As long as the bowlers pay enough attention, the naming system will have no problem...yes, the 505C and the 505A are obviously very close to each other name-wise, but fortunately, they look NOTHING alike and i'm sure they'll react differently as well.

After throwing the 930T for awhile now, it's definitely a reaction that I was sorely missing in my bag (fortunately it doesn't stay in my bag very long, but that's another story...lol), it VERY much mirrors the reaction of another company's hybrid ball that i've had a TON of success with, just handling a LOT more oil.

I'm very much looking forward to the 505A, as I have a THS league that is apparently allergic to oil, and this should give me a pretty solid reaction that I can still get in with when the "smelly" hybrid is too much...

Obviously I'm not anticipating this being a ball for the super-burn, but if it clears the heads nicely, and makes the corner, that'll be good enough for me!

Hmm...polished 2000 abr shell...shuttle core....sounds like the original Kinetic with a new name to me.


Moreso the Kinetic Pearl for me, just without the super low RG (2.46) that was in the KP.  

My guess would be that if a 505T comes out, it would mirror the Kinetic Energy.  That would be great, as the older one I have is starting to see its end.

You may be the better bowler, but my car would blow the doors off of yours.

In response to all of the confusion regarding the number naming system...I have quite a number of customers that come into the shop all the time and when they see the numbers on the bowling balls, they know right off hand that it is a Track ball. The advantage to the numbering system is that most customers off the bat know which brand of ball they are looking into. For my new customers, more often than not understand the science behind a bowling ball when I go into explaining the number system in reference to the performance in each of the bowling balls. I think this is a great idea on Track's behalf and I can also see how and where some people would get confused with this concept. God Bless!
