Post by: C-G ProShop-Carl on July 09, 2007, 07:02:47 AM
Guys/Gals I know you have heard many statements about the new Track Equipment. I have read ALOT of them throughout this entire website. If you have specific Questions please post them here. Myself or Rick will answer your questions as best we can. Both of us have had alot of exposure to the new equipment and what they do on the lanes......for every style of bowler. We will be able to answer any question you have.

Thanks,
Carl

Might have already been answered but... What is going to happen to all the other Track equipment? Like the Machine line and all the others? Will they continue to make them or did they just throw everything out the window? Thanks

- Is there going to be anything to fit the dryer end of the spectrum?
- gp2 (for some original rules) replacement? What is going to come close to that monster? if the answer is get a ebonite/hammer thats fine, just which one?
- Are all the track drill sheets going to be 360' like the ebonite ones?

How many balls will Track make a year? I keep hearing that Track will not be on tour this year from a lot of people. I also heard that Track will only get 3 balls a year. If that is true, how will people be able to make a ball arsenal around 3 balls.

I used to use track stuff many years ago but moved on to other stuff.now I find myself buying up track stuff again after EBO bought them,go figure.Sixcranker turned me on to an Inertia and I've picked up a few others since then.
but anyway here's my question.will we see anymore particle covers?one of the things I hated about Ebo/Hammer was that they droped all the particle covers and even though they have covers that soak up the oil it's not the same as a good particle ball.

The Machine line was finished when the San Antonio Plant ran its last C300 ball. The R&D team at Ebonite has some very good things in store for us.

I do not think that Track is going to venture into the dry lane area. Ebonite and Columbia Equipment both cover that very well with the Tornados and Scouts respectively.****  The strength that the Rising has is going to SHOCK a lot of people. Word at the Product Showcase from the bowlers coming down the line was that the Rising was the strongest ball there.....and we had one of the weaker layouts on the demo balls. I would not call it the "monster" that the GP2 was, because the GP2 rolled so early.....the Rising will roll early yet it will retain more energy down the lane than the GP2 did.****Not all of the drill sheets are going to be 360*, just the Rising. The ability to drill the Rising in this manner is what makes it so unique. The heavy core and the strong MB make one dangerous combination for the pins to have to face.

Track plans on having 6 releases before the end of the season. They will be on tour, the only PBA exempt bowler on staff is Mitch Beasely. You will see Track on television, it is going to be determined week to week if anyone throws it on TV or not. The equipment that Track has coming out is extremely strong...yet extremely versatile. The Rising for example is a very strong piece of equipment....but due to 360* layout process you can tame the ball down significantly. The Kenetic is extremely skid/flip, alter the surface though and you can have a ball that will rev up rather early. I firmly believe that a person could have a 6 balls arsenal with 5 Risings and a Kenetic. I know 5 of one ball is a bit of overkill, but the Rising is that versatile and it is that good. If someone wanted a Track arsenal it is very possible even with 3 releases.

I understand the concern about particle covers. Ebonite's R&D team feel that they can get a particle type reaction out of their coverstocks. Folks, these covers are extremely versatile and they are the best coverstocks on the market today. As for plans of particle, I am unsure. I would not rule anything out at this point. The future is wide open for Track, and it is going to be an awesome ride.





GREAT questions so far folks, keep them coming!

To add to my Tag Team partner's comments,

Track HAS been and WILL continue on the forefront in technology and high performance equipment.  We were never known for how good our "dry" lane equipment was but rather the strength in equipment we could provide to the public.  This is where Ron H and Randy T shine!  You folks wouldn't even believe me if I told you how many veneers (thanks to Randy T) we have at Ebonite and how far advanced Ron H is in core design and what he has planned for the future of Track.

Our goal is to bring to you guys the best possible reactions that work on today's conditions to help give all of you Track fans the advantage that you deserve.  

Carl and I not only being under Tech Support will also have quite a bit of input as to what our future Track pieces should look like.  Please feel free to tell us what "YOU" want and we'll do what we can to provide the BEST of the BEST to you!!  Thank you for being a loyal Legion member....

