Equation2 Specs
Based on our Perfect Scale™ ratings, may we also suggest the following items.
The Equation2, Track's newest mid performance ball features the symmetric Tri-Core Titanium inner piece with Track's strongest reactive coverstock - Goo LS. This core/coverstock combo will produce length through the front part of the lane and a sharp angle motion through the pin deck. This ball features an RG of 2.50 and a differential of 0.040.
The Perfect Scale™: Helping Bowlers Make Better Decisions. Because each manufacturer uses a different method for indicating a ball's hook potential, bowlingball.com developed a way for the consumer to compare bowling balls across all manufacturers.

Track Equation2 Reviewed by: BJI Reviews By Joe Cerar Jr. 02/13/2007 00:00

The ball's symmetric ceramic-nugget core is conservatively designed compared to the original Equation. Unfortunately, this ceramic nugget core will not permit the needed drilling depth for the Turbo Switch Grip. The RG is higher at 2.52 and the Diff is lower at .040. This is a prime example when less can be more...
Coverstock:
The "2" utilizes Track's strongest pearl reactive cover, Goo LS. It is highly polished with Track Magic shine polish. The coloring is burgundy with purple pearl.
Manufacurer's Intent:Track designed the Equation 2 to complement the original Equation for lighter and shorter patterns. They kept the high friction-responsive cover and simply modified it to add length. Less flare potential will generally add length and reduce flip for medium and lower rev rate players. Conversely, higher rev rates will often see the additional length, but with more flip.
Test Results:
Strikes, strikes and more strikes. This is as simple and as succinct as I can put it. My test staff and I had our highest strike carry percentage with this ball on all the medium and lighter patterns. Surprisingly, we also had a very high carry percentage on heavier fresh patterns as well, but we did need to see friction earlier to achieve this. A high carry percentage is desirable, of course, but it is neither the only -- nor the most important -- feature to consider when choosing to use or purchase a particular ball. We also need to determine which balls create an enhanced target area and are not overly sensitive to release imperfections so we can maintain and control the pocket. We also want balls which read oil transition intelligently, which aids in our ability to move adeptly and hopefully preserve carry. When we have all of these features and a high carry percentage, then and only then will we score our highest.
When to Use:
Our best results were on lighter-medium to medium-heavier patterns. On these oil volumes, we saw our best match-ups for optimal scoring. We saw very easy length through lighter volumes, and a strong arc to flip reaction off dry. When we strengthened our releases, we saw noticeably more response off friction than with our softer hand action. Strokers will be able to straddle the oil line and simply let the ball and lane do all the work. The Equation 2 was too responsive off the clean backends on our fresh Sport pattern, but matched up much better after midlane breakdown and carrydown occurred. We could move in and play the friction to create a strong move through and over the carry down. I'm sure both Wes Malott and Patrick Allen will make mucho dinero with the new 2. In my opinion, Track's lineup is becoming very formidable.
