I currently have four Track balls and one spare ball. I am thinking about rounding out my arsenal with a fifth Track ball, to an even six total. Below are my specs along with the layouts of my current arsenal. I would be interested to hear suggestions about what I should consider adding to my arsenal. I have upper low to medium revs so I am thinking that I probably should add something to the aggressive side of my arsenal. What do you think?

Ball speed: 16-17 mph
PAP: 4 3/8" over 1 3/4" up
Axis tilt: 10 degrees
Revs: Upper low to medium (never measured them)
Classification: Slightly speed dominant

All balls are 15 lbs.

Rule Delta 1:
- Pin to PAP = 3 1/2" (pin above ring finger)
- MB to PAP = 5"

Arsenal Reactive:
- Pin to PAP = 4" (pin above bridge)
- MB to PAP = 4"
- CG near PAP

Xception:
- Pin to PAP = 4" (pin above right side of middle finger)
- MB to PAP = 3 1/2"

Desert Heat:
- pin above right side of ring finger
- CG is almost stacked, slightly right, if I remember correctly.
- More aggresive drilling. Goes long and backends really well.
- Do not remember exact layout and I do not have the ball with me. I will update this post with the information when I have it.

All suggestions are very much appreciated.

Thanks

Well....3 things lead me to one suggestion....

1. You are speed dominant
2. You have low to medium revs
3. You do not have a particle ball in your arsenal

I would have to say somthing like a GP2 or Robo Rule would fit the bill. You really have everything else covered in my mind other than a true benchmark ball, but with the Reactive and Xception, I think you have a more glaring hole for a particle than a bench.

Thanks for the suggestion Clint.

What type of reaction difference can I expect between the Delta and Robo Rule? Would the Robo Rule be more aggressive in the heads? I tend to like a decent backend reaction. Will a particle ball use too much energy in the front part of the lane?

Thanks

With your stats, if you get on a flood, I can see where a reactive ball will never recover enough for you. The particle willhelp bite in the oil and roll up to the pocket where the reactive will skid-skid-snap...but its too late. Particles will burn in the heads when there is not enough oil, but you shouldn't be throwing the ball at that point, you should be throwing something else in your arsenal. Particles do not have the big backend of a resin, but, in oil, the can make a decent move.

A ball that REALLY fits in my opinion would be a Robo Rule. It is a LIGHT load particle, being there is some, but not very much, just enough to help the ball bite earlier....and it has enough backend for your liking. I threw some Delayed Reaction on mine (just a tisker) and it rolls and hits AWESOME....it and the Arsenal Reactive are becoming my favorites really quick! They offer a great combo and compliment each other very well!

cd,

I too would suggest the Robo Rule. It would definately be a ball that I would only use on the heavier stuff. The difference between it and the Delta would be most notable in the heads and midlane. The Robo is sooner rolling than the Delta 1. The Delta will have a tad more backend...but suprisingly not much.

Goodluck,
Carl
