Last week I was back at Ebonite in Hopkinsville, KY and had the opportunity to test-drive the Kinetic Energy with a group of the Track Staff Players.

We had four patterns to test the ball on. The centers House Pattern, 2004 Masters Pattern, Last Years Panama Invitational Pattern, and Ebonite's Heavy Oil Test Pattern.

I mapped the ball out pin up 5" from my PAP and the Mass Bias at 45°. The surface comes 2000 Abralon with Factory Finish Polish and this is the surface I used to test the ball.

As everyone knows, the original Kinetic is one of the strongest skid flip balls on the market right now. The Kinetic Energy is about 2 feet shorter in length and a good 3-5 boards stronger than the original Kinetic.

As I went through the different patterns with the ball it was quickly apparent how versatile this ball is going to be. All I had to do was changes angles, hand positions, or speed and I could easily get to the pocket consistently.

The Kinetic Energy is going to be a great compliment to the original Kinetic or even The Rising.

Track Bowling is a Core Driven Technology company that produces the best Skid/Flip ball reaction in the industry. We put the "Wow Factor" in ball reactions.

After visiting the factory and learning what is coming in the future is truly amazing. We have equipment coming down the line that will absolutely put Track on top as the Porsche of the high-end ball market.
