Title: Actual Hei$t Pic
Post by: revTrex on July 10, 2007, 01:13:02 AM

Be very afraid, guys...it's a second! In any case, the colors are about the same, just with a little phasing, and a nice little splotch on one side. Not the fanciest looking ball ever, by any means, but it does have a pleasing quality about it. In a way, the Hei$t is the bowling ball version of the girl next door...

Enjoy! Video soon, once I drill it up later this week.

Most likely a 5x4.5, pin over. Any suggestions, though, Bar? I know I don't want to drill it too strong -- I did that with a Track Arsenal Artillery (same/almost identical core), and it used WAY too much energy in the front part of the lane).

Rev,

I have been having success with my 4 x 4 layout, and if my hard drive on my computer wouldn’t have taken a crap on me, you would be able to view a video of the ball…BUT thanks to HP that isin’t going to happen right away lol

Anyway, I know you have an ogre pearl as well, and I have the heist and the OP layed out pretty much the same and they complement each other very well…think of it as an earlier, more even OP…I think a 5 to 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 would be fine for you, what you will see is the core wanting to rev this thing up hard and early, but the cover/surface (polish) will allow the ball to push and save its energy…the team at AMF/global really matched up this core well…I really want to knock the polish off of it and see what it can handle but I am refraining to do so until I get to re-shoot the video.

Hopefully my Ramblings make sense...

That's pretty much what I thought. The pin isn't too short (3-3.5 inches), too, so I might fool around with something closer to my VAL, so that it keeps its original rotation off my hand longer...still, I was thinking the pin-PAP distance would remain something like we just talked about...

Thanks for the advice! Can't wait till my day off from work!
