I found one of these in a garage sale. Looks to be low games. Thumb was double slugged to adjust span once, but other than that, the ball is flawless.

Anybody that has/have/are used/using one of these, I would appreciate any feedback or experience as to what I can expect from this piece.

P.S. I only gave $1.50 for it, so I don't think I could go wrong unless it is a complete piece of DOODOO.

one of tracks first reactive balls, late 80s early 90s i believe. was a good ball, i used it exclusively back then along with Nu-Line Xcaliber. not sure how it would fair on todays conditions, but a good find! i wish i could get my hands on one of those and a Xcaliber!

Well, I've got the T-SHARK where I can throw it. Got leagues tonight, so I will post my success/failure after I find out just what she's gonna do.

Thanks for the input gunny, guess your the only one who's thrown one of these.

There was some discussion about the ball a few weeks ago. And don't forget...that ball came out before some of the current posters were even alive, at least in a bowling sense.

I've made requests from time to time seeking one in the 14-15lb range but have never had any success...

Well, what a night.

I am now the proud owner of the go straighten'est ball I have seen thrown in quite a while.

This ball would be a good one for really drier conditions, but on our medium house shot, it only hooked a board or two and that was when I made it hook.

It is in factory finish, but hasn't been thrown for several years. I think I'll adjust the cover a bit before I give up on it, but it really looks like a piece for drier conditions.

Yup, make sure to get the surface refreshed, even if it is OOB and in virgin condition. Had some squirty issued with my NIB Renegade (it waited 7 years to be punched up), and just after some sanding and re-polish the ball came to life, and gained much control.
