Ok as the title states these are my impressions from testing and consider it a sort of "semi review".  I have played a bit with surfaces and compared them to past Track products.  I'm not going to mess around with described layouts but if one ball was compared to another they both had the exact same layout and surface.  Also if one ball was compared to an older one the older one was brand new as well.  If you want to know specifics of layouts email at dave@bestbowlingproshops.com or pm me on here.  I'm trying to go a different route on my reviews and testing so I would love feedback.  Being a staffer it's hard not to be accused of being biased so that's why I'm trying to now test the new product up against as much as possible so hopefully there's some information for every to use.  I want to find out what it works best on and what it doesn't work on at all.  Here we go. 

 

300T - compared to the 300C on THS, Shark, Scorpion.  30 y/o wood lanes

 

Now on the THS the 300T was just a tad bit sooner even at the same surface as the 300c and to be honest with me it was a lot smoother off of the break.  Not as strong overall as I was hoping.  Once I got onto a tougher/wetter condition such as the Shark and Scorpion the 300T was pretty much useless.  Overall I think this would be a good ball as an entry level performance or for higher rev rate players that want decent length and need to control the backend.  For me this ball probably won't get much use.  It overlaps way too much with my 505T and 300C.  (I'm not saying it rolls like either one exactly just that they're too close for me to warrent carrying all 3)

 

503C - compared to a 505A on same conditions as above.

 

Ok so I'm not as lucky as the other staffers to have 505C's just laying around undrilled.    I did have a 505A new and available and it still was a nice comparison.  Now on the THS I tested them both at 2k with polish.  Both were very clean down the lane obviously with the 503C being much smoother and more rolly overall.  Only problem I had with it was when I moved in it didn't quite want to make the corner.  The 505A was obviously stronger on the back and recovered much easier.  On heavier patterns adjusting the surface was needed.  I took both pieces down to 1k abralon in order to get them to be usable and they worked out pretty well after that.  I also used the 503C on a THS sanded at 1k and used it for 7 games in league.  It didn't hit fantastic but controlled very well and kept me in the hole all night leaving very pickable spares.  This would make a nice addition for someone that needs a control ball thats also very clean down the lane.  Beginner bowlers and lower revrate players will prolly want to steer clear unless they need less than a 505A or 505T and don't want to drop to the 300 series.  Hopefully for me this ball will replace my 505T as a benchmark but I'll need to drill up a few more and test to see. 

 

919C compared to a 916AT and 920T on again...same conditions

 

I personally use the 900 series quite a bit so theere was a bit more testing with the 919C. Also we haven't really had that WOW in our higher performance line like a "mission" or even a "cell".  So far this ball holds true to its name for being "continuous".  It's extremely usefull so far on all 3 patterns tested and seems to perform better more often than the 920T and 916AT did.  It's strong but usefull.  Let me elaborate.  I've had several 920T's drilled up in the past year because I don't like to switch balls much during competition and the 920T was extremely controllable and usuable pretty much all night no matter the condition.  Now I say usable but it wasn't anything WOW like...."man that ball hits hard".  It pretty much just got me there.   The 916AT wasn't bad early in the first game or so of league but after that it didn't seem to want to recover if I moved in or it would want to hook too early in the dry.  So far in the last two weeks or so of testing I haven't found a shot that the 919C doesn't keep moving on.  It worked well on the THS, Scorpion, Shark, AND I even tried it out a bit on cheetah and it didn't want to burn up.  Sorry this is the one ball I'm probably going to sound biased on but I feel that we finally have the HP ball that we've needed for the past few years.  I saw how the public was with the Cell and the Mission series and I personally experienced how easy they both were to drill for different styles.  This is going to be the same thing.  If you want something that keeps moving or something that works well on most conditions this is going to be it.  I'm going to do more testing because from now on I'm going to bowl with the new stuff untill I find out what it DOESN'T work on but with this ball...I haven't found it yet.