Not true at all Reick...all those who know me know that I can't and "don't" throw anything heavier than 14lbs....too old

Mine is 14lb buddy and there were a few more that I was trying to take until Fig *whacks me on the back of the head*...(oops, sorry boss)...but I can still out score my Tag Team partner....lol

All weights as listed.....pls lets stop the rumors. If anyone has any questions, just ask Carl or myself and we'll give you the real low down....thank you.

Hey Carl, guess we should photocopy/scan our "business" cards that we now have with Track to help stop any incorrect rumors?  I'll do mine...coming very soon ladies and gents.

scotts,

This had nothing to do with Visionary. This topic was started due to all of the speculation surrounding Track Equipment. Every seems to have heard something differet. Rick and I just want to set it straight.

I was talking with my coach today and he mentioned the problem I may be having with transition on the sport shot is due to my equipment having too much flare.  I did confirm that the flare rings were quite wide on the Black Widow Monday.  Anyhow, long story short, he said we may need to look at some equipment strickly for the sport shot.  He was saying more agressive equipment with low flare.  What, if anything in or coming from the Track line would be possibles?

I will also be attending an Ebonite Demo Days August 18th to check out what they have to show and try.  Thanks for any input!

An aggressive ball that has little flare is a difficult thing to find. The lowest flaring ball in our lineup is the Temper. I suspect your coach may be suggesting a high flaring ball with a low flaring layout. I know you greatly value his word, so please double check with him and see if he believes that would work. I will be able to sugget a layout to you after that point.

That may be what he was refering to.  He did talk about the layouts so I could have missed something.  It was a "something to think about" discussion not during a lesson.  And yes I do value his word.  I'll be seeing him Saturday, so I'll double check and get back.  You are probably correct.

Hey Carl and Rick, Quick question on the Mean Machine, mine was lane damaged a while back, and had to be resurfaced by the in-house proshop, ever since it has not been as aggressive as before. What is a good surface to put on this ball for a stroker on a heavy THS? or how can it be brought back to OOB?  Thanks for your time.

If you want to get the Mean Machine aggressive for a heavy oil house pattern I would suggest hitting it with a 500grit abralon pad BY HAND.....then hit it with 1000grit abralon pad BY HAND. If you need adjustment from that point let Rick or I know and we will assist you from there.

To piggyback off of this, I've see a insane change in my MM since I went to 1000 abralon a while back.  With the reduction in length and more violent backend, if the ball isn't clocked at 18-18.5 mph at the pins(starting at 35 and rolling out to 2-3) I was going through the nose-at the least.

So hopefully, this is all you need to bring your MM back.

Sorry for being off topic, but that just makes me wanna ask what's the difference between using abralon by hand and by using a spinner? And, would it make any difference by hitting the ball with 2000 first, then 1000, other than hitting it with 500, then 1000? If it does, would you mind to the differences?

abralon when used on a spinner gives me more of a shine then by hand.also you will get a better surface going lower grit to higher grit then higher to lower.it's all about opening up the pores on the ball then going to the final finish.

Carl,
I am a long time Track user from the begining, own nothing else! and was wondering what Ebonite is doing with the multi-density cores that made track what it was. Also who is making the compounds and how do the relate to what Track did with them throughout?
I have been purchasing Tracks on Ebay before you can't get them and got the Equation 2 already for this years league and tourney's and am really skeptical about Ebonite having anything to do with making Track balls.
Any advise?

Maybe this question is a bit vague, but I want to know how the new Track stuff performs compared to the old stuff (before the buyout).

Til this point in time, the Machine series is my favorite line of balls from any company ever made. I actually have a NIB Power Machine on the way due to the low pricing I've been able to find. With that said, even the mid price stuff was great. The Solutions, Heats etc...all were fantastic. In fact, Track's symmetrical stuff has been the only symmetrical stuff that really works well for me. For whatever reason, I have better luck with asymmetrical cores.

So, enough with the babbling on. How's the new stuff compared to the old stuff?

Ebonite essentially makes their own coverstocks, and they are second to none in the industry. Just look at the popularity of their equipment(and hammer's) over the past couple of years). Most of that is due to the coverstocks. As for the multiple density cores vs single density......(this was going to be my hang up for Ebonite, I really liked the old cores): The single density is just as good if not better for a few reasons.

In speaking with an EXTREMELY reliable source that held a high position with C300 in the past the multiple pieces were unreliable. They were known to shift during production and it could very well have gone undetected. Quality Control was a huge issue.

