Track 300c replacement
« on: March 01, 2015, 11:39:20 AM »
 Looking to replace my 300C pearl this has my go to ball for several years as the lanes break down.  What ball would be a good fit to replace?

I think Track no longer makes any balls as weak as the 300C pearl was. To find a ball reaction like it, you'd need to go to another brand.

One you might consider is the Brunswick LT-48 vintage ball. Even though it's a solid, it is highly polished and both cover and core are on the weaker side of medium.

Another potential candidate is the Columbia Deep Freeze.

1. like mentioned above - deep freeze
2. Eruption Pro hybrid
3. Hammer arson Low flare

i had the 300c - was a great piece and i have #2 and & #3
#3 has the cleaner cover of the two from the factory, the low flare-you would have to tweak the cover

Thanks for the responses, while it is not a strong ball it works well for me with my 15.5-16 ball speed and strong forward roll.

Deep Freeze all day long.  I have one and it could be the best entry level ball out there.  Even for a polished ball, the Deep Freeze is smooth and predictable.  Mine is drilled 40 by 5 by 30 with a weight hole at P4.  Even with my 500 rev rate; I am able to square up my angles and only move a few boards on our THS over the course of league night.  I usually start with my left foot around 25 and play 13 out to 10 on the fresh.  By third game; I am usually around 28 with my left foot playing around 17 out to 12 breakpoint.  Ball gets down the lane clean and just has enough on the backend to kick the corners.  Think I have only left two 9 pins over the last 24 games while averaging 249.  Extremely impressed with this ball.

The Original 300C was great. When it comes to what can replace it, spot on. You wont really find one. The closest thing might be the Deep Freeze. Not much from EBI with that low of a Diff and that weak of a cover.
