What new Track balls are you thowing and what do you think?
« on: August 29, 2013, 03:29:05 PM »
Drilled a 706T and a 910A

The shot usually has a lot of oil volume and length but I did not see the norm last night. I threw them both. Fresh shot and there were crisp back ends. Then we had a lot of carry down. The 706T was very strong throughout the lane as I thought it would be. It set up nice in the mids and had a strong roll in the back. I ran out of lane in the 3rd game and threw the 910. VERY easy length, very defined change of direction and roll. They both hit hard but probably were not the right pieces meaning too strong for that shot. The 920T is the read ball and I never took it out.

I drilled both a 503A and a 300A but have yet to throw them. The league shots I see I can cover with everything else. That 503A comes with a 800/1000/2000 surface. If you need more length, you can adjust it to 4K. That should be a buzz saw. I placed it to use under the Up-Rising which I keep a fresh surface on and I have not thrown that in some time. Let us know what you think....

OK, it's not a new Track but it's new to me. Picked up a 716T and shot it for the first time last night. Wanted something more aggressive than my Black Widow for the fresh oil and it worked great. Shot a 247 with it and even had 1 open.

My only issue was I stuck with it too long as the lanes broke down so my 2nd game was a mess.  :D

got a 300c solid drilled up a week ago ( rico ) and it's pretty awesome..  also had a hammer arson low flare.. i know its not track, but wanted something that doesnt turn left on the backend and is control-able.. 

I do have a nib 920T coming my way, and I am also thinking of either a 503T or 706T or C/A ...

I like the 920T as a compliment to the UP-RISING. Both are drilled pin below. Similar surface but the 920T gives control up front when the UP-R is squirty up front. The 920T is smooth yet very heavy rolling and hard hitting. Great ball   I have a NIB in the closet.

Ok I am reviving this post, I just got 5 new Tracks drilled and I am very impressed!
I got the 300C solid, 400A, 505c2,706t,and the 910A, I threw 8 practice games tonight and these balls are great.

The White ball is just stupid great, this ball is special in so many ways. Can play outside, inside and ball is strong yet smooth!
300C Solid-Another great ball, so smooth and strong but knows its limits, very readable.
505C2-Is really versatile, really impressed.
706T-threw a few shots but I like what I see.
910A-WOW, this ball is really good as well, length with great backend, great looking ball as well.

All balls were left in box finish, still early and need more time and patterns but I see potential in all. More later..

That's a very good arsenal and those are good descriptions.
I threw the 910A and 706T a little more

910A went to 4K finish. I like it better like this. Still goes long, still flips and rolls hard. I agree  Great ball

706T Out of box; 2K. I like the traction roll. Easy to read back end, Too much for that shot right now.

503A Out of box; 2K/polished. Drilled Feb 13  I threw this on he league shot for most of game 3. Played a straighter line (for me); out to 7 and down just to see if I could get a reaction. I had to slow the ball way down, but saw it rev up and roll. It appears to be as adv.

300A Out of box; 4K/polished. Appears to be as adv. Did not wrinkle-needs friction. 
   


Thanks for posting

Just picked up an 811 c/t from a close-out list. Couldn't resist! I've loved this ball since it first hit the lanes, and when I saw it on the list it was "coming home". Haven't drilled it yet (its an x-out, with a long pin) so I'm probably going to go with bigger drill angles. Probably something like 70 x 5 1/2 x 65. Long, and strong!

Anyone else have experience with this ball? Not really looking to "fit" it in my arsenal---- it'll find a spot, regardless of where. Will start OOB, then alter from there. Can't wait!

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get this ball on discount?

Sent you a pm; I search disco lists online & occasionally strike up a deal with my local pro shop operator.

I am currently using the 505C2 and the original 300C.  The 505C2 is very predictable for me, it is the first ball out of the bag on Saturday night.  The 300c is my go to ball when the lanes break down it is the only ball I use on Thursday night league.

Using 300-C Solid and 400 A SE.  Great compliment to each other for Typical House Shots.  Everyone should try this pair

706c/a . Very clean then huge backend. Love this ball. Will likely have me switching to a track only lineup. Oob surface . Pin up negative drill. This is a great ball. When oil is light it still is clean up front but the backend hook becomes too much....what eould be a good track piece to ball down to.????

@tattoo4139

I am loving my 706c/a as well, a ball that compliments the 706c/a as far as balling down is the 400A SE either drilled the same or weaker but not extremely weak.  If you want to go extremely down 300C is not bad at all.  I can literally go from 706c/a to 400A SE (drilled the same), to 300C (drilled different).  However I hope what is working for me will work for you as well.

Got a 505c2 from JamminJD and so far so good, when I've thrown it right it really does have a ton of continuation. However I've noticed when I miss I'm more prone to leave a 10 pin.
I have a 910a at the shop I'm gonna put an IT sleeve in and throw today
