I realize the coverstocks are different, but they are used for the same condition. How similar are these balls. My contention is the Machine would roll up sooner than THE ONE, is this true??? I currently throw THE ONE and love it, but I am interested in trying out some Track stuff. Thanks

While I obviously have not thrown both, and combined with me only drilling up one "The One" this year and no Big Ones....I can only give you a small comparison. The guy who drilled the One has a friend who has a Machine....when they were bowling together, the Machine seemed cleaner through the fronts and stronger on the back. The gentleman throwing the One was a higher rev player, and both balls were drilled similar (mass bias was closer to the PA on the Machine than the other's The One) and both had factory surface. Not sure how many games were on each.

So from what you saw the Machine was cleaner through the fronts and had a stronger backend??? WOW

Exactly what I saw when they bowled together.....

I personally don't think the Machine is a good comparison to the one. The ball that I feel gives similiar reaction to the one in the Track line is the Arsenal Artillery.

I have drilled several "the ones" and the machine is strong in the midlane with pretty similiar backend reaction to the one.

In box condition, the Machines I've seen appear to rev up harder in the midlane compared to The Ones that I've seen. The backend reaction seems to be quite comparable.

I've highly polished my Machine with 3M Finesse-It II; it's not as strong in the midlane and not as strong on fresh as it was in box finish. It gets a lot more length (sometimes skids past the breakpoint) and it's more angular. I think my polished Machine compares pretty well to The One. The Machine in box condition would probably be close to The Big One (although I've only seen one person use The Big One).

Hope this helps!

Hey boom,

The Machine will roll sooner and have close to the backend reaction of the One (both OOB and hypothetically drilled the same). I punched about 5 or 6 One's and all but one had to come back for surface adjustments, just too much length and too touchy at 4000 and polish. I'd say to place the mass bias on the Machine just a tad closer to pap then what your One is at and it will give you a decent separation between the two. Hope this helps some...
