Track Proof Review

The Track Proof is an absolute necessity in your bag! This ball is strong and controllable. Incredibly versatile. This ball will be first out of my bag for most tournaments and league. Don't miss out on this monster! Bowlersmart Rockford Shop Manager Brunswick Regional Staff Member Coolwick Staff Member

This ball is unique! It is a great ball for medium to heavy conditions from house to tournament patterns but offers a very strong continuous backend that can keep this ball in your hand longer then you may expect. You can keep moving left and the ball doesn’t have the usual tendencies most high performance have of burning out on the backend.

I admit it, I've been a Brunswick snob for years... but I really want to give this ball a shot with a short pin layout. Shelf appeal looks really good too.

Since EBI closed, this is one of the 1st balls to be released to be released. Great Medium to Heavy oil ball option with great mid lane read and continual motion.

The Track Proof is the first high performance ball made by Brunswick and I must say I’m impressed. The coverstock/core combination in this ball handles oil very well, and as lanes transition and moving deeper is needed, does not seem to lose energy as quickly as other high performance solids. Mine is drilled 15x4x35, which is the same layout we put on my Prism Hybrid. For me, this layout permits the ball to get down the lane and store energy well. I realized after a couple uses how the solid coverstock doesn’t seem to “burn up” as quickly as the lanes dry out. That quality reminds me of throwing the Track Tactix for the first time – but this is a stronger ball. Obviously, the longer you can stay with one ball the better. If you need a high-end ball that can get you through all 3 games on an oily house shot (with appropriate lane moves), then the Track Proof may be the ball for you.

One of the first balls poured by Brunswick! It is a great ball for medium to heavy conditions from house to tournament patterns but offers a very strong continuous back end that can keep this ball in your hand longer then you may expect. Great value

After a few shots I got to test with the Track Proof, I was very impressed of not only the smoothness ball motion through the fronts, but also the angular reaction and continuous movement the core and coverstock makes in the back part of the lane. This seems to be the coverstock that allows you to play in heavy oil and wet/dry conditions, but not in the dryer conditions so much. It is a great block starter and benchmark all in one. This is a very favorable ball for my arsenal roster and has instantly become one of my favorites as one of the first releases of the new and improved Track brand. Layout used on this ball is 65 x 3.75 x 20, in which gives me a great angular/continuous ball motion that favors my rev-dominant game. YouTube: https://youtu.be/Ix7YdNHyUGQ

I decided to drill this ball 65x4x25, which is my max flip layout. I am an average rev/speed bowler and had no problem getting this ball to come back and carry. It has a ton of continuation and is designed to read the midlane. I can definitely see this ball as the first one out of the bag to help gauge what the pattern is doing. It is strong without being jumpy on the backend. If I was going to be using it on heavy oil with my stats I would consider an earlier revving layout to help me get the ball moving a bit sooner. The max flip layout is perfect for medium conditions for those of us who have average revs and speed. Very impressed so far and I am looking forward to throwing this ball into my tournament bag.

Here is my take on the Track Proof. The Track Proof features the Proof asymmetrical core with Black/Gray Solid Prime Response Cover. The Track Proof comes with a 1 year warranty My “vitals” are a 405 rev rate with a PAP of 5 9/16 over and 1/8 up. I have drilled 2 Track Proofs, one with a 60 x 5 ½ x 65 (pin down) layout and the other with a 70 x 5 x 20 layout (pin up). I have thrown the ball at box surface (500/2000 Siaair) and at 4000 Abralon over box. I have tried the ball on both fresh and burned out THS. At the outset, I tried the Proof after a 4 month layoff from bowling due to COVID-19 closures. Thus, among other things, my ball speed is lower than normal. I would put this ball in between both Hammer Redemptions and stronger than a Pink Widow for those looking for an asymmetric option. Due to lower ball speed at this point, both Proofs was very strong and saw the lane early at box surface . I preferred the 4000 Abralon as it allowed the ball to get down the lane easier and retain more energy. I definitely noticed that with different layouts, the Proof does show very different ball motion with the pin down Proof being a more rounded, smoother shape and the pin up showing a quicker and stronger down lane motion. What I did note on both burnt and fresh THS, at the 4000 Abralon surface, was the ease through which the Proof was able to get through the fronts and store energy to the back. Often, for me, I sometimes have trouble getting asymmetric balls to retain enough energy. I did not find that to be the case with the Proof and given the very different shapes the layouts provide, it would appear that the Proof is very versatile and depending on surface prep, should be able to handle most medium to higher volume patterns. See your local proshop for more information about the Track Proof!

I love my Proof! I'm able to get it downlane with a strong backend, but it's very controllable and not jumpy. One of the first balls out of my bag no matter what.

Looking for the first ball out of your bag or a benchmark ball, look no further than the Track Proof. This is an ideal ball to start league or tournament with and the ball witl allow you to move through the transition without having to change balls or until mid/late block. For me, this ball has a strong midlane read but a continuous motion into the pins with lots of energy, definitely threw the pins around quite a bit. Drilled it 60 x 5 x 30.

If you are looking for a medium-heavy oil ball, you have found it. This asymmetrical gem offers great mid-lane movement with a continuous and impressive power through the pins. The first night I threw this ball I averaged just over 235, the pins simply had no chance. When we saw transition occurring on the lane and others were switching balls, I was able to move left and still carry the corners. Get yours today and you will be amazed!!

The Track Proof is an amazing Medium RG, Higher Differential Solid. I have been able to match this ball up on House, Sport and Challenge Patterns. The Mid-Lane Read and Continuation through the Pins has made this ball a must have in my bag for both league and tournament play.

Track Proof Solid Pin Length: 3 inch Pin Ball Weight: 15lb Layout: 40 x 3 1/2" x 30 BOWLER STYLE: Power Tweener Rev Rate: 380-410 Ball Speed: 16-17mph PAP/Track: 4">, 1" up SURFACE PREP: OOB Grit: N/A Type: (Matte, Polish, Sanded): Sanded LANE CONDITION: THS Length: 42ft Volume:Medium, heavy Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): THS BALL REACTION : Scale of 1-10 ( 10 being the most ) Length: 7.5 Back End: 8 Total Hook: 9 Breakpoint Shape: Continous Arc COMMENTS: The Track Proof is a great choice for heavier volumes and those who need more overall hook. The Prime Response cover really is the best of both worlds in that its clean up front yet strong enough to handle heavier oils. The overall reaction shape reminds me of the Tour edition balls like the Web series from Hammer, just in an asymmetric ball. I love the downline continuation from an upper end ball, with my style a lot of the bigger cores and stronger covers don't allow to stay in them longer than a game or 2 in my leagues. The Proof is clean enough up front, and shapes enough downlane to stay in it 3 gms if I need to. I think the Proof solid will be a great ball for those looking for more hook, those with lower rev rates, and folks whose centers put out decent volumes of oil. This is just a great ball overall, and useable for most all style of bowlers! Go get yours at your nearest BowlersMart location, or nearest pro shop! Mike Myrick Brunswick Regional Staff

I’m really enjoying rolling my Proof! Surprisingly I feel it’s very clean through the fronts while reading the mid lane enough for me. It has a very eye catching backend motion but not too jumpy off the spot. One of the first balls out of my bag.
