COMMENTS

The Prism Solid is a very and I mean very STRONG rolling ball.  The Solid reminds me on a Pitbull with about 4 feet sooner Midland roll and more angular backend motion. The surface on this ball and the core makes this ball carve up heavy oil patterns and flat sport patterns.  If you are looking for a ball for sport patterns, the Prism Solid is definitely the way to go

Your knowledge is amazing. I like to read the comments of everyone.

My Prism Solid is drilled 40x4x45 with the "DOT" just grazing the top right corner of my ring finger with the intention of having something to use on fresh slick lanes as the Kingpin Rule just wasn't for me and my Conspiracy Solid has been logging a lot of games. 

I bowl in what I consider to be a pretty slick house where my Conspiracy Solid (my measuring stick for heavy oil balls) gets a fair bit of play and the Prism Solid was too much ball by the middle of game 2.  The Prism Solid is quick to traction and gets into a roll sooner than anything in my bag yet still has some shape left for the back end.  In order to see if I could use it for an entire league set I added a little polish to it.  I got the length that I wanted but it really negated the strength of this ball - its traction.

It is the earliest and one of the heaviest rolling pieces I have drilled since probably the Endless Nightmare.  Its hard to believe, but the Conspiracy Solid is actually a logical step down (more length, turns over a little more).  The Prism Solid seems to rev up a bit easier than the Kingpin Rule and rounds the corner more evenly making it my preferred choice for the slickest of oils.  I could probably get more use out of the Prism Solid by having drilled it with a slightly longer + taller pin and have suggested such layouts to my customers so that they can open their angles on heavy oil.  However, for the Prism Solid serves its purpose in my bag by tractioning on fresh heavy oil + burning a huge hole in the track for me to use as bump. 

The most interesting comparison for this ball is to the Prism Hybrid with the identical layout.  Honestly, it was hard for me to believe how the same weight block shelled with such a different cover could lead to such a vastly different ball motion.  The Prism Hybrid is very clean (almost pearl clean) and very responsive to the friction.  I have had to remove the polish on the Hybrid with a 3k to calm it down and it fits just under my Conspiracy Solid as my go to for all purpose ball motion on medium/heavy oil.  As somebody speed/rev matched, I know that I will be using the hybrid on more patterns, while the Solid is here to create traction when I bowl on 30mls+ patterns.

I recommend the Prism Solid to anybody needing some serious help to get their ball to pick up.  This ball will be loved by the 20mph flame throwers but will also be in play for us mere mortals when facing high volumes of oil.  If you are a looking for a new ball to use in league play for above average oil then check out the hybrid and kill that rough buff with a 3k pad.

Heavy oil?  No problem for the Prism Solid.  This ball blew me away on so many levels.  First of all it has such a strong cover, I thought it would burn up right away, but it gets through the front part of the lanes really well.  Its responsiveness off the friction demonstrates its ability to hold its power, and releases a strong move through the pin deck.  This may be one of the strongest bowling balls I’ve used.  I haven’t been able to use it much, as I haven’t bowled on many conditions where the oil volume has been on the heavy side.  I’ve had success using it early in league, or on longer sport patterns.  This is an impressive ball for heavy oil conditions.  If you’re a bowler looking for a little help when the lanes are oily, this ball is for you.  Or if you’re like me with a moderate rev rate and ball speed, it allows you to get in where the high rev players are playing and create great ball motion to attack the lanes.
