Anyone see any major differences.  Close rg and diff and both solid reactives.

lighter oil, breaking down track, heads, backends,....even a medium EXTREME wet/dry....the Sonic is bang for the buck THE choice

If you want a closer comparison using just RG & diff stats, compare the Dry Heat to the V2 Dry.

I just read Track's own blurb about the Dry Heat and the rationale behind its design. They say they used a low RG core to handle the newer lane's oils. It is also a solid, not a pearl. If they used Columbia's Flexcel solid, it will handle the new oils, but I wonder if it can handle dry lanes. I think that this makes the Dry Heat NOT a ball for dry lanes, unless you have higher speed or you sand it very fine (1200,1500 grit) and then re-polish it a lot or you are not really bowling on dry lanes.

Until I see someone use it well with medium speed, medium revs, on true dry lanes, I have to assume it is not a true dry lanes ball, based on the specs alone.
