Up-Rising combines the largest single density core and an all new Jet Black Polished HP GEN 2 Reactive coverstock. Not only will you be getting one of the strongest engines in our sport today, but one of the most forgiving coverstocks ever seen.

Pin to PAP(4 1/2" over 1/2" up) - 4 1/2"
Mass Bias Position - 3" Right of Center Line
Balance Hole - None

Surface Preparation - Left at Box Finish

What I Was Looking For In This Layout: When we first got our hands on Track's latest high performance release, The Up-Rising, we were very excited. There was a lot of hype about this ball so we couldn't wait to test it out on the lanes. We used Track's basic layout #1 on our Up-Rising. This put the pin 1" above my center of grip and the mass bias 3" right of the center line. This layout is supposed to allow for a big hook with strong continuation through the pins.

What I Ended Up With In This Ball Layout: Out of the box, this ball reacted just like they said it would. Super clean through the heads and saved all of its energy for the backend. I truly enjoyed the motion this ball gave me of the breakpoint. Through the middle of the lane, I could tell when this ball was starting to make its move. Once it shifted gears, this ball didn't play around. I received very little deflection once this ball turned off the corner.

I tested this ball out on our THS. I tried to play multiple lines to see if this ball would have any weak areas. I moved right and stood on 15 to play up the 2nd arrow and took my hand out of the ball to see what that would do to the reaction. I expected the ball to jump sooner when I moved right due to more friction, but once again the Up-Rising did what they claimed it would do. It got me through the heads without burning up a great amount of energy and still ripped the rack. After I threw a few shots outside, I decided to test its range. I moved 20 boards left to stand on the 35 board and decided to throw a few normal shots. I was targeting 23 at the arrows and getting the ball out to 7 at the breakpoint. Here's where the Up-Rising really shines. This ball created around 5 boards of area for me down the lane. Off the breakpoint, the Up-Rising gave me a consistent read off the breakpoint every shot and showed no signs weakness through the pins.

The only area I did not have success with the Up-Rising was to the extreme left inside angle I tried to play. For what this ball is made to do, I would not have expected it to make such a great move, but this also could have been in part to the drilling layout and of the course the pattern it was tested on.

Overall, we were very impressed with what we saw from Track's Up-Rising. The coverstock is going to allow all types of bowlers to play various parts of the lane. This is not the most aggressive ball on the market today, but rather it will be considered one of the most powerful yet forgiving balls you can own. Did you find this review helpful? Yes No

I drilled this with the number 2 drilling on it. The Uprising is much cleaner through the front part of the lane than the Rising was and provides and much sharper movement in the backend. With this different motion on the backend, the Uprising hits twice as hard as the Rising did. The carry I witnessed with this ball was incredible, just like the Rising when it looked like I would flat 7 (I’m left handed) I still managed to get it out. The Uprising isn’t the prettiest ball in the bag, but it should be one of the first to come out of your bag.

I have drilled this ball for a few customers. Pin placements have been between 5 to 5 1/2 and thrown with the box finish. Everyone of them has told this is an incredible ball that has great mid lane reaction and a strong arching move to the pocket. They have also told me that it is one of the hardest hitting balls that they have in their bag. Did you find this review helpful? Yes No

When I saw track had a new high performance ball out, it peaked my interest. I honestly haven't thrown Track since the good ole' Triton days. I saw a guy in league throwing one and it looked like this guy was carrying everything, you know the type you can't stand to watch? Well I decided to buy one of these to see if I could start carrying better myself. After the few weeks of league so far, I really impressed at how well this ball clears the heads and reads the midlane. So much smoother than the MoRich stuff that I throw. I can really predict what the ball is going to do. My summer average has gone up 6 pins in my Sport league so far, and I must say that my carry has improved. I am indeed impressed with the Up-Rising. I am looking forward to trying their other balls now too. Did you find this review helpful? Yes No

I sanded the ball to 600 to test it on oil. On the house shot described below, I went in to 15 and then into 20 not getting the ball out to the dry. Just before the end of the pattern the ball started to pick up roll and had a nice arc at the end. Carry was not a problem. Throwing the ball out to the dry the ball had enough continuation to still carry. Did not flatten out. More testing is need to determine if this ball will replace the overseas Brunswick I am using for oil.

Pick up this ball at the Vegas event. Thanks to Track for hosting the event. Here are my INITIAL impressions.

Out of the box, this is a good ball for medium to medium/heavy conditions. This ball revs quickly off the hand. The surface helps gets the ball down the lane and prevent rollout. Some Brunswick balls that rev this early would rollout for me, but the Uprising has good continuation. The ball revs harder than most other balls. (This is, if you normally get 10 revs before hitting the pins, this ball will give you a couple more revs due to the design of the ball.) Hit is good.

Me: Slower speed, but rev rate matches speed. If I throw faster, I become speed dominate. Stroker. PAP 5 across ½ up.

Lane Condition: House shot, medium heavy. Oil build up starts at about 8 board. Get the ball out early and it tends to hang and I leave a bucket or 2/10. (Oil on front of the lane on the 6/7 board.) 4/5 board the ball rolls early.

Ball: 15lb Starting top 2oz. Pin 5” from PAP with 1” in buffer from VAL. MB at 45 degrees. About ¾ side and ½ finger. No balance hole. Box surface.

Going up the 8/9 the ball revs quickly and give me a nice solid arc in to the pocket for a flush it. Standing at the same place and getting the ball out to 6/7 early the ball gives an even arc for a blow 5 strike. Normally this would leave me a bucket with other medium equipment. Throwing harder and going with a slight angle towards the pocket on the 4/5 the ball still revs quickly and make a slight move at the end. Throwing the ball extra slow and swinging the 11/12 out to almost 5 the ball give a rainbow arc back to the pocket. With other medium equipment and regular speed, I would be going down 6/7 or 5/6.

Need to try the ball dull and on oil. Maybe a good oiler. Not a skid/flip ball for me even with the box surface and drill pattern. The ball revs too quickly for that. This ball has potential for my tournament arsenal. Too early to tell.

Not a Track diehard so I don’t buy into everything that Track put out. However, I will give the ball a honest tryout.

I was one of the first bowlers to get the Track Uprising ball at my bowling center. As soon as I got it drilled and started throwing it, all my friends wondered what ball I was throwing. They couldn't believe it when I told them I was throwing Track! I'm a Hammer kind of guy, so I throw all the Widows. Because of the way this ball rolled, my entire team is now considering buying this ball. Very predictable with a ton of power at the pocket. Similar characteristics to the Widow Pearl, but rolls a little better for me! Did you find this review helpful? Yes No

I bought the Track Up-Rising because I wanted to try something new. I am so glad that I did because this ball is my new Favorite. I am so close to my first 300 it is driving me crazy. And shooting my highest score ever, 289, with this ball makes it even closer. It has to be coming soon.

This ball seems to get through the heads so cleanly it makes other balls look like they hook at my feet. And once it hits the break point is makes a great turn towards the pocket and hits very hard.

I highly recommend the Track Up-Rising. Did you find this review helpful? Yes No

I've been a huge fan of Track equipment for years, since they released the old Triton line. They have always made great stuff, and this ball is simply the best yet. Cleaner than any ball I've thrown in a long time and hits the pins with authority. Great product. Did you find this review helpful? Yes No

This is the first Track ball I've thrown in years, and let me tell you, WOW! I can't believe this thing! I've been throwing Brunswick for years and I've liked the reaction I've got, but they've got NOTHING compared to this ball! I'm really happy that I tried this ball out. Highly recommend.
