Title: Coming Soon?
Post by: 2handedrook12 on October 11, 2016, 12:13:43 AM
Any ideas on what's coming soon besides a No Rules Pearl? Kinda hoping we will see a newer pearl cover on the MR70 core. Any thoughts?

Looks like the Dare Devil is going to be in the smooth/benchmark territory. Which is good, Roto Grip hasn't had one of those in a while. It also has both a new core and coverstock.

Two new Hustle balls as well. The POW and RIG. Both pearls with the same coverstock, looks like just two new color options instead of differences like there was between the SAY and PRO. The POW doesn't have any numbers listed for 15 or 16 pounds. That's kind of interesting.

HP3 with a light bulb core though? Seems a little pricey for that if the usual HP3 pricing follows up.

I thought the core looked a lil bland myself.  Especially for a ball called dare devil?

But it has the cover of the NoRules Pearl, Amped... May be worth considering. Read Schlems comparison.  :D

Yeah but for an extra $20 to $30 I get a free bag. LOL

That's the relevant part. Being in the HP3 price category makes sense with that in mind. Personally I don't put a ton of emphasis on core shape, just the numbers, so the Dare Devil having a simplistic/common looking shape doesn't both me much. Everybody has their own preferences though.

I almost like seeing a simple core shape more. It is definitely interesting that it uses the same cover from the No Rules Pearl

Nothing wrong with the core...U know it'll roll good!  Just a marketing fail to me.

Core aesthetics are nothing but marketing, if they just left the cores looking "normal," you'd have a bunch of bland looking geometry shapes that are just manipulated to get the numbers they're after.  So it's a lightbulb, don't care, the numbers are what matter.  The reaction is what makes it an HP3 line ball, not the way the core looks.  Very strong numbers for a lightbulb core, if you want to pay attention to what actually matters.

On the outside we find the brand new Ampedâ„¢ Pearl coverstock which will provide plenty of length yet yield plenty of responsiveness to friction down lane. Again not uncontrollable but it is definitely strong and that is what we were looking for in our testing process. If I had to compare this cover to something more recent, the Amped Pearl is closely comparable to the 73MHâ„¢ Pearl that was found on the Hyper Cell Skid.

So when the No Rules Pearl comes stateside it will be really interesting to see how it compares to the Hyper Cell Skid.
