What do you guys think? Is Track really "BACK"? Is there others that are seeing what I see on the Track forums lately?
Thanks for reading!

We never left, bud. In fact...we're better than we've ever been. The Ebonite transaction has blessed us with great reaction shapes. The greatest thing about it...it's all been done with single density cores...not the "Lego" cores that were produced in TX.

Brian, I understand that as a staffer you want and need to promote the "new" Track and I understand a lot of the frustrations of the Ebonite people over the "ball death" and "I hate ebonite covers" stigma. Please promote the "new" Track and don't bash the "old" Track. I loved those "Lego" cores and still do, especially the Robo Rule and Freak. Not dissing or picking on you, but we need to get rid of all this negativity on things we can't control and get back to having fun doing what we should be doing, discussing the new equipment, and how to get the most out of them. The Uprising, Tantrum and Kinetic Pearl all look like great pieces and I'm leaning towards the Tantrum as my first purchase of the "new" Track lineup. Del, Phil, Columbia and Texas are all in the past and it's time to move on. Right, Carl!!
We dont want to move on completly. We still need to look to our past to help give us understandment of things that happen so we dont repeat them. One of the problem with the 'Lego' cores was the extreamly high failure rate with production. This is something that ebonite and many companys have keyed in on. This is why many companys are going solid single peace cores. The other thing is that we want to remember those days because they give us the information as to why Track was the company that we loved. Track was the core inovative companys and the understanding of that is what help the MegaTron core to be made. Some things do need to be left alone however. I wont say what they were but they do, because not everything was a good thing.

Now...on with my post.
Many of the TX cores were great and worked out very well for me. I thought the Robo Core was the best core I'd thrown to date when it came out. The statement was not intended to bash the old Track. The lego cores were a bit of a quality issue when it came to production. Poor quality in the production process is a loss of funds. This can endanger the future of any company.
I personally feel...staff or not...that Track now has a brighter future and a higher quality product.

OK...here is the situation. A company can produce what they want to produce. Ebonite feels that single density is whats best to produce. There are FAR fewer quality control issues out of Hoptown than there were out of San Antonio.
Any one remember the Bonanzas that were created out of the old plant? Those balls were simply balls that did not pass QC. It is just a fact that when you piece things together and they are glued that there will be some production issues. How can someone tell if the flip block or even MB pieces shifted or didn't while the ball was curing?
The old equipment was not bad, I do not believe that is what is being said here. I had very good success with alot of the equipment from back then, as did many other bowlers.
freak,
You are correct.....we cannot promote the new brand by bashing the old brand. If those balls were bad then I do not believe any of us would have continued throwing Track. The way I see it is very simple: staff member or not, I want the best equipment in my hands when I am bowling, so if I did not think that they were great I wouldn't have been throwing those balls.

Also you should have seen Carl in Vegas in his UpRising shirt and working away on marking the balls, he looked pretty sexy then too. Of course they just had 15 lbs, no 16's, but oh well.
