Horizon
« on: August 16, 2008, 08:42:42 AM »
I just got a Horizon and I absolutely love it.  Never thrown Roto and I think it's a great matchup for me; great length, wonderful flip.  Is there anything newer but still similar to the look of the Horizon?  Also, how old is it actually?  Not that there's anything wrong with people getting amped up about the newest things, but as I'm finding out, there's great stuff out there from previous years; great carry and everything.


(I suppose things have to be new before they get old though don't they?)

Which Horizon, the solid or the pearl?
Both are roughly 2+ years old, the pearl wass introduced frist. The pearl was replaced by the Illusion and the solid by the Grand Illusion (although it's polished).

If you have the original Horizon, the Illusion is the closest to it even though the cover is a different formula. Both the Illusion and the Horizon are great balls... I have both and use both.
