill buy a track ball when they bring the shuttle core back in the 5 or 4 series...

Also its been said before...they could move quite a few high end balls if they would come back with the megatron core from the rising..perhaps a ten series ball?

I am seriously close to picking up a 716c and a 508a (now that theyre discontinued) as my first two in a long time from track..

716C was a great piece for many in our area.  Very versatile and receptive to cover changes.  I think the new releases will get your attention.

Lol, last Track ball I drilled was from SA. I think it was the Mean Machine, or somewhere along that time frame.

 I like what they are doing. The past few drills were a synergy ets and a 505a lol. In the same year. Got an equation to punch eventually.  I want  a 508 and 300a
…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

They also still list Mike Fagan as their staffer from NY.  Only thing is he's now with Storm and has lived in TX for the past few years.  They also never updated his titles either (the USBC Masters is missing).

the 500 & 700 series balls are a proven series
505a, 505c & 505t are awesome balls
715t also very good

the 706t is supposed to have a strooong cover...
could be another 700 series winner

900 series....not so much, maybe 912t, but other than that...nope

300 series also pretty decent, the 300t is a short sport killer
the new 300c looks interesting

I have had some decent success with the track numbered balls
way better than Storm/Roto

Dozer--- I did exactly as you were thinking; picked up a 508a a few months ago, and got the 716c on close out. Also have the 503t but that's for another day to discuss.

I have not been disappointed with the equipment- both are drilled in the 50/60 by 4.5/5.5" by 20/35 range (Similar but not exactly the same; I wanted them to compliment each other well)

The 716c is about 3-4 feet earlier than the 508a, and overall about 4 boards stronger. The only downside to the C is when they start to break down, I lose carry when moving inside to open up the lane more. The 508a plays very well on fresh with extremely clean backends, and then again after 4 games on the pair (broken down mids, backends starting to recover from carry down).

For the price right now, drill them up. I'm pretty impressed with their 3-800 series balls. Had a 912t but got rid of that when I dropped to 15lbs.
Reax-45x4.5x40(pin down)
Nexus (original)- 45 x 4 x 35 (pin up)
503t-45x4.5x40
Source-60 x 5.5 x 50
Nexxxus f(p+s)-70x5.5x35
Marauder-55x5x50 (2k+polish)
300t-60x5.5x50 (+polish)
Melee-75x6x40 -- Anyone want to buy this?

The new 300C looks like a winner for the heavy handed guys on the easy stuff.

Definitely have to suck up to the wife to try and score this ball.

@Dave81644: I love my 920A. The 4000 surface wasn't great, so I changed it to 500/Rough Buff. Much better of a read and isn't ridiculously strong now. I have a 916AT that is really good on longer patterns, but it's really condition-specific.

Had 919c - couldn't get rid of it fast enough.
should have been a 7 series ball at best

916At was to condition specific for me, also gone

A couple of 715t is all i really need for the track strong stuff
threw the 912t at a demo days with Jason couch last fall and it was way to much for me, maybe if i took the surface up it might be playable, but ridiculous strong

IDK, stronger core (higher Diff), stronger cover ... and a solid.  A lot of people loved the original 300C for its good motion and control on dry.  This ball looks stronger by everything they've said.  I wish they made something a little weaker, without urethane.
