Any word on upcoming new releases?
« on: June 04, 2018, 08:59:01 AM »
Any one have any ideas\picked up on info of what the new releases are going to be??
Bowl expo is still 13 days away. I figured by now Schlem would be dropping hints.

What are you hoping to see? Or take a guess on what we may see?

I’ll guess and say an Idol pearl.

Hp2 prices are now up to $115!!!! .... Literally wtf

Honestly for the Show Off and now the Winner, I think if I was a PSO I would be thinking $169.99 + tax for drilled, inserts, etc. Thunder line goes for $179.99 + tax out the door in my area, so $10 separation fits my eye. With that said, the rest of them I think were $159.99 balls in that line.

To expand because why not. Here's how I see the lines if I was setting PS prices out the door. (All "+ tax")

Premier - $219.99
HP4 - $214.99
Master - $199.99
HP3 - $189.99
Signature - $179.99
Thunder - $174.99
HP2 - $164.99
Hot - $149.99
HP1 -  $139.99
I see everything has gone up apparently... Hustle was 79 and now it's 90... Crazy... They moved the price brackets all up one it seems... Hp1 is now where hp2 was

Some of these are speculation/suggested pricing if I was personally setting the pricing in a pro shop. Just having a bit of fun with it.

I do have some interest in the winner as he said it's a step off of a marvel pearl... Sounds like another strong ball in the hp2 line

Per Schlem, he said the All Out was weaker than some of the Hustles so the Winner is supposed to be a step above the Hustles and step down from Idol

Sounds super close to a Son!Q.



.06 higher RG... you reckon it’ll be close? Have to see how the pearl of that HYB cover goes. Quite enthusiastic that it’ll retain energy a ton better than Soniq - I really wasn’t a fan - but it depends if that cover is any good.

Code Black / Fused got me covered at the top end for pearl and “pearl”, the Winner might go well under those.

I'm just guessing, but with how Roto operates, I could see VTC-P18 Pearl Reactive being stronger and smoother than R2S Pearl. I would venture to say to compensates a touch for that higher RG on the Winner. We'll see though.

I don’t know if it will be as good or better but the winner reminds me of a nomad pearl with those core numbers

Labeling a ball the "Winner" is asking for trouble.  It better be good because if it flops, man the jokes will run forever.

the Winner! seems to have a fair amount of midlane & less backend for a pearl using Rotogrips ball tracker.

The All out Show Off hybrid was a more "traditional" pearl tracking.... thats what i was hoping for out of the Winner!

Sounds like a Marvel Pearl to me. I would either grab an All Out Show Off, Wreck Em, or Hustle POW if I needed tradition cleaner and shape ball. Not sure why this is HP2, but glad such a ball is coming our way.

Just comical that they were both introduced at Bowl Expo and 3 color balls, not just two black or blue balls.

THREAD HIJACK ALERT

Interesting point by Lefty - if a ball company had the stones to do it...would you by a ball called Loser? Even if it was proven to be Idol-IQ -fill in your favorite company's best ball ever-type performance?
