Track Arsenal Aggressive Particle Bowling Ball

I like to try out different equipment on occation, and I had this Arsenal Aggressive Particle laying there begging me to use it. So I brought it to the lanes along with an Old Ebonite Savage and a Brunswick Monster Bruiser. Well, I was very dissapointed with the Arsenal. It just didn't seem to have that drive, it kinda hit flat and I left some 10 pins. So I pulled out the Savage, and that wasn't much better. So I figured the lanes were just crappy. So, then I pulled out the Bruiser. That ball was the ticket (and this ball isn't suppose be as big a hitter as either the Arsenal or the Savage). Lets bring back some of the old Track equipment, before the New Thin sheel era!

I've had this ball for awhile now and finally decided to have it punched up.Stormed 299 did the drilling.He put the pin next to my ring finger and stacked the cg below (stacked leverage)1/2" below the midline,no x hole.The ball came with a 2-3 pin and 2 1/4oz top. I've used this ball at the house where I bowl leagues at and another house with newly installed Anvilanes.This ball definetly NEEDS OIL.For me it isn't one of those "send it and bend it" balls as I have my Throttle Up for that.I have to stay inside the block and play fairly direct with this ball.Now here comes the good part.This ball DESTROYS the pins,I understand why it has a tank on it because thats how it hits and mind you I am Rev Challenged.So on those nights where I cant get the ball to wrinkle this ball is my choice.To coin a phrase from Legends/Lanemasters this ball has that "crack sound" on impact.A Great Edition to my "Arsenal".Thanks Track!!!!!!

I borrowed this ball off of a friend. This ball is extremely reactive. This ball is definitly NOT FOR DRY LANES. NEEDS LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS, LOTS of oil.

SWUNG BALL 20 BOARDS AND STILL HAD THE FORCE TO COME BACK. GOT IT DRILLED WITH RING FINGER STACKED AND NOW I HAVE TO WAIT FOR A HOUSE THAT HAS OIL DOWN 40 FEET PLUS. ROLLS VERY EARLY, A REPLACEMENT FOR MY FULL THROTTLE, IF YOU LOVE 2 PIECE CORES GET ONE OF THESE BECAUSE THE WIEGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE BALL WILL GIVE YOU THE BEST ROLL IN OIL WHICH IS WHAT YOU WANT. I SAY NOT TO BRING DOWN ASYMETRICAL CORES, THEY HAVE BENEFITS ALSO. SAME ROLL AS THE RULE GP2 MINUS A FEW BUCKS. THE MONEY YOU SAVE GO AND PUT GAS IN THE SUV SINCE YOU PROBABLY HAVE 4 PLUS BALLS IN YOUR ROLLER BAG. YOU WILL NEED IT SINCE WE ARE HAVING AN OIL CRISIS.

Great all around ball, works in all condition except light-dry, AMAZING hitting power. Very versatile cover even dough it is particle. The ball clear heads even on med-light pattern. 10 pins all the way down not even one bad thing could be said about this ball. The Reaction it very controlable unless lanes are very dry or over reaction of the hand. The drill, Rotation of the hand and the lane conditions affect the ball so you cant play with this to make the ball fit your GAME....Good luck with this ball you'll love it..Another wounderful ball made by TRACK keep them coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bowl in a wood house with cooked heads. 38 Ft Pattern with a buff to 42-ft. Ball speed 18-19 mph. Med. revs. Aggressive has a 1-2 inch pin. The pin is next to my ring finger about 2 inches above my grip line. With a 1 inch kick with the Mb 1 inch to the right of my thumb. Weight hole is 5" over on the grip line. This ball was not supposed to be but it is stronger then the original rule at least for me. This ball needs oil. Great ball for floods. It gives me a controlled look especially as things start to break down. Gp2 Rule and Aggressive and Exception a great 1,2,3 punch. Great job Del and Brian!

I have ony one of these so far, and it is drilled pin under ring, cg in the palm, surface is out of box. Ball is very aggressive early for me, exactly what you would expect out of a dull high performance particle bowling ball. The Aggressive is about 3-4 board weaker than the GP2, but is about 1-2 boards stronger than the Animal! You could go to this ball if your GP2 is just a little too strong and your Arsenal Angular or Animal is just not strong enough. Great ball for many people, and a fit in ALL tournament bags

I drilled both the Arsenal Angular and Arsenal Aggressive with the same layout: pin 4 1/2 inches from my PAP just under the ring finger. These two balls compliment each other extremely well! I can start with the Aggresive model on freshly oiled lane conditions and I get a strong midlane reaction that still has enough energy to recover and hit the pins with lots of energy. As the lanes breakdown, I can switch to the Angular model and I get the extra length I need to keep the ball on line to the pocket. The overall hook of the Aggressive model is just under the overall hook of my Rule GP2. It goes a little longer the the GP2 but has more backend hook.

