Track Strata Hybrid Review

The Track Strata Hybrid will be a nice compliment to the Strata Solid. Still has that big strong core. The cover is 2 parts pearl, 1 part solid. Then they finished it with 500 Siaair and added a compound & polish. It is very clean through the front part of the lane, but still has that big strong move you expect from the Strata line. It is a little cleaner and a little more angular than the Track Proof Hybrid. Track is coming up with a very nice lineup.

The Track Strata Hybrid, much like the Proof Hybrid, gave me an unexpectedly different look from the Strata solid. Mine was drilled 45x4x25, same as my solid, so my expectation between the hybrid cover and the polish would be cleaner through the front and perhaps a bit more backend. However, what I got was a smoother, more forward rolling ball. I’ve had a chance to use it on both house and tournament conditions, and the readability and response is really, really good. When I need to have a ball that is really readable but stronger than my Proof Hybrid, the Strata Hybrid will be my go to ball. I recommend this ball for all THS and med/long sport patterns.

The Track Strata Hybrid is a good complement to the original Strata. The Strata Hybrid is much cleaner through the front, and quicker off the spot. Mine is drilled with a high pin, and I really like the Strata Hybrid as I can start to open up the lane. The Track Strata Hybrid not only has great shelf appeal, but also is a great asymmetric option with a cleaner cover!

Speed: 17.9 RPM: 480 PAP: 5 7/8 RT x 2 1/4 DN No-thumb, one league per week, tournaments when I can. Tremendous slouch. Length with backend, easy step down from Strata Solid. The Strata has been so good for Track this year; anyone needing a big hooking ball that drilled one loved it.  We heard a lot about how continuous the Strata was even though it tractions so much in the oil.  Now Track has created the Strata Hybrid to compliment the original Strata and the Proof line.  The higher intermediate numbers and the shiny QR-11 hybrid shell produce a big change of direction when it exits the pattern.  Track Fans will be ecstatic to add the big core (Strata asymmetric), polished hybrid to their arsenal. As with the Strata Solid, the Strata Hybrid also has the addition of DynamiCore for extra hitting power and Durability Optimization Technology (DOT) for worry free drilling with your favorite layout, which are always added benefits to help us get higher scores. The Strata Hybrid has an out of box surface of 500 followed with Crown Factory Compound and finished with Crown Factory Polish. Matching the core/cover combination with the layout of 35x5x50 gives me the exact ball reaction that Track Bowling has intended for medium to heavy oil patterns, length with backend. When I’m rolling the Strata Solid and I find it reading the heads and mid lane too early the Strata Hybrid is an easy choice to switch to. I like when ball manufacturers continue a ball line and use similar color schemes and Track really nailed it so far with the Strata line. Sapphire/Black/Smoke actually improves on one of the best looking balls on the market just like the performance of the Strata Hybrid improves upon the Strata Solid. Be well, rip racks ...and shred pins.

Definitely A Great Compliment To The Strata Solid...When The Strata Solid Reads To Quickly Off The Spot Then The Strata Hybrid Definitely Will Get Father Down The Lane And Still Have The Same Impact On The Back Part Of The Lane And Drive Through The Pins!
