The 400A Special Edition is the newest symmetrical cored release from Track. The white color of this ball will not be confused for anything else sitting on the rack or going down the lane. The 400A Special Edition is a combination of the DNA core first used in the 300C Solid with a new pearlized cover formulation called Luxury MA.

This shiny coverstock provides a long and strong ball reaction that was best for us on our medium test pattern. The 400A Special Edition wastes little energy getting to the breakpoint where it unleashes a powerful...

The new pearlized coverstock saves lots of energy for the breakpoint. This is an “A” series ball for a reason.
Length

The polished coverstock uses minimal energy until it sees the friction down lane. Bowlers on medium to dry conditions will find this type of reaction most useful.
Back End

We have yet to be let down by Track with their naming system. Any balls carrying the “Angular” name in them have made a significant move in the back end.
Total Hook

The 400A Special Edition provides the same amount of total hook as the 300C Solid, but goes about it in a totally different way. This ball is cleaner through the front and much stronger down lane.

Strengths: This ball provides a long and strong reaction in addition to giving Track users an additional symmetrical core option. Its best on medium to dry conditions.

Weaknesses: Heavy volumes of oil are not where “A” series balls were designed to be effective. Find a “Traction” ball for the slick stuff.

Overall Summary: The 400A Special Edition provides an angular motion on medium to dry lane conditions. This marks the first 400 series release to the US market.
