Track Criterion Inverse Bowling Ball

A Controlled Asymmetric Pearl for Medium Oil

About the Criterion Inverse

The Track Criterion Inverse is a controlled, versatile asymmetric pearl. It pairs the asymmetric Criterion I.D. Core with the Super Response Pearl (HK22C) coverstock at a polished finish, delivering a cleaner, more controlled motion that blends wet and dry patterns better than a traditional asymmetric. It is a smart choice for medium oil where both strength and control matter.

The Criterion Inverse takes an asymmetric core and gives it a forgiving, controlled personality. The Criterion I.D. core provides a defined breakpoint and flare, while the polished HK22C pearl gets the ball down the lane cleanly and reads the friction smoothly rather than jerking. The result is an asymmetric you can trust to blend the lane and finish predictably.

Understanding the Track Criterion I.D. Core and Track Super Response Pearl (HK22C)

Track built the Criterion Inverse for a controlled, blended asymmetric motion on medium oil. Specifically, the asymmetric Criterion I.D. Core posts a 2.50 RG, a .047 differential, and a .016 intermediate differential for a defined breakpoint, while the Super Response Pearl HK22C cover at a polished finish reads the friction cleanly and smoothly. As a result, it gives you a controlled, predictable asymmetric shape that blends wet and dry. The per-weight specifications are listed below.

An Asymmetric Core Tuned for Control

At the heart of the Criterion Inverse is the asymmetric Criterion I.D. Core. At 15 lb it measures a 2.50 RG, a .047 differential, and a .016 intermediate differential, a combination that produces a defined, asymmetric breakpoint with controllable flare. The numbers give it shape without an overly sharp or hard-to-read reaction.

Track wraps the Criterion I.D. core in DynamiCore, Brunswick’s industry-leading outer-core technology, for added durability and a stronger hitting ball. Because the core is asymmetric, your pro shop can tune the layout to control how clean and how controlled the Criterion Inverse plays.

A Polished HK22C Pearl That Blends Wet and Dry

The Criterion Inverse wraps that core in Track’s Super Response Pearl (HK22C) coverstock at a polished factory-compound finish. The pearl additive and polished surface let the ball get down the lane cleanly and read the friction smoothly, so it blends wet and dry patterns better than a traditional, harder-snapping asymmetric.

That cleaner, more controlled motion is the Criterion Inverse’s signature: it gives you asymmetric shape and flare without an unpredictable backend, which is exactly what you want on a transitioning medium-oil pattern. Leave it polished for a controlled, blended read, or take the surface down at your pro shop for an earlier, stronger reaction on more oil.
