Track is reintroducing the Track Paradox but in black this time around. The Track Paradox Black is aggressive in the front part of the lane, the mid-lane, and the backend on heavy oil conditions making this bowling ball a truly unexplainable paradox. This ball uses the i-Core 2.0 to create a big flare potential and the QR-9 Hybrid coverstock helps create major pin action by responding to lane friction quickly.

Drilled the Paradox Black with my benchmark drilling and will use as the first ball out of the bag on fresh conditions.  This is my favorite ball in the bag right now, it reads the mids very well and the carry is incredible.  I’ve shot 300 and 800 with this one in the first month of using it.  I highly recommend getting one of these for your arsenal.

I put a 45x3.5x35 layout on my Paradox Black.  This ball is definitely as advertised...early and strong. This ball rolls sooner than both my Verdict and Kinetic Ruby and instantly became the strongest ball in my bag.  This ball would be ideal on any type of longer pattern for any type of player.  Players with higher ball speed and a heavier roll should love this ball.  A must have for all tournament players.

I first got the Blue Paradox. I was so pleasantly surprised at the completely different hook shape and how it entered the pocket, that I couldn't wait to buy the Paradox Black! And when I did......Oh boy! This thing is a MONSTER!!

Out of the box, I couldn't find a pattern I could use it on. Thank goodness I was able to play with it at the USBC tourney, where there was plenty of oil! This ball is early; it is strong; and it is continuous through the pin deck!! Once I got a little oil into the cover it calmed down a little and I have been able to use it on some selective house shots.

My Black is drilled with the pin over the bridge, and the MB kicked two inches right of my thumbhole. The CG is centered between the two on the same line. My PAP is 4-1/4 right and 1/2 up.

This ball is awesome! No ball that I own hits as hard as this ball! Whenever I use it, I see guys eyes kind of light up because of the noise it makes when I hit the pocket!! This is a tremendous piece.....so much so that I went and bought another one!!

I know in previous posts, guys talk about how smooth this ball is....not for me! I only throw at 13mph and this ball is a lumbering FREIGHT TRAIN!! It not only turns the corner, it tears down signs and leaves wind blowing in its path!!

Currently I am able to use this on medium heavy patterns and heavy oil patterns only.
I LOVE THIS BALL!!! Great job Track!
