who cares what the sheet says. my original triton heat out performs my morich wmb and ebonite xcel. 10 weeks ago i switched to the heat pretty much exclusively and have been avg about 212. now have a 202 form a 194.hits hard, more pin action(when they dont turn to splinters, i throw pretty hard) and more controllable. was hoping to have a new one for a tournament this weekend, but doesnt look like it is going to happen.

C4life,

As mentioned in my other thread, I have only used it briefly, but I feel it is VERY true to its specs. Definately a step down from the Slash and Freakazoid as far as oil handling abilities. SO far what I have seen out of the ball that excites me the most is that I believe it will be successful in the hands of every style of bowler.

Hey Ex,

How does the Heat compare to the Crunchtime.  The specs are similar with the Heat having 7 versus 6 on the backend.  With the differential being lower for the Heat (.037 vs. .047), I would have thought the Crunchtime might have been a little stronger on the back.

I love my Crunchtime, but there are times it is a little hard to control the breakpoint.  The Heat's lower differential, might make the breakpoint a little easier to read.

Anyway, interested to hear your thoughts.

Mike,

Currently I do not have a CrunchTime, but I am working on that


Thinking to how the CrunchTime I used to have was, this ball would be a great compliment to it. The CrunchTime definately rolls sooner, reading the lane sooner. The HEAT would be perfect for when the CrunchTime is just too much ball.

I agree with Ex, the Heat would be perfect in that situation when the Crunchtime is just too much!

Had a chance to see tenpinspro throw this last night.

What a POS, hits like a popcorn fart...... Just kidding tough conditions and no way of really testing balls true abilities.

That pocket 5 pin leave was great

This is the first time I think I have ever out shot Rick in league.  I know he was testing equipment and we were on the same pair it feels great to beat the champ once in awhile.

So Rick, Why couldn't we kill that shot like my teammates?

At least I bowled average on that pair but that isn't saying much.

I'd really like to see that ball work on a decent shot.

I'll let Rick explain the particulars of the Heat.

The last thing Rick needs would be a light-oil ball...  Pocket 5 pin!??! LOL!  My two-finger 6lb plastic style carries better  Rick must really be throwing 5lbs then

EX,
As you may remember, We have had many discussions about what the hexplosion can handle. You say that it is more of a medium light type of ball for you. I'm curious as to how the heat stack up with the hexplosion. I find the Hexplosion to be just too strong sometimes and I am actually looking for something under it. Care to elaborate?

Freaky:  Preliminary testing for me shows the Heat to be more readable than the Hexplosion but not below it.  The read on the Heat is really good and the transitions off the friction is a treat to see.  One problem I had with the Hexplosion is that it had a tendency to overskid in oil and the overall pattern has to be light.  Initially that's not the case with the Heat. It's definatley not a heavy oil ball, but the read is so good that I've been using it as a compliment to my Agressive because both are so smooth.  The Heat is so much cleaner through fronts but still gives me a similar look.  

I used both this morning and will probably be using them the rest of the weekend.  I'll definately have more info next week.

LOL...you azz...LMAO.  You forgot to mention the 2 8-10's..LOL

The lanes were F.R.I.E.D....all I brought were my 2 arsenals and just punched the Heat after talking to Excaliber briefly on the phone.  This place has been in horrible condition all year, reversed with dry heads and no backends, a bowler's worst nightmare.  I'm the only deuce in the league at 202 (not after last nite), everybody's down.  Yesterday was even worse, no head oil and mids were reading extremely quick as well.  

I drilled my Heat for Nats, going next week.  I liked the reaction of my Arsenal Aggressive so much that I drilled the Heat the same way 1.5x1, pin 3.5 above mid.  This is a very nice hook/set layout for the shots that have jumpy backends.  I'll be practicing this week some so I'll be able to give some feedback as well.  Will let you guys know soon....

FREAKY,

For me the HEAT is a couple of feet longer, but it is stronger on the backend. So the Heat and Hexplosion for me would be playable on the medium/light-light conditions. I did get it to be well below the Hexplosion today though. I threw it a few shots during practice and decided I wanted Magic Shine on the cover rather than the box Clean n Sheen. This gave it even more length while it still had very good backend.

A couple more observations(as I get a few more games I will post a mini soon), it will not move if there is oil present. Tonight when the lanes carried down It did not have enough umph to make it back. I immediately made the switch to the Slash. Before the carrydown was present though it was awesome. It is still the reactive skid/flip kind of reaction though, and the drilling I applied is fairly strong for me. When the backends are dry it will open up the lane. NOT nearly as smooth of a breakpoint as the Hexplosion for me----but it is not as strong as the Dry Heat either.

In our area, when you leave a 5 pin one a flush pocket shot it's called a "Stone Nickel" and everyone on the pair tosses nickels at you.
