- Prime Solid

First Impressions
Released in November 2025, the Pyramid Prime Solid marks an aggressive addition to the brand's high-performance segment. Visually this ball is hard to miss: it comes in an extremely bright "Neon Orange" that jumps out immediately on the lane. Technically it's a real powerhouse for heavy oil. Inside works the newly developed "Fractal Torus Asymmetric" core, a dual-density design that provides quick revving and massive energy transfer. This engine is wrapped in the "GPS Navigational ATX-XX Solid" cover. That surface comes out of the box with a rough 2000-grit Abralon finish, which allows the ball to literally claw into the film of oil. The combination of an asymmetric core and a tacky solid cover signals right away: this ball wants to read early and not skid.
Comparison
Compared directly to the Pyramid Fortress Endgame, which used a similar coverstock technology, the Prime Solid feels somewhat more determined through the midlane. Where the Fortress Endgame was often considered a "tank" for heavy oil, the Prime Solid offers a slightly quicker response to friction thanks to the new Fractal Torus core, without losing the control typical of a solid. Compared to a market leader like the Storm Phaze II (even though that one is symmetrical), the Prime Solid moves considerably earlier and stronger in overall hook. A more fitting comparison would be the Hammer Black Widow 3.0: both use asymmetric cores and aggressive solid covers to show dominance on heavy oil, with the Prime Solid often showing a slightly rounder, more continuous motion off the backend than the sharp "kick" of the Widow series.
On the Lanes
The Pyramid Prime Solid is an absolute specialist for fresh oil and medium-heavy to heavy conditions. It's the first choice when league play starts and the lanes are still swimming in oil. Its rough surface prevents the dreaded squirt at the breakpoint and guarantees that the ball reads the boards reliably. It's a great fit if you need more traction to get the ball to hook, or if you're a speed-dominant player whose balls often skid too far. Once the lanes dry up over the course of the evening (transition), though, you should put it back in the bag, since it then tends to burn up its energy too early and run flat into the pins.
