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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

1. You must stroke the ball in oil,and not throw with too much speed.
2. When you stroke it on flooded conditions, the pin carry is great
when you hit the pocket.
I'm just surprised to hear someone say that the Enforcer does not
hook much. Hooks more than any reactive or particle ball I've owned, and I've had several of them. I hope this review helps someone. Good bowling to you!

The ball react great and hitts very well, it is a good ball for oil when it is dull and if I polish it it works well on dry lanes but this ball is realy hard to control on patchy lanes.
A very good ball 9/10

Now my enforcer is resurfaced and polished and usefull on dry lanes.
pin inch to the right of the thumb hole. i think this ball is a must have. to bad its getting old. itll always be number one for me. Aids me in dry lanes. Was once a soaker, but still getting bettewith age. Pin to the right of the finger holes. Im right handed and a power tweener. Great ball, one of track's best.

Drilled it approx 5"x5" pin directly over the fingers, and cg right in the middle. Thankfully I did not have this ball drilled strong as it hooks a ton like this, even after polished. It is pretty difficult to get shine out of this ball, I suspect I need some different polish for this coverstock, which is a dirt magnet.
First night 264,269,213 (746) in couples league. The best I've bowled in a while. That being said, I'm not to sure how much I like this ball. Oil is an absolute must, even shiny. The hit is more a heavy thud sounding strike, rather then a sharp "cracking" sound. The reaction is pretty even, need a couple more sets on before I make any ratings. It carries thin hits well, but leaves a ton of 4 pins if on the high side. I'd like to get a little better shine on it and maybe it will save some energy. Any info on particle ball polish appreciated.
Bye

Enforcer
Lanes: Synthetic, Oiled about 38-40 last 5 boards medium oil
Lane condition: Heavy Oil to Medium Oil.
Bowling style: Tweener but can play straight up or a deep swing line.
Med. speed, medium revolutions.
Ball: The Enforcer with 2 1/2“ Pin out, drilled 4“ X 3“, CG on the grip mid line, BH 1†past the PAP.
Assessment: I finally got the opportunity to purchase one and I thank God for that. This ball works great on all conditions. On an oily shot straight down and in, on the medium oil shot same line adjusted board for board as the lanes dry out, and on dry conditions you can keep moving left or bring up the speed and this ball just keeps kicken ass.
It also tends to hold the surface pretty good when changing from polished to scuffed up. The only thing negative and I mean the ONLY thing is that it gets dirty fairly easy, but that’s nothing Clean N’ Dull(Simple Green) can’t fix. I am so impressed by this ball that if I find another one I will be purchasing it without hesitation. I’m a league player so I do have alot of games on it already and it hasn’t even given me the slightest hint of diminished reaction.
I can safely say that the Enforcer has truly earned it’s place as one of the greatest balls of all time.
I give this ball a 9.9.

This ball is a little old but it is the best oil ball i have thrown. It sure beats the colossus. After about 45 games and the same maintence, i havent had to change the coverstock at all. Just clean it up with a little 1500 every now and then since it attracks dirt like a magnet. The difference in this ball and the colossus with the same drilling and cover finish, is that the enforcer gets a lot of length and still a lot of hook. It has more of a controllable hard arc while the colossus come in flatter. It can also be used on medium heavy and even on medium oil with a few adjustments. It crushes, few tens but other than that if you hit is flush, they will fall.
Greatness

Likes: Great ball on oil, out of box surface conquers almost all oil. There is no ball that hits harder than the Enforcer, not even my AZO or Visionary equipment. Carry is great on all angles in or out.
Dislikes: The ball attracts more dirt than Clutch attracts women.
After putting some games on my Enforcer I noticed it's very user friendly. I have only bowled on house shots but there wasn't a condition I couldn't find a line on. This ball will continue to recover from the dry as you move in deeper with each adjustment. The only time I'd suggest using another ball is on lighter oil patterns. I've used this ball with success on second shift used house shots, but needed to play very deep and keep my speed high. On heavier oil I can also play straight up the arrows with the same success. The Enforcer is pretty adaptable to release changes between high and low tracks, using whatever for specific conditions.
This ball is a very good older piece of equipment that reminds us Track was great before the Morpheus core came into play. So good, I bought five other Enforcers for future use.

As for this Enforcer, if you can find one, buy it.
This would make a great ball for the novice bowler going from a straight ball to a hook. It also makes a nice ball for those of us with a few years in the game who need a predictable, versatile ball.
I've used this ball on everything from the oiliest tournament conditions down to a dry-side-of-medium house shot. I can play a variety of shots, lines, speeds and the ball always seems to find its way back to the 1-3.
It definitely prefers oil, and I can definitely sympathize with the earlier reviewer who says the ball hits more with a "thud" than a "crack." This is not what I'd call an explosive hitting ball. It *is* what I'd call a ball that will give you what you put into it and not cheat either you or the pins.
It carries well, but not extraordinarily so. Its weakness, predictably, is on burned-out heads. It doesn't seem to like me to ask it to cross a lot of boards.
I've also got a complaint specific to my ball, which may or may not apply to everyone else's: At just over 30 games, the ball cracked between the finger holes (I have inserts installed) and now there's a decent-sized piece of the ball missing. I was hoping manufacturers had fixed stuff like this by now.
