- Paradox TX2

First Impressions
The Track Paradox TX2 draws plenty of attention with its dark, powerful design. Inside works the revolutionary asymmetric i-Core 2.0 with a low RG of 2.480, a massive differential of 0.057 and an intermediate differential of 0.015. The cover is a modified QR-9 coverstock, sanded to a matte finish out of the box. Thanks to the very low RG and the high differential, the ball revs up extremely early and strongly. These specs should give the ball massive hold in the heads and aim for a continuous, assertive motion through the midlane.
Comparison
Compared to the Track Paradox Pearl, the TX2 version shows clearly less length due to its grittier surface and a far stronger overall reaction in oil. Against a symmetric ball like the Storm Phaze II, the Paradox TX2 offers a more aggressive and sharper backend hook thanks to its asymmetric design. Once the transition changes the lane and friction increases, the matte cover of the Paradox TX2 tends to give up energy too early. It demands a sufficient amount of oil on the boards.
On the Lanes
The Track Paradox TX2 is most at home on heavy oil lane conditions. It's an excellent option if you're looking for reliable, strong ball motion on fresh patterns. The asymmetric core generates a strong angle, which builds confidence when playing deep lines on a lot of oil. The ball should maximize carry by driving heavy and hard into the pocket. On burnt-up or dry lanes, however, it reacts too early and loses its dynamics at impact.
