Anyone using Track balls?

[RoccoRock]

It's funny, I've read that same review for almost evey ball, by every brand. "Hits hard, keeps the pins low." Hey, if I win a DV8 ball from this site I would be very very happy to try it and compare. I wish I never veered from RotoGrip in the first place. As much as I like my Track equipment, I would love to have an arsenal of RotoGrip instead. I looked at the shirts, and Jerseys RotoGrip makes, and I love the look. Plus, I bowled my one and only (and probably only one of my life) 300 with my RotoGrip. Feels like going home.

My Mutant Cell also kept the pins low most of the time. However, my Hy-Road, Victory Road and Natural Pearl do not. I also have higher than normal ball speed which may also contribute to the problem. The review I was referring to wasn't (to my knowledge) by the manufacturer, staffer or ball rep but a regular league bowler. Staffers and ball reps have a very good reason to accentuate the positives, real or imagined, of their product.

Yeah, my Mutant Cell Pearl, and Nomad Pearl both kept the pins lows as well. Honestly, if the Nomad wasn't a second hand, 16 pound ball, I would probably still be using that. It was a wrecking ball, but because I don't use my thumb it was just too heavy. That's also why I'm thinking of going to 14 pounds, it may be easier to throw, and take less of a toll on me over time.

I've been thinking of dropping weight as well. I went from 16 to 15 last year and may go to 14 next year or so. My spare ball is currently 14 as I wanted a little more deflection for the baby splits.

Same here, my spare is 14, and it feels like it's less taxing to throw. I am almost definatly going to go with a 14 pound ball for my next ball. I was always worries that a 14 wouldn't hit hard enough. 2 months ago I had a really good series on bone dry lanes using just my 14 pound plastic ball, so that gave me hope.

There is a guy in our local house that uses nothing but track and does very well with them.

The last time I bought a Track bowling ball was somewhere back
in the early to mid 90's only owned the one and that was the last
one I ever bought. It was such a pathetic hitting ball and just so
inconsistent that it was really hard to break 150 with it and I got
so mad at it that I may have thrown it off the bridge and into the
river as I have been known to do that a few times before with other
pathetic balls like that I just took them swimming.
