Track Unveils Two New Balls

Track fans around the world have gathered and united to form the "Legion". The "Legion" isn't new or a fad, this diehard group of bowlers have been growing in numbers, waiting to unite as one to take over the bowling world. Track has now empowered its most loyal fan base with the weapon they need to conquer the lanes and their competition. This Legion isn't messing around! 

The Track Legion is Red/Black/Yellow MR-6 Hybrid coverstock which surrounds the LT-2 weight block, finished at 500, 1000 Abralon polished with Powerhouse Factory Finish Polish. Available July 21^st, 2015.

A bowling ball is generally either very aggressive in the front part of the lane, mid-lane, or back end. For a ball to be able to do all three is rarely seen. In the bowling world, this is considered a Paradox. Our new high performance creation offers unexplainable hook and power on the heaviest of oil patterns. Some things are just better left unexplained. 

Track Paradox features a Blue/Blue Pearl/Light Blue QR-9 Hybrid coverstock encircling the I-Core 2.0 (Dual Density) weight block. The new Paradox is finished 500, 2000 Abralon. Available August 18^th, 2015. 

Columbia Adds 2 New Balls

The Severe Delirium is Black/Teal/Silver Bend-IT Hybrid coverstock with a Resurgence core providing medium-high flare potential. The Severe Delirium is factory finished with 500, 2000 Abralon. Available August 11th, 2015

The Columbia 300 Urge features Lime/Cobalt /Silver AR350 Hybrid coverstock with the new high flare Ironman weight block. Surface finish is 500, 2000 Abralon then polished with Powerhouse Factory Finish Polish

Columbia reports: “this high polished beauty is designed to create an aggressive motion at the breakpoint and back end. The Urge is perfect for those looking for something stronger than the Delirium, but not as aggressive as the sanded Melt Down.” Available July 7^th, 2015.

New From Hammer For The New Season

Hammer Black Widow Red Legend Solid features the Bright Red Juiced Solid coverstock, surrounding the long successful Black Widow/Gas Mask core, and finished 500, 2000 Abralon. Available August 4th, 2015

Hammer Viral Solid The Blue/Green Violent Flip Reactive Solid coverstock is finished 500, 1000 Abralon then polished with Powerhouse Factory Finish Polish.

Ebonite Announces New Balls

 Coming from Ebonite: 

Ebonite Warrior featuring the GB 13.3 Pearl Red/Black Cherry/Red Pearl coverstock envelops the new Iron Fist core shape. Cover preparation is 500, 2000 Abralon Polished with Powerhouse Factory Finish Polish

Ebonite reports: Our brand new GB 13.3 Pearl cover is our most aggressive coverstock. We started with the original chemistry of the proven GB 10.7 (The One) and dramatically increased the porosity levels to aggressively displace oil which gives the GB 13.3 cover the ability to read the mid-lane and back end stronger than any of our other covers.”  Available July 7^th, 2015.

Ebonite Game Breaker 2 Gold Reminiscent of The One, the Royal/Gold/ Blue GB 10.7 Pearl coverstock encloses the high flare Enhanced V2 core, finished to 500, and 1000 Abralon then polished with Powerhouse Factory Finish Polish.

In designing the GB2 Gold, Ebonite wanted to create the perfect complement to its predecessor, the GB2. The goal is to create a ball that is cleaner through the front, while maintaining the strong and continuous move at the back end which the Game Breaker line is known for. This ball is ideal for medium oil lane conditions.

Ebonite expounded: “Very few cover stocks have the strong, rich heritage as our GB 10.7. When it comes to consistency and reliability, others take a back seat. By infusing pearl additives into this proven cover, we have created the perfect complement to the highly successful Game Breaker 2.” Available August 18^th, 2015

Ebonite Adrenaline Shot is Silver/Purple GB 12.0 Hybrid coverstock wrapping the high flare Adrenaline Core, finished with 500, 2000 Abralon

The design intent behind the Adrenaline Shot is to create a ball that fills the gap between our Game Breaker 2 and Code of Honor when it comes to total overall hook.