I drilled this ball with the pin and cg stacked, with the pin above the ring finger. What I like about the ball is that it is very strong in the mid lane, yet still retains energy for the backend. It doesn't quit on the backend like a lot of particle balls. Long, heavy patterns will be the best match for this ball. The ball has the same weakness that all strong particle balls have, which is lighter patterns and carrydown. But the Arsenal Angular is a very good compliment to the Aggressive, and is a nice combination on longer patterns.<scri

The name fits this ball, it is aggressive. I drilled this bowl for a wet/dry condition Pin 1 1/2 inches from PAP cg 1 inch from PAP x hole 1 inch below PAP 5 over up 1/2. Out of the box this ball is really aggressive when it hits the dry. I shined it with Track Clean n Smooth and it handle the dry better. For my purpose I think I need to shine it a little more with Clean n Polish. This will allow me to cheat in the dry even more and give me a little more pop on the back. I really think this ball and drilling will give me my solution for that wet/dry over/under conditions that some centers in my area (capital district NY) use as their house shot. I also feel I will be able to use this ball on some of the PBA patterns when a wet/dry ball is called for. However, if you are looking for hook in a mid price ball look no further. -------------------- John Walther III Track International PBA Eastern Region Staff Member

Lane Condition bowled on= fresh oil 42ft on new synthetic hpl lanes. Bowling style= Right Handed semi Cranker, 18-19 mph ball speed. Ball condition= Brand new in box surface condition layout= drilled fingertip, pin below and in between the fingers, cg moved rt about 3".My PAP is 5" over, and 3/4" up. I laid out the Aggressive the same as my Angular. I did this hoping that i would get a ball that rolls a little earlier in heavier oil. I made the correct choice. It has a very strong roll, good hook, and hit at the pins. No problems cutting thru the heaviest of oil with this ball. It's seems to love oil. Definatly a great addition to the angular, and it's brother the Freak A Zoid. If you need hook, get the Aggressive!

Very good ball from Track. The Peak particle is different, and in a very good way. You do not get early roll with reactive kind of backend out of particle balls....that rule is shot dead with this ball. If you liked the Havoc, get this ball---very similiar (minus the asymmetrical core) only stronger in each part of the lane. The Aggressive responds well to hand position changes. It is very readable....STRONG....but readable. For many this is going to be their oil ball. I have toyed with the surface a bit and it responds well to being sanded down further than box, and it also does well if you sand it above the factory 1500.

I Drilled 2 Aggressive Particles one was 5 x4 with the pin under my middle finger with a balance hole on PAP (box surface) - This ball has a very nice smooth ARC with HUGE hit. This is a great ball on the fresh and will not over react. One I start to see a little carry down and a little more hook in the track I go to the second Aggressive Particle which is a 4 x 3 with the pin under my ring finger and balance hole 1 in down from PAP (slight shine) - This ball will skid a little more through the front a provide a quicker response to the friction on the back end. Both of these balls bit like a tank and so far I have not lost very many hits. Blaine Weninger TRACK PBA Regional Staff<scrip

This ball is great for fresh long patterns, it reads very well in the fronts...Strong Arc...Looking for that ball to move in the Oil this is the one for you... Mine is drilled, 5" by 5" with pin 1" above midline...This ball is a great benchmark ball especially walking into some bowling centres that you don't know very well...You will be able to get a good read with this ball, and then make your selection from there...I found this ball to be a good compliment inbetween my Rule and my Xception. You looking for that ball that reads the lanes very well through the entire lane this is the ball to pick up...I find this to be a very strong point in my Arsenal, and I guess thats why the name says it all... this ends my review on the Aggressive take a look at the Angular review....If you have any questions please feel free to ask....

This ball from Track is a must for any tournament bowler's "arsenal". Ranks right up there with the most aggressive, early rolling balls, but not as early as the Animal or Mutant with similar layouts. In my opinion, the symmetrical core provides a nice fit between the Animal and the Rule. The surface polishes very easily, so therefore I wouldn't hesitate to use a stronger layout for a Tweener or Stroker. This ball does exactly what Track says it should do. Not only does it perform on oil, but the color combo is one of the best yet. A definite winner from Track!
