The Hustle INK with polish going to be smooth..... that'll be interesting to see. I have this ball in mind as a ball up to my Radical Rave - I could of kept going with Radical stuff, but it's the price that's important to me right now.

I am interested in seeing how the Hot Cell rolls. Hopefully it hits the reaction they're hoping for, but the price point.. whew boy.

I think everyone's imagining weaker IQ Tour Solid.  It could be really good, but it says Hustle on it so I'm worried lol.

Loco Solid was my jam, loved that ball.

Going to be another month or so, they MIGHT put out some promo videos or Hi-SP in Japan might have some videos soon, but I'll get mine the last week or two in July, the staffers usually get them 3ish weeks in advance.

Yeah I'm not sure if they're going to get away with that or not . . the HP4 line is really where it has to go, because yeah, it's going to be the biggest hooking urethane ball ever made, but at the end of the day, it's still urethane.  For the urethane fans, will probably be epic, but for guys like me who have never gotten along with urethane, just a cool looking ball I won't throw.

You would think they could put it lower. They had to have made their money back on the R&D.

Yeah they could, but I think it's a perception thing.  That's the only reason the Pitch Black is in the Thunder line, it's not a Blue Hammer, it's a pretty big hooking urethane ball.  The Hot Cell will hook a ton for urethane and if they put it lower (where yeah, it probably should be), people may misunderstand.  It's a risky move and I think they know it, but honestly, I would have put it there too.  How much money are they really gonna make on a urethane ball in the first place, not to mention one at a premium price?  It can't be a cash grab, has to be a perception thing is all I can think.

The Hot Cell looks neat but don't want to wait six weeks and pay at least $40 more for it when I can get The Crow now (ordered last night).  I much prefer a symmetric core on a smooth roller and though the Hot Cell will probably cover more boards (higher diff after all) that is not really the point of urethane imho.  The whole point is if I throw the exact same shot, the ball will basically go to the same spot through at least most of a session.   The Crow at least on THS I believe fits that bill better, not to mention I more trust the Faball guys to get a urethane ball right.  The only thing more compelling about the Hot Cell imho is perhaps better carry (edit: also it may handle light oil better but I have a blue hammer already for that) but we shall see.

I wish. Storm/Roto Grip balls never make it to the clearance racks in my area. Pro shops sell out of their stock in them.

Maybe the Hot Cell will though. It's such a specific type of ball and I don't think the masses will find it particularly attractive (and meaning not just the color).

That Crow is stout, rolls like the old blue hammer in my opinion. Comparing era's that is.

I have to agree because if a new urethane piece doesn't appeal to this hammer head (enjoy other brands too, like the Fanatic BTU looks cool) then its missed the mark.  It looks very intriguing on paper except for the asymmetric core and the price tag.  That RG is perfect though the diff is just a bit too much imho.
