Colors looks like the Machine coverstock. Be nice if it's a definite US release.

Yeah, will need confirmation from rep''s/staff since they will have the opportunity to shed some light on product availability (provided they can).

It appears much darker than the Machine.  The Machine was a lighter green, almost teal with a purple.  This is just black and green, much like the NBPP from Visonary...

Track is releasing too much angular stuff, everything in their lineup other then the 930 is angular off the spot. I want to see something like the 715c with a polished solid.

Joe,

I drilled a 715a with a 5 1/2 x 60 degree layout (pin under middle for me, very small weighthole in thumb quadrant) and this ball is anything BUT angular...if you're looking to tame down the angularity, I would highly suggest going with something similar.

I was also hoping for another control ball in the 7 series but patience is a virtue. BTW here's another pic of the 920A

With the correct layouts and surface changes, you can tame any of the balls we have down on the backend. Give early rolling layouts with more surface a try. This really tames things down.

I have drilled and tested sevaral 920A's. I have it longer and stronger than the 930T on most lane conditions. I love the 930T on the fresh but have to go away from it as the lanes breakdown because of the early hook and smoothness of the motion. The 920A allows me to step more left when the lanes breakdown and create more angle through the pins.

 I really like the motion and think it will be a great addition to the arsenal.

Mitch, how does the 920A compare to the SE (OOB with identical drills) for medium heavy oil????  THX

920A is not as early or as smooth as the SE. It will flare later because of the high rg and will flare less because the mass is much weaker. I think the 920A will handle as much oil but will be more angular and maybe harder to control on a really tough shot until they breakdown.
