Title: A Ball Everyone Needs To Have
Post by: Sactown863 on February 07, 2006, 10:36:16 AM

I would like to get some feed back from the Track Revolution about the Arsenal Reactive.  I happen too think that this ball is one of those very special balls that everyone needs in their bag, may be even 2 or 3 of them.

I have to agree.  I have one that is 16 pounds and I am moving down to 15 and will probably punch up another since this ball has been money for me.  My brother has one as well and over the last 4 weeks he is averaging over 230 with it.

i have one http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=11/30723550493.jpg&s=x11 the ball is powerfull...gets through the heads, awsome midlane, and a strong backend...sometimes too strong and leaves some 8pins but thats to be expected...it cant be beat on the heavier side of medium oil

Okay, I'm going to agree AND disagree with your post Sactown. I would say that IF you are ONLY throwing Track equipment, the AR is a ball that should be in your bag (GREAT ball for sure). However, 2 or 3 of them? Come on!

I had 2 of them at one point, one drilled pin right of ring with cg kicked (heck of a ball) and one with pin over bridge, cg center of span (turd!). I dulled them both, I threw the both OOB, and I polished them both at different points... I found that this coverstock is simply not THAT versatile. Polish or not, it tends to lose lots of energy if there's not a good amount of head oil on the lane.

The ball carries most every pocket hit with ease... until the head oil goes, then she starts leaving single pins and splits.

Overall I loved this ball, but I found it to be pretty "condition specific". So, to sum it up (LOL!), I would say that all the "Trackies" need to have this ball... But one will probably do.

I feel the AR is a great ball.  I have two of them but will be trading one in this week.  The one i'm keeping has magic shine polish on it.  I like this ball better polished.  The one i'm keeping is drilled with the pin above and in between the bridge.  The cg kicked right to 1oz and no balance hole.  This ball gets thru the heads clean as long as there's oil and has a nice flip on the back end.  This is an awesome ball.  Track hit home runs with there arsenal series.

The more I use my AR, the more I like it. I have mine polished quite well with Magic Shine. I really didn't care for the OOB surface, but for me, the Magic Shine brought it to life. I drilled it very similar to my Arsenal Angular.

Here's a link to pics of some of my Track equipment:

I agree. The Arsenal Reactive is an awesome ball. I have mentioned it here before...when it hits the pins it is a very distinctive sound....and it is consistant in that sound. The AR hits extremely hard.

I don't know what else a bowler can really ask for....but it has a very versatile coverstock.

A "must" have
