Arsenal Aggresive pin under the ring with weight hole of 3 inches, and the name says it all, this is an aggresive ball, clear heads without problem, hooks on carrydown and has amazing hitting power and I mean AMAZING I must have about 30-35 games with this ball and I haven't have that much of 10 pins. I have great control and the hooking action is very predictable. Coverstock is very versatile(PEAK particle coverstock) hope to get some more games on the ball!!!!!!!

My Ratings
Control 9 of 10
Backend 8 of 10
Expected Reaction 10 of 10
Impact and Carry 10 of 10
Hooking Potential 9.5 of 10
Length 7.5 of 10

Overall Rating 9 of 10 Awesome ball great ball to fit the med/heavy spot on any bag!!!

This ball should be on everyones bag you'll never regret it.

Track Arsenal Aggressive
Weight: 15#
Pin: 3"
Top Weight: 3.5 oz

Layout:
4 1/2 X 3 1/2 with the Pin above the finger. Weight hole less than an centimeter to the right of my PAP.

Thoughts:
I wanted a highly "aggressive" (no pun intended) particle ball drilled to go long and I got that and more. Ever since I got this ball it has been the first out of the bag every time. I have shot nothing but great scores and series.

Reaction:
Standing on 25 I tried this ball from 17-12 and got a great reaction to the pocket. Struck 95 % of the time playing this angle. I moved even more deeper standing on 29 playing 18-14 and the ball held great in the heads and had a very smooth/strong turn to the pocket. I threw a lot of strikes with this ball.

Conclusion:
This is a very nice symmetric particle ball. It has that smooth/aggressive reaction that I have been looking for, it definitely has found a place in the bag for league nights.

15LBS. Pin 2 1/2 out-of-box finish.....i had this baby drilled up to my favorite layout....Pin is about 1/8th of an inch to the right of the ring finger....CG is centered in the palm of the hand slightly to the right...i wanted to know what it can really do...never practiced with it....took it straight to my league night...i had a nice 632 for my first series with it...handles real nice and clean thru the heads for a particle....goes longer than i anticipated...which is a good thing for me....only had one ten pin all night. Left some fours and sevens. Great carry....retains energy on the backend. A great ball for your  "arsenal" excuse the pun.  Straight up, and Tweeners will love this ball...not your average particle ball guys....it acts like a resin...   Take care ...and Good Bowling......Earl

ive had this ball for almost 2months now...got some games on it to give u a true review. It`s still a very good hard hitting low particle ball....this is what i have found out.....keep this ball dull....as close to "in the box finish" as you can, because if you dont clean it and dull it after every 3 games....you will not get the reaction your looking for. Like i said before....it acts like a resin...takes out tens very well..still leaves an occasional 7 pin, but i can live with that....very versatile!..you can play all angles and surfaces!...will even play med. dry...well, thats all i have on this ball...if you are looking for something thats in between the "Super Carbide Bomb" and the "Goliath"....this is the one for you.....Later.....Earl

OK, this piece is dead on 15lb, drilled 4x2, 3" pin, top dont know(got it 2nd hand)

Had a chance now to throw this on some different conditions. I can honestly say i've never seen a ball that rolls like this thing. The Peak cover is particle on the front 40 and is near reactive on the backs. On my house shot where i'm usually struggling to get ball reaction from 10 and out and i'm ususally swinging 20 to 10 ive found from my usual line that this thing is too damn strong!!(a tweak with our pattern to help the fronts hold up may change that) Outside 10 where my old stuff just doesnt fire is my preffered home for this ball atm. I've found i really have to stay with the shot or this thing just reacts too strong off the break, not inconsistently by any means just too strongly to hold pocket. It's actually been kind of fun playing a little bit of a 'soft handed' shot compared to what i usually play(prob not soft handed compared to most people though) I can stand as far left as about 20 as the right side opens up until i run into the 'too strong' problem again and have to go to my older stuff. When the shot is on up the 7 board this thing just has the best roll i've seen on any ball. cant wait to try it on some real oil in a couple of weeks at a team tournament. Better start saving for an Artillery while i'm at it too

Here is my review of the Track Arsenal Agressive.

My ball is 15 pounds, 1-1/2 oz top weight, with a 4" pin.  I asked my coach for a drilling that would handle medium and play well on carry down.  We ended up with it drilled with the pin at about 2 o'clock and right next to the pin, with the center of gravity just about in the middle of the palm of my grip.

As it turned out this is an ideal "control" type ball for medium oil type conditions.

On Medium Oil, the ball turns nice and smooth and very predictable through the middle and the backend is moderately strong without being jumpy or flippy at all.  Also, this ball just ignores carrydown and I am very pleased about that.  On the lighter side of medium, the ball still clears the heads nicely, but the backend starts to be a bit strong and unpredictable.  On the heavier side of medium, the ball plays very well with a more direct line, but doesn't dig in enough to play an out and in style game on a heavier oil condition.

One thing thats very impressive about this ball is how well it retains energy and how well it transfers that energy into great pin action.  The ball really does carry well, and sends messengers every which way - it really mixes them up good.

Also, I would like to tell you that I've shot my highest sanctioned series to date with this ball ( 196, 192, 233 - 621 ), and have had several games in the 240-250 range during practice.
 
In Summary, if you're looking for a super strong mega-hook type ball - the Arsenal Agressive is not for you.  But if you're looking for smooth, predictable, easy to control and easy to make adjustments with - this is a great ball.
