    Well Ive had this ball for about 2 yrs now I'd say. This thing just keeps on going. The reavtive pearl coverstock hooks more than normal and hits very hard. THe ball tends to leave a few ten pins but its not like there isnt a ball that dosent. This is a very good ball and works best on medium to medium dry. Will not work on dry or heavy oil. I wouldnt recommend it if u throw it hard either. Needs a soft hand to keep it wheelin good. Overall this is a very good ball and is one of my favorites. Long live Track.

    This ball is a very good buy for the price paid. If your looking for a quality ball in the mid price range this is a keeper. My ball is set to get thru the heads and snap on the back end and boy does it do that. It's also a forgiving ball for a misplaced shot which is a bonus for anyone other than a pro. The only condition I would avoid with this ball is very heavy oil, other than that you'll be ok. This would be on a short list of balls that I would recommend for most any condition.

    Good ball used on medium oil works on a Christmas Tree type slow down about 10 board. This is the most Versatile Ball I ever seen I've been shooting nothing but 600 to mid six's One 699 with. I have no success on Heavy oil with carry down. Have not tried on Sport Shot want another ball for that reason. I recommend this ball highly. This ball carrys the 10 pin unless you miss throw it. good on fresh oil with dry backends but when carrydown comes into play 10 pins. I got a 2-3 pin placement on my ball and love it.

    I love this ball. I am a control bowler. I have no problem swithing to a different hand postions with this ball so the release will dictate the different types of reaction that the house may require. Can Play deep if dry. It works great bumping the oil lines and carries better from shots throw outside of the third arrow This ball has replaced three other balls from my bag because of its versitilty. I love a ball that can play many types of lines and shots. I perfer to make small adjustments as the lanes break down as oppose to makeing a ball switch which may cause me to use a couple of frames to find a line. If you like a verisital ball that carries well on med oil to dryer lanes this is your ball.

    Out of all the ball I bowl with this is the best one. When I first got the ball I shot a 820 with it. Now I'm still shoting like 700, 650s 800 whenever I feeling good. This ball is for poeple that is looking to have the ball go long then hook really hard at the back. But if you want a ball to go long then I would say you need to put a lot of revs on it. This ball will help you, and sometimes you just have to help yourself. Ohter then that this is the best ball too.

    I love this ball! Thats pretty much all there is to it . My first couple of games with it were 228,a 215,a 211,a 246,a 264 and a 219 so all in all this is one awesome bowl. This is one of the best balls i have owned in my 12 years of bowling. So when the lanes i am bowling on have oil on them you better watch out or you will get whopped!!! One dislike is if the lanes start to dry out i cant throw it hard enough to bury it in the pocket. This ball right here packs a pretty mean punch when it hits the pocket!

    MY ONLY TRY WITH A TRACK BALL, AND WHAT A GOOD ONE IT WAS TOO. SOLD MINE TO A GUY IN THE LEAGUE AND HE TRIED TO SHOT HE NUMBER AGAINST ME WITH IT. OOPS. THIS IS A GREAT SKID/SNAP BALL ESPECIALLY FOR THE PRICE. IT SCOOTED REALLY NICE AND DIDNT SEEMS TO MIND IF THE HEADS DRIED SOME. IF THEY WERE FRIED, U COULD FIRE IT COAST TO COAST. IF THEY WERE WET WELL, U COULD JUST PUT IT BACK IN THE BAG. IT WOULD JUST GO WAY TOO LONG TO BE ANY GOOD ON THE HEAVY STUFF.BUT OVERALL A GREAT BALL THAT HIT VERY WELL AND IS DEFINATELY A GREAT BUY.

    Drilled up w/my favorite set up w/out the extra hole, this ball rolls early, and snaps late, similar to my 2nd tko w/out the big hook. This ball doesn't like oil, i love it on med. Tends to be a bit snappy on dry, and slides on oil. Speed control is a must, very easy to throw this ball threw the break point. Great ball for the price, I'm looking forward to throwing the voodoo and hextream. this was a great replacement for my too light, cracking trition elite pearl. The pleasure has been yours. The great one

    Bought this ball to take the place of another ball that was killed in redrilling (well, made much less useful). It is drilled to go long and snap and boy does it. It took me about two and a half games to figure out how it would react, but once I got the line and the hang of it BOOM. Hits very hard and drives through the pins -- so stay solid to low in the pocket. Generate consistent speed and revs and this boy is great. A perfect pearlized ball to complement my Too Hot (dry), Classic Rock (medium to heavy) and strong balls. Given the way it reacts, it may also be the most versatile of the bunch. Updates as we go, but this one is very good. If you want something to go and hit and have it drilled to skid and snap, this is a great ball for tweeners and strokers. Crankers might find it jumpy until they get used to the move.

    Great ball for $100. It gets thru the heads clean and finishes with alot of energy. If anything it hits too hard. Ive got it drilled with the pin over my index finger for length and it still turns on a dime. I would recommend this ball to anyone who needs a little extra. Dont let the balls *for light oil fool you* IT HOOKS. This was the first product ive purchased from track and im more than happy. (no more brunswick for me) I still cant believe that this ball only cost round $100. Get out there and get yours today

    This ball glides through the heads extreamly well and hits soooo hard. I have started to leave 9 pins sometimes because the ball tears through the pocket. I have the pin under ring finger to give the ball some lenth down the floor, it holds a tight rope line and then releases all of the energy into the backend reaction. Oh, did I forget to mention that this ball is a monster on the backend. I play a inside line, usually around 20 to 9 and I have had no problems with the ball. When I got the ball drilled up on Saturday night, i used it for my Sunday Morning league and cashed with it. I also used it on my Monday night league and cashed again. This ball has paid for itself three times over. I am now going to buy another one. I really have never been a big fan of Track equipment in the past but this has made me a beleiver that Track is now a legitimate company that doesn't have to tie a big price tag to a good ball. Thanks Buddies

    I bought my hex to go to when my erase -it starts to leave too many back row pins because of lack of head oil. The erase it and hex are both 16lbs with about 3 ounces of top weight before drilling and 3 inch pins. The cg is near grip center on both with the pin just right of my ring finger on both balls. The hex is stronger than advertised. It hooks only about 2 boards less then my dull erase it on everything but heavy oil. When the lanes are very wet the polished hex just slides into the pins like a spare ball. On fresh conditions I prefer the erase it because the carry is better than the hex. When the lanes dry out it is a different story. The hex then lets me play the same basic line as the erease-it with greatly improved carry. THIS IS A GREAT SECOND SHIFT OR OPEN BOWLING BALL!!!!!!!!!!!! Just follow the oil edge and let the ball snap off the dry to devistate the pins. It does need some head oil but you just have to move inside until you find it. Although

    We can't keep these on the shelf ! What a great ball. Will recover for just about any angle. Plenty of length on dry but enough hook when you start to see some carry down. Highly recomended. Been drilling alot of them with pin 4" from pap not many weight holes, seem to roll more with out them. The price won't hurt you either at $150 retail you can't go wrong. Track has really out done themselves this time. Best ball out there by far good price great reaction. What to know more drop me a line a trplx355@hotmail.com
