New ball

I think I heard that a new ball from Ebonite is coming soon called the Pivot. Has anyone heard anything about it.

I doubt the Ebonite cover is as strong as the anything Storm put around that core for the US market.

It looks very similar to the Powershot core Hammer put into the Amp.

Also, I'm not sure on what went into the cover, but with it being 500 Abralon, 1500 Abrabet (?) it would be similar to the Amp. I'm concerned that if it is, and it being high performance, you're paying top dollar for the performance a mid-high in the Amp would give you.. so I'd love to see how this compares to (and should exceed) the Amp.

I agree with billdozer and the core number are very similar to the shape lock cores numbers from the VG!

The amp core looks like the MAD core from the azo area check, storm vivid, and lucid. 

A certain brand is clearly lacking creativity and clearly stating 'if u cant beat em join em?' Or is it plagiarism?  At least from an art stand point (CAD is art right?) Plagiarism is a no no!

Since you brought up art... what about artistic license?

You can be sure that after the Mission Domination/250K vs. Paradigm Domination BS, EBI probably made just enough tweaks to not "cross the line" in the area of trademark/copyright law... or is this in the patent law area now?

Like it or not... we are all talking about it, and most haven't been compensated one iota.

I have no clue,  but I certainly dig the creativity of what im seing out of the track 910a and 900G the protocol. ..they just feel fresh, new, and exciting!

Definitely copyright law, but you also have to think about how asinine that is.. it's like 3com Communications (network card manufacturer) getting sued by 3M for improper use of the number '3', which 3M believed they had copyrighted. that would mean that for anything to be marketed with the number '3', 3M believed that the other company would have to license the number from them.

Sounds stupid, no?

Mine came in yesterday. Lots of things going on, hope to try it out on Monday.
1500 might be too much for my slow ball speed. Colorful it is.
