sheer Havoc is same core a little more particle!  Pretty ball

REgards,

i'm assuming you're talking heat 2 solid. That ball is quite amazing to this day, and i haven't found anything to match it. The heat blast is the closest in terms of reaction shape and hook potential that i've thrown, even though the blue heat and sheer havoc share the core, the particle cover just gave me a really different look than my heat 2. I have 2 heat 2s still, and only use them for big $ tournaments so i dont wear them out or scar them up. I'm also on ebay every day on the look out. In fact, i'm wearing a heat 2 shirt today!

bartender i thought the same as u and i have a polished slash and its not so close...it goes longer and its more snappy than the heat 2
I would try maybe a sheer havoc

i agree. the slash flips much harder than the heat 2. I have 2 slashes and neither rolls anything like any of the 5 heat 2s i've had.

Edge2 is right.......Blast is closest, but the Mica and fleck they were using in their covers back then made just enough difference in reaction to set it apart from todays covers.
