Solaris Requiem First night first thoughts *Update*
« on: January 28, 2010, 02:49:48 PM »
Drilled 70x4x40 OOB Surface.

T&O Lanes: Usually this house is known for the screaming backends but when you bowl against 5 guys that are all Wussy Puss knucklers carry down becomes a issue. Tonight was one of those nights. Started with my Solaris Pearl drilled Rico had a good look then it sailed BAD. Dusty Confirmed my thoughts carry down was in the house. Enter SR (Solaris Requiem) went about 17 out 10 had to keep it inside due to the extreme friction outside of 7. SR never quit, picked up a roll around 38 feet made quick change of direction and kept hooking until it got back to the return rack! As the night went I actually bumped right and broke my wrist and was pleased to see that I could still get it down lane with just a touch extra speed.

STATE TEAM EVENT: This was a flood, old wood lanes with just oil everywhere. Grabbed the SR after my Evil Siege and Ultra Tactics couldnt cut it. Played deep in my comfort zone going 20 at the arrows feeding out to about 14 around 40 feet from the pins the ball would rev up and just make a angular move into the pins everything was carrying and I wished I would have started with it. As the night progressed I was bumping left with my feet eventually playing looser line roughly 25 at the arrows out to about 12 once they opened up. this worked great until it started hooking to early and I was to stubborn to change balls LOL.

HIT/CARRY/ROLL: Balls hit the pins look a runaway semi going down a steep grade. No quit it was like the pins were not even their. I was very impressed.  Roll was something special really special. When this thing reads it makes a quick smooth change of direction and rolls and drives HARD! This thing came off the back of the deck Left of the 8 pin a few times! It is incredible.

OVERALL: Great ball here SR has a very unique reaction. Handles oil like a regular oil ball such as a Dimension or Mutant Cell. But is Angular like a Widow Nasty. Ball is easy to read hand crushes everything in its path nothing. So good I may have to get another one!

Thanks for the kind words Mainz.

We are aware not everyone plays fresh all the time, and that the more enthusiastic bowler will appreciate a ball that handles those tricky situations better than most other balls. The Req is a good carrydown ball.
