“This thing is so fun to throw!  I feel like it lets me do whatever I want to do on fresh”, stated EJ Tackett about the new Trident™ Horizon.   Utilizing a hybrid edition of Coercion™ MXC cover technology, the Trident™ Horizon exudes strength, power, and incredible versatility. 

A solid version of Coercion™ MXC powers the impressive Forge™ Flare.  “It is so strong, that some high rev rate players are forced to use fiercely steep angles and sometimes throw it over the front of the lane to use it even on fresh”, said PBA® Tour Rep Brett Spangler.  “It just makes sense to merge this phenomenal shell with a higher RG core and less aggressive finish.”  And that is precisely the design focus behind the Trident Horizon.

Utilizing new Coercion™ MXC Hybrid Reactive cover technology, the Trident™ Horizon digs in the oil yet still manages to continue down lane to a degree that confounds many bowlers.  Tuned with a 4000 Grit LSS finish, it showcases more clearly the down lane motion potential of the Coercion™ MXC technology. 

To maximize continuation, the Trident™ Horizon utilizes the versatile asymmetric Sidewinder™ core.  Featuring a higher RG and lower intermediate differential, it clears the front of the lane much easier than the more powerful solid balls for heavier oil volumes and retains energy to provide ferocious continuation.

    I have thrown Track equipment for 20 plus years, until I took several years off. I was recommended the Trident Horizon, so I took the leap. To say the least I have enjoyed this ball and I am looking forward to throwing the new VIP and the Venom Shock.

    I would recommend this to a friend

    Strengths
    In terms of angularity Trident Horizon has more than its angular predecessors Trident Nemesis and Trident Quest despite them both possessing glassier OOB finishes, however in terms of coverstock MXC Coercion Hybrid is more responsive to friction at the end of the pattern.
    .
    MXC Coercion Hybrid is what makes Trident Horizon clean up front, cleaner that both Jackal Legacy and Forge Flare which possess MXC Coercion. It can be compared to Fatal Venom from a read standpoint, however it reads earlier to that of Fatal Venom.


    MXC Coercion Hybrid will offer you a combination of midlane traction and plenty of continuation at the back end, very useful in the event you decide to cover a bit of lane.


    Weaknesses
    MXC Coercion Hybrid is still MXC Coercion Hybrid meaning when Trident Horizon encounters too much friction you may want to ball down, however there is always the option of glassing it or simply moving your feet in the opposite direction of the hand you throw with.


    Overall Summary

    MXC Coercion Hybrid is what society has been waiting for in terms of clearing the heads without the natural grab that MXC Coercion possesses, even in Hybrid form Trident Horizon has a lot of muscle and traction in the oil. Although MXC Coercion Hybrid is in the came family as Jackal Legacy and Forge Flare, is substantially cleaner and quicker than both Legacy and Flare. I have confidence in having Legacy and Flare paired with Horizon for a terrific trio for fresher oil conditions, in terms of surface I prefer mine at box although I did put a bit of hi-gloss on it to see what my reaction would be and it evened out the asymmetrical reaction.
    I encourage you to not look over this Horizon instead try this Trident Horizon.
    Your game will Thank you.

    Love my new Trident Horizon

    I love my new Trident Horizon. I’m a down and in bowler but decided to drill this one pin down and play it out a little. We drilled it 30 minutes before league and I shot 750 with it straight out of the box. It transitions smooth through the heads and brings a lot of power on the back end. I would definitely recommend this ball to everyone.

    Trident Horizon!

    The Trident Horizon has instantly become a go to ball in my bag. With the Sidewinder core, the Horizon is the perfect ball down from the bigger asymmetrical balls that allows for a cleaner transition through the front part of the lane, with an insane amount of continuation through the pins. I can move in on heavier oil patterns and the Horizon still digs through the oil with ease and doesn't lose any hitting power down lane. With how versatile this ball is, I can see myself drilling more with different layouts in the future to give many different looks to the pocket.

    Layout: 50 x 4 1/2 x 30

    Looks great & scores even better!

    The Trident Horizon is the newest asymmetric ball in MOTIV's line of products and it sure doesn't disappoint. What I love most about this ball is that the Coercion MXC formula is strong enough to use on the fresh of heavier patterns, but the sidewinder core used in the Trident series allows the ball to retain enough energy to corner and still get through the pins as you move left during the duration of a block. Having this ball in your 6 ball arsenal is essential because this ball can do it all and is extremely versatile and can cover a variety of ball motions.

    By far one of the most versatile balls I've thrown recently. It'll be a ball that I'll be taking with me everywhere! If you would like to, please check out my review of the Horizon on YouTube. The ball still kept trucking through the pins as I kept moving left!
