I bowl in a wood house with cooked heads. 38 Ft Pattern with a buff to 42-ft. Ball speed 18-19 mph. Med. revs. The pin is 0-1.  Drilled it with the pin under my ring finger with a 1’ kick to the right of the thumb. Ball needs a little bit of oil if left at box surface. Gives me the same read as the Original Elite.  A good choice for someone looking for a reasonably priced benchmark ball.  Great bang for the buck.  Great midlane read, excellent cornering ability.  Remember bowlers when done bowling use a great product we are fortunate to have at Track clean  your equipment with Track Clean N Dull.

Well this ball speaks for itself, a solid cruchtime(triton elite).I really enjoy throwing this ball,its very preditable.I drilled mine with pin 5' from axis and cg shifted 1/2 right of centerline.This ball compliements my freakazoid.Its cleaner through the fronts that my freakazoid and little less backend.When the lanes are a little touchy the balls smoothes out that reaction.

Track Slash
Weight: 15#
Pin: 2"
Top Weight: 1.75 oz

Layout:
5 X 5, 5" Pin, Pin Above Ring Finger

From here on out, it is nothing but the best, and the best is Track! So I decided to have me a Slash punched up. This ball, I was told was like the Triton Elite of old and that it had a smooth reaction to the pocket. Ball looked really intimidating out of the box, but, with the pin above ring finger layout, the reaction was very tamed. This is one of the best symmetric balls to come from the Track line. I never threw an Triton Elite, but I can understand why everybody says that particular ball was a great ball in its hay day! The Slash has a very smooth reaction and does not over jump boards prior to the pocket. It is also very versatile. I could play a direct line, migrate inside and play deep as well and it still made the hook to the pocket! One of my favorites from Track. It could very well be the first ball out of the bag and the only ball to be used for the entire night of league! I'm glad to be back on the FASTTrack to success!

TRACK SLASH - WHY I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER "HIGH PERFORMANCE" BALL.

Ball Specs:
15 lbs 4oz.
2.9oz Top weight 1.8in pin.

Ball Layout:

My driller layed it out like this cause of the short pin. He contacted Track about it. I was afraid the ball wasn't going to hook as much as I thought it would have with a more normal layout but I was wrong! This ball is amazing. Its very smooth I would say its in between a arc to a strong arc. It comes back pretty strong. I shot a 267 with the front 9 with it the third game with it. I will never buy another "High Performance" ball. Track's mid-price balls are so amazing. You can't beat it for $90. GET ONE!

This ball from Track is a flat out winner here!

Track Slash
Weight: 15#
Pin: 2"
Top Weight: 2 3/4 oz.

Layout: Pin under bridge for smoothness and control, factory surface

I got this ball used from mrbowlingnut(A++++ seller) with a slight crack on the bridge of the fingers. I got it plugged and redrilled for me with the layout above. I was looking for a ball I could read the lanes with, smoothness from the heads to the pindeck. This ball is perfect for what I was looking for.

On the condition that I was on,(THS with clean backends) the Slash reads very smooth and transitions off the dry like a urethane(no snap at all). Once carrydown took over, it floated down the lane and started hitting very weak.  To me, this is a sign of what this ball can do: tell me what to use, when to change, and what lane condition is out there.(A very good thing btw, )

With this particular ball, it needs dry in order to work. If this ball is used on soup(in this layout), it will have to be very direct and with as much hand as I have(which ain't much btw, rev deprived ).  On the THS, it reacts well as long as there clean backends with no carrydown. Once the lanes transition, put this ball away. Otherwise, leaving the 5 pin and other weak hits will become more common.

Grades:

Heavy oil: 5/10
Medium oil: 10/10
Light oil: 7/10

Total Grade: A+ (fits the bill for me and my arsenal)

Overall: This ball does exactly what I wanted it to do. It reads the lanes perfectly and is a nice control ball. It will serve as being the first ball out of the bag on league nights and a mainstay in my arsenal. Great job by Track!

