This is the first Track ball I have thrown since I bought the Phenom Unleased last November. I was unsure of what to expect since I am the only person in the house with this ball now and my only other impression came from watching Walter Ray playing around the 1 board during the Uniroyal Open.
I didn't buy another Track ball because ultimately I felt the Phenom Unleashed was a bit overhyped...didn't care much for it in the long run, but I decided to give it another shot because I liked what I read about the Morpheus Rev Lever core and the coverstock.
I don't know much about drillings but I will try and describe it best as I can, 15 lbs, 3oz top weight, 3 inch pin. Had the pin placed in the below the bridge so when my hand is in the ball it is touching the upper palm beneath the ring and middle finger. Mass bias is about an inch below the thumb, and the CG is about an inch or so to the upper right of the thumb. Not sure if this makes sense, it's first time I've ever used this drilling for a pearlized resin ball.
In my house I play straight up the 10 board with high revs and medium to high ball speed depending on the way the lanes are playing. Lane conditions are medium oil from 5 to 5, and some oil from 5 to the gutter, very light in that area. Length is about 40-42 feet or so I would estimate. Backends are stripped, but they are not flying backends.
Anyhow drilled it up this afternoon and used it in league tonight. Went 245-236-226 for a 707 series right out of the box. I was very impressed with the midlane reaction because the ball noticeably revs up quickly then begins to make a strong move to the pocket. It reads the medium oil pattern very well. The backend is very impressive as it just turns and drives through the rack very well.
I am very impressed with this ball and I will definitely buy another Track ball after using this. Props to Track for the coverstock and the core.
