“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.

    Wow..

    The Trident Horizon has blown me away already. Not only is it a damn good looking ball, the reaction is just amazing. I drilled it using my favorite ball layout (65x5.25x35) and probably threw the first 10 strikes out of box with the ball. I knew I was going to fall in love. This ball has been my new favorite ball in league, as it just continues even through game 3 (with minor adjustments left). This ball has a definite cleaner and more controllable hook for me, which helps on these over/under houses. If you're in the market for not only a good looking ball, but one that rolls absolutely phenomenally, this ball is for you.

    Your New MUST HAVE!!

    The Trident Horizon has quickly become one of my favorite Motiv balls in my bag due to the versatility it has shown early on! The “Sidewinder ” core lets me move in and circle the lane or keep my angles straighter and play up the lane with the same great look and pin reaction. The New Coercion MXC hybrid cover comes out of the box at a rather dull 4000LSS factory finish which still digs through heavier oil in the heads and makes a strong yet controllable move through the pin deck. If the Forge Flare was too much ball out of the box and you were left looking for the down lane motion of the Flare but need a piece to clear the heads easier the Trident Horizon WILL be your next purchase.
