My review attempt #1

Strike, Strike, Strike Strike, Strike, Strike, 7 pin, Strike Strike, Strike, Strike, Strike, Strike, Strike, bucket, Strike, Strike, Strike, Strike, Strike.
I like this ball so far.

Attempt #2. "I luft the Voodoo, That wou do, oh so Vell!" Madeline Kahn,
"Blazing Saddles"

Attempt #3 But seriously folks!

I thought I might like this ball. After my posts about drillings I'd seen work and not work on this ball, (see Track Forums). I followed my own advice and told my proshop operator to put my Pin near my ring finger and kick the cg out and down below the grip center point. This 4 inch pin out ball then ended up about 4 X 3 1/2 with the pin next to ring finger, cg down and kicked out a little and a weighthole down the VAL about equal on the North South line with the Thumb.

This ball does exactly what I wanted. It is my Ti Messenger that was a little too long many times(drilled label leverage with finger weight). and my Too early revving Wicked (drilled label leverage)slightly corrected to exactly what I think I want.

Lots of early revs like the wicked but not quite as early revving. Earlier than my fingerweight Ti Messenger. Same big hit as the Ti with a slightly more angular move at the breakpoint. (More rounded than Voodoos with the CG at the grip center line).

I have used this sort of revs leverage drilling before with a stronger cover and core Pantera and it had worked great for me. Now with a slightly weaker Pin to Pap setup but a similar CG down drilling I've got a flippy ball slightly earlier and rounder but still retain a real strong move and hit to the pocket.

I compare this reaction to a drilling I've used in the past. 3 3/8 X 2 weighthole on the PAP but this Voodoo- CG down combo has a similar early rev, more flip and hit move (still lots of control) it really has a lot more hit.

This ball could possibly become my go to ball even ahead of my incredible Demolition Zone(wait I didn't say that did I?). Because of this drilling more control and it matched beautifully with the types of league conditions I see on the left, thick head oil and moderate to strong backends. Note that as a player with a pretty strong side release(near 60) a problem I often have is lots of 7s as my ball often gets too far down the lane and then makes a very angular break due to side roll. This CG down drilling solves a lot of that for me.

REgards,

Luckylefty
PS If this great ball rolls out too early on me(CG is down almost 1.5 inches below grip center midline) I may get another and raise the cg a bit. This is one of the best balls in the game today.

Ok finally enough games to make a review

. After talking to a few people on here i've decided not to sand it down, but instead put about 30+ games worth on it. My 1st experience with this ball was that it was to erratic for me and snap too much. But after all the games i put on it, the ball began to settle down and give me a really readable hook with a tons of backend

. Out of the last 20 games or so i've known a big improvement of my average. Out of 20 games i've have been hitting the pocket consistantly without a problem, average about 1 or 2 off target but nothing big. The pattern i use is 4x4. Even though it's not made for too much oil but i've found out with a little more revs this ball do just fine. This ball is by far beside the Messenger Ti are the best ball for the money and maybe even more. This ball is a confident giver, find the right line and strikes are not far behind. Good job Track.

I had the voodoo drilled 41/2x31/2 under pin. I rolled a 279,256,279 for 814. The best ball ever that I have thrown. Ialso won the IN state singals.

well here goes on the voodoo I got this ball about a week ago and have rolled it about 18 games or so here is the verdict on this ball it reads the lanes great it goes down and has strong and i do mean STRONG BACK ENDS i have got this ball back from board 5 to the pocket from about 52 feet down the lane and the carry is unbelievable it hits like a mack truck pins stay low. the only problem i have had so far is that if you make a mistake to the inside and i mean a big mistake you are almost guarteed a split and a nasty one at that.
out of those 18 games i bowled I've shot 3 games over 240, 2 games in the 230's, my low game is a 174 and that was more my fault than the balls all admit i haven't proven what this ball can do yet.

Look back for another review after i have thrown more games with it

who do the voodoo like i do

VooDoo, 15 lbs, 2.75 oz of tw, 4 inch pin

Drilled 4x4 and shined with one coat of Magic Shine. After 75 games this ball is still going strong. Used on a myriad of shots. To the ball, the length you expect from a shiny reactive nothing great, although the move is. Strong and continous not a wild snap but a hard arc. People this arc keeps going. Do not and I repeat Do not miss left with this ball because you will pay the ultimate penalty. Give this ball room and you will be watching this ball make sweet love to the pocket all night long. This ball carries everything. I often walk off the approach shaking my head "wondering" how did I carry that. This ball sends more messengers than AOL. For me and many of my friends this ball is very speed sensitive and not very forgiving if you miss left. Like most reactives this ball is not for heavy oil. Needless to say this is my "benchmark ball". This is a great ball.

