Horizon Pearl and Mystic
« on: February 27, 2007, 09:55:14 PM »
How much difference?  Pearl vs. pearl particle is the only difference I see.  Anybody have any perspective?

I would say a big difference in oil-handling ability.  Look back to the RS-1 and the RS-P, which the Horizons respectively replaced.  The Horizon pearl should get down the lane clean and then make a strong move on the back.  The Mystic should get going earlier -- and make a firm, but very controllable, move to the pocket.  Consider the pearl for lighter sides of medium and the particle-pearl for the heavier sides (dulled, possibly even heavier amounts).  Together, they might form a decent league arsenal for the bowler not wanting to carry around a ton of equipment.

The particle-pearl really makes a difference.  Some companies seem to come out with balls that do the same thing -- Roto does not.

Hope this helps.

Rev described the differences perfectly especially with both OOB.  I'll also confirmed that at 2000grit the Mystic can handle quite a bit of oil.  So far, it's been up around the SD-73 and Odyssey in oil handling capabilities.

The Mystic, Horizon Pearl and SD-73 have been quite a little 3 baller for me lately.  I seem to be able to cover quite a bit of conditions with these 3.