Ebonite reports: “Our brand new GB 12.0 Hybrid cover is based on the original chemistry of the proven GB 10.7 (from The One). The porosity levels have been increased to allow for faster oil displacement, which gives the GB 12.0 cover the ability to read the mid-lane and back end stronger.”

Available September 15^th, 2015

New Additions at Ebonite and Columbia 300

Ebonite is bringing new colors to market in both the Cyclone series (Blue/Red Sparkle and Green/Yellow Pearl) and the entry polyester Maxim series (Peppermint, BumbleBee and Night Sky). 

Colors coming out of Hopkinsville, KY where the Columbia White Dot (Patriot Sparkle and Sunburst) and Ebonite Maxim balls are made are just stunning. 

New from Columbia 300, the Deep Freeze in Coral Splash and Pink Frost.







In addition to the new Deep Freeze colors Columbia has added a Scout black reactive, three piece ball. 

MOTIV Introduces Two New Balls For Light Oil

New from MOTIV: Summer often presents lane conditions of light oil. Performance with the new Pink and Green Pearl Ascent Apex should help you match up on lighter oil conditions featuring the Recon core and Fusion™ XL Reactive coverstock finished 5000 Grit LSP.  MOTIV reports “Both Apex balls will provide more length on high friction lane conditions and a more angular move at the backend than the regular Ascent balls.  However, experienced bowlers will notice that this new Pink/Green Pearl Apex is a touch stronger than the Mountain Blue Ascent Apex.”    

The Rebel Tank™ is a pearl urethane ball built to provide a powerful impact on light oil conditions where high friction can destroy ball reaction. Featuring the Halogen™ core, the Rebel Tank retains energy to maximize continuation through the pins.  This is achieved through both a high RG and moderate differential.  The high RG provides more length and the moderate differential tames track flare.  

The Rebel Tank™ also utilizes DMX Pearl Urethane cover stock technology.  This was first used on the Arctic Sniper spare ball because it is produces very little friction.  This cover is tuned at the factory with a 4000 Grit LSS finish. 
       

2015 Junior Gold Championships in Chicago To Be Televised

The Junior Gold Championships presented by Storm, Roto Grip and 

Master, is the pinnacle event for top youth bowlers and this summer the title matches of the annual tournament will be nationally televised on CBS Sports Network. An agreement is in place to televise the boys and girls championships matches of the Under 12, Under 15 and Under 20 divisions.

"The Junior Gold program is exploding in both participation and

interest and national television will elevate our future stars of the sport into

an even brighter spotlight," USBC Executive Director Chad Murphy said. "A 

future for the sport starts with youth programs such as Junior Gold and kids atthe event will have the experience of a lifetime being part of a major television broadcast."

The television package was made possible in part thanks to funding from the sale of adult spectator passes. The Junior Gold Championships started selling the one-day or all-week passes at the 2014 tournament.

"All the funds from the spectator pass are going right back into the 

enhancement of the event," Murphy said. "We really appreciate the fantastic support from all of our Junior Gold parents and families for helping grow this event into something so special for the kids."

The 2015 Junior Gold Championships will be held in the Chicago area from July 13-17. All title matches will take place at Stardust Bowl in Addison, Illinois, on July 17. Details on the broadcast agreement will be released soon.

The Junior Gold Championships annually awards scholarships and crowns a boys and girls champion in the three age divisions. Top qualifiers and champions also can earn spots on Junior Team USA. A record field of nearly 2,500 youth bowlers took part in the 2014 Junior Gold Championships.

Junior Gold competitors start the journey to the national tournament by 

qualifying through local tournaments. At the national championships, 

competitors must go through three days of qualifying and then match play to determine a champion.

The Junior Gold Championships week also includes exhibits, seminars and the Collegiate Experience, where bowlers have the opportunity to learn about bowling programs from colleges throughout the country.
