I currently have all Storm balls and am wanting to go with something different. Have thought about Brunswick or anything really. What would be a good arsenal for Track? My speed is 16 - 16.5, rev rate 345 and hardly no axis tilt.
-
Really depends to the type of ball and ball reaction you're looking for? Are you missing a gap in your current arsenal or to replace a ball with similar reaction?

The 5 and 7 series balls are awesome. But there are better balls out there for the money of the 9 series!!

So you are saying that the 9 series are not that good? As far as holes with my current arsenal I am not really sure. I have an Invasion, Virtual Energy and Reign. The Invasion is hit or miss for me, I think that my VE needs the oil extracted from it and also is a little skid/snappy. And the Reign for me hasn't worked well for me with carrydown.
Also for the longest time I just used Hammer and Storm and need to try different products. I bowl on all sorts of patterns also.
-
The 9 series isn't bad, but it honestly gave me what I could get with cheaper equipment. Most conditions I bowl on doesn't have enough oil for the Invasion. Do you have polish on the Virtual Energy? The only issue I have with the Reign is that it can sometimes be stone-9 happy.

I need to drill my 930T up to see what the reaction is to confirm or disagree with your statement. What balls in the price range provide the same performance? I purchased the 930T for 100 plus shipping.
I have a T-Road Solid that will back up in heavy oil as it makes it''s way to the pocket. My Total Bedlam solved that problem.
We have PBA and Kegel patterns with the leftover backends from open play for practice and pot games. That''s the only time I really need anything that strong locally. Most of the time, I can used my rapid fire solid and my natural to play the lanes.

The problem with the 930T, is that is was just too strong of a ball. The core was strong and the cover with mica was just too strong. Kind of like the brunswick fury. The cover was just too strong for that core. The 715C and 505A would definitely be some great choices to choose from. But everyone's opinion will change about the 9 series, when the 920T comes out. THIS BALL IS THE REAL DEAL!!

At least for me, that's a good thing because it gives me more opportunities to break down the left side when the pattern is not responsive, and friction is at a premium.
I am leaning going pin down but with the mb close to the thumb so it doesn't burn up.
-
Yeah, the ball will help you break down the left side if you need some hook. It is definitely strong. I think you will like it. I know a couple of lefties that have this ball and they like it.

I am going to give it a try and see. I know it won't be too versatile.
