Kinetic Specs
Kinetic relates to the motion of material bodies and the forces and energy associated there within. Kinetic features a newly-designed low mass bias core called Shuttle and a new veneer called UMP GEN 1. The best way to describe Kinetic's motion is simply Skid/Flip. Using a low mass bias designed core shape we have created a ball that is great for medium to heavy conditions and works well when you need to get the ball to flip on the backend.

The Track Kinetic is the first ball in their UMP series. After all the hype we had heard we had to see what this ball did.
Pin to PAP(5 1/8" over 1/8" up) - 5 1/8"
Mass Bias Position - 2" right of thumb hole
CG Placement - grip center
Balance Hole - none
Surface Preparation - Out of Box Finish (2000 Abralon w/ Powerhouse Factory Finish)
What I Was Looking For In This Ball Layout:
We used Track's recommended ball layout on this one. We always find that if a ball manufacturer takes the time to illustrate a layout that they recommend it is best to try that first. We always suggest this to our customers because they have obviously done plenty of testing to get to that layout for optimal ball reaction. Everything we have heard about this ball told us it was going to be a very aggressive skid/flip ball reaction. We went with that and we were hoping to see a strong ball motion even with its glossy finish. We were hoping this ball would be aggressive enough to use early in the night on the fresh pattern and maybe even go long enough to carry us through a normal league night well into the third game.
What I Ended Up With in the Ball and Layout:
This should be one of our easier and possibly shorter reviews in a while. A lot of times a company comes out with a ball and they have a general idea of the ball motion they are looking for and they know pretty much what to expect by their own testing before the ball is released. Track nailed this one. It did exactly what they said it would do, it went long and made a serious non-stopping left hand turn.
This ball was so strong but so clean through the front that it was no wonder it had so much energy to spare in the back part of the lane. I wont't waste any of our time with all the specifics because it can be summed up quicky, SKID/FLIP.
If that is the ball motion you are looking for the Track Kinetic would be a great ball choice. So far from what I have seen from Track and Columbia's new ball line the move to Kentucky was the best thing that ever happened to those companies.

Laid the ball out according to Drill #1 on drill sheet with a small balance hole. Better than expected and would recommend this ball to everyone. TRACK IS BACK!!!!!
