Track Robo Rule Bowling Ball

(11 reviews) Write a Review

Designed for heavy oil, its u-shaped flip block moves more mass away from the center of the core, creating more energy for the backend. And the light load GP2 coverstock allows it to do it all without sacrificing strong midlane reaction. So what exactly does all of this mean to you? Simply that you get the best qualities of a symmetric core in a powerful asymmetric design. Brought to you by the design team at Track. Because we believe bowling better isn't about being the loudest Ö it's about bowling smarter.

    As a high speed, medium rev bowler this ball works well for me as long as there is some oil in the heads. Generally balls with a good amount of flare work well for me with my speed/rev combo and the RoboRule definately is a keeper! I Bowl on an average house shot where they oil to about 40 ft with typical taper to the edges with a good concentration of oil allowing all the bowlers to use their aggresive equipment at least for the first game. Have had the ball for 2 weeks and have been able to use it for first 2 games in my league each week and as the lanes dry out I'm better off switching to less aggressive coverstock. Using the ball out of box cover and my early impression is a great ball if you have the lane conditions to get some length and it hits like a truck!

    Layout- pin 4 1/4 x MB 4 3/4 Surface- 1500 no polish Reaction I have never rolled a particle ball that had this kid of backend reaction like this. I loved the gp2 for its backend but the robo rule has more. I dont see myself using it on anything under a midheavy condition. Rating 10 Readabily I dont think this would be a good ball to read the lanes with because if it was dry it would roll out, yet if it was to flooded I could see it skidding out. I do see it as a ball you would know where and how to let it go on its condition. Rating 9.5. Versatility I do think that with a even weaker drilling and the right surface prep that a robo rule could be very versital. Yet I can really see it as a pure flood ball. I think this is one of the most versitil heavy oil particle balls made ever from any company. Rating 10 Hit I love the hit this ball has. I have not seen a ball cary the 10 pin as well as this ball has carriered it for me. I love the way this ball hits, even when

    Drilled this ball rather aggressively due to where the bomb was located and was afraid it was going to burn up to quickly, but to my suprise the ball(with a little speed) makes it through the front clean with a very strong read in the midlane. Ball carries well and would be a great addition to any arsenal. This ball DOES need some head oil though otherwise you will find yourself throwing at many ten pins. Overall another great ball from Track. And now with PA and Big Wes on staff, we should see some amazing things this year. Jason Kindelspire

    Lately i've been morphed into a hardcore fan of Track. Decided to get the meanest ball they had to offer, and so far it's the meanest ball I've ever seen. I'm a full dot to the left of where I stood with my Ultimate Inferno. I usually play down and in a lot, cuz it's easier to score that way, but do enjoy hooking the lane at times to get some extra pin action. This ball I can't play outside with cuz it'll hook to the 7 pin. It's easy to swing and easy to read. Even if I get a little fast it'll check up and still hook like a monster. It is now my go to ball for any sort of wet condition. Unreal. To all those people who want a ball that just flat out hooks, go with this ball. I've owned a Ultimate Inferno, Absolute Inferno, Action, Throttle, XCeption, Triple X, and this ball outhooks them all. The surface is almost sticky and the weight block is insane. And just so you know, if your pro shop guy doesn't put in an extra hole, it will more than likely be illegal. No matte

    Ball has a 3" pin, placed just under the ring finger, CG kicked out about 1". I needed a more agressive ball, to be able to handle a heavy oil condition, or when I wnated to move inside the middle of the lane. This ball does more than what I expected it to do. Probably more than I really wanted. Not a complaint, just a personal observation. The ball starts flaring very early, more than any other ball I have thrown. The backend is something that you need to see to believe. You can play inside and tight, and still get good roll, and carry. Or you can "open up" the lane and swing it wide, knowing it will turn the corner and come back. The pin carry of this ball is incredible. It hits very hard, and still keeps the pins low on the pin deck. Once again, for me, this is not an everyday ball, with the reaction I get from it. If I start out on a fresh shot, I start thinking about putting it away by the 2nd game. For heavy oil, this is one that I will have to wait and see, as

    Just got this ball 2" pin 2 3/4 top weight drilled at 12 O'Clock. CG kicked out 45 degres from center grip line. I drilled this ball to go a little longer since I play on a typical house shot. My first night with this ball was right after a tournament so the typical house shot was non-existant. My other three balls would not make a move to the pocket but when I pulled this baby out, WOW. Clean through the fronts, great midlane turn, and an enourmous backend. This thing never stopped turning. I havn't got to through it on a typical house shot but I'm assuming that it will be good for a game to a game in a half before I have to put it back in the bag. Over all, strongest hitting ball Iv'e ever owned but I did hit some dry edges swinging it out a bit and it did tend to roll out once I did that. Thinking about putting a light polish on the ball to see what happens.

