Title: Your Track arsenal
Post by: C-G ProShop-Carl on March 15, 2005, 02:19:54 PM
I may have read this on a previous thread, but I figured I would start my own.

What are you using for what lane condition?

ME:
Heavy: GP2
MED-Heavy: Arsenal Aggressive
MED: Arsenal Angular and Slash
MED/Light: Xception
Light: Xception and Hexplosion
Polyester: Boxing Glove

I have 4 GP2s---3 get some use...2 of them cover the heavy(one a little more than the other), the other is med/heavy.

Currently I am trying to put together a bit of a "throw back" Track lineup to use during my summer league. The lanes will be resurfaced and when that happens they track a ball up really bad. I don't want that to happen to some of these newer balls.

So this is what I am hoping to develope:

Heavy: Phenom Unleashed
Med-Heavy: FreakOut
Med: Triple Threat and CrunchTime
Med-light: VooDoo
light: Hex Darkside

I have all of these except the CrunchTime, VooDoo and Darkside. Anyone wanna help me get them?

Right now within my Track arsenal I have the following:

Heavy: Animal (dull)
Medium-Heavy: Rule (polished)
Medium- Slash (polished)

All of my other equipment for mediums and below are a mixture of Storm, AMF, Columbia, Dynothane and Brunswick balls...

I tell you for my heavy oil needs, I can't complain about Track's performance on these conditions. I've been able to slug out low to mid 600's on a demanding heavy oil condition in my Tuesday night league, including a new high for me this year with a 210-190-242= 642, all shot with my Rule.

Heavy:  Animal @ 600-grit scotchbrite
Med/Heavy: Rule box finish
Med: Rule with heavy coat of Magic Shine
Med/Light: Freak-A-Zoid with mild coat of Magic Shine
Light: NONE
Polyester: NONE

I also have:
Track Phenom
Brunswick Power Groove
Storm Super Power Pearl
AMF Boogie

Hook me up with a Hexplosion, Xception, GP2, and Boxing Glove...then I'll have a complete Track arsenal and I'll be happy!!!

Still working on a full TRACK lineup, but here is what I have(and LOVE)to date: Animal, Animal Untamed, and FreakaZoid.
 I have my eye on a GP2 as well as the new Arsenal series, but my wife would kill me.

I just added Rule to my Track arsenal.  Great ball and much more versatile than I expected.

Heavy: Mojo sanded (Sanded with green scotch brite pad for heavy / For Medium-Heavy with Carry Down, I polish with Track Protraction Polish).  

Med-Heavy: Rule (out-of-box)
Medium: Crunch Time (Clean N Smooth)
Medium-Light: Threat (Clean N Polish)
Light: Sonic Boom (Not track but great dry lane ball)
Spare: White Dot

Mojo is a versatile ball that can handle everything from medium to heavy depending on finish.  It is not talked about much on forum, but it is one of my all-time favorites.

One of the great things about Track's line-up is their versatility.  With minor modifications to the cover, each of Track's Balls can work on a wide variety of conditions.

oz,

I absolutely loved the Animal. When I made the switch to 15lbs before the season I bought one, but did not see enough oil to keep it in my bag. If you look in the past Track tends to release heavy oil balls in Dec/Jan, so I figured I would sell it and see what they had to offer come that time. The GP2 came out and I could not be happier. The fella that bought my Animal has maybe a game on it because it moves so much for him. VERY nice ball....and it is definately versatile.
