Hex Darkside
« on: July 04, 2006, 03:17:06 AM »
Anybody here know what new ball by Track would be similar to this one? Looking to replace it, as it is done with resurfacing. This ball wasn't really a mainstream ball, I think it was an overseas one...the Track booth at Corpus Christi never heard of it. Please help if you can.

That is because the people at that booth are retarded.  It was not an overseas release, either.  It was a batch of balls that Track did not intentionally release.  They did not like the way the ball came out and actually went to trash them.  But someone got a hold of them and they actually became popular even though Track did not make anymore.  Almost the same thing happened with the Red/Orange Slash.  The guys at Track were not thrilled at the results of the R/O Slash so they only made so many of them.  But the balls got out and were available at some pro shops if you could find them.

I think the closest thing Track has out now would be the Heat Blast.

They Track Guru's hopefully will chime in..

Hope this helps!

Sweetfeet,

It goes very inexpensive now.



DrBob,

I had 3, actually maybe 4 Darksides....I really liked it. I do not believe that anything in the current line is going to be close to it. MAYBE the Equation....atleast it will probably the closest.

Hey DrBob,

The ball was intended for international and domestic release but due to production problems after the first batch (or two), the project was terminated.  The guys at Nats are not Track experts, they are an independent company who buy from the manufacturers and resale the items there.

The closest ball I can picture right now would be the Solution EX (a little weaker) or the Equation as EXCALIBER states.  Achappy helped me get mine and I liked it a lot.
