I'd like to talk about how the new ball looks, but I haven't seen it yet.

WOW look at that core.  

And that picture makes it look ugly as sin...but that's obviously not a good pic so I will save my opinion for later.

Sweet.

Hmmm, looks to me like a Vanguard core with just a fat flip cap to create more asym. diff.?

I suppose that it will lokk much like an XXcel, juding the color description. But a nice find, thank you for the post!

It is a Vangaurd core. It is 23% larger with a with a "continuation block". I was a little disappointed that it wasn't a "brand new" core that was kinda hinted at in the past and that it was just modified. Overall though I do have to admit it sounds like it will be a successful release.

I am fine with it, the Vanguard as it is is still stronger than 90% of the other cores out there, so this will probably be the strongest by far on the market I simply can't wait to give it a shot.

Just out of curiosity.  Where do you folks bowl where you need a ball this strong ??  I bowl in the Northeast and we have no where near the oil to use a ball like this, unless your ball speed is over 21mph with no hand.  Most of us use high pins with high polish.

I am not picking on anyones game, just like to know what part of the country puts down a lot of oil.

I won't buy it, just for this reason. Currently, with lighter oil and shorter patterns, I even cannot use my S&A at OOB at the moment, it just burns up...

I've used my AH on every one of the PBA patterns that I've thrown on.  Also, use it on league play.  And I do average about 21 mph...  Usually don't have to swing it a ton though.  Although...

Well I don't know if you do Tournements or stuff like that but then you can use stuff that is this strong from time to time. I personlly would buy one then put some polish on it and use it in league I don't know yet, but I usually think of something to do with them.

The Vanguard is the strongest core in bowling.  I'd really have to get a better picture of the new core to draw conclusions as to how similar it is to the vanguard.  As far as who will be able to use this ball, it has been rehashed with every hook monster that Mo releases.  The TS&A, S&D, AH, and even AR to an extent have encountered this criticism.  Yes, if you drill the ball strong, you will have to be bowling on a great deal of oil to be in play, or have no hand.  The beauty of asymetrical equipment is that you can put the pin at about 2 1/2" from your pap and have a good all around ball that can be fine tuned with mass bias placement.

The color is kind of like a swirled purple and black. It can be seen on BrunsNick's Bowl Expo vid.
