Track Heat Lava

Track continues the success of the Heat bowling ball line with the Track Heat Lava. This ball creates easy length through the front of the lane and then generates more motion from the midlane on. This ball takes the QR-7 Pearl coverstock with a polished finish and wraps it around the Modified Tri-Core to offer more versatility allowing it to pair well with medium as well as lighter oiled lanes. The medium RG and low differential found on this ball allow it to store enough energy for the backend and keep its reaction consistent and predictable roll after roll.

Question:


How would this ball compare to the Triton

12/29/2019 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


The Triton Elite is a duller while the Track Heat is polished so the difference is going to be in when the balls react on the lanes. The Triton Elite will read earlier and the Track Heat will break later on the backend.

Question:


How does this ball compare to the MVP Pearl bowling ball

1/10/2020 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


They are going to be very comparable. The Heat Lava is an upper mid performance so it may have just a little more hook potential but it would not be by much. They both have similar length on the lanes with the pearl coverstock and polished finish.

Question:


Since the heat lava in a 14 pound ball is a 2.49 dies this mean the ball will roll early

1/14/2020 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


The RG is referring to the weight block but this may not always tell you what the ball does. In this case the weight block has a lower RG so it would want to start rolling early but the ball has a polished finish so it will not be able to get traction earlier on the lanes so it does not read early. It breaks later on the lanes because of the finish and coverstock.

Question:


What is the hook potential on a scale of 1-10

2/5/2020 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


On medium to lighter oil this ball would give you about an 8 compared to other balls that are rated for medium to light oil. However, it you are comparing this to all bowling balls then it would be like a 4-5 because there are a lot of bowling balls that are able to handle more oil and that will automatically make them stronger hooking over all.

Question:


How would this ball compare to the storm phase 3 or astro physix or MATCHUP pearl

3/7/2020 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


This would be a closer reaction to the Phaze III than the other two options. The AstroPhysix is much stronger and needs medium to heavier oil to react correctly. The Match Up Pearl is rated for the same lane conditions as the Heat Lava but the MatchUP Pearl is not as strong as the Heat Lava so the Phaze III is in the same performance level as an upper mid performance ball and has similar length and works in medium oil conditions which is also a great option for the Heat Lava. The Phaze III may be just a little stronger but not by much.

Question:


How would this compare to the Track Ultra Heat on the same lane conditions with pin up?

3/22/2020 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


The Heat Lava has more length because of the pearl coverstock so it may be a little sharper backend reaction but the Ultra Heat would be a stronger hook overall because it starts reading a little earlier on the lane.

Question:


I own and like my Ultra Heat Track 15 pounds on lighter oil house shots 38 feet. I think I want to drop down to a 14 pound Track Lava. I am 74 years old. Doyou think the lighter ball will still give me the hitting power and pin carry I now get with my 15 ???

8/16/2020 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


Unfortunately as you drop in weight the ball will not have as good of hitting power and drive through the pins. However, to help get a similar reaction you may look to get a ball that can create more entry angle to the pocket. If the ball has more angle into the pocket it will carry better and give you better pin action to make up for the weight loss. This ball will have a little more length and a little more angular backend than the Ultra Heat so it could be pretty similar in how it carries.
