Track Tundra Solid
The Track Tundra Solid is ideal when you need to cool the lanes down. The coverstock and core for this ball offer great control when it is needed. The Track Symmetric core has a high RG and low differential that allows the ball to retain energy longer and offer a smooth, controllable down lane motion. The QR-4 Solid coverstock found on this ball matches up well with the Track Symmetric core. With a 3000 grit sanded finish this ball doesn't have a hard time on the front of the lanes and still has ample traction when facing light to medium oil conditions.

COMMENTS

The Tundra Solid is perfect for dry lanes. It also works great if you want to play a straighter line on medium oil. If the Tundra was too weak for you, the Tundra Solid is going to put a smile on your face. The solid cover blends out the chop and still gives you the pop on the back end to get the corners out.

I drilled up this ball expecting it to be a late in block or late league kinda ball and it has worked out, but I have been using earlier & earlier. It has more teeth than I expected, has a nice smooth arc and hits hard. It fits between my pearl Tundra and my Hammer Web Tour. Nice add to my bag.

Length: 40'

Volume:

Type I used it late on a pattern at West Coast Challenge and made up a lot of ground fast. It's a beast on THS.

 First, let me say this:  NOT A STAFFER

 And not really an in depth review, just my opinions and observations.

 Now, on to those:

 Was looking for a solid cover ball that was “weaker” than lots of others, and was leaning towards a Hustle Ink. Went to the shop to see about one, and he told me about this one. Decent cover, higher rg, and lower diff. Said he would make me a great deal on it since he already had it in stock, so I said sure.

 Drilled it pin over ring, cg stacked, which gives me about a 4 x 3 with my pap #’s.

 Well, it would be an understatement to say I was impressed. The ball was surprisingly clean through the fronts, started its transition further down than I thought it would, and made a very hard arc/turn to the rack. As long as I played close enough to the oil line to let it “bump” the dry, this thing was absolute money.

 Now, if I pulled it into the oil too far, it would skid too much and not recover in time, leaving me with flat tens, or even washouts. I considered this to be “operator error”, and continued to use it for the entire set.

 For many, I DO NOT believe this is a full set ball. Once I got my feet too deep, it didn’t seem to hit or carry as well, but as long as I could stay a bit out and play (bump) the track, it was great.

 First two games out of the box were 267-259. Then, when I moved into the lane, I only shot a “hit or miss” 180.

 If you are looking for something that is controllable, likes the drier track, and likes to be rolled (not thrown with lots of axis rotation), this could be a hidden gem.

 I know it has been for me.
