Track has started to release the 2008 line of Track Bowling Balls and Bowling Bags. Track has started with the release of the new Tantrum first. The Tantrum is a great looking ball with the same core as the Temper. The new Track Tantrum is very clean through the front part of the lanes with a very even arc on the backend with outstanding hitting power.

Next we step into the Total Power of the New Track Up-Rising. With the New Track Up-Rising you will see a stronger move off the dry from the original Rising. With its Jet Black color and the same Mega-Tron Core at 7.1 lbs the pins don't stand a chance. The New Track Up-Rising will keep pins very low to the pin deck and have them dancing from wall to wall. The new Track Up-Rising has pushed the standard for ball motion.

Soon to be released is the new Track Kinetic Pearl. The Kinetic Pearl is the third ball in the Kinetic line. So keep an eye out for this great looking ball from Track. The New Kinetic Pearl should have more length than the Kinetic and a stronger backend motion. The new Track Kinetic Pearl will be released on July 15, 2008

Well the next month and a half you will be seeing a lot of new bowling balls coming to market. Track, Hammer, Columbia, Ebonite all have new bowling balls coming to your pro shop very soon. I will try to give a quick run down of the new bowling balls.

 Track Is coming out with 3 balls.

The Track Up Rising - This is the second ball in the Rising line for Track Bowling. With the great look of the new Up Rising  it will sure make a lasting impression on the bowlers that have used and like the original Rising.

 The Track Kinetic Pearl - This is the third ball in the Kinetic line for Track. With the shuttle core and the new pearl cover stock the new Kinetic Pearl will give you more length and stronger backend motion. Or in a more simple term  Monster Skid/Flip.

 The Track Tantrum - This is the second ball in the Mid Price line for Track Bowling. The Tantrum is a Pearl Cover Stock with the Legion core. Great mid lane read with a little more angle on the back end from the Track Temper.

Anyone in the market for a new 16 lbs. Total Inferno we have 5 that we will sell at $89.95 plus shipping. Just goto this page and check out. All 5 balls are 15 lbs 15 oz. with 1-2" pin and top from 2.8 oz - 3.8 oz.

Well now that the PBA Experience league has ended I just wanted to leave an update on how the year went. After bowling on all 5 PBA Patterns I can say I ended the year with a 226 average. Had my best sport shoot 4 game series with a 1131. Had one 300 game. One 800 series at 857, and one 290 game.

All done with the new Track Bowling Balls. Use the Kinetic most of the year on 4 of the patterns. Used the Rising on the Shark Pattern, and the Temper once the pattern broke down and needed to get the ball started sooner on the lane. All in all it was a great year and looking forward to some tournament bowling. Take care and hope all is well with everyone and keep up the great bowling.

Now we are back from the Track Training Camp and what a great time it was. It was great to get a chance to meet all the Track Staff Members and learn from each of them. As you can see Track is coming out with a new ball the Kinetic Energy. It is a great looking ball and hope to have more on the ball reaction once the ball has been shipped. Track is a first class company from start to finish. If you have not had the chance to look at the New Track Web Site please take the time too. I will post more once I have the new ball.

One question I get more then any other I would like to address. Why is the Track ball $5.00 more then any other ball in the same range? Simple. Track is better. And I always have the same reply. What does any other ball company do for you after you buy a ball? The answer is nothing. Track on the other hand has Live Tech Support. Yes live support. So if you want to know how to change the reaction of your new Track ball but don't know how, you can go to the Track Web Site and click on the Live Tech Support and someone will help you. No other ball company will do that. Hope to talk to you all soon. Take care. Vance Sisk
