Track Rule Bowling Ball

(20 reviews) Write a Review

The rules of the game have changed. New from Track, the Rules uses the Morpheus 2.0 core and takes it to the next level, adding a rev-enhancing lever so the ball revs faster, responds to friction better and gives you more angle on the backend. We topped this improved core with our new GOO coverstock, which gives you more friction in oil without giving up the back end angularity offered by the core. This cutting-edge combination of Track technology makes the Rule unstoppable and lets you redefine the rules of your own game. Goo Reactive: *Revolutionary new reactive coverstock *Comparable hook potential to many particle coverstocks without sacrificing backend *Wider range of motion with surface adjustments

Reaction Shape: Strong Arc.

    The purpose of my ceremony would be the revealing of a mask that had been found from an ancient Native American civilization. It was from a group called the Anthonians. They were from about a million years ago. The mask was used in a ritual of prosperity that seemed to bring whoever had it great wealth and abundance. Because of the things that it could do it was once stolen by a group of thieves. But it was said that as they started to get further away form the Anthonians campsite they fell instantly to their death, and the mask was never seen again until now. The ritual that they created was that they would dance around a fire and pray to their gods that would bring them their wealth and abundance in money and food. The ceremony will be taking place in the site that is known today to be the living ground of the Anthonians. The ritual will be preformed by the actual ancestors of the Anthonians. The people that are there to watch will just be wearing Native American clothes with simp

    very good ball all you have to do is trust the ball and don't let up on the speed. as the lanes dry up you can just keep moving in and it still hit very hard. DISLIKES, not alot, just had to find the right surface for the ball. that the ball is discontinued. I shot my 1st 800 with this ball and have been doing very well with it. LIKES that my ball is not very old and still has a lot more games on it. If anyone can get this ball, I think that you will be very pleased with it. now I shot 300 with it just a week ago.

    Well I dont know how this ball is totaly drilled but it is a position to go longer and have more backend. I do know that I have been looking for a ball with this reaction sence I sold my original ICON. This ball gives me this same reaction but it is reactive. I have been able to dominate lane conditions with it. I took it to my heavy oil leage at this league I am in in PA (IM FROM OHIO). This ball just didnt care that it was heavy oil it floted down the lane and hit a wall. It did what it does every where, oil or not. I wish I would have taken Carl Hurds advice earlyer before this ball was discountined. I want another one. I will probly try the rule delta soon. Or a desert heat.

    Great ball for today's lane conditions. The Rule provides a unique look in that it revs early, but gets through the heads easily, driving hard to the pocket. Seems almost illegal in how it finds the pocket and crushes the pins. Although the Rule is too strong for a reference ball, it does help show where the oil is on the lane and if there is carrydown. Versatile ball that played as well on fresh conditions as well as a 2nd shift late league. Although I have kept in box condition, the Rule's cover can be easily tuned. Drillings are very versatile due to assymetric cover and use of MB. Averaged almost 10 pins higher with Rule than without for first 200+ average. If you have been worried about trying an assymetric, then don't worry and go get the Rule before it is discontinued!

    ive had this ball since its release, and i loved it then and its still number one in my bag, i own lots of balls, especially track, number one maker out there, and i still favor this ball over any ball ive ever thown, it will hook on any surface, put mud out there and it will still hook, and also it will not over react on drier conditions, it holds unbelievably well, no matter how its drilled, the ball is just phenomonal, i own the gp2 and this ball still hooks more than that, for a non partical ball, it is the most aggresive and easy to use ball on the market today hands down.

    This ball is really smooth on medium to heavy oil. I can play almost everywhere by changing my hand. This ball is too strong for me to play off the gutter. Pin is 4 inches. Pin up and to the right of my ring finger. CG is kicked out but not as much as the pin. NOT STACKED. Mass Bias is like 1/2 to the right of my thumb hole. Works well for me when I hit it with a scoth brite. Can some one tell me why everytime this ball is cleaned it seems like it gets polished.

