I am looking to replace my nautical blue Messengeer(stacked Leverage drilling) and I want either of the two above mentioned balls. I also use a Pheno and despite the review I posted on it I love it and therefore I want to try another track ball.
Which ball would be better for playing a 6 board to 3. The conditions we use have the first 4 boards dry and and then a big increase in oil until 20th board

Just to inform you that the TT is more of a skid/flip ball vs the Messenger. If you're looking to replace the reaction of the Mess, I'd suggest something very mellow. Either drill the pin above the bridge and cg stacked underneath it(even this may be too strong) or you can keep the pin in the same place but kick cg about 2 from pap. This will help mellow it quite a bit and you may want to take the surface down so that it doesn't give you that much of a skid/flip look. Hope this info helps or feel free to contact me if you have any other questions, thanks.

Drilling label is okay also, it will give you a different look then the Messenger. If I'm correct, that Mess should be pretty stable roll throughout even picking up a little early with controlled backend. That ball was somewhat even to begin with(w/ original coverstock). The TT label drilled will still get you down the lanes on a med oil cond and turn pretty hard on the backend. Hope this info is helpful...
Charlest, why should McCracken get a prize?? sTaurinn answered 15.6..."no soup for you Ernie"...lol....sTaurinn should get it, just giving credit where it's due....or does Ernie get it because he asked a dumb question?
