The Track Criterion is a game-changing addition to Track’s line of performance bowling balls. Known for pushing boundaries, Track delivers once again with the Criterion, a ball designed for bowlers who demand versatility, power, and consistency on the lanes. Building on the legacy of revolutionary core designs seen in the Paradox, Paragon, and Archetype, the Criterion introduces the all-new Criterion M.D. core—optimized to tackle oily lane conditions while maintaining energy for a strong finish on the backend. The Criterion features the most advanced QR and HK22 coverstock ever seen on a Track bowling ball. Engineered with cutting-edge nano micellular phase separation technology, the HK22 cover enhances color, clarity, and overall performance, offering exceptional traction without sacrificing backend power. Paired with Durability Optimization Technology (DOT), the Criterion is built for long-lasting performance, significantly reducing the risk of cracking. Incorporating DynamiCore outer core technology, this ball delivers unmatched durability and less compression upon impact, resulting in amplified hitting power, superior pin carry, and a unique sound that sets it apart from the competition. Trust the Track Criterion to elevate your game with precision, power, and durability—it's the right choice for bowlers looking to conquer any condition.

COMMENTS

Likes: I have only used the Track Criterion on our House pattern so far, but I can see this will be in my tournament bag for sure. It is a heavy rolling ball that stays strong down lane. Compared to my Hammer Pure Envy, it is about 3-4 boards with my feet stronger.  It has the new QR-12 cover with HK22 & cohesion additives. Then they put a large multi-density core inside. This is a big engine ball. I really like what I've seen so far.

Criterion - House Patterns

Pin above ring finger MB to the right of the thumb less then half an inch.  Everything I saw about the Criterion has shown to be true.  Big piece that rolls well in oil and can withstand friction down lane without burning up and or over hooking.  I like the shape I see from the Criterion.  Very different from older bigger Track pieces.  I can play straight if I need to, I can also get in and play a loop if needed.  I have also seen the Criterion keeps the pins low.  That is an old back in the day thing nowadays throw pins around as much as possible I like both.  Whichever will get 10 off the deck sign me up.  Overall, very controlled piece, I will move this into my benchmark bag, I haven’t touched the cover at all, and it continues to get better.  Cover adjustments are friendly to the Criterion so if you like 1000 and lower or 1000 and higher the Criterion will work with you.  It doesn’t lane polish quickly which is a good thing.  I am about 12 games in, and it has that sheen look.  Not polished not dull right in the middle.  I could compare the Criterion to two pieces Strata out the box but not as early however still amazingly strong through the pins with box surface.  Tactix Hybrid smooth rolling in the mids with that controlled backend.  Criterion is MUCH better through the pins though.  So, if you remember those two pieces great if not it’s ok.  The Criterion is better then both.