    The Rule picks up a roll very well for a reactive, and has tons of ht and move of a reactive, but gets through the heads with ease, just like a particle. I have had 6 of these, 3 drilled with the pin under ring, cg in the palm, and mass bias left of the thumb. My favorite is the factory surface one, but the polished one gets down the lane a little further when the lanes break down a little. I also scuffed one up a bit to 600 grit wet sand, and it picks up a roll sooner and has less backend of the factory surface one. I have 2 drilled with the pin by my ring, cg toward my PAP, and the Mass bias on my VAL. One is polished and one is factory surface. The factory surface one is very strong and rolls very true for me. The polished one is amazing in the way it reacts off the dry, as it is very angular for a ball drilled to roll early! Every bowler needs one of these in their bag, and you better get one quick as rumor has it this ball will NOT be in Track's catalog next year and will be disc

    Everything works together with this ball. The polish I have on it with the torque and revs from the weight block. Simple harmonic motion. Beauty in all its glory. This ball is truly evolutionary, and revolutionary. Look at previous review, this is an update. Look at previous review, this is an update. Look at previous review, this is an update.

    If i was to compare this ball to the Phenom Unleashed. Well this is an easy one to explain. This ball couldnt even come close to the Phenom Unleashed. Think Track made a mistake here with this one. To upgrade bowling balls is one thing but to make out this ball hits more is incorrect. I have had the ball resurfaced and yet no improvement. The core is ok. but no pro shop owner can tell me reasons as to why ball isnt moving. Maybe just maybe it needs a sandpaper lane or it could do with being bowled at 3 mphs.. joke !!! Track need to go back to the drawing board with this one and find out why this ball doesnt hit as big as the Phenom Unleashed. Mind you just for a laugh I would even say that the Animal Untamed I have got moves more on lane than this P.O.S. i dont normally give out bad reviews but this one certainly gets my notice of R.I.P.......

    I've always wanted a solid aggressive reactive to round out my collection, and I think I've found it. I have this one drilled to roll early and even so, doesn't use up its energy when it gets to the backends. In fact, it still has plenty left when it reaches the pins. I can't see this being a dry lanes ball, that's what the Xception is for. Drilling it mildly would defeat the purpose, IMO. I've tried dull solid reactives before (e.g. Savage) but they didn't give me the look that this one does. Oil is its friend.

    The Rule and the goo coverstock give a different look than what Track has had prior to its release. Early roll and a good strong backend. It is not quite skid/snap, but skid and very strong a arc. Great ball for the heavier side of a house shot. The Rule responds very well to hand position changes, which is great when you need a different look on the lane for carry purposes or reaction purposes. Giving a particle type of early roll (a little later than a ball such as the Unleashed), and a dull reactive kind of backend all in one ball is a tool that can utilized by many. The Rule takes care of business when it reaches the pindeck.<scri

    When I talked to my proshop guy, and I said I wanted a strong ball for a variety of shots, he recomended the exception with the CG kicked out so it will move more in the back and the pin around a centemeter below my ring finger at a 45 degree angle. This drilling would create more of a mid lane move with more on the back. I was fine with that, but then I saw the rule he had in his shop. It had the CG about 4 inches below the pin and the mass bias around 5 right inches from the CG at a near perfect 90 degree angle. This would be a terrible ball for lefties, but a great ball for me, a righty. I talked to the proshop guy, and said that doesn't look normal, and he said your right, because with that layout, he said, you could have it drilled for stacked leverage without an axis hole. And that is exactly how I got it drilled, I have the CG directly in the center of my span, the pin about 2 inches above my ring finger at a 45 degree angle, and the mass bias about 3.5 inches directly rig

    Not that cheap. but you pay for what you get. sometimes its just time to put the ball up and bowl with yur back-up ball. like to put top spin on the ball. Really should look at all balls before you pay for a ball like this. Really have to get use to this ball if not it will curve all the way across and in the gutter. If you get everything else down such as where you throw it this ball will give you the results you want and i defiantly see i 300 game in my near future.