As soon as Ebonite acquired C300 I began testing different Ebonite/Hammer Equipment so that I could see if there was a difference between the single density and the multi, and there wasn't. The Ebonite Equipment performed beautifully. I saw no difference in the way the single density and the multi hit the pins and the carry was equal.

Lastly, and probably the most important difference is that Ebonite has STRONG and STABLE leadership that have a vision and work daily to achieve it. Columbia 300 was LOST for a very long time. They had alot of issues and no one really worked to correct them.

My suggestion to you is to buy a Kinetic or a Rising. Allow the equipment to show you what they can do. I have both of them and they are tremendous. Each one has a purpose and they serve that purpose well.

Maybe this question is a bit vague, but I want to know how the new Track stuff performs compared to the old stuff (before the buyout).

Til this point in time, the Machine series is my favorite line of balls from any company ever made. I actually have a NIB Power Machine on the way due to the low pricing I've been able to find. With that said, even the mid price stuff was great. The Solutions, Heats etc...all were fantastic. In fact, Track's symmetrical stuff has been the only symmetrical stuff that really works well for me. For whatever reason, I have better luck with asymmetrical cores.

So, enough with the babbling on. How's the new stuff compared to the old stuff?




Rock,

The new equipment is SWEET! I get in trouble sometimes because I cannot get myself to put it down. Everyone in the LEGION knows how much I loved the Power Machine.....the Kinetic is that ball only stronger! The cool thing about it is that the Kinetic is at a lower price point than the Power was. The Temper is basically the Phoenix....only it is a tad stronger in the backend with the same type of read in the midlane. The Rising is a different type of ball altogether. To have a weightblock weigh as much as the Rising's is sweet and it is definately visible at the pindeck. It seems to carry from any angle.

The new equipment compares favorably with the old stuff. The advantage that Track has gained with the acquisition is that the coverstocks available to be put on any given ball is seemingly limitless. On top of having so many to choose from the coverstocks are also much much stronger. The R&D team at Ebonite has done tremendous work developing these coverstocks and they are leaving the competition in the dust.

Ryan, try one of the new balls. I would suggest either the Kinetic or the Rising......but they do compmliment eachother very well so you may want both.

Just curious how they complement each other. I thought the reaction type on both of them was skid/flip. Are they each designed for different amounts of oil??

How do they compliment each other?..Very well  The Rising isn't really skid/flip, it's probably defined better as strong arc.  Typically we can't get skid/flip for any heavier oil ball due to the surface required on the ball to "handle" heavy oil.  Our Delta 1 was one of the flippier pieces I've seen for med/heavy in my career.

 
quote:

Yes Ryan, the Rising is designed for med/heavy to heavy and our Kinetic is designed for med to med heavy.  However, with our strongest mb produced to date on the Rising (.031), we can control and dictate reaction shape to what we want but surface will still not let us get to skid/flip unless we fine it and polish it perhaps.  

Remember how I stopped you from Clint's advice on the layout for the Machine (which I believe you shot 300 with) because that had a mb diff of .025? (can't remember anymore...sad)...anyway, the stronger the mb, the more we can control a ball's reaction shape.  

I'm really getting impressed with the Kinetic (sold 2 already and they're not even here yet).  Just haven't had any time to bowl but this ball has a very strong but controllable backend reaction for me on the wet/drys....great job Ron and Randy!

You know, I have to apologize for asking that question. I read Carl's response too quickly and thought he was saying that the Kinetic and the Temper would complement each other. The Rising is a totally different story. I can see how those balls would work well as a 1-2 punch.

Rick, thanks for the clarification though. And yes, I did shoot 300 with the Machine, actually, I shot 2 with it!!

Well, if the new stuff is anywhere near as good as the old stuff, I think it's safe to say that I'll like the new stuff very much.

No apologies necessary, not here in the Track forum.  The Kinetic (being stronger and skid/flip) and Temper (a little weaker and smoother) also compliment each other well.  Not only do they posses different reaction shapes, they handle different amounts of oil.  As Carl stated, our Temper is basically a Phoenix with a minor adjustment in the core. Anybody ever really interested in the Phoenix, get our Temper when it comes out and you'll have it.

