A Strong Hybrid for Heavy Oil
About the Paragon Shadow
The Track Paragon Shadow is the heavy-oil workhorse of the Paragon line. It pairs the asymmetric I-Core 3.0 with the QR-12 Hybrid (HK22C) coverstock at a sanded finish, so it reads the midlane early and delivers strong overall hook with exceptional versatility. When the lane is heavy and fresh, this is the Paragon you reach for.
The Paragon Shadow shares the strong I-Core 3.0 with the Paragon Fire but wraps it in a more traction-oriented hybrid cover. The QR-12 Hybrid grabs the lane earlier than the Fire’s cleaner solid, so the Shadow reads sooner and hooks more overall, making it the earlier-reading, heavier-oil piece of the pair.
Understanding the Track I-Core 3.0 and Track QR-12 Hybrid (HK22C)
Track built the Paragon Shadow for strong, versatile traction on heavy oil. Specifically, the asymmetric I-Core 3.0 posts a 2.49 RG, a strong .056 differential, and a .015 intermediate differential for strong flare and a defined breakpoint, while the QR-12 Hybrid HK22C cover at a 1500-grit Siaair finish reads the midlane early and drives through the pins. As a result, it gives you strong overall hook on heavy oil. The per-weight specifications are listed below.
The Proven Asymmetric I-Core, Shared With the Paragon Fire
At the heart of the Paragon Shadow is the asymmetric I-Core 3.0, the same proven block used in the Paragon Fire. At 15 lb it measures a 2.49 RG, a strong .056 differential, and a .015 intermediate differential, a combination that produces strong track flare and a defined, asymmetric breakpoint. The strong differential gives it the flare to clear heavy oil.
Track wraps the I-Core 3.0 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 early and how strong the Paragon Shadow reads.
A Traction-First HK22C Hybrid for Heavy Oil
The Paragon Shadow wraps that core in Track’s QR-12 Hybrid (HK22C) coverstock at a 1500-grit Siaair finish. The QR-12 hybrid blends solid and pearl material, but at this sanded finish it reads the midlane early and grabs heavy oil, so the ball gets into a strong roll and drives through the pins rather than skidding too far down the lane.
That early, traction-first read is what makes the Paragon Shadow the heavy-oil piece of the Paragon line. It offers exceptional versatility: leave it at the 1500 Siaair box finish for maximum traction on fresh oil, or polish it up at your pro shop for more length as the lanes transition.

Good to Know Before You Buy
·Strong, aggressive motion: This is a high-flare piece built for traction. If you want a controlled, lower-hook reaction, a lower-differential ball will suit you better.
·Ships sanded for traction: The 1500 Grit finish is built to grip in oil. Polish it for more length when the volume drops.
·Asymmetric layout sensitivity: Layout choices shift the reaction more than on a symmetric ball. Match the pin and mass bias to your game with your pro shop.
·Colors vary: Actual colors vary somewhat from the photos shown; no two balls come out of the mold exactly alike.
·Tiny pit holes are normal: A few tiny pit holes in the coverstock are a normal part of the manufacturing process.
·Sold undrilled: Ships without finger holes, so it can be fitted to your hand and span.
BowlersMart Tips: Where the Paragon Shadow Fits in Your Track Arsenal
Where It Fits in Your Arsenal
In the Track lineup, the Paragon Shadow is the strong, early-reading hybrid of the Paragon line. It reads sooner and hooks more overall than the cleaner, more angular Paragon Fire, so it is the piece for heavy, fresh oil. Throw the Shadow first when the lane has the most volume, then step to the Fire for length and angle as the oil moves.
Surface Adjustments
The 1500 Siaair Micro Pad finish gives the Paragon Shadow its early read and heavy-oil traction. Keep it sanded for maximum grip, or polish it up at your pro shop for more length when the volume drops. Have surface changes done by a professional for an even, consistent finish.
Coverstock Care
Wipe the QR-12 Hybrid cover with an approved reactive ball cleaner after every session, and deep clean it periodically. A sanded hybrid like the Paragon Shadow relies on a fresh, clean surface to keep digging into oil.
