Product Description
The Dexter H1X Hard Brake Heel is built for bowlers who want their slide to end decisively. Using Dexter’s most aggressive braking compounds and saw‑tooth/Ultra Brakz design cues, this heel delivers maximum grip and the least amount of slide in the Dexter heel lineup, helping you plant firmly and finish shots with confidence on slick or medium‑slick approaches.
Compatible with SST‑series and THE-series Dexter performance models, the trim‑to‑fit H1X attaches via Velcro‑style backing so you can quickly swap it in when you need more brake than your standard heel provides. Its multi‑zone rubber pattern transitions from firm to tacky compounds as you roll through the heel, turning a long glide into a controlled, powerful stop without feeling abrupt or choppy.
Features:
• Most Brake
• One Heel Per Package
Dexter H1X Hard Brake Heel FAQ
Q: How much brake does the H1X Hard Brake Heel provide?
A: H1X is designed for maximum brake, offering the least amount of slide in Dexter’s heel range so you can stop quickly and firmly at the foul line.
Q: Which shoes is the H1X compatible with?
A: Dexter H1‑series heels are compatible with SST and THE 9 series performance models.
Q: How does the saw‑tooth or ripple design help braking?
A: The saw‑tooth and 45‑degree ripple patterns bite into the approach surface, with multiple rubber zones that smoothly transition from slide to brake, preventing your heel from grabbing all at once.
Q: Is the H1X heel trim‑to‑fit?
A: Yes. H1‑series heels are sold as trim‑to‑fit pieces, sized for men’s and women’s ranges, so you can cut the heel to match your shoe’s heel plate precisely. Three Sizes are available Small (Women's 5-11) Medium (Men's 6.5-9) Large (Men's 9.5-15).
Q: When should I use a hard‑brake heel like H1X?
A: Choose H1X on slick or extra‑slippery approaches or when you’re using higher‑slide soles (S10–S13) and need a stronger brake to avoid drifting through the line.
Q: How often should I replace an H1‑class heel?
A: Dexter recommends replacing H1 heels regularly, since soft and aggressive braking compounds can wear faster and lose stopping power over time.
