Just looked the specs on the Saga..I can't wait to try this out !

I'm thinking it will have a similar ball motion to the Dyno CM.

Both half solid/half pearl, super strong asym cores

Hey Roger any reason form not going with a all pearl Epic ?

Agreed, I believe I'll be "camping out" for one of these when they first come out

I have to admit that they both look really good. To my eyes, the Epic Saga is especially nice to look at. However, it's a medium lane ball and I can't see that much difference between it and the Horizon. I love the core of the Epic's but I'm not sure I can justify that to buy the Epic Saga. Okay....now someone out there....try convincing me otherwise....(please).

I would imagine the Epic Saga would be much stronger overall than the Horizon, both in the midlane and off the spot.  This is obviously pure speculation, but seeing as how it's got a believably stronger cover and a stronger, assym core, it would be overall stronger (and more versatile I would imagine) than the Horizon.

I'll be all over that Venus-Particle Pearl/Orbiter Core sounds like as if it was made for me THANK YOU !!! I was kind of hoping that the new Epic was going to a Particle Pearl to replace the Oracle Vision as the hole in the line up still seems to be there between the Battle and the Epic at least for me. Both balls look to be very sweet on the lanes and will undoubtably find thier way into many arsenals. Thank You for keeping us Roto Heads above the rest.

I agree that this ball will be much stronger on the back end than the Horizon, it's got the same coverstock as the SSSE, and that ball flips harder than almost anything I've ever thrown (except for the Fired Up from Storm).  Take that coupled with the fact that it uses the Epic Battle core which drove one of the hardest flipping solid particle balls ever and you have the definition of skid/flip.

In my opinion, the Saga will be stronger than the original Epic.  The core is stronger, and the cover will store more energy, making it cover more boards down lane.  The Saga should be the best of the 3, being the cover is very tweakable, and the core is extremely versatile.  Dull with a strong layour, it will handle more than enough volume for the regular player, and OOB with a normal layout, it will be very clean and very strong off the spot.  Some free agent tour players will most likely be disappointed that Roto cannot be used.  The Saga will be a real winner.

302efi - The reason we didn't go all pearl was because we just came out with the Horizon...all pearl.    

cnimsk - I would suggest waiting for some comparison videos.  That would definitely be beneficial to watch before purchasing.  I agree with you though.  If you already have the Horizon, you probably don't need the saga.  

M Bethe - We did test a pearl particle version, but we discussed and thought about saving that coverstock for a later release (2007).  

Juggernaut - Not until July 27th, 2006.  Maybe a few "Star" Shops will have some earlier than that.  We are in good shape regarding our timeline for launch.  I would pre-order it now if you can!  

RotoDave - 1% (the magic #)

ragnrk - Dan Smith (our eastern region sales mgr.) did think it hooked a few feet sooner and 5 more boards.  That was all visual though, no cats testing there.

I hope I answered all the questions.  re-post if you have any other questions.  

Thanks,

Excellent releases Roger,

Love the Venus particle pearl release with the big orbiter core (will duo with the saturn very well), and the Saga Hybrid sets up the Epic line towards perfection (with the later addition of a pure pearl), a hybrid that will move (ultimate vision - with maximus core)(novel; ideal).

Sweet. Wow!

One word:

*drool*

Roger, you guys just keep pumping out things that make me want to visit and shake everyone's hand.  Roto is impressing me so much.  This is why I'm changing my entire arsenal to nothing but Roto's.

Oh...quick question:

Will Roto go back to Full Registration with the PBA?  I'd love to see someone throwing a Roto ball on TV once again.
