Perfect Ball!!!...The Tantrum from Track is one of the best balls I have ever bought. Pin Placement 2-3 inches, the pin underneath my ring finger slightly to the right, and I bowled on the PBA Experience Shark Pattern lets just say this ball ate up the competition. OOB(Out of Box) it is absolutely beautiful and down the lane it is an absolute beast. This ball blasts the pins in half.  The best way to describe this ball is that it reminds me of an updated Raw Hammer Doom. This ball will hook on any lane condition. If you are worried about Track don't hesitate add this one to your arsenal you wont be disappointed.

This was the first ball that I tested at Bowlnanza and boy was I amazed! I was standing about 25 and I actually missed right and it went to about 5. I turned my back, because I didn't give it a chance and when I looked back it was flush pocket. I don't use finger inserts and the first shot felt a little weird and I grabbed it a bit at the bottom. I changed lines and played 22 to 8 and the ball really performed great! This will be a big hit in the Track lineup! Thanks, Bruce

Let me tell you about my experience with the new Tantrum, this ball is amazing i mean i have the one two punch with the temper/tantrum, i drilled them both the same...

Pin to VAL: 3 1/2
MB to VAL: 2 1/2
Pin to PAP: 6
Pap: 5 7/8 7/8^

Let me tell you the Temper get's down the lane and smooth as you would want a ball to be, but the Tantrum get's through the heads like butter and rips its clothes off in the backend you got to love it, i mean i get atleast a 5 board difference with the Tantrum everyone needs to have Track in there Bag....

Track has done it again with the tantrum. This is a very good ball for a light house shot 38-40ft. Ball is drilled the only that track recommends for a standard player. Look on the drilling instructions at track.com. I'm swingin from 13 board to 3 board and watch it roar back hits like a ton of bricks. Throwing it about 16 to 17 mph. I'm a tweener as far as revs go. I'm a 190 average bowler. I hated this ball with box finish got a over and under reaction, and ball went way to long also if i played inside 15 it just wouldn't come back with the polish on it even when i slow it down to 13 mph.   I took it down to 2000 abralon and it is perfect. With box finish 1st week I had it I shot 580. The next week with 2000 abralon I shot 604 and I missed alot of the spares i had, but ball reaction was perfect. I slowed it down to 14.5 mph just to see how far it would hook back with new 2000 abralon finish and it would go brooklyn or hit the 4 pin even some. I could play anywhere and it would come screamin back. Good Job Track on another one.

I wanted a ball that goes long when the lanes break down. I drilled this one 5 x 5. Here is a picture of the layout:  http://http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr81/RCKYURWLD/New_Drillings_Fall2008/12Tantrum.jpg

I wanted a reaction that would not be radical, so I placed the MB next to the thumb. I threw this ball with the box finish which is 1000 polished on a softer surfaced synthetic house shot that was eroded pretty well in game 3. I swung the ball from 30 out peaking at 10 and the ball went long and flipped into an angular roll and crushed pocket. I loved the reaction and hit, but feel the need to adjust the surface for more length. I like this ball. It makes me realize just how great it will roll with other layouts. Track is Back!  

Readability, 10
Hit 10

Bowler Specs: PAP- 5 3/16> x 1/2^, tweener, rev dominate player, 15.5- 16.8 mph (quibeca), high tracker

Layout: ---O-O-p------                        Surface: 2k
--------------------xh
-----------------cg---
------------O--mb-----

I presently have the kinetic & kinetic energy, i got this ball to be a step down when the kinetic has too much backend motion. This is definitely the result i was looking for with excellent length and a hard arcing motion off the breakpoint. The oob surface caused the ball to be too skid/ flippy (similar to the kinetic) so decided to take it up and that was "what the doctor ordered." The solid coverstock definitely needs oil in the heads but the mid and backend read is tremendous for the price range. The color is not that appealing as it moves down lane, but the resulting carry you receive more than compensates.

TANTRUM specs:
16lbs
pin 3 1/4"
Drilling: 4 1/2 x 4 3/4 no X hole
PAP: 5 1/4 x 1 3/8 up
--- Layout comes out that the pin is above the bridge MB kicked 3/4" right of thumb.

REACTION: Ball is excellant on short oil patterns (viper/cheetah) and Lighter volume house shots. The Tantrum is extremely clean through the front and has a very nice smooth arcing backend motion.