    The Robo-Rule comes to us with the new "Biaxial, U-shaped flip block arms core, or what is called the Robo Core. This new core gives you the best of both worlds. The control of symmetrical core designs and the power of asymmetric designs. We found this ball and core design to be very driller friendly. We have already put several of theses balls on the lanes with our Proshop Tournament staff and everyone is finding a place for their Robo Rule in their bags. Don't forget, this ball is strong! adjusting the coverstock to match up better for your lane conditions is a must with this ball. Those of you who bowl in tournaments and need a ball for heavier lane condition patterns then this ball will be your answer. The Robo Rule will cut threw the midlane with ease. We highly recommend this ball to all bowlers and suggest that you just need to keep it simple on strength of layouts. The core and cover on this ball does not need alot of help! Your proshop professional will be a

    I just bought this ball to give me an edge on heavy oil conditions. I bowled five games with it on a well worn down lane that hadn't been freshly oiled since the day before. I noticed that even when I hit the pocket high, the ball carried so well that it gave me a strike instead of a bad split. In other words, this ball is very forgiving. I started around the 25th board, threw it out to the 8 board and placed a lot of spiin on the ball. the ball roared into the pocket and kept the pins low. At one point, I rolled 8 or 9 strikes in a row with it. I reccommend this ball to anyone that wants a very forgiving ball that can be used on a variety of conditions. I have found that particle balls from track are like no other and I'm very successful with them. Great Job Track on making another great ball. 10/10

    Hey everyone I am back again from North of the border.... Here with the waited review on the Robo Rule... Drill pattern used for this ball, pin: 3 1/2" X M.B: 4" Position 2. Pin 2 1/2" above midline, balance hole 31/32 3 1/2" deep.... Out of box, Robo is extremely clean in the fronts clearing the heads with ease with the help of the light load GP2 particle that is in it. The midlane pick up on this ball is very strong, but also wit hthe particle in it you do not lose its energy for the backs, you can see the ball actually tilt up to make its move for the pocket. The backends when this ball see dry it just starts heading left and doesnt stop.... One of the strongest balls I have ever thrown. The carry with the pins is great, it keeps the pins very low and gets them scattering around in a hurry.... Excelllent ball for those longer and heavier oil patterns it will still take the corner.... Short patterns and lighter units of oil, you may want to keep it in the bag... For those bowlers out

    I drilled my Robo Rule with a 5.5 in pin (above middle finger) with the MB 1.5 from my axis (about 20 degrees). The first time I used it I also added a small amount of 1200 polish as I assumed even with the fairly weak drilling this ball would be pretty strong out of the box. I soon learned that this ball gets through the front VERY easy and with the weak drill pattern I was having a hard time getting the ball to read the midlane. So I took the ball back to the spinner and hit it with 1000 sandpaper and got it back close to the original box finish. That did the trick. The ball still gets through the heads very well and rolls strong through the midlane with a very nice smooth even move the last 15-20 feet. This ball hits like all of my other Track equipment, AWESOME. It keeps the pins low and continues through the pin-deck. I may have drilled this ball a little too weak and may have defeated the purpose of the ball but when I drill my other Robo I plan to drill it quite a bi

    Ball: pin 4 in. from PAP 2 1/2 in. above midline, MB 1 1/2 in. inside of VAL. The factory finish is where I left the surface. Lane Conditions: I have only been able to use the Robo at my home house so far, which is basically a house wall. 35ft buffed to 44ft and it tapers from the middle out to the gutter. HOOK: Heavy Oil- The Robo Rule is going to shine when I hit a heavy tournament pattern. It does not pick up its roll as soon as the GP2, and it does roll up sooner than the Delta 1. 9 out of 10 Medium Oil- Essentially this is the type of pattern that I have been able to use the Robo on. It is just too much ball with the factory surface to use on the medium patterns. It backends very well off of the dry backends. I good coat of Magic Shine would help it to become much more playable on a medium pattern. 7 out of 10 Light Oil- Forget trying to use the Robo on a light pattern unless you throw it 25mph and have 3 revs throughout the lane. 3.5 out of 10 TOTAL HOOK:
