Just wanted to give props to Track for making amazing equipment. Just logged my personal best averages over the summer exclusively using Track equipment.

225 on my PBA Experience League
242 on my Youth/Adult League

My bag consisted of:
505T
916AT
920A
920T
Track Spare

Yeah, that is old stuff.  More than 6 months is considered old.  I guess you would call the Arsenal Artillery older and the Triton Heat ancient. 

Never thought that a ball that isn't in their current line up is considered old.  Of course everyone has their own views on that.  Would be nice not to have to worry about the latest and greatest new stuff.  Weren't the ones that are considered 'old' by some used to be the latest and greatest?  I remember when a ball company used to come out with a maximum 3 balls in a 365 day period.  The good old days. 

Since, none of the strike balls Mr Perfect listed are presently in the Track line-up....I'd consider them old.

@ Track_ Fanatic: Yeah, admittedly I had the same problem, the last Track ball I absolutely loved was the GP2. Wasn't a big fan of the original stuff Track came out with when Ebonite first purchased them. As well, I was very wary of Ebonite equipment considering my personal horror story with the Gamebreaker, but I must say the stuff they are making now is pretty amazing.

I won't say every ball is a must buy, I think the 706A and 300A are just average balls that fit in any arsenal, but nothing special...but of the new stuff the 503T and the 912T are just special balls.

@ Everyone else: As far as old balls, I mainly used the 920A and 920T as a 1-2 combo all summer long. I actually un-loaded the 916AT and 505T to a couple of kids who made their high school bowling teams about 2 weeks ago.

I typically prefer to wait for stuff to get discontinued and buy equipment I know is proven, but I am probably going to be making an exception for the 503T, 912T, and Violent Eruption.
