Review: Xception 5.0
« on: July 14, 2005, 04:15:13 AM »
Pap – 5 over ¾ up, rotation 45 degrees, speed 14-15, weight 14lbs
Layout 4 7/8 x 4mb on val, 1 5/8 above mid line

Testing conditions: various…tried this in 4 different houses in out of box condition

Readability and Hook:  On the over under shots, I actually had to stand pretty far left on the approach to start because of it’s strength off the free hook.   It pushed easily downlane and had a very hard turn on the backend.

In the out of box finish, I had better success on a med/med condition, just shy of heavy.  This is where the ball showed it’s true strength.  It read the midlane very nicely and had a very strong backend reaction.  It opened up the backend tremendously offering a ton of room for recovery.

Control:  This ball responds very strong once it encounters friction.  It had a much better look and offered more of a strong arc on the medium conditions.

Hit:  Once making its turn, this ball offers very good hit and carry.  

Overall: This is another great addition to the Track family in the medium oil range that helps the bowler get good length and a strong backend reaction.  This ball sits about 3-4 boards less than the Aggressive and about 4-5 more than the Xception.  For the bowler who likes to attack the shot from a deeper line and wants good recovery, this is your ball.

Rick,

Nice review bud! Did it allow you to open up a shot as easily as the Xception or Arsenal Angular?

Yes it does!  Even better on the medium conditions where some stronger balls tend to burn a little or when the heads start to go, the 5.0 still clears easily and offers a ton of recovery on the backend.

I just drilled 3 more recently where the customers are very happy and amazed at the backend strength for a particle ball.
