Many things have been stated recently by Rick and myself. You know that the TAG-TEAM is on board with Track and that we will remain here to give info or suggestions as we have always been. None of that will change. We will continue to help with your questions about bowling equipment in general. NONE of that will change.
Are you interested in the NEW Track knowing that the TAG-TEAM will be around to support the equipment and address any of the concerns that you may have about it? Remember, with all of what we have been provided Rick and I are really impressed with Track's plans for the future. The equipment will again be leading edge in the bowling industry. We also believe that we have the proper leadership to get us back where we belong, on top!
We are very interested to hear what you have to say about the "new" Track. Do you feel as pumped about the future as Rick and I do? What are you looking forward too the most? What would you like to see with the equipment?
Looking forward to your replies,
-Carl

Ever since I started with McCorvey's Pro Shop back in April, and this was around the time the buyout just happened...I honestly didn't know what to do...I knew Track wouldn't have any releases til everything was finalized and the new production began...so with that being said, I ventured off...not as a slap in the face to Track but because being in the pro shop...I feel you have to be a versatile operator because some people may not show interest in a product you feel passionate about! So I took a couple of other companies and gave them a try...
The Conclusion? I feel there is no bad bowling ball out there. All the companies put out the best product; however, when it comes to Track, the history is there and I knew since hearing about the buyout that it would be in good hands even though there was friction in the beginning from some people who were definitely against it...this may have changed but I do know this...
I see myself turning in my non-track equipment before the fall season starts back up and going back to nothing but an all Track arsenal again simply because I had success with the equipment. As they say, don't go against the grain or if it isn't broke, don't fix it! From conversations per Rick and I, if you can give me a piece with the qualities and characteristics of the X-Ception and Equation, then I'll be a happy camper! I've always promoted the Track product and just about everybody knows me in this forum if not on BR.com as the "Track Video Guy"...Once a FASTTRACKER and always a FASTTRACKER! That's my opinion, take it for what its worth! I've said it once and I'll say it again...

I did buy a bunch of the last San Antonio Track equipment up, so I feel I am set for a long time unless some of the New Track equipment proves itself as better than what I already have. I can always sell off the old stuff and recover my money.
If any of you read my post about how I started with Track, I may have been on board longer than anyone. Phil started Track in Ohio. I had the original Black and Blue Enforcers with the original logos and they were made in Ohio. Dave D'Entremont was throwing Track before he went on tour. We knew and bowled with Phil.
I will be 50 this fall, but I am still a big and powerfully built man who still has a lot of game left.

I am currently throwing Visionary stuff and have signed up for their test staff membership. My reasoning for doing this is because with the buyout, I needed to supplement my ball purchasing habits...lol, and with the lengthy period of time between releases, I took the opportunity to try some new equipment. I still love the Track brand and will purchase their new stuff as it is released. In fact, I still have quite a few balls from them and throw them frequently. I did sell some stuff, but it was only to make room for the new Visionary stuff I was getting and because the stuff I sold wasn't seeing much use.
With that said, I am anxious to see what Track has in store for us with its new releases. I can't wait to get "back on Track!"

Man I so want this to be true.
What I'm dying to see is a good high performance dry to light/medium oil ball, maybe even with a assymetric core. Seems like you're in the know on these things, what can you tell us about this?
Also, whats the timetable on the new releases? I know it will be at least before the start of the new season, but can you be any more specific?
It is true. Track will be Track. Plain and simple.
Now about the equipment. I understand your request for a med/light high performance ball but you have to consider a few things. FIRST- I am sure that you would not expect this to be the first release. If A company were to release a weak ball at a high performance price point I believe it would be shooting itself in the foot. HOOK sells guys. I am not sure of the plans for that far ahead, but I wouldn't expect a ball like to be released for a long time.
As for specific release dates I am unsure. What I can tell you is that everyone will know alot more in about a month.

my Angular,Reactive,Animal Untamed,Dry Heat. I bought
a NIB Equation for the fall season, but i also bought
a NIB Storm Shift. My reason for buying a Storm ball is
that i have seen this ball in action and can i just tell
you that this ball is an absolute monster and i cannot
wait to drill this ball up. I,m with Track

here is something to consider bud, and I feel very strongly for Del and Dawn and the rest as well......I had a lengthy conversation with Dawn a while back, had things not had happened to them the way it did Del would not have gotten a good departing deal. If he were in charge when the buyout occured he would be in the same boat as some of the others. Del and Dawn are not sour about what happened. Granted, they are not happy.........but it opened a door for Del to do what he truely loves.
One thing that I can guess is that Del would be happy knowing that Rick and myself(two of his disciples) are basically carrying on his beliefs.

I'M OUT. I started using Del's designs with AMF and they worked really well for me. Del and I became friends and I was always amazed at the attention he paid to those who used his designs, and everyone here knows that. He made balls for "bowlers". He traveled a lot, ran clinics and was approachable to anyone who was interested in the product. His designs were specific to what his customers, us, wanted and I wish you good luck finding that attitude again. The recycling game was not part of his genre and he paid great detail to the coverstock materials and even to the color of the balls his customers liked. Del, Dawn, Chuck Gardner and the people he put together all got a "raw deal" and I can't honestly overlook that fact. There is more to life than loyality to the "brand" when the people who set the standard for that brand are disregarded.
Hey Lanebed, I hear you man. I have the utmost respect for Del, Dawn, Chuck and Brian Pursel. These people have not only taught me about the industry but we became friends. "THAT" is priceless.....

Agree whole heartedly but isn't that what you're doing now?....showing your sense of loyalty? Loyalty is being faithful, that's all. Point the finger in the right direction, was it Ebonite or anyone there who pushed out our friends? NO! So at least be fair and open minded.
I can't disregard anybody who comes in and takes over a business, business is business as we know. Everytime your boss leaves for a better job/gets fired/whatever, do you quit? No, (regardless of loyalty and friendship) most of us can't. In life, I give everyone the benefit of the doubt until he/she shows me their true colors and then I will make my decision as to how they fit into my life. I thought everyone did this to some extent....
Please thank Kenny Hall for me. Our drilling, (the Leong-Hall) should be renamed to the Lanebed Layout IMHO. It is having much success out here on many of our wet/dry conditions, thank you very much for this.

The Track designs will be unique and different than Ebonite. This seems to the biggest concern of most you. Track will be unique and a company all its own.
