Holding Track back??!! With the current arsenal Track has out, how are they being held back.  Between the Kinetic, Kinetic Energy, and the Temper you have 3 balls that give you different lengths and backends.  And then the Rising, which you can drill various ways in order to go from strong midlane and ton of hook to very smooth.  And now this summer Track will have three more coming out starting on Tuesday with the Tantrum (which I am stoked about the Tantrum).  So how in any way is Track being "held back". They are coming out with the must up to date covers and cores. Ebonite has done a great job of letting each company kind of do their own thing since they each have their own Brand Manager. I, personally, would not say that Track is being held back.  Just my 2 cents.

Track Being Held Back?? I don't think so.

I would say Track is leading the way with core/cover technology. Plus some very cool marketing. Fig is the man!!

We are definately leading the industry.

I love the robo rule. However for every ounce of me that loved the robo rule. The rising is my go to ball. I don't care what the condition is. The rising is stronger on the back then the robo and even with the robo being particle it won't roll as fast as the rising. I have yet to roll a solid reactive ball that rolled as fast and still turned on the back. Now the only thing I would like to see is a rising with particles added to the HP Generation 1 cover. Heck and because it would be the first particle in almost 2 years from the ebonite plant it could be called the rising tide.

I also would not be shocked to see some particle stuff come back. With the usbc making there limits to how pores a cover can be. This brings a need for particles as the new oils come out.

Until the Uprising comes out, definitely the Rising and Kinetic Energy for the Heavy oil.  I actually prefer the Kinetic Energy over the Rising due to the K.E. being much stronger midlane.

Those balls dont compare.
Resurgence has one of the strongest, more able to handle oil covers. The "One" true heavy oil ball out of all of Ebonite's pours is Resurgence

K.E. gets great length and has the same crazy backend as the original Kinetic, but starts a little earlier than original

K.E. will be longer than Resurgence
Resurgence will hook more and recover more in oil
K.E. might be a good choice for a broken down shark, but not if its fresh...pending on your speed and rev rate

When you are selling as much as Ebonite and Hammer, then you just may be leading the industry. Maybe around 10 years from now? If bowling is still alive?

X.E.

I'm talking Technology. But I'm positive we are going to see some great sales numbers this year with the new releases.

I keep one at 1000. It is a pin down, 4.5 from pap, 45 degree mass bias, extra hole. It is very smooth but it really didn't make the ball hook a ton. It just smoothed out the shape and it is a very good ball now for strong backends or wet/dry. It certainly changed the shape but overall hook, maybe 1-2 boards, if anything at all.

well, heres the fact.. I just got it drilled the other day.. I used yesterday on a heavy oil flat pattern.. It just skidded and didn't get to the pocket.. so, I'm thinking about scuffing it with an abralon 500..would this work?? or is the ball not really suited for use in heavy oil?