I would like to publicly comment on the fact that Ebonite has lived up to their word on where the Phoenix fell compared to modern day equipment.  It did not meet standards as a high performance piece (and Ebonite did not feel it was ethical to charge high performance price when the ball did not perform to that price point) so Ebonite remade it and placed it in our "mid" performance line.  They have "never" diverted from this assessment and they lived up to their word about this.  KUDOS to you Ebonite!

What more can we ask for from a "business" these days guys/gals, truth and ethics.....they really are an extraordinary company.

i just hope the coverstocks they put on the track balls last longer than the ones they put on the ebonite balls, i have people i bowl with that clean their equipment religiously and their ebonite balls still die after 50-100 games on them

and im not talking about just a little death, im talking from going gutter to gutter to straight up the 10 board and barely making it to the pocket

thats one thing i liked about Tracks equipment, i have the Threat, have had it for 4 years or more and it still reacts the same as when i got it, every track ball i have reacts the same as when i bought it new

willie,

This is where Rick and I need to do our jobs. We have to push for maintenance on coverstocks. As a bowler I clean  my equipment after every set. I deep clean to assure that the cover does not take in too much oil and have it stay there. Clean n Dull with the proper grit scotchbrite works wonders. I have 2 TNVs and each one has over 150 games now and I have not seen a loss in reaction.

I have quite a few games on my Rising and my Kinetic and I have not seen a loss in reaction at all. Just keep them clean. To be honest I do not know if the spray cleaners deep clean enough. If you are unable to deep clean your equipment at the bowling center use Power Wash at the center then deep clean again with Clean n Dull(and proper scotchbrite) when you get home to assure a clean coverstock.

Brunner,

The proper scotchbrite is determined by the ball that you want to clean. For instance: if I wanted to deep clean my Kinetic I would use a white scotchbrite pad and Power House Clean n Dull. Apply the Clean n Dull directly onto the scotchbrite and wipe over half of the ball in small circular motions. The key here is to APPLY VERY LITTLE PRESSURE(this helps to make sure that you do not alter the grit on the surface of the ball, thus keeping it close to OOB) and spread the Clean n Dull to the point where it covers half of the ball. I allow it to sit for about 20 seconds and wipe it off with a dry towel. Repeat the same process for the other half of the ball.
When I am done I use a damp cloth and go over the surface of the ball to remove any residue that may remain.

If you were do this to a dull ball, such as the Ebonite GameBreaker you would want to use a grey scotchbrite pad.

Goodluck,
Carl

Will Track follow this procedure or will they go back to just the names of the coverstock with no regards to information of actual OOB surface? Columbia has names for their coverstocks, but thank god they actually have the surface prep listed as well.


Hey Six,

I believe this info will be on our ball talkers and/or drill sheets.  Carl and I just went over this subject with Fig as well.  I think because old Columbia and other companies bought "their" coverstocks directly that they had to rename it to not give other companies any clues as to what it was.  It also could have been a marketing strategy.

However, since Ebonite creates their own veneers (which would take a genius or fantastic chemist to replicate), they don't have to worry about duplication or replication so the finish on the end product does not have to be hidden compared to the other companies.

This is a great question showing our company as to how intelligent and informed our Track bowlers are.  Thanks Hitman...

i do this every time i bowl, so no worries about my equipment dieing, thats what im saying, i dont have any doubts about my equipment because i do keep them clean and use clean and dull on my equipment each time i bowl

have never done a hot water bath to my balls, might give it a try and see how it works

but the one guy im talking about most of all uses my clean and dull on his ebonite equipment and it still hasnt lasted, he has the Black Ice, Crossfire, V2 Sweet, and none of them reacts as good as when he first bought them, but he isnt the only one that has noticed a difference in ball reaction, but he is the only one that i know cleans his stuff like i do, because he cleans his the same way i do mine using my clean and dull

What is the strength and spin time of the assymetric cores on each ball if any have assymetric cores?...Example .025 and 6 seconds etc. etc.

Seems I heard the Rising has an assymetric core but not sure on that. However I haven't heard anything on the Kenetic and Temper cores.
 



BO,

All three releases are asymmetrical, although the intermediate diff on the Kinetic and the Temper are very very low(which makes the mb placement not nearly as important as in a stronger asym).

The Temper has a intermediate differential of .003
The Kinetic's is .006
The Risings is .031

The Rising has the highest intermediate differential put into a single density core. As far as the spin time....I am unsure on that, but I will get an answer ASAP.

