I have had some experience with this ball, and because of that, am getting my own. I just got back from a 2 week vacation without my bowling equipment. I went to my shop to get a few other balls drilled, and bowled a couple of games with the guy before we layed anything out. The lanes were pretty much fried, I was throwing a Hot Rod up 25 with some bad over-under roll-out reactions that were not carrying, my pro-shop operator what throwing his Triple Threat from about 25 out to 8 and it was making a real nice turn with great carry, a way better reaction then my dry lane Hot Rod. The ball has a 1" pin with the pin 1" under the ring finger (RH) and the CG just about on the center line kinda in the palm area. I threw a few shots with it, and it did even better for me, great length, and a strong, but not violent, move to the pins. It seemed to go longer then my Hot Rod, and with a more consistent move. I can't wait till mine comes in.

Triple Threat Review:

This Polished Particle WOW 2 columbia based particle is a straight forward polished particle with a proven triton heat core. I drilled my Triple Threat with the pin out above the fingers 4 1/2 from my PAP and swung the cg/mass bias out at a 60 degrees or #2-3 position.

On oil the ball reads it real well with no hook early with this ball. Clears the fronts real well. If you encounter carry down or do not have alot of hand it needs to go back in the bag. Dry outsides or backends will produce a strong sweeping arc/snap reaction with plenty of hit.

Sanding the ball makes it hook earlier with a smoother but still strong backend.

I would recommend this ball definately for someone with some hand into the ball. Strokers or tweeners will need dry for this ball to work. Expect a polished reactive type reaction with a smoother backend and you have the Triple Threat.

Thanks for reading my review.

I've been throwing a Mutant with matted finish in a heavy oil league and was looking for a ball to switch to after my first two moves left. When the lanes start breaking down, they tend to change surprisingly fast. The Triple Threat's pearl coverstock seems like the perfect complement, and its light particle load lets me stay left in the head oil. It is drilled 5x5 to moderate any flip the core might generate coming off the oil, and produces a very predictable hard arc. Before this ball I was switching to an aggressive reactive coverstock (read: flippy) and got myself into trouble more often than not. The Triple Threat performs *exactly* as advertised and is a beautiful fit between the Mutant and a straight reactive. What remains to be seen is its longevity. My Mutant has 100-200 games on it and, well, I'm still using it. My previous experience with shiny particle balls hasn't been that good.

Ball specs; 16 lb 4 inch pin

Drill specs: 3 3/8 x 3 3/8 with balance hole 5 inches across from my centre of grip. 1/2 positive side, 1/8 fingers.(excellent drilling from Ausleftie)

Have had mine for about a month now.  When playing it on my THS which has alot more oil then you are used to in the states it outhooks my phenom by a bunch , I have to be around 24 with the inside of my left foot and play it to around fourth board around thirty feets to get it to carry.
Lately I hve been having problems in carry so I moved extra five borads and increased axis tilt and there I found a whole new carry.  
After having it for this time and playing with it I think I need to resurface and polish again.
Before i got this ball my high game was 268, but now I have 278, 279 and last night i did a 290, also in a seven game block managed to shoot 1551 with it.  Just love it

Track Triple Threat
Weight: 15#
Pin Placement: 2-3"
Top Weight: N/A

Layout:
3 1/2" Pin Above the Ring Finger. CG Stable. No Weight Hole.
Picture: http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=3960786

Oil Pattern:
AMF Synthetics, oiled to 38' and buffed to 45'.
Although, the oil on the low end of the house seems to have more hold. The far end of the house seem like the outsides are dryer and/or the oil pattern is shorter.

First Impressions:
This ball is smoother than my Heat Blast. When I first threw it comparing my Desert Heat, the DH gave me a sharper reaction at the breakpoint than the TT.

General Thoughts:
When I found out this ball had the WOW2 cover, I really thought I wasn't going to like it. Particle covers have always given me trouble reaction wise. I first noticed how smooth it rolled into the pocket and was very surprised when my Desert Heat was snapping quicker off the breakpoint. The positive here is I have nothing that reacts like the Triple Threat in the bag. It is very controllable and keeps the pins low.

Conclusion:
Very smooth and for a player like myself (between tweener and power tweener), with this layout I can play straighter angles than what the lanes and the oil pattern usually dictates to me. I feel this ball will burn up for crankers that lay the ball out like mine is. This ball gives decent ball reaction and if you are struggling to find a medium to medium light oil ball, try finding a Triple Threat!
