I need your guys help with this. Carl and I would like to know how helpful or influential we've been in regards to your Track purchases. We're out here helping because we enjoy helping you but we never really know our true value here. We'd appreciate your input, thanks for taking the time.
I also realize there are many who don't have an account set up to reply but it would be very helpful to hear from you guys as well, thanks again.

You both are a "HUGE"
( in doing things, not in height Rick) asset to Track whether they want to admit that or not. If either were to ever leave Track I don't think they realize what they would be missing. Glad to see you back Rick !!

BTW, Rick ... I got a used Delta on eBay a few weeks ago after seeing yur video on it and that convinced me(although I was a bit leery of it since it looked so strong and continuous through the backends and the deck, but WOW !!!
Carl recommended a layout for it(pin below ring and MB#3); after rolling a 236 with it after plugging and redrilling, I hit it with a 1000 abralon pad and put a wgt hole outside my VAL and below the midline, and BAM !!! My first 300 !!! (OK ... just practice, but still ...
:coolAnyway ... you guys are both top notch !!!
PS - I just won another single drill Delta on eBay last week and an Xception too to try out. !!!
Thanx again, guys !!!

We have developed relationships with each of you as if we were your own personal pro shop operator. You can count on us to continue to help each of you to the best of our ability.
Thanks again, you cannot possibly know how great it is to hear that we have a value to you. It shows that we have not put in all of the effort that we have for nothing.

. He's right, I'd also like to personally thank all of you for your kind words and your time in replying. This is not about anything for our personal egos but to see if we have had some influence in your Track purchases and how we've helped as staffers in trying to get you your desired reaction. Track equipment or not, we've also tried to help many out here reach their goals and better themselves in this great sport. Carl and I are trying to see if it would be worthwhile to move our support to another site where we can control the environment and not have to deal with any unwanted posts. What are your guys thoughts on that? Appreciate the feedback again....thanks and remember it's Valentines Day, don't forget your presents!
Hey Carl, what are you getting me?...

You and all the other great staffers and posters on this forum were a major factor in my decision to start primarily using Track.
I know I can always come in here and post or PM a question to a staffer or other knowledgable person in here and get a honest and unbiased opinion.
Of all the forums on here I feel that the Track forum is the most helpful and kind to each other. I can't recall anyone ever flaming someone for their opinion or other post they disagreed with. It seems to me that there is a strong family feel in here.
I feel that a big reason for this is the leaders in here lead by example and are always friendly and eager to help, that make all of you a great asset to BR.com and Track.
My last 3 purchases were strongly ifluenced by many of you.
Rule, Delta 1 and Elite Remix are the last 3 I bought and my next is going to be a Desert Heat, crossing fingers and hoping it will be very soon.
Rick you got one layin around by chance since you also use 14# equipment
The level of product quality and the diversity of the current lineup is a major factor too of course. If we could finally get a cool spare ball the line would be complete.

Rick, you are the one that got me here. If you and Carl move, then I would have to leave Track. Blackmail????? No, not really, but the other sites are harder for people like myself to navigate. Despite all of the problems on this site caused mostly by the inmature kids and and even some of the smart alec answers by some of the more mature-knowledgeable ones, I bite my tounge and tend to stay on this site because of it's simplicity to use.

Carl & Rick,
You can chalk up at leat 5+ more Track NEW ball sales, just from your posts (with a tiny bit of help from Anthony C). I've bought an Xception, a Rule, Delta1, 2 CrunchTimes, a Solution PP Ex (there must be another or two; just can't think of them now). Tell Del that!
Hey, you Track pseudo-fanatics,
If you can't ascribe the number of Track balls you bought just from Carl's and Rick's advice and posts, then you ain't properly thanked them YET! Give them something CONCRETE to take back, for accounting purposes!!

You guys have been a tremendous help to the Track Forum and Ballreviews
in General. Mini-Reviews, Advice, Answering PM's, etc. Many members are
spoiled to have you guys on here.
P.S. Carl, better send Rick more than chocolates, I gave him and the Mrs.
a box of chocolate covered macadamia nuts and he actually lost weight
after eating them...hahaha

Just wish Rick was still able to help like he once did before he took on a new job as he has really taught me a lot this past year.
Hey, don't blame me for your average dropping!
Brick or anyone else, just pop me a message and I'll try to get back to you guys as quick as I can. Yes, working the 2 jobs has been tough but the killer is that the shop's been busy. Go figure, I get a job cause business was so-so and then just nuts for the last 2 months. Nothing ever seems simple anymore...

I may not post here often but always read the topics. Both Carl and Rick has answered my questions both in the forum and private messages. Rick would probably answer more questions but Carl told me he sometimes forgets his booster chair and can't reach the keyboard.
I have owned several Track balls. Recently I have bought an Animal, Animal Untamed and a Crunch Time from information received here.
Keep up the good work and I am sure many others will be persuaded to use Track equipment.

My first Track ball - Mojo - was at the recommendation of a kid at the local pro shop. He watched me bowl with a Brunswick Command Zone Arc. As a result of this, I started reading the Track Forum here and quickly found it extremely interesting and informative. In fact, the Track Forum is the best one here and the staffers have helped making acquiring a ball and drilling for a specific reaction less risky. The last thing anyone wants to do is buy a new expensive bowling ball and then drill it and find out either the ball doesn't do what was expected or the drill pattern was wrong for the ball.
Frankly, I hope Track takes care of you guys, because my ball and equipment purchases are a direct result of you staffers on this forum. I am sorry to see so many recent defections, but hope that Del's return will put an end to this trend.

Mojo - Med-Heavy
Rule - Med to Med-Heavy
Threat - Med
Crunch Time - Med to Med-Light
