CONCLUDING COMMENTS
 
Carry:
I tend to steer away from commenting upon ball carry as any ball, with the right drilling, and utilized on the appropriate condition, will strike at will, alternatively, any ball can flat ten etc. That being said, the Higgs Force is comprised of 2-piece construction (Veneer/Core), and with proper care, should be quite durable. 
 
During practice, most hits driving through the 1-3 pocket, be it light or high flush, kept the pins decently low. Factoring in my tilt and axis rotation, my equipment continuously drives past the 9-pin, hence during my practice session with the Higgs Force, I left 4 stone 9-pins.

 

Likes: Given the 1000 Abralon OOB surface, the Higgs Force had no difficulties with the THS shot encountered. BRC Via Linda is notorious for possessing a 10&in hang spot, hence if you do not grab enough friction down lane, e.g., 9 and out, most shots labor to climb the proverbial hill. The Higgs Force cut through the slosh, and continued to cut through forcing me deeper inside. 
 
 
Aversions: Thus far I am enjoying the ball shape/roll at 1000 Abralon, the problem is that I can envision utilizing this ball for 1 game, and then I will have to ball down to keep my entry angles narrower. Knowing this, I will likely adjust the surface to 2000 Sheen for a more all-around surface prep.