Ok it's Kordell Stewart Time. Just kidding, for those of you who know their football, Kordell Stewart (Former Steelers/Ravens QB was nicknamed "Slash" for his ability to play QB and Wide Receiver!)

Alright, on a serious note, here is my review on the Track Slash after about 50-60 games on this ball.

Versatility
This is my benchmark ball. I wanted something that would be the first out of the bag type ball for league. This quickly became just that as I encountered a lot of wet/dry type conditions at my home center. We hit this ball with some Clean N' Smooth and the ball became just that, "Smooth." Oily lanes were out of the question, but medium oil patterns with clean backends seemed to be this ball's best friend. Even with the Clean N' Smooth, this ball was too much for dry lanes.


Hook
You are going to hear me mention this word alot, "control." With the Clean N' Polish, this ball was tamed down a bit. I got an Arc type motion out of this ball. This is not a hook monster, but I believe if I took the surface down to 800, it would be a different story. The Slash's arc type motion was very predictable and this is great when you want to put away your snappy reacting equipment and stay out of trouble.

Length
With the cover adjustment, I got more length out of the ball. We used Track's Clean N' Smooth to try and blend out the stripped backends we see at my center. Not only did the Polish blend out the backend perfectly, it added some length to it.

Control/Readability
Janet Jackson eat your heart out! Jk, hehe. Control is the key word for this ball. When reading lanes, I like to take this ball out because it is very even. I tend to fool myself using stronger balls to read lanes during practice, because the motion of the ball in the backends can be a bit too much. I like the Slash because it is "neutral" on the backend with its' arc motion. If the Slash is hooking a bunch, I know the backend is clean or the pattern is short. If the Slash is skating, then the pattern must be longer or the backends aren't as clean. I'll make adjustments or a ball change if needed. This is what I like about the ball the most.

Hit
Nothing out of the ordinary with this ball, but the predictability of it's backend motion makes for great carry when around the pocket.


Overall Impressions and Final Thoughts
"Control...I'm never gonna stop...Control...Now I'm all grown up..." Oh I'm sorry. I got Janet Jackson singing in my head hehe again. Ok kids, by now, you should know that this Slash for me was all about control and predictablity.  Other have used this ball on Heavier conditions and I think that with a surface adjustment I would be able to use this ball for just that reason. A surface change and layout selection helped me get this ball to get the control I needed. I am now curious to see what a Light-Medium particle load ball would do in the same slot of my arsenal (i.e. Arsenal Aggressive). We'll have to see!
Great Job Track!

Well what can i say about the slash but AWESOME. i used this ball over the whole lane on some heavy stuff tonight, i personally sucked with finding my mark myself but when i had issues with hitting in high, it carried, hitting light, it carried, brooklyn, everything it did its business. I have it drilled 4 1/2 " span with the pin above ring finger i believe, not good with that stuff. but i could play with that ball anywhere pretty much. like i said, the scores sucked but the ball didnt. i just didnt adjust, i just played with the ball to see whats up, and apparently it is.
Get this ball if you need a good medium-heavy oiled lanes and if you need a good benchmark readible ball. NOW THIS BALL IS ON THE FasTrack!
--------------------
There's a Storm Brewing on the FasTrack.

Had this ball drilled Stacked Leverage, used it for 7 games on medium/heavy lane conditions, flat pattern. I have 300-350 RPMS, speed is about 17-18 MPH. I was standing on the 7 board, and playing straight up the 3 board, and this ball the first few shots, i saw it go too long, leaving a couple 7 pins. I noticed that my hand was trying to turn the ball a lot, so i kept my hand under the ball more, played that same line, and averaged 203 for 7 games, which normally, i averaged 170s back then so that was pretty good for me. GREAT ball and I think it'd be a great Benchmark ball for medium, stroker style bowlers, and possibly a VERY VERSATILE ball. Great ball produced my Track, I'd like to thank Mike Morgan for drilling this ball though, and Michael with his awesome videos that got me wanting to try Track again.
