OK since nobody else has posted anything yet here is my $.02

I drilled two Tempers so far:

#1 Pin 4" under ring finger, MB(strong, No hole. scuffed with 4000 abralon.

This is my start the night ball on the fresh. It starts up nicely in the mids and makes a very nice strong arc to the pocket. Nothing flashy but it strikes alot when I make shots.(DUH!) I love the control of the ball and the easy read this gives me on the fresh. It's very easily one of the most controllable, readable balls I have drilled in a long time.


#2 Pin 4 1/2" from PAP, MB 3 1/2" from PAP with Large hole on axis. OOB Finish.
I use this ball when I need something to get through the headsbut still get going in the mids and still get through the carry down on the back. Like I have said before my THS is not typical and has a longer higher volume of oil than most people. I am struggling this year with the equipment selections with no real oiler out yet. But making do with what I have this ball is #2 out of the bag the other Temper is the fresh ball #1 out of the bag.

From these two I go to one of the other 3 Kinetics to create area if there is any to be had or created. My league house is newly resurfaced wood and the heads, although oiled well, still haven't calmed down so anything with surface reads the heads texture too soon and doesn't get around the corner. Usually once the brigade of thumbers have blown open the track (no pun intended) the Kinetics come into full force.

Just purchased this ball and it is great!!!    This is my second ball I have purchased since getting back into bowling.  What has amazed me about this ball is if you hit the pocket  or anywhere around the pocket/brooklyn you strike just about everytime.   My avg was 165 with my previous ball..With this in  league games so far I am avg 181.  

The lanes I bowl on are med/heavy oil.  When I first purchased the ball the pro told me that if it didn't hook enough to have the finish taken off.  I would definitely suggest that as it did not hook very much until I did that.

I am going to purchase another to have when I bowl in tourneys at other alleys that have less oil. Or to use later in the night after the oil is broken down some.

I have a hammer and this is flat out a better ball.  Again I have only been bowling for the last year and I am by no means an expert.  But for the price of this ball and how it performs I can't imagine a better ball out there.

This is my first outing with Track since the Arsenal Angular. I am very impressed with this ball. I drilled it with the pin above the fingers and the mb about an inch to the right of my thumb. It gets excellent length with a nice,smooth turn in the backend. It allows me to play up the gutter all night long. The carry is fantastic. Lots of pin action and messengers. I can see some big scores being had with the Temper.

The sleeper hit from 2007.

Layout
I tried a Temper when they were first released with a 3 3/8" pin to PAP and a 90 degree Mass Bias; we'll call this "Temper #1".  The Temper that I am reviewing now is drilled with a 4" pin to PAP, a 45 degree Mass Bias and a 27/32 weighthole on the VAL 2 1/2" below the PAP to almost max out the flare potential of this ball.  We will call this one Temper #2.

Conditions
I have used Temper #2 exclusively in a house with Brunswick Proanvilane.  The patterns used on were PBA Viper, USBC Open, Shark, and the house pattern with a few hours of open play on them.  Temper #1 was only used on a few different THS patterns.

Review
On Temper #1 I tried to mimmick a reaction I had in one of my favorite Classic Zones and I missed it completely.  The ball was suprisingly clean with a 3 3/8ths pin to axis, but lacked the hitting power I desired.  That left alot of flat corners.  I sold off that Temper and tried Temper #2 with much different results.  

I was advised by a Track rep to drill the Temper stronger than you normally would for the layout you desired and keep the factory finish on the ball.  What I wanted was a strong arc that didn't puke at the pins.  Temper #2 came through perfect for that.  The factory surface on the Temper coasts up the lane like plastic, but the move this thing makes at 40 feet is phenominal.  I heard alot of people talk about the skid/flip power out of the Kinetic, the Temper would be sure to suprise you if you think that ball was backend strong.  The Temper revs off the hand very easy as a low RG ball should, but somehow stores alot of energy to make a violent change of direction down the lane.  Very impressive.  

Temper #2 just may be the most controllable skid/flip ball I've ever thrown.  It reads the midlane very well, but is suprisingly angular.  It reminds me of the Intense Inferno with the ability to continue much better.  I've been able to let loose on the USBC Open pattern playing the Temper direct in the track area of the lane and have been able to make the pattern "feel" down right easy.  I'm almost upset I'm not attending ABQ this year for the USBC Open.  I think the Temper is an excellent match to patterns that minimize your margin of error in the heads.  It stays very straight for the first 30-35 feet and morphs into a reaction you really wouldn't expect from the look up front.  When this ball changes direction, it comes quick and doesn't stop in carrydown.  This makes the Temper an excellent choice for not only opening up the lane, but for playing longer patterns as well when you're relying on the last 10-15 feet of dry backends to give you all of your hook.  The Temper really delivers and seems to open up tighter lane conditions.

Some balls just seem to "give you the world" when the condition is a tad demanding.  The Temper will be that ball for alot of different styles, especially the heavy handed player.

This ball is great in the oil! This ball help me get my highest league average in a house known for its oily conditions! This ball is very powerful! The pocket shots hardly ever leave a pin standing! When the lanes break down, this ball goes back in my bag due to the over reaction. I would like to try more Track products down the line.
