I recently bought a couple of track balls, and I am greatly impressed by the hook on the Assassin. I haven't had the chance to try the Money yet, but I hear it is almost as good as the Assassin. What would all of you say is the best discontinued Track ball?

recently the Hexplosion..... of all time the Original Critical Mass followed closely by the T-shark
--------------------
Did they run the oil machine? Was there any oil in it.....

HAVOC hands down!

I've thrown 24 Track balls over the years and in my opinion the best ball they have ever put out is the Freak, with the Synergy Pearl a close second. I've never thrown the Assassin, though, so I missed out on that ball.
-
ok I would have to say for;
Partical: Animal
Reactive: Havoc
Overall: Animal
Hands down these two balls improved my ave 30 pins and they still hold a steady place in my arsenal. Look at my profile and you will see.

My favorite was the Code Red SE, followed by The Rule, and the Crunch Time!

Triton Elite..
By far the best ball I've ever owned..
I still have one, although it's not in competiiton condition it still performs which is why I'll never get rid of it. It holds a place of honor next to my Ebonite Power core Thunderbolt.

I actually liked the "slime green" Nuke. Shot my highest series ever with it. 2nd place would be the Triton Elite.
-
WOW...the list is so long.
I really liked:
The Animal
The Mutant
Voo Doo
Assassin
There. I could only narrow it down to 4.

The 2 balls that worked great for me and i
had superb success with were the THREAT and
the EZ MONEY. These 2 balls put me over the
200 avg. mark and sice then i have been using
TRACK.

Going to go with the Animal and Havoc myself. The Havoc comes with me every league and tournament session and has bailed me out quite a few times when other equipment becomes to erratic- and both balls work very well on a variety of tougher sport shot conditions.

I liked the original Elite.
About the time when the Contender came out...I didn't like many of the Track balls.
I switched to Ebonire, then Storm, and now back to Track.
I like the Havoc, Animal, and the Delta 1.
The Phenom Unleashed...was a good ball, but was to strong for the conditions I bowled on at the time.

TKO with mika. I wish they would bring that core, the silencer, tko, and thrash back. I thought that core was awesome.

I believe you have not seen this on the list much because those of us with the Solution PP know we have the Elite.......the Solution PP is yet another ball that is not in nearly enough bags right now.

I would have to agree with DJ on the TKO. That is the only Track ball I still have. My wife will not allow me to get rid of that ball since she bought it for me shortly after we started dating.

Sixcranker is my new best friend
My list consists of, in no particular order
Synergy ETS

Triton Elite Pearl
Heat (original, although the remake is a monster)

I used Track a while back. Used 4 of them. Freak, Freak-Out, Hex-Plosion, and Synergy Pearl.
Out of those 4 my 2 favorites were:
Track Synergy then Track Freak.
God I would give anything for a NIB 15# Synergy Pearl. If i was good with it back in my YABA days, just imagine it in my hands today! To bad they had a cover stock problem that caused the shell to shrink up a little to form one heck of a crack around the entire ball. I tried to buy a few others off ebay, they cracked while being replugged. Shame to see such a great ball die of such a shamefull problem.

Hex and Freak-Out. The Freak Out revolutionized the way I view particle pearl bowling balls. Truly a ball ahead of its time.

black enforcer-late 80's early 90's urethane, made the other companies pay attention to track
crunch time- fine all around ball both my kids have em (1 was mine)
Freak- nothing like a new freak to suck oil for about 60 games till it croaks

I have never thrown a solution pp but that core is proven. I'm sure this is an awesome ball. I just wish they would have used a different logo. The solution is ugly on the ball. If it was white color it would look a lot better.
-
Anything with the Elite core:
Reactives
Elites: Solid & Pearl
Stomp Pearl
Particle
TKO Contender

Code Red SE (love that ball)
original Triton
-
TKO not the contender. It had the elite core but with an added flip cap to increase the diff. Had mine not cracked I still would have it in the bag. It had only 1/2 of one letter left on it that was readable from so much use.
-
Triton Elite Pearl is the best so far, shot my first 7oo with it. Just got myself the Angular & Aggressive both looking good but still both new so only a few games on them yet.
