715A and 930T
« on: July 06, 2009, 01:29:52 AM »
I am not ready to post reviews yet of these balls, but I wanted to post a few comments.

715A: The backend motion of this ball is simply amazing. When it encounters friction it just flies. I threw it with the 4000abralon +polish OOB finish. After a few games I took it in and put 2000 and factory finish.....which just made the overall peformance of this ball stand out! At 4000 it just went too long, with the 2000 it picked up a bit more in the pattern but still kept the angularity in the backend. I compared this ball with an identically laid out Kinetic and the length (with 2000+polish) was very simliar but the breakpoint was a good 2-4 boards stronger than the Kinetic's.

930T: The overall ball motion of the 930T is something that I have never seen out of a bowling ball- Track or any other brand. Even with the 4000abralon finish it read the lane pretty well but that did not translate into roll out or a weak movement into the pocket. I wanted to really see what the 930T could do, so I took the surface to 1000abralon and the overall ball motion was the same. Naturally it read the lane earlier, but there was no laziness in the backend.

I will post more at a later date, once I get some more use out of the balls. So far though this looks to be an awesome season with the new lineup.

I also have a 930T at 1000 and have found exactly the same.  The ball does read earlier, but there is no loss of pop at the bottom of the pattern.

As for the 715A, I've got one at box which has been great for me later in a block.  I also have one that has had surface changed from box to 2000 to 1000 and polish.  I wanted to see how it reacted to surface changes and I'm very happy to say that it accepted those changes very well.  I'm enjoying the 1000 and Magic Shine as a nice benchmark piece.

The overall versatility of the covers on the new pieces is simply amazing.  All balls take changes very well.  The 930T also polishes up nicely.

Same thing I am seeing Carl. With my 715A, I switched to it in frame 5 of a doubles league in game 3 (two games on one pair, switch and two more) and ran the next 20 right out of the box. I did hit it with light 2000 pad knowing that 4000 with polish is bad for me. I wish the first pair hooked a touch more. Used the 930T on that pair and shot 500 for the two.

What I like about all three balls is the motions are all distinctly different.

I just recieved my 505c and on the box is says reactive, so I am assuming that it is a solid, but in some post it is listed as a reactive pearl. Which one is it? Also does the ball motion (715/930)have any similarity with the kinetic energy or the uprising?

The ball motions of the 715A or 930T are not similar to anything we had last year IMO and I drilled a lot of them. The 715A is super clean up front, reads the late mids and goes left. I knocked the polish off lightly to smooth it out just a touch. For an angular ball, after 8 games, no ring 10 yet and averging 250 with it including a 300.
The 930T is hard for me to explain. It seems to read the mids like a Rising but have the continuation of the SE, at least from the one I drilled. I just punched a second identical to an Uprising and will see how it rolls tonight.

I have to agree with Carl on the 715A.  When the ball gets to the friction, it's going and nothing is gonna stop it!  I also agree with Carl on the length of the ball.  I have drilled two.  One is staying at box.  This is my ball for the burn time when I need to get in deep, late and get the ball up the lane and around the corner pretty quickly.

My second 715A was dropped to 2000 and Magic Shine.  I'll be honest when I say that I wasn't overly happy with this particular 715A oob.  I experienced some over/under on higher friction patterns.  I knew I could get what I wanted from it, but it would require a minor change.  I went to 4000 and no shine first.  This got me closer, but still not quite what I was looking for.  The next step was 2k and polish.  At this point, I got exactly what I expected in length and plenty of bang on the back.

If you want easy length and authority on the backend, give the 715A a look.
