HAYS’ TRACK 505A BOWLING BALL REACHES 873
Apr 07, 2010
Sometimes a little persuasion can go a long way; just ask Volo, Ill., Tom Hays.
“I had not thrown a Track ball in years,” Hays said. “I called up a friend of mine and asked him for a recommendation on a new ball to drill. I’ll admit I was a little hesitant when he suggested the Track 505A. Needless to say I’m back on Track bandwagon!”
Since drilling the 505A a mere five weeks ago, Hays has tossed three 300 games along with an eye-popping 873 series in the Friday Night Invitational league at Hawthorne Lanes in Vernon Hills, Ill.
Tom put together games of 298, 275, and 300 during a night of bowling he will surely remember for a long time.
“I really never thought about what I was shooting while we were bowling. It wasn’t until later that I realized the score I just put up,” Hays explained. “The last game, once I threw the 11th strike, I just wanted to make sure I threw the 12th shot better than I did the first game! My series never even crossed my mind until we were finished bowling.”
Hays, a former collegiate bowler at Morehead State University, said that he may not be finished drilling Track balls just yet: “I think I see a 715C in my future.”
“The 505A is absolutely amazing, plain and simple,” Hays exclaimed. “I want to thank John Lee of Bowler’s Universe for his usual great job in drilling this ball for me and Chris Hester for recommending it! Track has a winner with this ball and I’m excited to see what they come out with next!”
Paul Figliomeni, Track Brand Manager, said the brand just continues to see more success with its products.
“We’ve had some great scores thrown with the 505a, the 715C and the 920A,” said Figliomeni. “We’ve really got some great products coming down the pipe, too. In May we’ll announce our 2010/2011 product line, and it’s going to knock your socks off.”
