I stand by what I saw.
However, I note the stronger pin and the tight VAL angle on the Solar Flare.
I also note the farther pin and lower pin position on the Heat Stroke.
The Solar Flare is played 7 to 8 boards deeper and the ball is closing to the hole with mucho attack angle. I realize there are other drilling options that will change the attack angle.
I would do similar using the Assym Solar for more attack angle and the Symmetric Heat Stroke for smoother. I would be uncertain how little oil the low RG Heat STroke could handle.

PS the Solar Flare looks like a great ball! Descendant of the Profit. I am not convinced that the Heat Stroke is for me, but it looks like a smooth one!
PPS I am also curious what the Solar Flare rolls like with the pin down closer to the ring finger. I will watch some Profit videos.
As far as the above goes, I'd agree. The SF is just a stronger ball overall. WIth an asymmetric core, you can make it do a great deal more than the Heat Stroke.
I am also unsure how strong the HS will actually be. BTM and BJI reviews have it handling more medium oil than dry. It's sort of half way in between; meanwhile the Solar Falre is not alight oil ball for any one but high speed, low rev bowlers. I'd take a chance on an Arson Low Flare (same type of ball as the Heat Stroke:Polished pearl, low RG, Low differential) due to its established POSITIVE reputation before I bought a Heat Stroke.
FYI Having stated liking low differential balls, you should take a look at the Motiv Venom Toxin and Venom Strike balls. They're lower RG, but somewhat weaker coverstocks.They're cover medium-light to medium to medium-heavy with control and hitting power. A friend here and friend off line, locally, both have found success with the strike, one dull and one with polish. Another friend, locally, has upped his average 20 points in the last year with the Toxin.
