Title: Horizon solid is so sweet :)
Post by: RyanRPS on November 20, 2006, 07:00:18 PM
No real reason for posting this apart from that I love the ball so much

Was giving a ball a whirl last night that we are selling and started league with a 188, and then next game with 97 in the 5th, just sort of getting by, playing straight up around 7 board, when I changed to the Horizon Solid, and bagged out the game for 247.  Started the next game with 6 of the front 7 and finished it off for a 235 and 670 series.

I love my horizon solid

Second best mid line ball ever made behind the vapor zone, the horizon solid is money it will hook on anything oily or dryer. The solid is all about midlane and backend it almost does not read the first 30 feet of lane for me. I think my low game is 186 with it, every other game is over 200 with it out of about 25 or so games total.

I have one sentence that can sum up this ball.

It's like the Vortex II, but better.  

...nuff said.

The Ball is drilled 4” Strong, and being used on a medium oil shot; 4:1 ratio with about 32 units in the centre of the lane.  I was setting the ball down about 25 and targeting 15 at the arrows and breaking around 7 at 38ish foot.

The ball is the perfect compromise between power and control – it makes you feel perfectly comfortable.

The Horizons (both), are two great balls that I've come to love.  I've had the Horizon pearl since May.  It's been a mainstay and workhorse on all kinds of conditions.  It's actually the ball that's been in my bag the longest.  Plenty of balls have come and gone.  The Horizon Solid is a great compliment.  The midlane to backend read is one of the best I've had.  I seem to be able to play anywhere with them.

Sometimes, old balls get pushed aside because of new kids on the block.  This past weekend, the Horizons outperformed my Widow and No Mercy.  Better reads during transition and the pearl out carried them all.  It's ashame I didn't switch to the Horizon Pearl earlier.  Who knows what I could have shot in all-events.
