We have never seen anything like this...
« on: July 01, 2009, 06:02:29 AM »
I drilled up my first 930T this past Friday.  I opted to go 4x3x3.  The reaction shape of this piece is something that we haven't seen.  The ball picks up and reads the mids very well.  The shocker is at the bottom of the pattern...the ball flies off the spot.  The fact that there is no loss of energy with this cover is remarkable.  I suspect that this ball will out hook and out hit anything we'll see this year.  Those who bought Cells and Virtuals will forget that they ever owned them.  This very well could be the Ball Of The Year.

To the gang at the factory...I honestly think we've done it.  This is a grand slam piece.

Myself and other Staffers will be reporting back very soon with detailed reviews of the 930T.

It better be a grand slam piece.  

Of the 4 companies coming out of Hopkinsville, Track is the one that I see the least of in this area.  

If it wasn't for someone being on staff locally, they'd be very scarce.

I love my Rising SE. It is the best ball I have ever thrown for many reasons.

How do the two compare?

Well, with the SE being pearl and the 930T being particle you should expect(with same layout and surface) the 930 to grab more throughout the entire lane with a smoother path to the pocket whereas the SE should be a bit more angular.  

I've seen the 930T in action, but I highly doubt I'll test one.  I do not have a slot for it in my arsenal.

Ex pretty much hit it on the head.  It's a little more rounded reaction compared to the SE.  The SE had much easier length.  The 930 still packs one heck of a pop at the bottom of the battern though...much stronger than I anticipated with this cover.

BK or someone else that has thrown a 930T - Will the 930T handle more oil than the SE with the surface & drill being the same?????  Is it in the GP2/Robo/Delta class????

Weaser....it will definitely handle more than the SE.
Would I class it in the GP2, Robo, Delta Catagory....no.  This ball is in a class by itself.  For me, it's a reaction shape that I have not seen in any of our San Antonio or Hopkinsville pieces.  This is a new beast...and I do mean beast!  I've gone as far down as 1000 with it on a fairly heavy volume 50' pattern and tested it against a GP2 that I had sitting in the closet with 4 games on it.  Again...this ball stands alone.  The cover seems to be pretty friendly to adjustment.  I'll be drilling a second 930T tomorrow and it will start with a little shine.  I will report back on how the ball accepts and reacts with polish.

What surface is OOB on the 930T?????  If the reaction is unique to Track, what competitor's ball(s) would it most likely compare to?????  I am assuming that 1000A is the most advantageous for heavy oil????

The 930T is crazy.  It out hooks the Virtual from storm by a mile.  As for not seeing Track in your area, blame your pro shop operator for not carrying some of the best balls on the market.

Once you go Track, you won't go back. (haha, that is lame) The 715 is definitely longer than the UpRising, but the 930T is stronger end to end.  I love my SE, and its hook potential doesn't compare to the 930.  

Don't let pro shop guys sell you another ball, my suggestion is to go ask for it. If you like hook, if you bowl on oil, get the 930T.

Ill believe this when I see it.  And if it is true, who needs a ball that strong?  Most people don't see enough oil for their virtuals let alone something that outhooks it by a "mile"

Did ebonite international tell all their staff members to say how much more each of their new releases hooks more than storms or roto grips cause that's all I'm seeing.  I'm sure this will be a great ball but is all the Bs marketing hype really needed?

Also did these staff members actually throw the balls compared to a virtual?  If they did, isint that a breach of their staff contract?

Sorry I'm done ranting now


To answer your question about if we have thrown a VG next to the 930T. No, however some of the staffers like myself were signed on for this coming year. Last year I threw a few VGs that belonged to others, with multiple layouts. The one VG I had the same layout as I have on my now 930T. The VG was for me able to be played ball at 24 at the arrows out to 7 and back. The 930T I have drilled on the same shot can only hold the pocket if I gutter cap it to land and cross the arrows at 35 and out to 5. If I miss in it runs and hits left of head pin. If I get it out I leave a stone 9 pin because it comes in with way to much angle.

The ball is strong, however you need alot of oil to see it really perform. It is not going to be the normal league night ball for most guys. However the player who has their speed way higher then there rev rate calls for, he will get alot of use from this ball.
