Triple Threat
« on: August 05, 2003, 12:26:46 AM »
Has anyone seen one of these or thrown one yet?? I need some info on it and want any information on it i.e... reaction shape, lane condition thrown on, drill pattern, bowler's style..... etc. You know, just your basic info. I still cant decide between a TT or a Thrash,

Yeah, Me too!

It has to be more rounded.  After all Thrash is more angular than the Threat!

No one out there???

Is the Triple longer than the Freak Out and does it have a stronger back end? I love the Freak Out on Heavy Oil with dry to turn it around. The only problem I have is when the dry in the back end of the lane starts to push down and you need something to recover a little more without burning up to early.

I didnt know this, that is a scary thought!! Hmm, I think I may opt for a TT as opposed to a Thrash. I need a good medium control ball rather than an angular medium ball. Any other input??

I do not see the Thrash as more angular that then Threat. Bowling on the same pair, I have a Thrash, a teammate of mine has a Threat. We bowl very similiar except I have about 2 mph more on the ball speed. My Thrash is very even rolling, devinately not a flip. His Threat is more skid snap. We have very similiar drillings, except he has his pin at 4 1/4 away from his pap, and I have mine set at just above 4. The Cgs are in identical positions.

As rated by Bowling This Month Magazine. Their numbers always vary compared to the company's. But the category still means the same thing.

Threat
-polished
-diff-6.3
-torque (higher the core torque, the longer the ball retains axis rotation)-6.5
-length-17
-backend-14.0
-hook-46

Thrash
-compound finish
-diff-6.9
-torque-6.0
-length-14
-backend-14.0
-hook-46

They comment that the core gives allows the Thrash to read the lane sooner than the Threat with a smoother breakpoint.


---this is exactly what I see when we throw our's side by side. I can stay with the Thrash longer because of the more aggressive finish on it than the Threat. Also, in track's own works in their advertisements "stong arcing backend reaction"

EXCALIBER, how does the Thrash do when there is carrydown?? What kind of conditions is it best suited for?

Rock, for me it still does well in carrydown and as in my profile, I have alot of ball speed. If it starts coming a little light because of carrydown, a 1 right with my feet and 1 rt with my target works well. On the same condition, my teammate--his name is Todd--has to switch to his Mutant.

Well after emailing Chuck Gardner at Track, he told me that the TT will be a smoother ball throughout the lane. It would also handle oil and carrydown better than the Thrash. I am leaning towards a TT, but still not completely sure yet. I need a bit more research.

My Thrash starts up sooner and smoother overall than the Threat.  It works slightly better on carrydown but not as well as a Freak Out.  Hopefully the TT will work just as well on carrydown but with more control.  I'll have mine drilled up in the next few days.

Anthony, please let me know the results with your TT. I am in desperate need of finding out what this ball does and how much oil it can handle. Thanks in advance.

Most of the time i could use my Thrash on medium-heavy oill, i can see how some people may say its more angular also depends how they have their ball drilled up. so i would say the thrash can be a controllable arc and more of a angular ball.
