Horizon Solid
« on: October 25, 2006, 08:58:20 PM »
Just got mine delivered and was checking it out. The cover stock almost looks like a sanded pearl, anyone else notice this? If you have not wipe it with a wet paper towel it stands out even more. I realize looks can be deceiving, mine really looks like a hybrid cover interesting.

Roto Mab:

I have one like this also, but I will say I don't see any apprecable change in performance between the other two I have.  Although I guess you could assume it will go longer and get over a little harder because of the pearl look, I'm not seeing that in ball reaction to date.  My recommendation, drill it like you have planned and have fun with it.

After drilling 12 of these, i have say this ball is down right booty-licious! i don't have a hot girl making videos to promote the balls like Nick smith but lol it's a good looker. and she strikes from all angles.

I have one, I'm gonna slap my favorite assymetrical layout on it and hopefully be able to finally get something to recover from inside 3rd arrow.

Cool story - I drilled one of these for a retired guy that wanted an upgrade from some 10 year old Zone that I can't remember the name of.  Touched the surface with light polish because of his soft speed and thought I went too far.  2nd game out shot the number and it was his first 300 since 1972!!  Initially I was sad because I thought he did it in an un-certified sr. league, but then found out it was in a local morning league that is certified.  I had 3 guys call me within two days to ask me if that ball would be good for them.
