- 718A

First Impressions
With the 718A, Track brings a fascinating new development to the market that stands out above all for its exceptional length and late reaction. Inside works the dynamic Legion Asymmetric core, which with a 2.50 RG and a 0.046 differential ensures a very clean motion through the front part of the lane. The Gen X A Pearl cover is specifically tuned to store the ball's energy extremely efficiently. The nature of the surface with a polished finish massively supports this trait by letting the ball glide effortlessly through the heads without building friction early. Visually the ball is a real eye-catcher and immediately conveys that this model was designed primarily for later and sharper direction changes. The technical match between core and cover is extremely harmonious and purposeful here.
Comparison
Comparing the 718A with the 900 Global Wolverine, the striking differences in backend reaction are immediately apparent. The 900 Global Wolverine tends to read a bit earlier, while the 718A holds its energy a decisive fraction longer and then responds far more aggressively to the dry area. That trait makes it the perfect complement in your arsenal when the Wolverine starts losing energy in the pocket or entering too flat. Although both balls are aimed at lighter oil patterns, the 718A offers a noticeably more dynamic angle. It is the ideal solution for situations in which the Wolverine no longer develops enough drive, since it generates the necessary entry angle.
On the Lanes
This ball shows its greatest strength once the lane has already been played on a bit and the transition has clearly set in. It needs a certain amount of friction on the backend to develop its characteristic hook, which delivers maximum, explosive carry. As the boards in the front part of the lane dry up, the ball lets you systematically move further inside and attack the pocket from a considerably deeper angle. It suits medium to dry conditions superbly and is an excellent choice if you're looking for a clean, responsive surface. Thanks to its forgiving nature on shots missed to the outside, it should keep scores stable at a very high level even in the late stages of a tournament.
