After the success of the Critical Theory...
« on: December 13, 2016, 03:00:41 PM »
Why is the Critical not shown more love? No one on here talks about it, I haven't seen it in any of the telecasts I have seen, and have only seen one in person.

Yes, I have not seen many Criticals either. RG has already discontinued it and I think it was overshadowed by the NoRules...

I agree with tloy, it just seems to have been overshadowed

I had one and liked it, but felt the Haywire was a better over all ball and took surface changes better

Mine is awesome and completely unique in my bag....

Y'all are crazy.  What's not to like about a 3000 grit hybrid assym, at a widow price point?  Oh...and it hooks a ton off the spot.

U millennials lol

Billdozer,

Don't get me wrong, I had the Critical Theory and thought about the Critical but I have to be selective in my equipment purchasing. I had to decide between the Critical and Norules and the NoRules won. No regrets , but may try to get one before their gone...

I don't think I qualify as a millennial as I am 48 ;) LOL

I do think that RG discontinued it too quick though :(

No rules or critical is a easy decision. Critical is a meh ball, it's ok.

  Yeah this seems to be common practice with this company.  It appears that if something isn't a hot seller out of the gate, the plug gets pulled quickly.  They seem to take a spaghetti approach.  Just keep throwing balls out there until something sticks. One wonders if there is actually a plan.

Storm has fallen into that from time to time as well. I remember this particularly with the X-Factor line. They released the X-Factor Reloaded, and then the Fear Factor came out almost immediately thereafter. Sometimes they release too many balls in a short period of time, and since most people want the newest one, others fall by the way side.

I couldn't agree more with the last 2 posts..... I absolutely love Motiv's approach ....... If more companies adapted this approach,  it would make ball purchasing so much more simple.

I guess when you've had a run like Storm has, you just can't help yourself, you from time to time can trip over your own cord.   ???

5 bucks says you'll be able to use the critical.  I got a No Rules with No Holes cuz my 3 centers have No Oil... Lol

I agree with Motivs release schedules are awesome and well planned. Like clockwork.

Yes they are impending.... It's sad, but as been mentioned before, it's just a matter of time now before  most companies' start to hit rock bottom, where (in my opinion)  the masses stop buying at a 90% clip or so.... Then what do they do then???

I was really thinking about getting this at one point but after it just had radio silence on release, I started thinking it was a dud. I can really see how the no rules overshadowed it though
