This ball makes me want to bowl. I cant believe how good this ball is. I drilled the pin 4 in off my pap and the mass about 1 1/2 right of my thumb. It gets angular from all points on the lane. I can play in and out with just some changes in my hand position. Buy it, steal it, or marry it but whatever you do put it in your bag.

I have 3 of them drilled. The one thing for me I found was to take the factory finish polish off with 2000 abralon and the re-polish it with factory finish. The factory uses high pressure machines to polish the balls and the polish gets real hard and your reaction can be inconsistant.

My PAP is 5" over and 1/4" up. Rev Rate 375, 45° axis rotation, 17° axis tilt. ball speed off my hand approx. 18.5 mph

Ball# 1: Drilled with a 5 1/2" pin to PAP, Drill Angle is 60°, VAL Angle is 70°. The pin is below the middle finger and the surface is curretly at 2000 Abralon. Ball reads the mids very well and makes a very strong defined move to the pocket. I use this ball a lot to start out with.

Ball # 2: Drilled with a 5 " pin to PAP, Drill Angle is 60°, VAL Angle is 40°. The pin is above the ring finger and the surface is curretly at 2000 Abralon with factory finish polish. This ball is very good when the lanes open up and I can get in and wheel it.

Ball # 3 Drilled with a 6 1/2" pin to PAP, Drill Angle is 75°, VAL Angle is 45°. The pin is above and left of the middle finger and the surface is curretly at 2000 Abralon with extender polish. This ball is good when the lanes are getting torched. It is very clean through the fronts and makes a some what snappy but controlled move at the back of the lane.

Very pleased with this one.
first 10 games with this ball at box finish and It reminds me of my paradign, but more angular finish on the backend. This ball works well, when my Black/W Sting is too strong for the lanes.

Lane 1 Wood 43ft top hat pattern outside 6 boards dry with plenty of oil in the middle. Ave219 6games

Lane 2 Syn. 40ft Xmas tree pattern outside 5boards a bit of a no go area. Ave.214 4games

I will try the surface at 2000 + B/magic polish and update this review

 0 pin

sorry to ever looks at this, but it's my first review. I rely on the ball driller Lee of LPSA I say what I'm looking for in the ball and he comes up with the goods

Thanks

Surface at 2000ab with light B/magic polish on most medium oil patterns - med/dry 37-43ft the ball carries really well with a very even but late arcing finish. target depending on length of oil anywhere between 10-22 board & breakpoint 7-12

First off I am a righty with 17-18 mph and aroung 450 rpms. This ball came in with a short pin not preferred by me but hey its an x-out with a slightly shifted cg. Drilled it pin above bridge which lined the cg at about 1oclock touching my ring finger and placed the mb below my thumb about at the 4oclock position. Lanes I am bowling on are old school wood that havnt been redone in about 5 years and heads are shot. Oil is with a century 100 machine thinking flat pattern sent down twice to about 37 feet. Now hearing that to top things off he strips the lanes once per week and me with my 188 is house high. About me I used to bowl in other houses and was around the two teens, but keeps a nice tourney average.
Now the good stuff The ball is better than expected, It clears the heads nicely and picksup huge on the backend(even though we really dont have backend we have carrydown from the other 5-6 nights. This ball shocked me on how well it handled carrydown. Compared to my venom I would say 5-6 stronger and seems like it dosnt skate when the rest of my equipment does. IMO great release from track definate medium oil ball. Just got my 505c today hoping for a nice complement to the 715. Great job track love the direction you are taking things. Also kind of a P.S on both balls called track and they gave me drilling instructions and askes for a follow up. Well thanks for listening hope my review helps a few others.

I am a 17.5 - 18.5 MPH bowler with a heavy revs PAP 5" over 3/4" up. I tend to play a bit deeper than most players and swing out pretty far, my breakpoint is usually between 5 - 8 boards.

Drilled leverage with the MB kicked in towards my thumb. Pin out 4 inches with 3.0 oz top to start. Balance hole drilled in the P3 location according to Mo Pinel's gradient line balance hole guide.

This Ball makes a move at mid lane and then continues strongly to the pocket from there. I play much deeper and swing further out with this ball on typical house shot. Stand 30 breakpoint at 6-8 boards.

This ball has good hit to it, very strong continuation. I shot on the USBC Nationals shot with this ball but found for my game this ball made too early a move with my full hand in the ball. I will need to tweak and practice with this ball a bit more because I think it could be great for team event when the shot is real slick.

On Typical House shot at my house I found this ball to be a bit to much on a fairly short house condition. Will try later in the week at my other center that has a less aggressive synthetic surface and typically plays a bit more "oily"

I did shoot 259 with this ball in practice on house shot so it does hit but there were two or three brooklyn strikes in that game.  For me this ball needs oil for my game with heavy revs.

thanks,

Another lefty trade-in. I wanted to try this ball. I wanted it to face up at the pocket and not over-react. I wanted to reduce some of the angularity. (I like rolly-balls). I plugged this ball and drilled it 5X3X3. Pin over ring, MB 1 inch left of VAL. I then put a weight hole on my axis taking the ball to 1/2 negative side. Went out to the lanes on a fresh THS shot and was very dissapointed. The ball was rolling out too soon and when I tucked deeper into the oil I left 5 pins. (surface was 2ooo dull) I brought the surface up to 4000 and added black magic. On the fresh shot it was somewhat better but very touchy. I threw the ball into the bag for further testing. Next night I brought it out after carry-down was interupting my fun. I through the ball up 7 and it pounded the pocket throwing all ten into the pit. All that the ball needed was carrydown to retain its pop. I was amazed at the difference. This ball has basically become the Go to ball when all else fails. But if it comes out to soon it time to pick spares. Very interesting two ball combo: 930T/715A.
