the horizon solid is a great ball smooth and stong will roll threw carrydown to much oil and it gets a little squirty, but all around of all the current line that would be my opinion

Another vote for the Horizon Solid.  Coverstock takes adjustments really well.  I've thrown it OOB, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Abralon.  I have it at 2000 Abralon right now, pin in bridge, 4-1/2" from PAP.  Very nice benchmark ball.

I have to agree.  The Horizon Solid WAS the benchmark up until the Pluto comes out.  The Pluto looks to have the same characteristics of the Saturn but believe that it will handle a little more oil than the Saturn.  With the few Saturns that I saw go down the lane, it was a very underrated ball.  I thought that the roll rivaled the V2 Sanded though did not quite handle the same volume of oil that the V2 did.  Even without having seen a Pluto go down the lane.  I think that the Pluto is the next gem to hit the lanes for Roto Grip.
