Until I know what im buying from them, I just wont buy. They rename the covers seemingly every year and im not in the business of guessing whats what.

I don't even have a clue what the cover actually is.  Guess it's just a marketing thing, it's new and sounds cool though!!!  I just have to get them and see what happens.  Pretty sure these are actually new covers though, at least I hope so, as long as the HYB isn't like any of the Hustles before the Ink, we'll be ok.

Very nice visuals on these two. Especially the Hustle HYB.

No Rules core must not have been a very good fit for their Hybrid cover options.

the Hustle Hyb, sounds like Light's out redo, which would be great if true.  I guess we will have to see.

I was just thinking that yesterday, would have liked to have seen a hybrid No Rules.  Then again, with the nostalgia wars going on throughout the industry, perfect time for the Hyper Cell name to return.

I thought about it some as well. I was thinking that it might be an ok match but the Nucleus core was a big winner already with a hybrid cover. Majority of the time you're going to go with the ball that you feel has a higher chance of succeeding

And after the No Rules Exist, I think that's exactly what they did.

I've never tried the Nucleus core and would love to. But after the Code Red let down, I'm a bit scared the Hyper Cell Fused would be like doing the Code Red process all over again.

I wouldn't worry about that. Code Red is strong core paired with weaker cover. I don't think there's any reason not to expect the cover on the Fused to be stronger than R2S

Alonzo, you have NOTHING to worry about; It’s by far one of the most consistent, yet versatile balls that Storm/Roto has ever come out with it.   Rarely a letdown with any ball with this a core , and I’ve a ton of Cells throughout the line.

I've had two original Cells and loved them both with that cover combo. Bought the Hyper-Cell skid with huge anticipation, only to be let down because, for me, it was a ten-pin magnet!

I could hit the pocket at almost any angle, and still continuously leave a ten-pin! And they were always ringing tens! So for me, the cover just did not afford the ball the proper chance to slow down and take out the ten pin.

I will be watching this newer version in earnest to see how it does in others hands.

Did you try sanding it to get it to slow down?

Really? all that ball did was strike for me.

The Skid wasn't great for me either, I figured my pin-pap was too long. Gave it to a buddy and he loved it enough to get another
