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.

http://home.comcast.net/~anthonychapman/desert_heat.avi 3.3M
http://home.comcast.net/~anthonychapman/desert_heat1.avi 3.2M

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 ;-)

http://home.comcast.net/~anthonychapman/blue_heat.avi  6.8M

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!

Edited to add Heat and X5.0 vids.

hector:  I can't wait....2 more weeks till fun and sun!  The Desert Heat will be with me as well as another Heat and X5.0. Still trying to work out the other balls since I'm only bringing 5.  Hopefully you guys haven't burned them up by the time we bowl

bighook69:  sorry, these were just the vids that I took last night that I wasn't able to post.  As soon as I can get  hold of a better camera, I'll post an Aggressive video for comparison.

AUS:  I'm not a big fan of flare, especially in the early parts of the lane.  Just too early and harder to control for the types of conditions I see.  So that layout  gives me good length with flare in the middle to end.  It's hard to tell in the Blue Heat video, but the tape on the axis is very stable the first 15-20ft before really migrating.

Nice vids!  The Desert Heat looks pretty tame (even if it has a higher flare drill) compared to the Heat!  That X 5.0 is a pretty ball...gotta love those messengers, heheh .

I really liked the camera angle of your GP2 videos from a while back, do you think it would be possible to take some vids from the same angle as the following vid?

Thanks for the awesome vids!

Hehe, man you guys are too much.

Hey I just saved Anthony's videos and slo-mo'd them with Quick Time.

Here are my findings from what I saw in the videos! Disclaimer: These numbers are approximate as I didn't use a magnifying glass, I just eyeballed the videos on Pause and Slo-Mo hehe. Those pathfinder marks on the lane (10 and 15 board on the right side sure make it easier to read!)

Heat
At The Arrows = 19 Board
Breakpoint = 10 Board
9 Boards Crossed!

Desert Heat
At The Arrows = 17 Board
Breakpoint = 6 Board
11 Boards Crossed!

Blue Heat
At The Arrows = 20 Board
Breakpoint = 6 Board
14 Boards Crossed!

Xception 5.0
At The Arrows = 22 Board
Breakpoint = 5 Board
17 Boards Crossed!

Wow, these videos were helpful Anthony. The heat definately showed us that you can play the ball straighter but still cover some boards. The Desert Heat looks a tad stronger and can be bellied just a tad more than the Heat. The Blue Heat seems to be the Separation maker as it crosses 5 more boards than the Heat and 3 more than the Desert Heat. Man, the Blue Heat looks pretty fresh and looks to be a nice possible Benchmark. Now the Xception 5.0 is just plain sick. You had the world with this ball crossing approximately 17 boards.

Man, those Pin under Bridge/Ring layouts really smooth out the backend. I'm starting to become a fan of it!

Thanks again for the vids and I hope my Video Findings help everyone out as well...

You do want to see the balls right? This is ballreviews, not Sea World

ice:
Hopefully once I get hold of the camera that I used for that vid I will post some at better angles and clearer.

Ramtart:
That's excellent analysis and really helpful!  The Desert Heat seems like it's stronger than the Heat because I HAD to belly it.  It really needed the friction to turn the corner.  If you look down in the lower left hand corner of the Heat video, you can see that I'm about 4 boards left than the Desert and had to keep it tighter (this Heat really turns the corner when it hits friction).

Guys, I really hope you like the videos and hopefully it helps you see what the balls are capable of and how they react nicely as an arsenal.
