Mini Review: Heat Blast
« on: March 01, 2006, 02:55:12 PM »
I just realized I never posted an actual mini review of this ball.

Ball: 4x4 layout pin next to my ring finger....identical layout to my Blue Heat.

I have used the Blast on many different shots. I have not found it UNPLAYABLE on anything yet.

Line: I have played all over the lane with this ball already, and it is awesome from any area I want to play it at. I have to say that the straighter you can play this ball the most you are taking advantage of what it will offer up.

Reaction:
The Heat Blast reads the midlanes very well and is strong on the backend. It is not as strong as a ball like the Artillery in the backend....when the Artillery stats moving too much in the backend the Blast is the perfect ball to switch to. The Blast is a strong arcing ball.

Impact:
It is very strong at the pin deck. It drives through the pocket keeping the pins very low.

Readability:
It is the benchmark ball in Track's line right now. It reads the lanes nicely throughout the pattern. Similiar to how my Slash was, just a bit stronger overall. The factory finish on the Blast keeps it in play longer because it does not roll up too soon. Perfect for reading a pattern.

Overall Comments:
The Heat Blast is the little brother of the Blue Heat. If you liked the Blue Heat but need something not quite as aggressive the Blast is the ball to get. Extremely readable....consistant....and reliable. The Blast is a ball that every bowler should have a use for, SOME may have to adjust the cover depending on their style. It is a very nice addition to the lineup......you will not be disappointed.

This ball defintitely is the benchmark ball.  CLeans the fronts pretty well with a long strong arc from the breakpoint. I have mine drilled 5 1/4 x 3 1/2, with the pin up 3 1/2 above the midline(over ring). I have also used it on a wide variety of conditions, and have had success on all. Works extremely well at an old burnt up wood lane house here in town.
Quick rush to the pro shop the "Heat" is still on!!!
