Raising the Bar | Track Archetype Hybrid In Depth Review

As one of the largest retailers in the bowling industry, BowlersMart has extensive knowledge and expertise in all things related to the sport. Today, we’re excited to introduce you to the Track Archetype Hybrid – a game-changing ball.

What sets the Track Archetype Hybrid apart from other bowling balls in the market is its unique tech-infused design that offers unparalleled performance and precision. This ball’s innovative asymmetric I-Core 3.0 core and QR-11 Solid coverstock work in tandem to offer bowlers a controlled and powerful roll even in challenging lane conditions.

Our team has had multiple experiences with the Archetype Hybrid bowling ball, and we can confidently say that it is a valuable addition to any bowler’s arsenal, from beginners to seasoned professionals. So, whether you’re a casual bowler looking to improve your skills, or a pro looking for that competitive edge, we highly recommend the Archetype Hybrid.

Track Archetype Hybrid Bowling Ball

Archetype created quite a bit of buzz last season; it generated as much hook as the Track line has ever seen, and the ball stood out for its bold appearance.

The Archetype Hybrid with the QR-11 Hybrid coverstock and precision-engineered I-Core 3.0 Slim core delivers optimal traction and hook potential for a shiny ball. The core and cover combination enables the Track Archetype Hybrid to create motion on medium to heavier conditions while still performing throughout the transition. Any style of bowler will benefit from the unmatched technology and superior performance of the Track Archetype Hybrid.

The Brunswick Research and Development team has worked hard to develop the next breakthrough in cover technology. After pouring and throwing hundreds of bowling balls with dozens of new base reactive urethane formulations combined with a wide variety of chemical components and additives, our ball team has created something exceptional – the new HyperKinetic22 coverstock base material.

HK22, as we’ll often refer to it, features enhanced color and clarity by engineered nano micellular phase separation technology, dramatically improving the cover’s translucency. And through Quasi prepolymer staged reactions, intermolecular friction is reduced to manifest a dynamic interactive polymer morphology with the lane.

Bowling balls featuring HK22 look better on the shelf and perform better on the lanes with a shiny finish that provides easy length and increased dry lane friction for impressive backend reaction. HK22 is an exciting technological advancement, and we believe this is just the beginning as our chemists continue their work to push the limits of bowling ball performance.

DYNAMICORE
The Defender features Brunswick’s innovative outer core technology called DynamiCore. This industry-leading technology is a more durable outer material that yields less compression upon impact increasing hitting power and creating an undeniable difference in sound and pin carry.
