The new Track Alias comes with a very unique core design that offers more drilling options than most other cores. The ball comes with an asymmetric core that can be drilled to be symmetric.
The Alias comes with a new cover the Prime Hybrid.  The Alias is possibly the strongest ball I have ever thrown. I love that it is also strong in the right places. Most strong asymmetric balls I have thrown in the past were never strong at the right places. This one definitely is!!

My first drilling is my asymmetric drilling at 50x4x70. This is a layout I use quite frequently. It is on the strong side for me, and this one still packs plenty downlane reaction. The cover is much cleaner than I anticipated. Don't get me wrong, it still needs oil to be used properly. When I compare this to the Paradox Black, the Alias is about 3-5 stronger and it is all downlane. Cleaner and more angular.

My second drilling is my symmetric layout, that ended up being -25x4x30. So my first shot I threw with this one, I immediately saw a huge difference in the shape. This one started much sooner, and was much smoother as symmetric would do. The cover still allows it to be clean in the fronts, but slows down about 2-3ft sooner than the asymmetric drilling. This helps to keep the ball closer to the friction as it is very smooth then in the back part of the lane. I haven't thrown this one as much as the asymmetric yet.

The Prime Hybrid cover takes surface adjustments like a champ. The colors of the ball look really good going down the lane. The orange in this ball really pops out at you. Make sure you check this one out when needed that new one for the heavier volumes. You will not be disappointed.

Alias has a unique roll to it.  I was able to try both the Asymmetrical and Symmetrical layout.  The Asymmetrical is true to the first video I saw.  It is raw hook but not so much hook it burns up and doesn’t have the power to finish on the back.  NO WAY!! the Alias keeps going and going. 

With the Symmetrical layout I was not sure how different it would be in my hand, I didn’t like the shape with the box surface I changed it to 2000 only that was still a little too early and this is when I saw the Alias not finishing through the pins.  I tried one of my favorite surface adjustments 1000/2000/3000/4000 this gives the ball a polish look to it without having to use ball polish.  I was able to see a shape I wanted.  During a tournament bowling on the black diamond pattern I used the Asymmetrical Alias to start.  Around game 4 it started to drive a little too much and I was in a good zone so I didn’t want to move my feet.  I switched to the Symmetrical Alias and it was spot on.  I would suggest getting the Alias if you want to see that strong move off the friction and through the pins.  I will only suggest drilling the Alias Symmetrical if your Pro Shop Operator has as close to perfect specs 2oz top weight or less 1-2 inch pin.
