The ENFORCER is a mixture of the past, present and future. First, Track modified the original Triton Heat core (made it smaller) from the past and added a flip block on top. Track then wrapped the new "Power Rev" core in their state of the art Pro Traction coverstock from the present. This combination of core and coverstock gives the ENFORCER the highest hook potential and most hitting power of any Track ball ever designed. The ENFORCER'S ball reaction truly makes it the ball for the future! The specifications are: Ball Construction: Modified Four-Piece Design; Recommended Lane Condition: Heavy Oil (box finish-sheen), Medium Oil (polished); Hook Rating: 20 (On Track's Ball Reaction Chart) Most of any Track ball; Flare Potential: Medium to High; Core Design: "Power Rev" Technology; Radius of Gyration: 2.487; Differential: .047; Coverstock: Pro Tracktion; Color: Enforcer Red with White logo fill; Finish: Sheen; Pin Placement: 0-5 inches; Hardness: 76-78; Weights: 10-11 lbs. (traditional pancake core design), 12-13 lbs. (Core 2 Technology core design), 14-16 lbs. ("Power Rev" core design).

I've been playing with my enforcer for about a week now and wow i really love it. drilled mine for a big back end reaction and it certainly does that.  on our classic league shot there is usually a big puddle,yet the enforcer revs early enough and still has a strong back end reaction to rip rack after rack. another winner from track.

I got the Enforcer a couple of days ago. I used it for the first time in out of the box condition. Their wasn't enough oil to get the ball 20 feet. I quickly polished it (10 minutes in Luster King machine) since I own a Champ that's dull and I really don't need two dull proactives. My Enforcer is drilled for early roll (10:30 drilling like my Champ). The Enforcer got through the heads clean and made a mad turn to the pocket at about 45 feet. Strange thing though, the ball seemed to speed up from the breakpoint to the pocket. This change in speed allowed for excellent carry. I've only thrown this ball 3 games so my experience with it is limited to light oil in the heads with light carry down. On that condition the ball was a monster. I give this ball a 9.5 (10 is impossible).

I drilled my Enforcer with a 4 x 2 dill pattern with a hole on the PAP.  I tried it out of the box first and the ball was a monster, making a large move and setting in up in the pocket.  The shot i drilled it for was the Masters tournament on Long Island. The ball rolled excellent but the carry was less than i had hoped, I left way to many weak tens, where my battle zone easily carried them out.  I later shined the Enforcer up to ebonite 5000 polish.  This gave me the added length i needed and my carry went up tremendously.

I also drilled a ball with the exact same drill pattern for a bowler with a 90 degree axis tilt, and out of the box, this ball reacted tremendously.  I think i will drill another Enforcer and drill it much weaker and test out the reaction. Will keep you all posted.

BOUGHT THE ENFORCER A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. THE BALL HAD A 3" PIN AND A TOP

WEIGHT OF 2 3/4 OZ. HAD IT DRILLED DOUBLE STACKED LEVERAGE PIN AT 12:00

PIN AND CG 3 3/8 FROM PAP. THE BALL WAS POLISHED.

TRIED IT OUT ON A MEDIUM OIL CONDITION AND IT HOOKED ALOT BUT I KNEW IT

WASN'T A MEDIUM CONDITION BALL WITH THE LEVERAGE DRILLING.

THEN I WAITED FOR LEAGUE NIGHT WERE A HEAVIER OIL PATTERN WAS ON THE LANES

AND BOY DID IT OPEN UP THE LANES AND SLAM THE PINS. I SHOT A 696 SERIES THAT

NIGHT MY BEST SERIES THIS SEASON IN LEAGUE.

THE ENFORCER HAS A LITTLE MORE BACKEND THAN THE CHAMP BUT YOU GOTTA HAVE

OIL IN THE HEADS AND MID LANE TO MAKE THIS BALL WORK.

THIS BALL IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR AN HEAVY OIL BALL.

1rst. Thanks "Leftytester" for your opinion about the ball. 2nd.Thanks Brian Pursel for your time and patient in giving me a drilling that works for my low-track release. 3rd. Bowlers with problems in oily conditions should go for this ball. After bowling with it for a month my average has jumped up from 190s to 200s. 4th. And I have been thinking about driling another one or maybe try the Storm 2000 or the Carbide.

Best Wishes!

WOW!!  I've tried many a well known proactive for heavy oil.

None of them had the good stuff I was looking for over on the left side.  Early roll (from the particles) combined with big back end!

This ball appears to have it.  Drilled label by my ball driller Ron

Dixon of Keglers Corral in Boynton Beach Fla(AMF lanes)  Pin at 4inches and CG at about 5.

This ball on a just oiled condition(not as heavy as some tournaments I've been in lately!)  As a tweener on the left I usually stand on 19 to 25 and throw around 10 to 12.  With this ball I was standing at 32 and throwing around 19!  I've never been this deep.

In comparison my Y2K Millinium (which is a hell of a ball) early start on heavy oil and biigg backend I was standing on 26 throwing over 12.  I had never had this type of seperation before.

Other balls I had tried to fill this heavy oil tournament slot were

the Complete Chaos, Spike HPT, Pro Zone Azure, and La Nina.  All came close but all lacked something.  To be fair to all of them this is the first time I tried this drilling on a proactive.

So whether it was the drilling, the coverstock, or the flare cap(for extra backend I think from Track literature it appears to work well.

