It is weird... my U. Solid seems to track differently than my other stuff.  Is that even possible?  I don't know enough about ball reaction to know if I am seeing things or if this is true.

Basically, my track is normally very high, which suggests to me that my natural release is fairly up the back with a lot of forward roll, even though it doesn't feel like I am coming up the back when I release the ball.  On most of my equipment, the inside oil ring comes back about 1/2" from the fingers and almost touches the thumb, as long as I throw a "good" release (I am a righty).

On the Uranium Solid, the inside oil ring comes back often times over the middle finger and about 2" LEFT of the thumbhole!  What does this mean?  Is this what is known as an inverted track?  I am very confused about this particular subject, and I hope I am not just talking out of my arse on this deal, but I have seen this many times with this ball.  What would be the cause of this type of track, and what does it mean for me base on the way I throw the ball?

All this being said, I love the way the ball moves down the lane.  It is always my 1st ball out of the bag, as I do throw with some decent speed and revs, but it usually gives me the arc strength I need to carry.  I am all over the place when I try to slow the ball down, so this is the ball that seems to give me my best look.  Hence my concern that it my be discontinued.  Here is a pic of the layout:

Any info or opinions would be helpful.

It is interesting that the ball can track so differently yet still make it to the pocket the same way.  Also very interesting that a ball with the same core as so many other Buzzsaws would track so differently.

I guess I don't understand the reverse flare/inverted track thing at all.  I don't know the "normal" factors involved that result in this, therefore I am confused why the U Solid in particular would produce such consistent feedback from users of this ball.

I do hear thumping on the holes far more often with this ball than with any of my other stuff, yet I am generally VERY happy with the result when I throw this ball.  Suppose I were to get another one and drill it differently; knowing that I am typically a high tracker, what layout would you suggest to avoid tracking over any of the holes?

i drilled my uranium pearl with a CG leverage layout, pin below the fingers. i love the ball, it has a rather unique move to the pocket and it kills pins. i noticed i am flaring further from my thumb than my fingers also! i track decently low, in this case 3" from the fingers BUT 2" from the thumb. only ball i do that with. wierd.
