Solaris Pearl-New layout.
DRILL:70X4X30 500 abralon with Storms First step over the top of that.
NOTE:With the above layout the Solaris Pearl (SP) acted as my bench mark ball for most of the summer and all of this season so far. I had it plugged and redrilled to a different drill pattern last week. The review of Solaris Pearl is for the drill pattern mentioned and only that drill pattern.
SUPER BOWL: Older Anvaline surface well maintained, Regular THS Oil pattern I would say a hair over meduim volume. SP was killer on this pattern. Playing about 17 out to 8 Break point at 44 feet. Solaris Made a real hard arc to the pins No snap involved it was quick move but easy to read and adjust with. As more games were played I would bump in farther moving in to about 20-22 at the about 10 for the break still at about 44 feet. SP Still had a great recovery and great continuation through the pins even with my ball speed which can hinder recovery when I get that deep from time to time.
PBA Patterns: I have used SP on almost all of the PBA Patterns and this is what I have seen for its uses.
On Shark the SP made an apperance during the transition, some of the other bowlers on the pair were playing strighter with duller gear, I had started very deep with a much stronger ball. My look went away and I moved right and started bouncing off their Break point. Played 14 out to 8 putting good hand in it I had no issues getting it back to the pocket adjusted accordingly and had a look for the remaining games of the block.
On Viper again after the transition I used SP to get easier length while playing the same line that I did with a stronger ball when the pattern was fresh. about 22 at the arrows out to around 12 at 40 feet.
Chameleon Nothing works for me other than my urethane Sting/Ray
Scorpion, great look here going straighter 11 out 7 at around 42 feet strong smooth move off the spot. On the fresh with wooden lanes. Did not expect to see it work that well.
Cheetah SP is not the proper ball for me on the pattern.
HIT/CARRY: This ball is not a brawler like MO's gear or Storms. It almost has a finesse about its hits. Carry is probably the best you have never seen. If the SP hits 1-3 light, heavy or flush, the ball will carry. And it is very consistent about it, very few backrow leaves, even on bad shots SP will get the pins to lay down. The Trailblazer core is just amazing easily a equal to any other sym on the market today.
COMPARE: To Nsane LevRg same drill pattern. OOB Surface for the Nsane. Solaris is longer and more angular off the spot, Nsane will handle a touch more oil but is more condition specific. Solaris carrys much better. From what I have seen of a Virtual Energy I would say they are pretty evenly matched for as far as how much oil they can handle, I would say the VE is a touch later the SP a touch earlier. Carry wise SP takes it, I see guys with the VE struggling and the SP same type of ball is eating a pattern alive.
OVERALL: One of my favs and I hope it stays in the bag a long time.
