Track 300A
« on: July 11, 2012, 11:20:07 AM »
I've been impressed with the videos I've seen of this ball!

Reminds me a bit of my old but still super Sonic Boom!

THose who have seen it or used it....your thoughts?  I have a 300T which I haven't punched up yet....I've seen them compared in video.  The 300A has a lot of energy at the pocket!

REgards,

Luckylefty
PS should I be excited about this pill?

You probably should be excited about any Track ball that you get. They are that good.

I know nothing about the 300A, and little to nothing about the 300T. Around here the 300C is KING! Especially on dried out, spotty, lane conditions, or lanes with flying back ends. A very consistent ball, that I would easily rate equally to those RG balls in the Sonic line.

Jesse,

Refresh my memory, are you in the oil deprived Washington, DC area or thereabouts?  With all that government spending one would think they would have money for a little lane oil!

Which leads to a question.  Have any of the TrackFanatics compared a Track 300C to a Track 300a.  Both pearls with the same core and very modest dynamics, can there be much difference?

By the way I just saw a 300T vs 300A and noted about 3 boards difference at the laydown point on You Tube.  Any of our Track experts know?

Regards,

Luckylefty

Luckylefty - Dave did a comparison and briefly described it in the new release announcement thread:

Lucky,

I have all three 300 balls.  The 300A is probably the strongest of the three.  The T handles oil pretty well, add some surface to it and it is even better.  The A is a strong ball for this price point.  I have two of these, and the stronger of the two can handle the fresh league conditions where I bowl at.  Both have really good hitting power.  Both are probably 6-8 boards more ball than the C.  The C is my dry lane ball, and has much more length.

Hope this helps you!!

Guys I appreciate the comments and answers.

To Mike Austin how different did you drill them?  Or how were they drilled and what difference did you see.

Note I have a Tropical Storm and at my house it is plenty on Fresh if I get it over in the dirt near 5!  Big backend driven from very powerful coverstock.

I also have a Sonic Boom I love in just slightly deeper(similar core specs to the 300 series).  Very smooth with usually enough for league from it's core.

I am looking at the A as a replacement due to possible aging of the Sonic Boom in the future!

Thanks,

Luckylefty

Hey Lucky,

In regards to your question...YES I AM!  Pretty sad, huh?
Good to hear you are still being your same ole experimenting self. Track has been putting out some good stuff. You are on the right "TRACK"! ;)
Happy Bowling!

OK, I had misread posts above and thought somewhere there was a video showing the 300a vs 300c, I see it is a written comparison.

I appreciate all the helpful comments above.  Hope to see a video of the 300a vs 300c.

After reviewing all videos I could find I have now seen the 300c 503c.  The 300a vs the 508a, the 300t vs the 300a.

Next hopefully I will see the 300c vs 300a!

the ball is awesome. I find it is my go to ball almost every day. I have probably shot 7 or so 700's with the ball in the month that i've had it. I shot 300 with it the week after punching it. The 300T and 300A are a great pair. The 300T has a great mid lane read without over hooking early. the exact opposite of that is the 300A that is super clean through the fronts with a smooth snap off of dry lanes. I have a couple of videos of all the new Track balls on my youtube channel at www.youtube.com/deadwoodproshop
And in case you haven't seen my 300A video, here you go. Good luck, and I hope you love the 300 series equipment as much as I do.

Deadwood,

Yes I had already seen your 300A video, and enjoyed it quite a bit.  Nice rolling, nice throwing!
