Well, I just place my order for 1 Strike Machine! I give them a call at 12:30 a.m. but no one answer. Like 5 mins later, doug from bowlerstore.com nicely call me back. Doug said they will recieve their shipment on wednesday next week. They should have about 48 of them and 8 of them have been sold.

The reason Bowlerstore have the strike machine is that Track still have some left over that didn't send oversea. They only got 14 lbs in stock right now and 15's and 16's the end of the month. Hope all legionars get one before it's all gone.....

NO! Machine 101(lane1what) and i have gone over this long time ago. Machine, strike machine, and mean machine all have different coverstock but same core. Strike machine and Machine is arc and MM skid/filp.

The cover is Track's newest coverstock to date. It is called the Nano-Tread Coverstock.  

This advanced formula from BASF contains a new polymer that creates microscopic treads throughout the surface of the shell.  The treads act like a high performance tire on your car cutting through water, or in this case through today’s high viscosity oils that have up to 14 different additives of slip agents.  Nano-Treadâ„¢ also has the highest oil soak rate of any shell that Track has ever used on a bowling ball.  The oil stays on the ball less time, which helps prevent the wiggle or squirt that is sometimes seen on carry down or when the lane is in a transition.  This means more consistent ball motion longer while bowling in tournaments or in league.  

All of the information we have on this ball is on the product page on our website. (the link is posted in one of the above messages)

This ball is definately more angular than any of the balls in the Machine series.

We have 12-16 pound Strike Machines, not just 14's. Our shipment will be here 9-13-06 and will begin shipping 9-14-06. 15 pound equipment will not be here until the end of September. We have a limited supply of these, so they will be shipped on a first come, first serve basis.

FYI: The 12lb and 13lb equipment utilizes the Rocket Core which is designed to match the higher weight balls in Differential and RG.

Thank You!
