The Heist is a GREAT ball... ill put it nice and simple

If the Radar and the Night Hawk got together and had a baby, the burgandy heist would be it...this ball is SOO readable just like the nighthawk, and gives you that power with control you got with the original radar...doesnt overreact, just gives you one big sweeping hook

Like others have said it may not be flashy, but that will be the only thing that holds this ball back...i have found my new benchmark!

All it is missing is the ceramic piece in the middle of the core.

Heist core = "NEW"??

OK...to me it looks a lot like the core in my Reaction Roll and some other Columbias I have seen from the past.  Primal Rage almost??

REgards,

Revmaster....EZ Money.  Ehhh....it's going to roll really early.  Hopefully it's not an instant cornerpin like the Revmaster.

it does want to roll real early...but the cover/surface seems to push this thing just enough to not burn early...real big arc...i actually haven't left alot of corners with it either, mostly 4's, 9's and the occasional "tru tap" 8

I know our style/roll are SOMEWHAT similar DJ, from looking at your stats before you have a touch more speed and a few more degrees of tilt, so stay tuned for my video and then you may be able to make a better judgement...

correct as stated before AMF has never went out of business.  900 Global is also producing AMF.


AMF isn't in the bowling ball business proper, they only make lanes, scoring, and pinsetters.  Before the buyout, AMF had licensed the rights to make bowling balls under the AMF name to Columbia 300, C300 (or a division of them) did the core and cover designs, manufacturing, and promotion of AMF bowling balls.  C300 did not "own" AMF, they only licensed the name and trademarks to make bowling balls.

I'd imagine that the new arrangement is the similar.