Ok Carl, I got a question for ya.

I'm sure that I'm getting the Rising to be the strongest piece in my arsenal, and have been considering different drills.

As you see here, this is the drill that I have on my Contender, which despite its age is the strongest ball I have, even stronger then my MM:

http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=5210301
http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=5210287

What I'd like to know is, how would a layout like this (Contender) fare on the Rising, and more importantly, is it a good layout?
--------------------
My current arsenal-www.putfile.com/trackbowler627

High game-300

My God.  Three years after the fact, I realized that I called it the contender, when it's actually the Champ.

*Not Carl but the smaller and better looking version*

X, the layout appears to be about a 2-2.5 pin to your listed pap (in profile).  What this is doing for you is that the weight block is rotating and falling faster which is why you're getting a stronger movement.  

With the pin in this position, it is also offsetting some of your speed which then again allows for the earlier and stronger movement.   It's all still about matching up buddy.

If you were to place this drill on the Rising?  I'd have to say that you'll need some very heavy oil to be able to use it on based on your revs to speed ratio.

Have fun with this ball as well, I chose to go pin over ring with the mb strong (in Tennessee) and it gives me great length with a very strong backend (completely controllable though).  I pulled it out last nite with Dpat and his crew and had anywhere from 25 to about 7, 5-6 out was OB unless you went straight up)

I had to show the kids who was boss!... Coming back tonite for Tag Team coaching (part 2), they bugged me for it...didn't they D?

Ron and Randy really have done a great job with this ball.

Lol.  Getting a 300 still means a hell of alot to me.

Sorry if this has been asked already, but can we expect to see a new Track logo?

I like the one we currently have, just asking.

True they are.  It is also true that you never forget the first.  I still remember the brooklyn I threw in the 6th, and the very last strike-ten in the pit with my Champ.  I even remember my reaction.

Unfortunately, I still remember the 141 I shot before the 300, and the 144 I threw afterwards.

DPat stays with Brunswick because he likes shooting spares. I bet it was Rick's coaching "You have to make your spares!".....so he is using Brunswick to get more practice!!!!

Ofcourse I am only kidding.

Hit it up with Storm... Thats if your tired of waiting.

There stuff has been delayed up to two months behind.. And all the trackers do is wait it out.

I hope to have some videos soon. I know there will be some videos on the website as well.

I know that many of you are becoming impatient, understandably so. One thing that you all need to know is that each and every one of these balls are worth the wait.

The Kinetic is due out August 13. I expect this ball to make a huge splash!

HEY FASTTRACKERS!

I'm backing up Carl on the Kinetic making that 'splash'. When I threw it at the demo I went to, it definitely gave me a reaction that is what I like to call 'Track' worthy. Plus, Figs explained the direction of each brand under the umbrella of Ebonite and Track is going in the right direction...everyone just give it some time, I promise you as Carl said, this is worth the wait!!

Lol.  Yeah, I definitely wouldn't be so quick to call Storm a second rate ball.  Anyway, we've been waiting(exluding the Phoenix) since what?  December '06?  What's another couple of weeks for the kinetic, and not even two months for the Rising?

Anyway, I'm sure if you tried really hard, and shelled out some extra dough, you could get a hold of those before hand.

he also finished 3rd in earnings, second in match play appearances, 1st in Championship appearances, 2nd in season average, he also cashed in every even he played in

more people using other products, only 1 person using Track for the whole season and he had the most points..hmmmm...that tells me Track was the best out there

You don't just "end up" somewhere. He obviously knew something you all did not know. His contract was with Track, and the Track brand only. He didn't just end up on Columbia's staff.

Look I have nothing on Track, or their products.. I use all kinds of products, and am thinking of drilling up the Resurgence. There was not enough products for me to support. I liked the Machine and the Mean Machine.. I just ventured off after Del Warren had left, and never came back. I recently just threw a 300 down with a Storm Secret Agent, and probably won't give up on them.

Kenny,

I am not taking offensively to anything you said. I am chiming in because of the Wes comment. Wes is an awesome guy.....extremely awesome off of the lanes. It was a great pleasure to meet him and work with him at Bowl Expo.

