Heist vs Encry Code

Hi anyone can help me to understand better the differences between these two balls? Impression on the lane on Ths but special on a Sport Pattern.
Thanks in advance.

I have both the Heist and Nkryption Code.  My Heist is drilled 5 x 4, pin over ring, 1000 Abralon.  My Nkryption Code is drilled 5-1/4 x 4, pin over bridge, box finish.  I don't have a lot of games on the NCode, as I don't see enough oil in league to use it.  The NCode gets easy length and an aggressive move on the back.  The Heist gets good length and is much more rolly.

I don't know about the N-Code, but I have heard it has good length with a real strong continuouse backend. I would say it is stronger than the Heist by a little bit.

I have a Heist, and it is one heck of a bowlingball. The reaction is a big swooping arc that seems to arc all the way through the pin deck. I have tried the ball out at OOB and 4000 abralon, both arc very hard, with fantastic carry, especially on high shots. Good on medium light to med-heavy with great results.

You could probably handle more oil with the N-code, most being in the backend, but with a sanded Heist you would have more control.

I have bought quite a few balls lately and it has a special place with me already, that and the Up-rising

Nkryption will be more ball overall, with a slightly more angular backend motion. My Nkryption can handle most medium-heavy patterns OOB, on which my Hei$t will probably skid just a touch too long and not be able to generate the proper entry angle. Of course, that problem can be solved by just moving a bit right with my feet... but that should still give you a good idea about the two balls. Both are very versatile, but the Hei$t is smoother and won't "jump" as much when it reaches the end of the pattern.

In addition to revTrex's comments, may I add that there is still another ball in the AMF hierarchy between the Heist and the N-Code, the Code. As you go up in the line, each ball has a greater, designed-in backend and handles more oil. The N-Code's core also has a mass bias strength in the range where it makes a differebce. The Heist's core is strictly symmetrical.

Remember on house blended shots, you can often use a wide variety of balls from a variety of angles. On tougher shots, the differences between balls stands out more.

I have two Heists first pin over ring over the CG, sanded to 800 and then polished with snake oil.  The second is a simple label layout sanded to 800.

The difference between these two balls are night and day.

Heist #1 gets easy length down lane and makes a Break pearl like move but some feet sooner.  Heist #2 reacts closely to my Code with maybe a touch less midlane and a little stronger turn.  However the reaction shape is too close to utilize both here I opted for the N Code.

My N Code is drilled pin over ring with the MB right, close to the VAL.  I sanded the ball to 600 and polished it with snake oil.  (ball is a blem with a 5.5" pin)  

I probably will plug and redrill this completely but it gets easier length than my sanded Heist and Code but makes a definite stronger turn in the back end and retains great continuation.

So in my opinion you can start with the N Code and then step down to the Heist as the lanes break down.
