Title: 715T vs 505T
Post by: vkowalski1970 on November 21, 2010, 01:30:07 PM
IF YOU HAD EACH BALL DRILLED IDENTICAL AND LEFT AT OB FINISH. HOW SIMILAR WOULD THE MOTIONS BE? HOW MUCH DIFFERENCE IN OVER ALL HOOK?

I LOVE MY 715T and 607A, but the motions are very different and I want something similar in motion to 715T but 4-5 board weaker, will the 505T be the ball

My Arsenal:
Brunswick C System 3.5
715T
607A

I took a screenshot of their youtube video.

I think in your case it might be.  

I have both drilled the same, 715t at box and 505t at 3k abralon instead of box (4k) and I have 4-6 boards difference in overall hook between the two with the same hook motion.  715T is stronger and looks the same in my opinion.  I use the 505T as my benchmark, if it won't quite turn the corner I bump to my 715T till its time to go back down.  Works very well.

I do have both with a very similar drilling.

I would say they the 715t does cover a few more boards, not a ton more and it reads the lane earlier. The 505t is not a weak ball by any standards, it tends to read the lane a little later for me.

Both balls do require oil. If the lanes are dry, both are way to strong.
