Track Legion - good benchmark ball
« on: August 05, 2015, 08:15:03 PM »
The Track Legion is a very good benchmark ball. I would highly recommend this ball for the league season and for medium sport patterns. The coverstock is the same as the Track MX10 – but with a different core. My experience with the MX10 was that I could use it well in its polished condition and could expect a skip-flid type motion that worked well for me after the lanes had transitioned.

My Legion is drilled with the pin down below the middle finger; the CG is 3” from the pin and lands just right of my thumb. The MB is about 1 ½” below the right corner of my thumb hole, and a weight hole is used around P2. With the out of box surface, I found I was using this ball similar to my MX10 with the ball rolling a bit sooner in the mid-lane and a more continuous motion in the back end. However, when I took the polish off and applied a 2000-grit, I found a more pleasing motion in oil where I could expect a predictable move both through the mid-lane and through the pins. The predictability of the roll without the polish has made this a good benchmark ball on league night to read the lane.

If you are looking for a medium strength ball with a predictable back end and plenty of punch, get yourself a Track Legion in time for the fall season.
