Manufacturer’s Intent: Track’s intent with the all new 508A is to bring you a new and improved version of the original 505A.
The 505A featured the MP GEN3 Coverstock and a new performance pearl additive which helped in making the ball so angular. The new 508A uses the same popular Legion Core that you will find in the 607A SE, but we have tweaked this core a bit to match our all new MP GEN 4 Pearl Coverstock. However, the 508A does not contain the performance pearl additive found in the 505A. Why not? There was no need, the new MP GEN 4 Pearl Coverstock is strong enough on its own that it was not necessary to combine this with the pearl additive.
The 508A, with the help of the new MP GEN 4 reactive Pearl Coverstock, is designed to be stronger off the spot that its predecessor. The 508A also brings a different surface than the 505A as now we use three different grits of Abralon® pads, 800 Abranet®, 1000, and 2000 Abralon®, followed by Powerhouse™ Factory Finish Polish.
The intermediate diff is a higher in the new 508A which provides more flare potenial and a stronger overall core than the 505A. The changes we have made to the new 508A, from the new MP GEN 4 reactive pearl veneer to the modified Legion Core, should provide you with a quicker responsive and overall more agrressive product than the previous 500 series balls.