All I am saying is this: It is unfair for you to make a statement about him leaving Track to go to C300. You do not know the situation. If you knew the situation you would not make that type of comment.

Well, since this is the rumors and non rumors. Tell me the truth at why he went to Columbia300?

My contribution to this thread is that I used to be a Tracker. I used to love their products, and threw 6 of their products exclusively. What my intentions were, was that I was letting them know they are turning many off because of delayed releases. I had thoughts of drilling up a Rising and now I find out its 2 months delayed? And now I'm hearing that Staff has theirs 3 MONTHS early? Iffy if you ask me.

This is between him and Ebonite Intl. It has nothing to do with us or the equipment. That is my final answer.

ALTHOUGH....he looked freakin' unbelieveable throwing the Kinetic and Rising at the product showcase.

I don't think I know it all. I'm stating my opinions of things, and trying to figure out why there was such a LONG delay for equipment that has soo much potential. And not once did I even talk down on their equipment, ever. I simply stated, that they have little to no exposure on today's lanes, and not a whole lot of pros are throwing them. Hell, I loved Track.

And to the release thing, what is coming out that everyone is so worried about? To my knowledge, most of the big releases for all the Ebonite Intl. companies was released in the last month. Over how many releases? Anger, Gamebreaker, Raid, etc.. I don't get your point about that.

Oh, never once did I ever say that I was more superior to anyone on these boards. I simply asked why were the releases pushed back? And then I get told I was useless posting?

I'm done. You all are obviously uptight about how long it has taken to release new products, and are hiding why Wes was transfered, or how he "ended up" at Columbia. Also, there must be a slew more of balls coming out huh? To my knowledge, Ebonite has released SEVERAL releases, along with Hammer, and Columbia is releasing August. Sounds like there putting Track on the back burner.

Hey Kenny,

It was in the best interest under the Ebonite family for Wes to move to Columbia vs Track.  I'd prefer to not go into details and any "official" comments should come from Ebonite regarding this matter.

 
quote:
Not alot, but many participate in regionals and etc.  


What do you mean by "many"?  Are you sure, do you have statistics and data that support your comment that the PBA or even PBA Regionals are "making" money? The unfortunate situation of the PWBA folded because of "why"?  The PBA was bought and sold because....?

Please Kenny, you are a bright young man but please do not make assessments unless you can support them with some factual data.

Rick, its simply stated, do you see more Storm's, Ebonite's, Hammer's, Brunswick's, or do you see more Track when you go to any regional?

Simply stated, Track does not have a whole lot of exposure. And when you hear pro's talk down on Track, and saying that they offered there Amateur Staff position down, obviously something is wrong.

Xfest aka kenny,

Ebonite, Hammer and C300s releases are hitting the market sooner because they had their brand managers in place sooner. Nothing more nothing less.

As for the Wes Mellott situation....that is his business. I am sorry if you cannot respect that. I simply came on to let you know that you were incorrect in your stance as to why it happened. It is not my place to give out the specifics.

Ebonite and Hammer have had their brand managers in position for years, Columbia had their brand manager a couple months before Track did, so they have had more time to work on their stuff than Track has

i used to think they were putting Track on the back burner also and it pissed me off to no end, then others pointed out those things of why they are later than the rest, im a Trackster, ive never spend money on any other brand, i do have a Columbia Action i won in a raffle, spent $3 on that ball, i love the Track gear, will continue to use and wait on their stuff until it doesnt match up with me anymore

the only other brand i have even thought about buying is Morich, and im still looking at the LevRG, its a pretty interesting ball

So Ken, sorry bud but a little more detail..it's okay to discuss, we're just trying to help and no one is trying to pick on you, especially not me.

Back to my analogy, 15 more mouths to feed, if one person in the house gets his plate before another, does that mean they're more important than the next one?  

Track is NOT on the backburner, all 15 kids would be just as important to your Mom and Dad but somebody's getting their plate last, right?

No he is a VP. He does what the VP only does, he cast the deciding vote over what Hitman gets the last peace of cake or pie, when we can't deside amoung ourselves. I am 5'10" so I would walk in front of Rick. Yet it would have to be a few feet in front because if I did take a hit I would need falling roon. The last thing we need is Rick having me or any of the Hitmen landing on him.

