I got this ball from my local pro shop as a tester ball. This is the first Track ball I have ever thrown. I am right handed, have a semi high rev rate, and throw the ball approx 18 MPH. My pap is 4" over 1 1/2" up. The pin is under the ring finger with the MB kicked out an inch and a half. The ball rolled great. This is one of the only balls that I have ever thrown that is shiny and read the mid lanes and continued to drive in the backend. It never jerked off the spot. It kept a very smooth and consistent roll through the whole lane.

I really like my 715A, so I opted to get the 715C for those times when the 715A starts up a tad too late.  I drilled my 715C with the pin 4" from the Pap and 1.5" from my VAL, and placed the MB in my track.  I was using the 715A last night, on a second shift league, and we had a bit more carry down than usual.  I had some issues with my 715A shooting past the breakpoint.  I decided to take out the 715C and see what it could do.  The 715C gave me just the reaction I was looking for.  The box finish allowed the ball to get down the lane, but the solid cover/drilling combo made the ball rev up and start its move 1-2' sooner than the 715A.  The ball has a nice predictable arc, and the breakpoint is controllable, just as advertised.  Hitting power is exceptional as it is with the 715A.  I think the 715C is a nice benchmark piece.  When the C starts up a bit too early, you can switch to the A.  All in all, a great 1-2 combo from Track.

I got this ball prior to bowling USBC Nationals in Reno Drilled pin below the middled finger, MB in Strong Position. Designed for good midlane read and strong finish. My Baller Driller "Todd Adams World Famous Pro-Shop"  in Sacramento, CA set this one up with me.  I also have the 505A and 715A.  I recently switch back to TRACK after years of being away, I have noticed the Track equipment hits really hard, keeps pins low and is really easy to switch between balls with the number system. This makes it simple to understand surface and core differences.

Right out of the box the 715C is way more aggressive than my 505A by at least five boards with my feet. I bowled on the 40 Frame Game Condition in Reno as well as nationals and never found a condition where this ball would roll out or failed to hook unless I did something drastically bad with my shot. when this ball gets into the roll it is continuos and strong.  On typical house shot I find this ball opens up the lane far more than anything else I have thrown in some time.

I am a former big rev player learning to back off the hand cup and just release the ball smoothly off my hand. Bowlers map testing has shown my AVG speed at around 18 MPH and revs around 450. Now that is after I relaxed my hand position, my Revs actually have gone up since relaxing my grip, and swing!

If there is anything bad to say about the 715C it is that for my game it is very sensitive to react early if my speed drops on shots. Even 1/2 MPH change can cause the ball on THS to react to early and for me this ball is very sensitive to me "Hitting up on the ball" but those issues are more bowler related than ball related.

I have the carry with this ball to be awesome, it just hits so hard and if anything I have been prone to more 4 or 9 pin leaves rather than the old 10 pin.

The 715C for me is my oily lane ball based on my revs my top score with the ball so far is 278 ( 4 pin and a 9 pin leaves) and I have had the ball 3 weeks. Top set so far is 737 with this ball but scores for me are a bit lower right now as I make improvements to my game.

Thanks to Todd Adams for setting this one up and to Track for making such a good horsepower ball!

I have used both the Jigsaw and 715C.  The Jigsaw was supposed to be for oil.  Drilled it pin over the bridge.  I didn't have the recovery I wanted on the backend on heavier volumn patterns.  Plus the coverstock had to keep being brought back earlier than anything I've ever owned.  Since it was for heavier oil, that was often.  After about three months I invested in the 715C after my wife had success with the 715A.  I drilled the 715C Rico, and it is WAY better than the Jigsaw.  Track is the way to go, and I've been a fan of both Hammer and Track.  I'd recommend the RICO drilling also.  I've used the 715C on 50 ft patterns, and it still picks up in the middle with a strong controlled recovery on the backend.  I have mine at 500 grip dull.

Expectations / Reaction
This was my first endeavor into tracks upper mid price line in a while and was pleasantly surprised with the results. The reaction I got out of this ball was effortless push through the heads with a strong midlane pickup and a surprising pop of the end of the pattern. Being a C series ball I did not expect the amount of backend I received but enjoyed the predictable anchorage before its strong move. With some pearls on the market you can get a squirty reaction down lane but not with the 715c. I was able to play multiple angles with this ball and still receive a tremendous amount of recovery even after the lanes transitioned. Overall a very successful release by track with a surprising amount of backend.
