Just curious if anyone uses their Hero in a high friction environment?  Bowl in a dry house league where see balls like Strike Kings and Slingshots.  Curious if might be able to polish crap out of it and use it as there as I hear the ball is amazing.  Maybe at least as a game 1 first out of bag ball. Thanks.

If there's really a bunch of Strike Kings and Slingshots, the Rhinos, Twists, and Counter Attacks would be the better options in the current lineup.

If you wanted something with a little higher diff, you could probably find a Cutting Edge Solid or Pearl for cheap. I think both are a little weaker than the Hero

Thanks kind of what I was afraid of.  Oh well luckily plenty of other houses in area I can use it.  Must have ball for under $120.

As previously mentioned,  the Hero is quite early to be used in those types of situations.  Rhinos or Counter Attacks would be much better I think.

Personally I'm getting a Hydra or hustle ink as a ball down from my Hero
If Brunswick puts dynamicore in a light oil ball with a dialed back core... I'm in immediately

Even Hustle Ink is probably pushing it as dry as this place gets.  Don't really care about dynamicore but DOT in a very mild ball I could go for.

What year is this? “Polish the crap out of it”? Why? That’ll make it either not do anything or go sideways.

I have a REALLY dry house & on that one my top ball is the Brunswick Twist & I ball DOWN to a Motiv Rebel tank Pearl\Urethane or BTU Pearl. SOMETIMES theres enough oil that a Hustle Ink OOB can roll there but in no way can the Hero.

The Ink with a 2000/4000 is close to my Hero, they are both stronger. I've been polishing the crap out of the Ink to try to differentiate them again but honestly like you... I think we need a different ball to ball down. I feel like the 73 that they put on the website for its hook number is a bit off. It hooks more than the Melee Jab SE they put at 80 & as much as the Uppercut from the videos I was watching last night.

Again. I think I need a ball down from the Hero & have to accept it is what it is, a fairly strong benchmark, not a late in the block low oil skid flip piece

Motiv covers this better with the Hydra or supra
