The Track 920A was designed to be more Angular on medium/heavy oil patterns than the Track 715A. Built on the LEGGO core platform, the designers modified it by raising the RG to 2.57 and tweaking the horsepower of the core (Intermediate Differential) to .020, thus gaining extra length while still having plenty of hitting power.

The coverstock chosen for this ball is the HP Gen 3 with Performance Pearl. The Pearl helps to make it more Angular on the backend. The surface is 4000 grit Abralon sanded. Each new ball from Track will include a microfiber cleaning pouch with instructions on its use.
That’s right folks – it’s almost the holiday season and Black Friday / Cyber Monday is right around the corner! It’s crazy how fast it sneaks up on you! If you haven’t already, it’s time to start thinking about gifts for your favorite bowlers! In order to help make things a little easier for you, here is our guide to what’s hot this year!
Bowling Balls
By far the hottest bowling ball this holiday season will be the Roto Grip Mutant Cell
The newest entry into the award-winning Cell Line is sure to expand on that success! More hook and angularity than the Roto Grip Cell will give Roto Grip fans a new look to add to their arsenal!
Whether you’re an experienced tournament bowler, or someone just starting to bowl, having your own shoes is at the top of the list of things you need. If you’re bowling tournaments or leagues in different houses, being prepared to slide on any type of surface is so important. And, if you’re just starting, having your own shoes is imperative so you can learn to have consistency with your approach every time you bowl. And plus, who wants to play 4 or 5 dollars every time you hit the lanes?
The Dexter Men's SST 8 White/Black and Dexter Women's SST 8 SE are the ultimate in bowling shoe technology. Interchangeable heels and soles on both feet will enable you to slide the same amount in any bowling alley you come across!
We hope this little guide to this year’s hottest products will help you decide what to buy for the bowlers in your family! If it hasn’t, you can always get them a gift certificate! Come on in to Bellair Lanes Pro Shop and we’ll get you set up with whatever you need!
The second launch in the 5 series, the Track 505A, was designed to be more angular at the breakpoint. If the Track 715A was too aggressive on the lane patterns you bowl on, then the 505A will be a great choice! The Track 505A rates a 177.8 on the bowlingball.com Perfect Scale®.
The newest addition the the Roto Grip Cell line of bowling balls is a freak of nature! The Roto Grip Mutant Cell expands on the success of the original Cell Series by introducing the Nucleus II Core. The Nucleus II Core takes the original Nucleus Core and removes mass from the axes to create a higher mass bias differential to have an earlier revving ball for heavier volumes, but still save enough energy for the backend to ensure Roto Grip’s world renowned hit and carry.
The Roto Grip Mutant Cell carries a 217.5 on the bowlingball.com Perfect Scale®, making this the most aggressive ball Roto Grip has ever created! It’s time to take the freak off the leash and let it loose on your competition!
We know that all of you Morich fans have been waiting for a ball that gets down the lane and takes a left turn. Well it’s finally here, but…. you weren’t expecting THIS MUCH HOOK! The Morich Craze offers the largest hooking ball ever and it’s all in the backend. With a 211.5 on the bowlingball.com Perfect Scale® this ball is THE backend monster!
The Morich Craze is powered by a lower total diff. version of our patented Awakening core and surrounded with VIGOR (MoRich’s brand new and “Most Hookingest” cover).
If you’re a diehard Morich fan, you’ve never given them a shot or anywhere in between, this is a ball that needs to be in your bag!

The Wild Card from the Advanced Performance line and the Diamondback from the Performance line will be the biggest hooking balls ever released by Brunswick in those respective lines!
Both balls will give you a pretty clean look through the heads and the famous Brunswick mid lane read!
After more than 18 months of research, development, and extensive lab and field tests, Brunswick is proud to introduce the newBrunswick C (System)2.5 16 lb ONLY bowling ball, developed in close collaboration with Hall of Fame bowler Carmen Salvino. In addition to being a legendary bowler, Salvino conducts scientific research and holds multiple patents related to bowling ball design.
This new line of performance bowling balls features Chemical Friction Technology (CFT). As Salvino explains, “The coverstock was chemically designed to have shaped molecular structures that produce a high coefficient of friction. Because of the shape of the molecule, when the ball goes into rolling friction, which occurs at the back part of the lane, slippage is eliminated and the ball will give you maximum entry and carry. This is the advantage of chemical friction versus mechanical friction.
“The chemistry is versatile enough that even if sanded or polished, it will not change the shape of the molecule. That is the uniqueness of this chemistry.”
With it’s 4000 grit micro-pad finish and I-Block core (designed to be strong and very readable), the Brunswick C (System)2.5 16 lb ONLY will get through the heads cleanly and make a strong and predictable move on the back part of the lane.
Brunswick has really put lots of research and development into this release, and we think this will be one of the best balls they’ve ever produced!
This follow up to the AMF 300 Mega Friction will give you two of the most defined ball movements on the market. the Mega Friction hooks as early and as hard on oil as anything ever made. And the AMF 300 Sideways is true to it’s name, it goes long and makes an extreme snap on the backend!
This ball is going to be one of the best balls of the year, in my opinion. Expect the AMF 300 Clutch to get through the heads smoothly and make a very strong but predictable motion in the middle and back parts of the lane. Exactly what you need in the clutch. And the Clutch won’t let you down!
__________
AMF has also added 2 new lines to their Entry Level arsenal, the Hype and Smoke lines!
Both lines will give beginning bowlers great options to take their games to the next level, or for advanced bowlers to used on challenging dry conditons!
Thanks AMF for some great products! We can’t wait to see these things go down the lane!
