I can say after undergoing the hp number system the products have been awesome! Im excited!
-
DERANGED will be a no brainer !!
-
Yea pretty interested in rumble...looking for smooth ball for medium conditions...seems to be it....am I right?
-
All the new balls will be great. Roto Grip's line is getting better and better.
-
I'm glad roto grip made a pure pearl defiant because it showed in the sales of the defiant soul how beneficial it is for a ball that reads cleaner in the heads with a stronger downlane move than the defiant edge.
-
They had the edge, but apparently wasn't overall successful.
-
Am I the only one who sees the toxic when I look at the deranged? Disappointing colors...good thing color doesn't matter! Lol. Totally Defiant looks like a winner for sure.
-
Happy with the new releases but what is the big difference between the Defiant Edge and Totally Defiant ? And I almost got my wish, I really wanted a hybrid cover with the Middle Road 70 core because I LOVE my Disturbed!

I'm liking the new Shout. This looks like a summer league ball for sure! As hot as it gets here in the Texas Panhandle, oil evaporates and carries down really weird. This looks like a winner for me.
Rumble looks nice and the Totally Defiant looks really good too. Might have to dive deeper into the Roto line now.

+1 I have a Defiant Edge. This ball is money on longer patterns. Not so good on the short THS, unless you are speed deprived. It tends to read and give a controlled motion to the pocket.
A all pearl Defiant, in "theory"( pardon the pun) should be real clean through the heads with a big backend move on the back, helping to really show the strength of the cover/core combianation! I can't wait to see it. It should be a big seller.
-

it didn't have the backend pitential that the soul had. And i don't consider that ball flippy.
And i have to admit i am disappointed in the colors of the deranged. I was hoping for a dark green and purple combo or something like that.
-
I hope some staffers can get us early pics
they all seem to really be great shelf appeal
-
We can order them July 1 and they are scheduled to ship July 8.
If someone a little higher up the food chain posts some pictures, I will send a link. I know Steve Richter and definitely Jeff Carter get their hands on the new releases quicker. If your not a FB fan of Jeff Carters page, click here: https://www.facebook.com/JeffCarterCoaching?fref=ts
Jeff's page is worth the time to check out.

Release date sooner than the 23?
-
Storm Pro Shops and Staffers always get their equipment sooner than the regular customer. That goes to say with any other company. The proshop I use gets all his 900 Global and AMF really early. And he is in the videos for their releases.
-
Of course. I know some will be showing up down here soon. I know some staff members that already have them, but being stingy with pictures.
-
I know color doesn't make a ball, but I also don't like the color of the Deranged. The Total Defiant in the other hand looks great!

Very inters

Very interesting indeed, like that color combo should be a eye catcher.
-
Now that I watched the video, I know I don't like the color for the Deranged, but I will still get it, because performance matters not color, and I am sure that this pearl version of the Disturbed will preform.
-
I would be excited about the Roto Rumble but I already have a very similar cousin.
The Storm Hot Wire!
http://www.stormbowling.com/products/balls/classic/hot-wire?search=hot%20wire&exclusiveClassic=false
This ball has almost the same core specs, is symmetric, has an inverted flip block which seems to smooth out the move, and the Hot Wire has the awesome Accutread solid for smoothness. This is some of the smoothest!
I hope the Rumble is as good. I am convinced that I have a wonderful wet dry ball in the Hot Wire for fresh league conditions!
Dying to see the Rumble provide this same readability off the spot and smoothness.
Let me know!

PS Videos Videos Videos? When are they coming out!

Hmmmm. I have always liked that coloring. Looks like a "deranged" Toxic going down the lane!
-
i feel like lucky lefty needs an updated arsenal. whenever i read his posts he always brings up 10-15 year old balls lol. im just bustin on you dude, all in good fun
-
I appreciate the kidding!
The neatest thing about those old pills is they all hook! A lot! or the right amount.
Just picked up an NVS....
REgards,

PS I just found a Columbia Beast that looks like it was rolled thru the parking lot! Rolls great, hooks smooth!
PPS I do own an powerful Brunswick UltiMax(Powerful)

Still throwing a Beast, they just roll so smooth. I'm looking to rebuild my arsenal as my newest ball is the Storm Eraser PBT. It still rolls really well ( not a lot of games on it before I quit several years ago) but I'm looking for a lighter oil ball and one that is good for when things start to break down. May give one of the new Screams or Shouts a go!
-
Looking forward to the Deranged, and the Rumble. I love the Wrecker and i love that core!! And the Deranged i do like the color. Kindof different, but I like it!
-
The Totaly Defiant looks like a good replacement for the Defiant Edge. I would have waited but couldn't pass a closeout deal on the Critical Theory. That will round out my heavy oil arsenal nicely.
I'll be interested to see how the Deranged and the Rumble do. I've always liked the Neutron Core, so I'm excited to see what the new core will do.

I'm just curious, but where did you find a close out on a Critical Theory this late in the game?
-
In my area several pro shops had a CT in stock. You can get a old piece if you ask. Often they have older stuff in the back. On a shelf, floor or where ever.

Unfortunately the shops around me didn't have any left. The distributors they go through didn't either. The Critical Theory around here is very popular, and several are thrown in my league. One of my teammates has 2 of them.

Yeah I understand all that, but in my area nobody stocks Storm or Roto because they are Ebo Int preferred. I just know you can't find them anywhere, anymore, at least I haven't been able to.

I picked up a CT yesterday for my gf, finally we get to ditch her pure physics lol..can u say upgrade?! Haha

JamminJD: Sent you a PM with the link. Mine arrived within 1-1/2 days after ordering (used the free shipping option) and will be drilling it this week.

Why does all the websites say the roto grip equipment is coming out on 8/13/13?
-
Somone got the wwrd wrong. Also, I have seen the release dates get pushed back due to high demand...they did last year I believe. Happens all the time in the cell phone world..
-
I believe they just changed it within the past few days. But yeah, the current line is still in pretty high demand.
-
just a few questions from a curious on looker. I was looking at the numbers and the defiant soul and the new defiant have the same numbers,but the new one has a stronger move off the spot? Would having the new one plus the old one be overkill? And last if you had to get one which would you prefer. I was going to get the soul,but now with a new option i'd like to make a good better informed decision.
-
The two that would overlap would be the edge and the totally defiant, being that they are both pearl and both at the same finish. The soul will be much different that the new totally defiant. I have the first three and my edge does not have enough games on it to get rid of it...so im on the fence due to overlap there. I gotta see a comparison video to make my final decision

Anyone seen these pills yet? Anyone roll the Rumble?
Dying to hear about it!

If I remember the last e-mail I seen about these new pills, even staffers are not getting them for awhile. Well at least ones near the bottom of the food chain. :)

I hear that they have increased production and still can not get ahead of the demand for IQ's, Disturbed's etc that is out now. So had to push back production of the new nuggets

Utah is in the bowling business. .and business is GOOD!

Just picked up the Disturbed. Thinking about getting another Wrecker for future use. No need for any of the new stuff for now. This last batch of Roto marbles has been great. Not surprised that they are trying to maximize sales before moving on.
