Track Heat - Tell me about it
« on: September 23, 2005, 05:47:36 AM »
Please! Rick is punching one up for me.
I'm placing this one under my Slash.

I've heard many good things about this ball when it first came out earlier this year (April'ish).

How is yours set up (layout) and where does it fit in your bag?
What types of conditions can you use yours on?

Thanks!

Ramil,

For me the Heat is a natural fit under my Slash and Xception. I have alot of equipment, but generally it makes the playing field when I need length and backend. Its reaction off of the dry is a tad weaker than the Xception.
I can use mine on most conditions up to med/heavy. On a fresh house shot I usually have from 10 out with it because it will recover, and I have a slight tug area because it sits nicely in the oil.

I have mine drilled up with the pin below the bridge and the CG 2 inches below my midline in the thumb negative quadrant.

I love it...but you already know that...

Mine is used on those med to med-light conditions where length is a factor.  On those broken down conditions or bad heads or shorter/light patterns it's tough to beat.  I've used it as compliment to the Aggressive when it starts hooking a little early in the heads or mids but I still want the smoothness downlane.

I like to hit one of mine a little with a burgundy scothbrite to help it read and get it a little closer to the Aggressive (sanding pearls is great because they still push more than a solid).  It's 4 1/2 with the pin below the ring finger, low hole in the thumb-pos quadrant 3" deep.  The other which I keep highly polished has the pin 5 1/2" on my centerline below fingers with extra hole 2 1/4" below axis.

I have 4 of the remakes One is drilled zero degree with the pin under the middle finger, another pin above and right of the middle finger, cg in the palm, another pin under the bridge, cg by the thumb, and the other pin above and right of the ring finger, cg swung out with a hole threw it. All roll great. The greatest ROLLING ball track has ever made, both the original and the remakes. All react very well to layouts, as well as surface prep. Probably the most versatile ball in the line. With all of these, can cover any conditon besides a dead flood, or extream, extream dry.
