Track Stealth Review
While no longer in production, the Track Stealth remains a solid option on the used market for bowlers needing a reliable medium-heavy oil ball with predictable symmetric motion.
welcome to another episode of track cast i'm rich hanson the product manager for track bowling and today we're going to talk to you about the brand new stealth the stealth is a very unique piece for track it's been a long time since we've had a strong symmetrical piece in the brand typically we have very strong asymmetric pieces or we have smoother predictable symmetric pieces and for the box finish we've chosen a 500 1500 sierra pad finish so let's talk about the new stealth core it's a symmetrical piece with an rg of 2.482
and a differential of 0.056 this can give a lot of revs in the front part of the lane with a big differential giving it a lot of continuation at the back hand what's also different about this core is we have a heavy dense donut at the bottom of it what that does is it moves more mass away from the center of the core creating more instability and gives us better continuation at the back end of the lane so when designing the brand new stealth we wanted to create the most versatile ball in the track lineup combining the new stealth core with our qr9 solid cover stock gives us just that
a ball that works for a widest variety of bowlers on the widest variety land conditions alright so there you have it the brand new track stealth make sure you visit trackbulling.com for more information and as always make sure you follow us on all of our social media channels
Performance Analysis
Performance Analysis
Testing revealed the Track Stealth to be a benchmark symmetric ball that delivers smooth, predictable motion through the front part of the lane. Independent reviewers observed the ball performing particularly well in transition situations, where its medium-heavy oil condition rating allows it to maintain strong midlane drive without over-reacting. On typical house and sport patterns, the Stealth’s symmetric core geometry produced a consistent roll that bowlers could confidently throw to “keep things in play,” making it an effective tool when lane conditions require a more controlled approach.
The ball’s defining characteristic emerged in how it manages the critical midlane phase. Testing showed the Stealth generates notable strength through the middle of the lane, which can be advantageous when dealing with heavier oil patterns or when bowlers encounter that common “track blows up” scenario where friction spikes unpredictably. This midlane dominance means the ball blends out angle variations well, reducing the likelihood of erratic ball motion off the spot. However, independent reviewers noted that compared to more asymmetric options, the Stealth’s shape becomes less pronounced downlane, meaning bowlers who need the ball to make a sharp directional change in the backend may find it transitions to the pin somewhat gradually.
Surface adjustments were not mentioned in testing, suggesting the ball arrives ready to use on medium-heavy conditions without requiring immediate surface modifications for most house bowlers.
Who Is This Ball For?
The Track Stealth is purpose-built for bowlers who value consistency and control over aggressive angular motion. It serves as an ideal first reactive ball for intermediate players moving up from plastic or urethane equipment, as well as a practical secondary or “go-to” ball for advanced bowlers managing varying lane conditions. Bowlers who frequently encounter crowded oil patterns or who prefer a smoother, more forgiving ball motion will find the Stealth’s symmetric design and midlane strength particularly useful.
This ball is less ideal for players who regularly bowl on lighter oil patterns or who need a ball that snaps hard into the pocket from extreme angles. If your game relies on opening up sharp angles or generating dramatic backend motion, a more aggressive asymmetric option may serve you better. However, if your priority is owning a dependable workhorse that handles transitions well and keeps you in the pocket when conditions shift, the Stealth’s benchmark status among Track enthusiasts is well-earned.
The Pros
- • Strong mid-lane read on medium-heavy oil
- • Predictable symmetric core motion
- • Good value on used market
The Cons
- • Limited versatility on lighter conditions
- • Discontinued - harder to find

OMG!!!! I love this ball! The Track Stealth has a great mid lane read and smooth ball motion. This allows me to keep the bowling ball in front of me and not have to swing it so much due to my high ball speed. This ball certainly checked all the boxes. The stealth never lost energy as it hit the pins. The Track Stealth hits like a tank!!! You don’t want to miss out on this ball! Layout: 55 x 4.5 x 30

Here is my take on the new Track Stealth. The Stealth features a low RG/high diff symmetrical core with a QR-9 black solid cover. I drilled one with a 45 x 4 ¾ x 35 layout and threw it at box surface which is 1500 siaair. I have thrown it on THS and the 2022 PBA Chameleon pattern. The motion from the Stealth I would characterize as a strong yet continuous motion. At box surface, the Stealth definitely requires some volume in order to get the ball through the front. Given my medium ball speed, I will likely being going over the ball with a 3000 siaair pad in order to make the Stealth more effective on our house shot which is lower in volume. However, when the Stealth picks up, it definitely has continuation. For those that have thrown the original black Brunswick Knock Out, the Stealth to me seems to be a little earlier and a bit smoother. While I have yet to change surface, my sense is that the Stealth, depending on surface prep, will be usable on medium to higher volumes of oil on medium to longer patterns.

So I did an out of box video and didn't realize I had front 7. After the camera was turned off I threw 7 more before I had a flat 10. It is a strong symmetric solid that has continuation through the pin deck like an asymmetric. It just want's to carry from every angle. I shot an 11 strike 261 with it last night in league. The one big error was grabbing it and throwing it slow for a Greek church split. I also had trip 4's and messenger 10's and a few that were 10 back. :-) I wasn't sharp, but the ball made me look good. It is a couple boards stronger than my Brunswick Knock Out Black & Blue and finishes like my Columbia 300 Power Torq. It is the best of both worlds. It's already won on TV and honor scores are popping up every day already. This one is special.

All I can say is WOW. The new Track Stealth has awesome ball motion. This ball has ALOT of flare. I went with a 70 x 6 x 35 layout. Even with the weaker pin, I am still getting a 4 inches of flare. This ball is awesome on house shots, with unbelievable continuation through the pins. It takes surface adjustments very well, if you need the Stealth to read sooner just sanded it with 1000 and to go longer go with 3000 t0 4000. With the surface adjustments the Stealth never loses the incredible ball motion. I see this ball being very driller friendly. So put your favorite layout in the Stealth and strike for days.

The Track Stealth is a high-end symmetric solid in the Track line. It is definitely a strong overall ball motion. Mine was drilled 50x4 7/8x15, which placed the pin well above my ring finger. The goal was to get a cleaner roll through the front part of the lane and still get a strong pickup in the mids/backend. What I found is that the out of box cover is so strong, that the layout did not matter, and it picked up too early on the house shot. Fortunately, the surface adapts to changes very well. I brought the cover up to 3000 abralon and got what I was looking for. The Track Stealth will be 1st ball out of my bag on many THS conditions as well as sport shots that have volume. Plenty of surface changes to adapt to different conditions, but the strong ball motion will make this useable in many situations. Dave Han Track Regional Staff Vise Regional Staff
