- 714C

First Impressions
The Track 714C is an absolute prime example of control and perfect readability on the lane. Driven by the proven Legion core, this ball offers very balanced and harmonious core dynamics with a 2.50 RG and a 0.046 differential. Combined with the precisely tuned Gen X C solid cover, the result is a surface that interacts with the oil in an extremely predictable and consistent way. The 500/2000 Abralon finish purposefully ensures that the ball picks up friction early and safely controls the midlane without ever appearing unpredictable. Even its outward appearance conveys great stability and reliability, qualities that carry over seamlessly into the actual ball motion through the heads. The overall construction is designed to give the bowler clear feedback about the condition of the lane at all times.
Comparison
Looking at the 714C in direct comparison with the Storm Phaze II, its considerably stronger orientation toward control and predictability becomes very clear. The Storm Phaze II does offer a somewhat more angular move off the backend, but it can react too sensitively or overreact on difficult oil patterns. This is exactly where the 714C scores, with its steady, smooth and continuous arc toward the pins. Where the Phaze II tends to miss the breakpoint, the 714C provides the traction needed in the pocket to stay safely on course. It fills the gap between extremely strong balls and weaker models absolutely ideally. For bowlers who like the Phaze II but are looking for a calmer, safer option, this is the logical choice.
On the Lanes
On the lane this ball proves to be the perfect companion for medium to heavy oil patterns, especially on typical house shots or demanding sport patterns. It lets you move safely across the boards and develops a strong but wonderfully round hook that leads straight into the pocket. The smooth reaction to the friction on the backend delivers outstanding carry, since the ball transfers an extreme amount of energy into the pins instead of wasting it prematurely with too hard a change of direction. Once the transition sets in, the ball can still be used very effectively with small adjustments to the line before a ball change becomes necessary. It is a true benchmark for anyone who wants to build their game methodically and should deliver consistently high scores.
