Hey guys,
Starting  R&D on next balls which color and performance motion does everyone like.

Thanks for the input.

Green + Black similar to the Nomad solid.

Red/Orange + Silver/Gray similar to the Break pearl or original Inferno.

One could be a control type ball, like a V2 or Cell and another for opening up the lane as the pattern breaks down - cleaner through the heads and reads the dry stronger, but not skid/flip - maybe similar to the original Black Widow.

I think a strong continuous rolling ball is what I would like to see from AZO. I used the Radical Pro Pearl last year and a Ultra Radical solid last year for a bit. I'm real devoted to Roto Grip, knowing that you guys are linked together, maybe use a core similar to the Grand Illusion core with a cover similar to the Rogue, bur stronger, but not as strong as the Mutant Cell I saw being tested today.

Red and Blue(or black) solid with gold pearl polished coverstock - symmetrical core - angular reaction.

At Storm sources, re-release the Trauma (Accu-Tread pearl), but maybe with a simpler core construction, just similar RG numbers. A matte solid version might be added, too.

For the colors... yellow/orange/pewter pearl could be nice. Simple black with bright engravings is also a classic option. Or a combo of white pearl with another bright contrast color, e. g. red pearl, emarald or crimson, for a VERY different look.

Gold...like the old Rhino Pro.  A particle pearl is always nice

Can you do simulated surface textures (kind of like the new cans of spray paint) that approximate the appearance of something like real brick or marble? I''m thinking of something similar to the old Granite Gargoyle, but in more of a red/orange?
You could give a new meaning to "hits like a ton of bricks!".

When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.
