My Thoughs.
I saw the reaction out of this equation as a step up from the desert.I think it may be 2-3 boards weaker in everypart of the lane other then the backend where it may be 2-3 boards stronger then the normal equation. I then got the chance to roll it, and I notice that it went reall long even on the dry boards. It seamed to go almost as long as my xception with 4000 abralon and a coat of magic shine and delayed. Yet it snaped really hard so this is a reaction that you dont see in the current arsenal. I dont see it as a true drylane ball like the desert but it is a good lighter oil ball for anyone looking for one.

Thanks for the pics! That is one sweet looking ball.
Mark,
Thanks for the info. Has a release date been established? For those of us that have both the Desert Heat and the Equation, would this be a good addition to the arsenal?

I'm not a big Track fan, but the original Equation was a big seller around here ! The colors had lots a shelf-appeal

The Equation Squared does not really look like the balls listed there by 302. The blue that you see in the picture actually looks more purple in my opinion.

Be honest with me on this one, am I going to like this one as much as I like the Equation? You know how high I am on the Equation right now too! God Bless You and have a great week!

Rick, there is something wrong with Track if aharvey can buy Track balls cheaper than you, Carl, and other Track Staff members whereas you guys are a part of the Track organization and he isn't. I don't understand how he can be a PBA member either when he only has a composite bowling average of 191.

Sorry Unc, (just to clarify) as staff we do get one ball for personal use and can purchase additional balls at around the same price. I was speaking in the sense of retail. By the time a distributor adds in his/her mark up, it costs more then what aharvey listed. All manufacturers I think offer PBA members pretty good deals to try their products and that has been an industry standard.
Until our Govt starts imposing some sort of interstate commerce tax, internet sales are also cheaper then me because I have to pay tax on every wholesale item that comes through my shop. The only 2 items I know that have reached out to the right people in charge are tobacco and alcohol (big money). This is why we are a dying breed but I see some drastic changes within the next 5-10 years in our business if the manufacturers want to survive or maintain profit margins. I've been speaking to a few of my reps and we're always discussing the future of the industry.

They have changed the rules, you need a 200 average and must have bowled 35 games, there is no composite average needed. Sorry if you don't understand that I am a PBA member. My average has dropped after I got the card.

I think it reminds me alot of the sppex with how clean it was in the heads and mids. Yet it picked up so strong on the back, I mean if the equation had built in backend this thing has a built in backend with a NOZ switch.

Something more of an arcing ball would be a great add to the original Equation.
I wonder if they are coming out with the Equation Cubed?

NOW and in the past.
BUT of the recent releases...the one that has impressed in our area the LEAST...is the Equation...Around here for all I have seen...it has a ton of midlane...with not much backend.
I have seen a lot of nice reactions from Track balls in the last few years..
Sheer Havoc(surprisingly works around here!).
AAgressive
Arsenal Reactive
Arsenal Angular.
Heat Blast
Machine
Mean Machine
Desert HEat
Solutions (both).
Agent(oh yeah...that is just that ice cream cone core(but from storm).
Robo Rule
Arsenal Artillary
BUT the equation...sort of a DUD ...here!
REGards,

PS we lack midlane oil

I'm very high on the Equation dude! I've had two of them punched up and this ball is one that I could see me getting a few more of before they end up becoming discontinued...an excellent reaction for me with a good amount of pop on the backend...hope this helps some! God Bless You and have a great week!

As far as a ball that's been able to conquer most of what I've seen, that would be the Mean Machine for me.
