Ball-A-Day Giveaway defunct
« on: November 06, 2006, 09:12:33 AM »
It was bound to happen.  Del is gone, and now the ball-a-day giveaway is gone.  To all that won, way to go to.  For the ones that didn't(like myself) we tried.  And for those that won twice, go to a casino or play the lottery!

It was a great thing. Thank You Track.

 The thing that bothers me is this was suppose to last for a year. Why the change?

 Del was in charge when this went to be a ball a day give away, but it was not his BABY.

 That person is still at Track, and I would like to know why the change ?

mmhm. KeglerX won twice, and someone like all the people that are active on the site, don't win at all. Kind of a cheap outcome to me.

Most balls hi-po run about 50 bucks too make i have heard recently, the figure i had from 6 years ago was around 38 bucks. Of course i could be talking out my behind like will be said by someone at the company. BTW my info is not columbia figures it from another ball company so maybe they do cost track more.

I don't know how Track doesn't have any money from all the balls I have bought in the last 6 months and with them coming out with a ball a month, one would think they must be making some kind of profit.

To bad they didn't honor their deadline for the ball give away.

Reasons? hmm. Other ball companies didn't offer this.  Track equipment is by far superior to Lane 1, Storm, MoRich, Legends/Lane Masters and even Brunswick.  They are pretty even with Ebonite and it appears their parent company Hammer is doing well too.  If you haven't thrown any Track equipment in the past 12 months, you are missing a lot.  This stuff hits, and hits harder.  I have thrown equipment from all the manufacturer's except Lane Master/Legends.  For my game, Track works for me.  The others didn't.  I commend Track for offering this.  It was a way to get Track balls in people's hands to see that Track has excellent equipment.

Uh Uh....Speak for yourself. For me it doesn't work that way. Tracks older balls like the Havoc, Slash, Heat, and other such  Track balls worked great for me on the conditions I bowl on, but Track's new balls the last 10-12 months with the overly strong MB's, coupled with the strong covers, and etc. don't match up to me any more. Due to that, I was forced to look else where. That's why I tried a couple of Legends/Lanemaster balls and so far they seem to be a good fit for me.

Yup, and so is Legends/Lanemasters, Ebonite, Hammer, Mo-Rich, and all the rest of the companies. It is all about match-up. In other words, each person needs to find what works best for them.

A simple thank you for running it in the first place would suffice. Sometimes showing some gratitude for a program goes a long way. I'd hate to think that free is the only way to get people to show some loyalty.

The loyalty I show is by wearing the Track shirt I bought with my own money, and the 10 Track bowling balls I have sitting next to my computer. I bought everyone with the pension money I get every month from working 30 years in a steel mill.

How is that for loyalty Mr. NEWGUY?

That is truly loyal and we greatly appreciate it. My comments are directed at those who bash a company about a FREE program being cut off.
