Pros:

Continuous, smooth

Cons:

Dry conditions

Best Uses:

Medium to heavy oil, transition play

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A Tournament bag must have!

Archetype: This high RG solid from Track should be in every tournament bag. The Archetype has the new I-core Slim which revs up later and gives a more versatile reaction as the lanes transition. The solid cover is strong and smooth and compliments the core motion flawlessly. Strong enough for heavier oil patterns, clean enough for transition control to maintain the pocket as the pattern moves left. The Archetype is a must have.

Strong

The archetype surprised me with how versatile it was for a bigger ball. I was able to play tight on long patterns but also get deeper when needed and the ball did not disappoint.

Fresh oil ball

This ball has been simply amazing. It’s a strong ball. The first shots were gutter to gutter. After it shined up a bit, the ball was phenomenal. I am by no means great at bowling, however my three highest games have been with this ball (234, 193, 181). This ball has been an excellent and I could not recommend it enough.

Archetype

Archetype is a very strong Asymmetrical solid. Lots of hook. Great step down from the Paragon solid. Works well on heavy to medium volumes of oil. Early rolling and big hook motion. Awesome color mix rolling down lane. Testing miss room out gave me more room then expected from big pieces like this. Still responds well and has good hitting power. Color mix is super cool.

Strong!

This ball is STRONG! If you need something for heavy volume or long patterns look no further because this ball practically has an engine in it.

Track Archetype

The Track Archetype stands out even before it hits the lane. The color combination certainly stands apart from anything else. I am usually not a fan of seeing the ball swirl as it rolls down the lane, but once I saw the performance this ball has, I changed my tune. The Archetype is a very strong ball that reads early and has an asymmetry to help it keep flaring while driving down lane. I used mine recently to start the tournament on the difficult 43' Earl Anthony pattern. It performed very well and helped pay for itself first time out. Should be a good heavy or fresh oil ball.

Pros:

Clean Cover, Big Backend

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

BIG Backend

The Track Archetype is a big hooking ball and is an excellent alternative to the Track Paragon – depending on the look you need on the lanes.

Where the Paragon for me is early rolling, strong mid-lane and a strong arc down-lane, the new Archetype is much cleaner through the front and seems to store more energy going through the mids. Once it reaches the end of the pattern, it makes a BIG turn off the spot and covers a ton of boards down-lane, without giving away the strength of forward roll.

If you are looking for a big asymmetric solid to play deeper on medium patterns, so need something to play straight on higher volume that you can trust to react to friction down-lane – then I strongly recommend the Track Archetype.

Pros:

Needs a lot of oil

Cons:

Not for dry lanes

Best Uses:

oil, tournaments

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

DRY LANES NEED NOT APPLY

A Speed dominant players dream, a rev dominant players nightmare. This ball will look great on heavy oil, or if you need the ball to hook.

Hi Ron, during the making of this ball they start sanding the ball with the 500 grit and finish with the 1500 grit.
