Stealth Hybrid

I've recently had a chance to drill the recently released Track Stealth Hybrid. I had very good luck with the original Track Stealth so I was definitely interested in this ball. This ball further intrigued me as it shares the same coverstock as the Track Theorem, one of my favorite asymmetric core releases over the last 8 months or so. In a nutshell, while working at the trade show at Foxwoods, basically the Track Stealth Hybrid was best described as a "baby Theorem". The Stealth Hybrid features the original Stealth symmetric core as the original Stealth (low RG/high diff) wrapped by a Prime Response Hybrid coverstock with the HK-22 base colored in raven and navy blue. I drilled 2, one is with my favorite pin down layout- 60 x 5 x 70, the other I drilled with a stronger pin placement pin up. As box finish is the factory compound, I went over each one with a 2000 Siaair pad. The videos were shot on the new Bowlero Worcester THS which is basically a modified Kegel High Street.

The thing that always impressed me about the Theorem was as an asymmetric piece, how easily it got down the lane and how quick it was off the spot. I think the description of the Track Stealth Hybrid as a "baby Theorem" is very appropriate. The Stealth Hybrid did show a little more length as evidenced by the Theorem getting a trip 4 and the Stealth Hybrid being dead flush on similar shots. Even though as I've gotten old I've had to learn to keep my angles a little more in front of me and not open up as much, for fun I thought I'd try and move an arrow or so left and using more rotation, really open up. I wanted to see if the Stealth Hybrid with its quicker response would work. With what the Stealth Hybrid showed, I can do that with ease as well! The difference between the two was that I was a board or 2 further right with the Stealth Hybrid. But both showed a very quick response when they saw friction. In all honesty, given the amount of friction in our new house shot, I would definitely be starting with a slower response piece of equipment to blend out the pattern. But once the pattern transitions, I could easily see the Stealth Hybrid in play. Generally, I could easily see the Stealth Hybrid at its best when the lanes are transitioning and the player needs to move left and open up. Alternatively, it could also be in play perhaps on a medium volume fresh pattern that has some distance to it. Basically, if you liked the Theorem, you'll absolutely like the Stealth Hybrid!

The Stealth Hybrid is readily available- see your pro shop for more information.

The Stealth Hybrid not only looks great with the dark Raven and Navy blue colors and the blue logo, it's a beast on the lanes. Combining the HK22 Prime Response cover used on the Track Theorem and the very strong, high flaring Stealth Core, this ball gets down the lane easily with a very hard, but controlled hook motion down lane.

Looks like another quality piece from Track. The Stealth Hybrid has the Prime Response Hybrid coverstock along with HK22 additive. This is the same combo you see on the Theorem, which has been my favorite Track ball for a while now. Throw in the Stealth core & you've got yourself a really good bowling ball. The shiny cover allows the ball to have easy length, but with great recovery. This is maybe the biggest flaring ball I've thrown. It is very strong down lane. I like that they used dark colors & a dark label, it's comfortable to the eye. This will fill that gap between the Solid & the pearl Stealth's and will be a nice compliment to the Theorem.

Layout: 75 x 4 5/8 x 70

I think it’s safe to say Prime Response Hybrid and HK22 were meant to be together. The Stealth Hybrid gives a great step down from the Theorem that gets a bit further down the lane and has no problem making the corner.

If your house pattern is overly cliffed you may want to hit this with a touch of surface to get it to blend but at the multiple high friction centers I bowl at this factory polish worked great out of box.

If you drilled a Theorem (and if you haven’t you should!) this ball just makes sense to have in your bag to compliment.
