Starting Top Weight: 3.2

Ball Weight: 15.2


DRILL PATTERN

Pin to PAP: 3 3/4

CG to PAP: 2 inches

X Hole (if there is one): none


BOWLER STYLE

PAP/Track: Over 6 1/4 Up 15/16


SURFACE PREP

Grit: Sanded to a 1000

Type: (Matte, Polish, Sanded): Normally 500, 1000 SIAAIR / CROWN FACTORY COMPOUND


LANE CONDITION

Length: 41'

Volume: 27 ml

Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): THS


BALL REACTION

Length: A little long with out of box. Just knock the surface off to accommodate.

Back End: A great amount of back end

Overall Hook: Allows me to open my angles and play 4th and 5th arrow with confidence. Should also be a straight players dream to use when you get forced left usually.
 
Midlane Read: Personally my Tempo didn't see the middle as much as I thought it would. Once I hit it with 1000 grit abralon pad, it rolled fantastic.

Breakpoint Shape: It's a sharper motion in my opinion.


COMMENTS

Likes: I love the fact that it allows me to move left and not feel like I have to use a bigger ball to go left to right on the pattern. Love the color. It's money green! Who doesn't like money? This one will be a steal for the price.

Dislikes: The out of box for me is just a little to long. But that's a pretty weak dislike in my opinion. Nothing that can't be fixed with a touch of surface.

LANE CONDITION

Length: 40-ish

Volume: light

Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): THS


COMMENTS

Likes: Track's first two bowling balls at the new plant were both big solids (Proof & Latitude, love them both) so it was nice that their third ball is a low-ish differential core, 0.038 and pearl cover stock. That gives us Track fans a ball to drop down to when the transition is taking hold. Some houses have the "straighter is greater" carry to them and that will fit there too. I drilled mine to have a smooth motion. It does exactly what I was looking for. Very clean through the heads and mid-lane and a smooth rounded shape down lane. I have seen several video's & talked to a few people that had this ball drilled to do the skid flip shape as well with good success. It seems to be pretty versatile. Work with our Pro Shop and I'm sure they can help to get you the shape you're looking for.  Love the color too. Money Green.$$

Dislikes: None so far.

The Track Tempo was slated as a Mid Performance ball, and that it is with a RG of 2.56 and Dif of 0.038 this ball will give you good length and a smooth motion. From the factory it is 500/1000 with Factory Compound( you might want to knock this off for a little more reaction, but I would throw it first ) Great ball when the lanes go through that transition and you want to keep your angles tight and still have good hitting power.. See you local Pro Shop and get one in your bag

LANE CONDITION

Length:43

Volume:MED

Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc):THS


COMMENTS

Likes:The Track Tempo is fire for drier lane conditions! The Tempo drilled 60x6x20 allows me to play on any part of the lane. I can play up the boards or move way in and never seems to disappoint. It hard to get it to burn up from to much friction and recovers without being to sharp off the friction which I love. It gets through the fronts very easy without trying to push it though and the carry percentage with is amazing. Continuation is key and having the Tempo will get you there. It being a mid performance ball you will get your money worth!

I decided to try a short pin layout on this ball and I really like it.  I have to amend the drill and val angles for my bowling style and it took a few tries with other balls but these work the best for me.  I can play the lanes straighter when there is oil, move left when they are dry, when the lanes transition, this ball does it all.  The reaction is very clean through the fronts and has a mooth transition at the breakpoint with this layout.  This ball has good continuation through the pins, great color and reaction.
