Maybe. But Chuck Gardner will come to Japan to host this demo and this is quite rare for a overseas release.

The Exile and the Edge will very likely be overseas only releases. Unless some 2nds end up on ebay here or at Nationals.

I could see the Edge being a vintage line ball like the LT-48. I had an edge back in the 80's and see the connection, but I doubt it at this time.

I'm pretty sure they said Vintage Line releases were only going to be once a year.  This does not make me happy as I cant wait for them to get to rhinos and zones.

Rash on his fan page said he used the fortera exile in qualifying for the wolf today. Might still be overseas but is interesting.

Im pretty sure you cant use overseas products on the PBA unless you are from the country that it was released in. Sooo im pretty sure that FORTERA EXILE is a state side release.

The Exile may end up being a US release. It matches the colors of one of the 6 balls sent out by Brunswick in an email for June release.

The rules regarding use of overseas releases on the PBA tour allow it if you get permission to use them.

Has anyone read or seen anything about a Melee Cross? It's supposed be a solid and teal.

The FORTERA EXILE is listed on the PBA website for sale to members.  So I'm guessing that it is indeed a US release.

So is it just words?  I don't understand the naming process.   It sounds like a 'lord field' ball...or named by someone who doesn't speak english.

Heck it's not my company to run..what evs...I guess the name doesn't matter anyway right?

Here is a picture of the Fortera Exile.  Unfortunately there are no specs for it.
