I bowl on tacky wood and synthetic approaches with humidity and was only sticking in the same place as the pads would cover... almost wore out a metal brush to make the solid heels work so-so. Feels to me the heels are a little higher than in my Dexter SST 5s but I don't have them anymore to compare (if you could, put them side-by-side to really know for sure). I tried the adjust-a-heels and they are awesome... instant results. Your joints will thank you no matter the price.
