TRACK equipment.
« on: October 10, 2004, 03:15:54 PM »
Being a freestanding pro shop has many benefits, but one obvious downside-no bowling alley to go test what you just drilled. My local bowling alley has a special every Sunday morning. For $7, you get your own lane for 2 hours, and you go bowl as many games as you can get in. Pretty cheap, auto scores, etc. Went down today and was told only Saturday night league had bowled on the shot, so it should be ok. Started out with my dull Rule, go 772 for the first 3 games. Heads started to go, switched to my Phenom #1(cg in palm) and Phenom Unleashed (cg in palm as well) and shot the lights out for a few games, but both balls were out of box surface, and they started to go when the heads got worse as well. Last ball was the Animal, out of box surface, cg in palm (you can see all my reviews as I have 2 of every ball with the exception of the Freak-A-Zoid, I only have one. Animal was great, polish got the ball through the heads very clean and had great pop for the backend even with last nights carrydown and all I had bowled already. Even popped out a 290. My point? I bowled 18 games, yes 18 games in 2 hours, had 136 strikes, averaged 237 for the session, with 4 different Track balls. I played outside at first with the Rule up 10 with the remnants of last nights oil and finished hitting 17 out to 12 and back with the Animal. I am trying to say and show I had a Track ball for everything I needed. I could play wherever I wanted and here is the secret, I COULD ALSO CARRY from all those places as well. Backend continuation on all of my equipment can not be matched by anything I threw before I went on the Advisory staff and EVERY single ball reads the lanes very well!

If you have any questions, please write as I will get back to you as soon as possible!

Thanks!

Clint,

Great post bud. The fact that you can take one of these stronger Track balls and drill it weak or "more tame" and use it on lighter conditions is a great advantage. The only problem is that people see the specs and assume that no matter what they are going to hook a ton. Inside these asymmetrical is a core that is so versatile.....it is really scarey.


GOOD JOB!!!

inverted, I am not sure I see where Clint said that he did not get backend continuation out of the other stuff he used to throw.....I am pretty sure what I read was he is getting BETTER backend continuation now as opposed to what he was getting with other equipment he used to use.

Better backend continuation is right on EX. Also, I only threw Hammer and Ebonite the past 3 years, NOTHING else before I went on staff for Track. Never had a Freak, Mutant, MoJo, etc, or any other brand as well, although now I have the advantage of seeing balls leave the shop and see how they perform for other bowlers as well. One of my main points was with my Vicious Particle Solid, if I didn't hit it at the bottom, could almost guarantee a 10, but sometimes it did kick it, but not very often. Now if I miss it, I see more 10s carrying than before, which is due to the more or better backend continuation than I had before with all of the new balls, etc.

I believe by talking through a situation like this may help someone out, so please ask questions! No disrespect taken here from any of the posts.
Thanks
Clint Daley

Hey Brian,

The Hexplosion is not really for carrydown IMHO.  It more for a breakdown condition.  Please describe your shot/condition and one of us will try and help recommend a ball, thanks.