Got this ball at the beginning of the bowling season. I'm a medium speed, medium revs bowler. Ball is drilled 3 3/8x3 3/8 I think...Had some problems early with some over/under. I hit the surface with a green scotchbrite pad which made it much more consistant but too strong for my league condition. I hesitated to polish it based on earlier reviews of this ball. So I went to my driller to purchase a Brunswick Monster Scream/R. While I was there, I figured since I had another ball to rely on, I'd have him take my Voodoo down to 600 and back up to slightly less than out of box. What a difference! This ball now is perfect for the freshly oiled tophat pattern on wood lanes for my Thurs league. The ball gets fairly good length with a solid hard arc to the pocket. Carry is tremendous and have had 2-230+ games with it the last 2 weeks, which for me are good games. Only negative is now I have a new Scream/R begging to be used, but haven't needed to go to it.

Oh I love this ball! It's my official "go-to" ball when the lane starts to go all freaky on me. I have my ball drilled with the pin just above my middle finger for skid/snap reaction. It has a very predictable move to the pocket and carries the 7 pin (I'm LH) for me when I need it the most! Definitly worth the money!

I have wanted to try this ball since the day it came out. Sorry I waited.

Very good med oil ball. I do not see this ball being used unless the backends are flying.

After seeing how it worked on the lanes I decided to fill a void I have in my bag. I took the Voo Doo and polished it with 4 coats of Controll it. Probably not what most people would do with this ball, but it worked great. I got an extra 10 ft of length and did not lose the big backend move it has. I think it is much more controllable off of the breakpoint now.

This ball hits very hard, it reminds me alot of the TI Messenger.

I give the Voo Doo a very strong 8.5 out of 10. Not a ball to use in carry down, but when you have fresh backends.....this is the one to use.

Ball Specs: 15lb, ??tw, 3.5" pin.

Picked up this gem on ebay used with 20 games on it. Ball was fully plugged so no added investment needed. Drilled it with the pin above ring, cg is 1" from PAP with a weight hole. Coverstock looked dulled, definately not polished as it is out of the box. I would say it was about 800 grit.

Threw it on my Thursday night 1st shift, 2nd game, med/hvy n the middle, dry outside of 5. The ball was money. Definately a ball you can swing. I had this ball going over 13 at the arrows and out to 5 before it made a tremendous flip and came storming back to the pocket. As I said, because of the dulled cover it gives the ball an earlier read and more midlane, a definate plus for me.

Threw it again on my Friday night 2nd shift, med heads, some carrydown. Again this ball shines. Get it outside, crank it up and it will come back. I continue to wonder why I waited so long to hop on one of these, I am glad I have one now. This is my favorite Track ball thus far.

Before I end it, let me talk about the "hit" of the ball. It isnt super like most of the new Track stuff is. Dont get me wrong, this ball will carry a bit, but wont send messengers flying around like the newer stuff. Although, that could be because of the dulled coverstock burning up a bit before it hits the pocket. All in all, a solid performer. Overall a 9.5 out of 10.

Great ball for medium oil lanes. decent carry leaves the 10 every once in a while. Doesn't mix that well though so light hits leave groups of pins.

bowlerXXL · « **Reply #28 on:** May 02, 2005, 08:55:45 PM »

I bought this ball used so I don't have the specs but it is drilled label leveraged. It's got about 2.5 inches of pin w/ balance hole. I really like the hit of this ball. It's very powerful and of course it's track so you know it's a banana on the backend. The cover is really strong for me and I find that there aren't too many shots in my area where it can be utilized. This seems to be one of track's better balls and if I ever get the chancet to roll it I know its a beast on the lanes.

Greetings!

Wanted to make the Track types a bit jealous so will post a review of my Voodoo..*laugh*

My specs are on my profile...

Drilled 5 1/4 X 5 1/4. This places the pin centered above my bridge and the CG in center of grip. Ball was hit with Delayed Reaction to fit under my Xception for drier conditions.

This is the best ball Track has made in my humble opinion. With the delayed reaction it just glides through the heads and makes a smooth move once it encounters friction. On a normal league inside wet/outside dry type shot I can play up the twig all day. When the heads go can move deep and get great length and controllable reaction. The hit on this ball is still right up there with anything out there now.

This is one that will be in my bag for quite a long time.

Thanks for reading!
