Blue Heat, Desert Heat, Heat, X5.0 Vids
« on: June 14, 2005, 01:55:25 AM »
Hear are 3 quick vids I shot last night.  I apologize for the quality, my camera is not as good as my mothers.  I had X5.0 and Heat videos too but my connection timed out last night uploading them so I'll do those tonight.  Hopefully next week I'll get hold of my mother's camera and post better videos.  These at least give you a good idea of the reaction.

Here's the layouts:

Desert Heat:  The hit is awesome and I was about 3-4 right than the Heat with the pin on the center line and look how strongly the Desert is drilled.  It's really smooth and so clean.  It allows me to stay right and take advantage of the track area and carry.

Blue Heat:  I was about 9 left and 4 at the arrows than the Desert and about 4 left and 2 than the Heat.  There's a piece of tape to show the flare.  The pin's 5 1/2" from the pap.  I had an identically drilled Agressive that I could get about 2 more further left and a little further right at the break.  Sorry about the size, my mother fell alseep at the camera ;-)

Heat: This is the weaker of the two Heats, drilled like the Blue and the Agressive.

X5.0: I had to get the deepest and had the most room right with this ball.    I seem to have unlimited right!

How were the lanes oiled?? The Desert has a real nice smooth look to it. I wanna pick one up to replace my Barrage. I just hope the Desert is as weak as the Barrage.

The Blue is very smooth as well but obviously needs more oil to work. It reacts real similar to my Mutant Mania, maybe just a tad longer.

Very nice vids, cant wait til they hit shops!!

Rock, the Blue and Aggressive definitely needed more oil (these were taped at 9:30 at night).  But that's the great thing about Track's particle, you can still continue to play with them and chase the oil in and they still hit.  If I'm not mistaken, the Mutan Mania had the Sheer Havoc cover so that's a good call about reaction as the Blue has a similar look to a sanded Sheer.

I don't know the specifics, but this house is very tapered side to side and front to back.  It allows lots of angles and surfaces to be used (I've used everything from a GP2 to a Desert Heat).  As the night goes on, the track becomes more dominant and carrydown becomes an issue with carry.

I want to get to another few houses with hopefully more oil.  But it's summer time and you would think oil is a precious commodity around here.

achappy, you are correct. The Mutant Mania has the Sheer Havoc cover around a Mutant core. Nice smooth midlane with some pop on the backend.

After seeing the vids and knowing how they react, I definately have to get a Desert Heat.

achappy, the Heat seems pretty snappy on the backend, eh?!?

I thought it was a bit more tame like the desert just reacted earlier, I guess I was wrong.

The 5.0 is sick!! That ball has some angle and carry. That messenger took out the 10 in a hurry!!

Love the vids, now I have to go buys some new balls!!

Rock77,

That Heat is a little strong downlane.  That's because of the long pin to PAP distance (5 1/2) and the lower flare.  It's very clean and then really starts to flare the last 15-20 feet so it's good for late blocks and playing deep.  That's why I drilled up the other Heat, stronger pin (4 1/2) with huge hole on VAL.   That's about 3-4 stronger but much earlier read and smoother.   So now all 3 Heats really compliment each other.

The X5.0 should've been called the Beast 5.0 . That's how strong that ball is but it reads much better than the Xception.
