Ball specs 15.03, 2.5 , 4.5-5 pin
For those who have one, what layout did you go with? I chose these ball specs with a double thumb layout in mind but I have a few days before the ball will arrive. Plenty of time to consider other options...

Compared to my Break pearl it made a much more aggressive turn in the backend in the form of a strong arc. It responded quicker to friction and continued powerfully through the pocket.
Too bad for me it was very condition specific and I didn't match up with the layout so I got rid of it. I find the Break solid and pearl to fit better for me.

The oil handling ability was comparable to my Pluto with a strong drill which is at least fresh mediums plus.
I'm looking forward to the solid version I really like the core and cover match up but didn't need the pearl version as I already have the Break.

Solaris has the exact same core as the Break Pearl, so maybe a similar reaction to that?
I'm pretty sure it has the same cover as the Break Pearl but a symmetric core.

The ball specs are 15 lb 4 oz, 4 inch pin with 2.4 oz of top weight. My original plan to was to use the same double thumb layout that I have on my Solaris Pearl but I've changed my mind. I'm going to use one of my favorite layouts 45 X 4.5 X 30.
More to come...

I have double thumb on my long pin 2nd Solaris...fantastic piece once I hit the cover with a worn 4000 pad. Ball was over/under until the slight cover mod...now, holy $#!% it's money on a medium THS.

Yep, the double thumb on the Solaris Pearl rolls great. That layout seems to work well for me, I have it on a Bite as well and it's also nuts!
I can't wait until league on Monday night to see what Requiem can do on some oil! I threw a couple games after I picked it up from the shop but that was only a tease...

It's not a double thumb layout unless the extra hole is roughly the same size as your thumb hole.

Really...
Go read AND COMPREHEND this and get back to us. Apparently I missed the section that relates the size of the balance hole to a thumb hole.

*yawn* Okay you got me... I always drew the logical conclusion that if it was a double thumb layout that the extra hole would be roughly the same size as the legit thumbhole...

It's cool man... It's stated in the pdf that the hole must be 1 1/8" or less.