    Weight: 14lbs 0oz Pin: 3" Drilled: 4.5x3.5 pin under ring, mass bias in strong position (for bowler stats, check my profile) Hook: Wow! There's not much more I can say other than wow. The ball gets down the lane and when it encounters dry, it begins to move left - and it doesn't stop! I can play a very deep line with this ball. Compared to my Super Power Pearl, the ball outhooks it by at least 10 boards. Compared to my Phenom, it's stronger by a couple boards but it's more continuous through the pins. It seems to only start revving when it meets dry boards. This ball compliments my Animal very well! (10/10) http://teamtempest.us/ftp/dino/bowling/DINO/Rule(1)september-bowlerama.avi Hit: Hits VERY hard. Although it doesn't hit quite as hard as my Animal, it hits harder than all other balls I've thrown and seen thrown. Pin carry is absolutely awesome. This can be attributed to it's continuity through the pins. I've had the ball for about 3 months now and I've only l

    A must own for anyone planning on playing a sport shot! many different directions you can go with this ball. Drilled for max length and backend Not a problem to carry best advice grip and rip it will make the corner on just about every different type of shot i played. With the performance of this ball along with what i have seen from track over the last 2 years they will be the company to compete with. Move over ebnoite and storm track will own the market . how many more words do i need in this damn thing do i need to talk aout track anymore ...

    I layed out my ball with the pin 4 1/2 and Mass bias with a 5 1/2 to the PAP. It is a nice aggressive layout, but with a controlled break point. I can go down and in; as well as, move inside when the lanes break down. The ball has a consistent reaction at the break point that can make adjusting easier knowing that your ball is going to come back into the pocket. This ball will be good for anyone that is looking to shoot all angles and low rev bowlers that would like a little more reation.<

    Chuck at Track was kind enough to send us an X out to test so that we could write a review on this ball. I laid this ball out according to Rule Drill sheet. I have a 11 1/2" track, 5 1/2" up 1/2" pap. I put the Mass Bias 4 1/2 from my PAP and the Pin 4". The pin was 2 inches above my grip line. I tested this ball on 4 different shots; 3 house shots and 1 sport shot. The two medium oil house shots, the ball was long and strong to the pocket. The ball was clean through the head and reved up in the middle, then made a hard move to the pocket about 40 feet. On the heavier oil house shot, I had to slow my ball speed down to get the ball to recover and start to corner a little earlier. On a 35 foot sport shot, with heavy volume in the heads, I also found that I had to keep my ball speed slower so that the ball would not miss the break point. Most bowlers will not have a problem getting this ball to the pocket, as my normal ball speed is around 18-20 mph. I think this i

    Just got this ball yeterday and tried it out in league play. The lanes were very greasy and oily. Boy does this ball live up to it's word. Ass i watched the ball destroy the pins, I was amazed at the ball's power. But tis ball really tests your skills. During my second game, i rolled six strikes in a row for a 218 game, but ended the night with a stnkin 130 game. Just remember that it's not the ball, it's you. So if you want a real test, I suggest that you go out and buy this ball.

    Talked with Mark Baker at a trade show a few weeks ago and he really raved about this ball and the goo coverstock. I can see why. I'm a higher rev player and Mark helped me with a layout (4 x 3 1/2) that would produce a nice forward roll reaction in the soup. Thanks Mark. Coverstock looks to be easy to tweak also. Left mine in the box condition and threw it on a medium to heavy pattern last night. Couldn't miss early, had 15 to what ever! As the heads went needed to move deeper but didn't. Tried to be to cute with it when I should of made a big move. Still, as the pattern dried the ball never rolled out. Love my Unleashed and this thing out hooked it 5 boards! Already sold three after last night league. Ball looks great also. Thanks Track.
