- Blueprint Project 1.618

First Impressions
The Pyramid Blueprint Project 1.618 shows up in an extremely menacing Black and Blue solid color blend. At the center of this model beats the asymmetric SG 19.5 Asymmetric motor, which features a low RG of 2.490, a strong differential of 0.050 and an intermediate differential of 0.020. The outer layer consists of the GPS Navigational Solid Reactive coverstock, dulled to 2000 grit Abralon out of the box. This combination of an extremely early-revving motor and the heavy surface should make the ball grab extremely early and deliver a massive, heavy roll phase.
Comparison
Compared to the pearl version of this model, the Blueprint Solid offers noticeably more early traction and a far more arcing reaction in heavy oil. Against the Storm Alpha Crux, the Blueprint delivers similarly massive midlane control and a strong asymmetric snap at the breakpoint. When friction on the lane increases and the transition dries up the front part of the lane, this ball reacts extremely sensitively and burns up energy immediately. It needs wet oil in the heads.
On the Lanes
The Pyramid Blueprint Project 1.618 is ideally suited to lane conditions with extreme oil volume. For strokers and tweeners it offers the chance to play direct lines on freshly oiled patterns, since the surface finds immense hold in the heads. The steady drive toward the pocket should deliver convincing carry, as the ball rolls extremely heavy through the pin deck. Once the lane dries up, however, the ball can hit flat. In those moments a cleaner cover is the better call.
