Introducing the Track Paragon Shadow: Dominate Heavy Oil with Confidence
The Track Paragon Shadow is the next evolution in the popular Paragon line, engineered to deliver the performance bowlers need when the lanes get tough. Combining iconic core design with cutting-edge coverstock advancements, this release is built to tackle the heaviest oil conditions with precision and power.
Legendary Core, Upgraded Cover
At its foundation, the Paragon Shadow brings back the I-Core 3.0, a fan-favorite for its stability and strong mid-lane read. But what truly elevates this ball is the pairing with the QR-12 Hybrid coverstock, now featuring the advanced HK22C base and Cohesion additive technology. This combination provides:
- Stronger traction in the mid-lane
- Increased continuation through the pins
- Reliable motion even under heavy oil volume
Built for Tough Conditions
Finished with a 1500 grit Siaair, the Paragon Shadow is specifically tuned to dig into slick lane surfaces. That makes it the perfect fit for:
- Lower rev-rate bowlers needing help creating shape
- Tournament players who want a ball that handles volume
- League bowlers facing fresh or challenging house patterns
What Bowlers Can Expect
- Early Read: The Cohesion additive enhances mid-lane traction without sacrificing backend motion.
- Strong Continuation: No flat spots—this ball drives through the deck.
- Versatile Power: Despite its strength, the hybrid cover gives the Shadow more flexibility than a full solid.
Final Thoughts
The Paragon Shadow isn’t just another ball in the Track lineup—it’s a refined, high-performance piece designed to shine when oil is in abundance. With its legendary core, enhanced HK22C cover, and powerful traction formula, it delivers the reliable motion every serious bowler wants when the lanes demand control and strength.