I'll repost after trying on a "Flood the Lefties" condition.

Strike on!

this ball been fun to learn. This ball will hook when it smells dry board the way I drill it up. The ball will hit the pocket hard and carry great. Both the Assassin and Enforcer are great balls to have. They hit the same but hook differently. My suggest is to get both balls.

I like the Enforcer and all Ball Reviews of this Web. So, I really feel sad and pissed when some bowlers show their lack of education and destroy the image of this interesting sport that feel proud of playing.

Best Wishes to All

As I mentioned in my review of the Track Assassin (May 22, 2000), I wanted to see how the Enforcer would stack up against the Latham shot used in my summer scratch league at Southwyck Lanes in Toledo.  Using a 3 3/8" X 3 3/8" drilling with a 3 ounce top weight (I was shooting for 2 1/2) and a 2" pin, the Enforcer does get the earlier roll, perhaps a little too early.  When the shot was fresh (around 40' of head oil), I played outside the first arrow (sometimes out to the first board), and the ball was hitting heavy.  It was not until the second game when the ball was truly in the pocket, thanks to a little carrydown.  The Enforcer gets the job done in heavy oil.  I'm curious, however, to see how it does with 45-50' of skid!

This is my second review of the Track Enforcer; my first was on 6/14/00.  I used this ball on my summer scratch challenge league at Southwyck Lanes last Wednesday (ball drillings and dynamics listed in first review).  We rolled on the same condition used in the 2000 PBA National Championship:  fifty feet of skid!  After a few adjustments in the first game, I finished with 206 and 192 respectively.  I played down-and-in (over second arrow, standing around the first!), making sure I promoted plenty of forward roll.  There was very little hook and VERY little margin of error, but I got the job done.  My faith in Track continues to grow, as this ball (as well as the Assassin) has amazed me yet again!  Next month I'll be competing in the PBA Headquarters Regional tournament in Fort Wayne, IN.  I'll be taking my Enforcer and Assassin with me, hoping for some good results!

I recently purchased an Enforcer, and have thrown it for the last two weeks in summer leagues. I had it polished using ProTracktion as recommended by my pro shop driller. I abosolutely LOVE this ball! I makes one of the most powerful turns to the pocket I have seen in any ball!  I shot 704 with it the first time I threw it. There was medium oil from 10 to 10, with mild backends.  Didn't matter...the Enforcer turned left and destroyed rack after rack.  I only left 2 ten pins in the series, but also a couple of 8's.  I also like the fact that I can play deeper inside with this ball, or straighter down the boards.  It's quite versatile.  But I've found that my speed must be consistent.  I cannot baby this ball. This was my first Track ball ever, and I'm going to buy more!  I also throw a lot of Storm stuff, but my next purchase will be the Track Silencer.  Thanks,Track. I have heard about your equipment from many people, but finally experienced it myself.  You've got a new customer!

I'd like to chip in on the Scott Sterbenz Joe Carter debate.





I've reviewed this ball before and very favorably.  At that time





I was impressed with how many boards proactive balls covered on medium to medium heavy conditions but when I got on really heavy stuff in tournaments they all seemed to back off somewhat.  I've recently had better luck with some old fashioned reactives.  They seem to just start almost as early as the proactives and have more continuation,recovery, and carry in the backend.  My favorites right now are the Lane#1 solid Rasberry and the Pantera from Ebonite for soup.





One thing to note is that the Track Enforcer comes out of the box with a sheen finish and I think that the Chaos comes 600 matte, this may have some sort of effect on the ability to handle soup.





I've noticed a near similar reaction as Scott Sternbenz notes.





I can hit the pocket on medium to medium heavy but I leave a lot of corners but when I go to the heavy soup I have a lot of skid and just a little bit of a move at the backend that won't always carry.





Maybe I should have scuffed up with a scotch brite or have had a drilling with the CG kicked out for an earlier start in the soup.





I still think of this as one of the best particle balls, but I now think of particle balls as being when you have fresh backends and want an arching reaction on the backend.  For truly long oil patterns I think long live reactives!





Lucky Lefty

PS a quick modification here on 11/30/00

I just recently put a weighthole on my PAP to take this ball from 1/2 positive to 1/2 negative side weight.  This ball is no longer curling behind the head pin and leaving 7 pins.  I also think that this ball may work much better than it has on a flat oil pattern of heavy soup.  I'll let you know soon!

I don't know what ball Scott Sterbenz is throwing, but all the reviews I've read of Enforcer are nothing like he describes.  I know that my Enforcer REALLY HOOKS like crazy in HEAVY oil!  I disagree with his statement at the end of his review, where he tells people to "stay away from this ball and save their money".  Just because the Enforcer doesn't work for him and his wife doesn't mean the ball doesn't perform well in heavy oil.  I suggest he look at their drilling patterns.  Are they recommended by Track?  How hard are you throwing the ball?  Have you tried different releases/hand positions?  Something is just not right here?  Too many people are giving the Enforcer a "thumbs up" review for Scott to trash the ball and it's makers. The people at Track make great equipment!  I repeat....THE BALL ABSOLUTELY HOOKS A TON IN HEAVY OIL!!!! And it consistently carries corner pins as well! If the ball doesn't work for you Scott, fine.  Buy something else.  But don't tell everybody not to buy one just because you don't like it!