Also figs I want my pull over, and you never came to the shop and I recall you saying something about a steak dinner. You can't just talk about a steak dinner around a Hitman and not come through. I think my fellow Hitmen will back me up on that. Like my grandma said the time I ordered the 22oz. New Yourk strip with the add on of the lobster tail and shrimp. "You gona eat all that mark.", I replyed, "O yes grandma and I am eyeballing that photo of the wild berry pie also."

Those differentials look so low, especially in the Kinetic for a "skid/snap" type of ball.

Is the Kinetic a solid or pearl?

Could someone compare it to the Mean Machine as well?  Take care of Six Pack first, but I want to know how it compares to the MM as far as overall hook and reaction shape.  Any other useful notes appreciated, thanks.

I don't know if you have a MM but I would'nt consider my MM a skid/snap ball.mine is clean in the heads and has a very hard arc in the mids/backend.it hits very hard but dose'nt have the recovery on the backend like a skid/snap ball.

sixpack,

I have only seen the Immortal Pearl thrown once, so comparing it with the Kinetic would be difficult. I will state this though.....I have thrown alot of bowling balls and the Kinetic turns the corner harder than anything I have thrown.

spinner,

It is alot different than the MM. As mentioned already, and I saw the same thing, the MM was an extremely strong arc in the backend. It does cover some boards down the lane, but nothing at the breakpoint like what the Kinetic will. The Kinetic is solid....





As for the low differentials: I cannot explain why a ball with lower differential would turn the corner like the Kinetic....but it does. The Temper on the other hand picks up roughly 2ft sooner than turns. In all honesty....the Temper is an improved Phoenix. It is the Phoenix with continuation.

Is the Rising considered a heavy oil ball while the Kinetic would be med/heavy and the Temper as medium as per Buddies preorder info??????

Weaser,

SO FAR I think with the proper layout that the Temper could be used on some drier conditions....or at the very least med/light.

The Kinetic is going to shine on mediums to medium/heavy. On the medium/heavy patterns it is going to need to be able to find friction....but when it does it will turn over very strong.

The Rising is a heavy oil ball.....that is extremely versatile. With the proper surface prep I think it would make a very good ball on mediums as well. Rarely does a company release a ball like this that will do almost anything!

Carl, I keep asking because I don't know if the Kinetic will be strong for me; I want to put it between The Rising and the Machine.  Will the Kinetic fit evenly there?
Title: Re: Tired of rumors? HERE IS YOUR TRACK LEGION Q&A section!

OOB the Kinetic wants to get down the lane and prepare to expends its energy at the breakpoint. I feel that with your game you will probably need to adjust the surface a bit. I have not seen it with a different surface prep.....(thinking of trying mine at a lower grit), but I think it would be very strong. FOR ME OOB it is stronger than the Machine was.

Carl, and how does the Kinetic compare to the Mean Machine?  The Mean Machine is supposed to be the ultimate compliment to the Machine?

HEY!  I just got a perfect comparison!  Kinetic to Black Widow Solid?

a few posts back i answered the question about the mean machine



I may have to take the Kinetic down to 4000 and see if the BW is a good comparison.

interested in something I can get past drying heads and when the track area blows wide open.the kinetic is starting to sound like a no mercy or black widow.I'm also a rev dom player so a pearl would probably be better for what I'm looking for.

six,

LONG and STRONG......skid/flip.....that is not a no mercy or bw. I guess the best option is for you to view it on the lanes.

I hope to have videos up soon, on the new website.

I have a question for u carl. I currently own a paradigm passion and a scorchin inferno. One will become a medium lane ball with a surface adjustment. I have a problem when the fronts go, and i need a suggestion on one of the new balls. This is my youtube page, www.youtube.com/planb56 I know that my form is horrible, but i've changed it just havent filmed a vid yet.

Doubtful. They are just trying to start up again, and would only have 3 choices to choose from. So, once again, doubtful.

Yes but Paul Figs is crazy, Good crazy. He want to get people on the path that we are on. I could see him doing something with ball giveaways. He wants to see Track equipment out there, because he feels that Tracks stuff is so good that once you drilled one you cant stop and you will want another.

Yep, Amen, I was lucky enough to win 2 Track balls on the Track-Ball-a-day-Giveaway (Green Machine and Power Machine) - Once I saw the value in the product, I then bought the Mean Machine, Equation, and a second Power Machine.
