Horizon vs ssse
« on: April 12, 2006, 08:44:13 PM »
Which ball is stronger on the backend? I have narrowed my next purchase down to these two balls. I am looking for a strong angular move on the backend on med conditions.

SSSE has very strong, angular backend finish. Check Roto Grip website for additional information regarding these two balls, especially the videos of the SSSE.

I don't think the verdict is out yet on the Horizon......too new yet

However......see snowgimp's description on another Horizon thread by SenorRotoGrip...

quote:
After an initial night of play with my Horizon it seems to be 3-4 boards stronger than my Silver Streak SE in the back while clearing the heads just as well. Long and strong are two words that deffinetly fit this ball.

Got my next purchase narrowed to the same balls on
the original post, but also would like to get comparisons
to the RS-X.  Anyone rolled all 3 yet????

Clearly my reaction has something to do with the way the two balls are layed out (which can be seen in my profile) but after further testing last night my Horizon got a good 3 feet further down the lane before it made it's move as opposed to my SSSE and when it turned it was significantly stronger.  I was able to play fairly staight up with my SE anywhere from 6 to 10.  I tried to play that line with my Horizon and hit the four pin square in the face.  I ended up making a 15 and 4 move into around 14 to get to the hole but ripped too many nine pins to keep up with the ridiculous scoring pace at this house.  Once the lanes carried down however this ball was nuts.  Anywhere right and the ball wheeled back stronger than anything else being thrown on the pair.
