Triton TKO-Contender
« on: December 31, 1969, 06:00:00 PM »
The Triton TKO-Contender features Track’s new state of the art Pro Traction with TEC coverstock. Pro Traction with TEC offers performance never seen in the bowling industry.  It hooks on the heaviest of oil patterns and yet, does not burn up before bowlers finish their three games during league.  This amazing new coverstock material is wrapped around the Triton Elite core design, Track’s best selling core design of all times.  The combination of core and coverstock makes the TKO Contender the most versatile big hooking ball ever.  The specifications are:  Ball Construction: Multiple-Density Three-Piece (same as Triton Elite);   Recommended Lane Condition: Heavy Oil; Hook Rating: 20 (On Track’s Ball Reaction Chart);   Flare Potential: Medium; Core Design: Core 2 Technology;  Radius of Gyration: 2.503;  Differential: .0476;  Coverstock: Pro Traction with TEC;  Color: Blue/Purple with Yellow/Orange logo fill;  Finish: Sheen;  Pin Placement: 0-4.5 inches;  Hardness: 76-78;  Weights: 12-16 lbs. (core 2 technology)—10-11 lbs., (traditional pancake core design).

I had been having a hard time on heavier oil recently, so I pulled my Contender out of storage.  I haven't used this ball for 2 years and shot 751 with it.  It's still in the bag for those slick nights.  I knew this ball was good for something!

I love this ball.  I had purchased it right when it had came out but decided to redue my equipment and gave it to my brother.  A few weeks ago my heavy oil cracked and not having the cash to go out and by a new one I decided to see if my brother would let me have my Contender back. I am glad he did.  I have had this ball back for 2 days now and thus far it has totally made me want to kick myself for giving it away.  2nd day I had it back I shot a 247 with it.  Noticed though that I had to slow the ball down a little bit it order for it to get the hard backend snap that it one had, and when it hit the pocket it crushed the pins. Going to try hitting it with a scotch brite pad tonight and give it a resurfacing job hoping that it will allow me to get more speed on the ball.  Overall verify satisfied with this ball

The #3 Track ball I've bought many moons ago.  Just wanted to give a little shot-out to one of the 2 balls I've bowled a sanctioned 300 with.  Layout found here: http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=5210302

Back in the day when I was a stroker, this was my go to ball when conditions became too rough for my Champ.  Instead of redrilling it, I've decided to resurface and retire this great ball, replaced by the Power Machine.  To me, this should be one of Track's most remembered balls, on the level of the old but great NRG.
