Was Ebonite's Illusion officially called the Optyx Illusion on the approved list? Because otherwise, wouldn't there be some copyright issue here?

Anyways, sounds like it should be an angular pearl, good for your THS.

i would like to see Roto-Grip re-release the sonic series again, or add to that particular line...that was a good line.

There was an AZO Illusion as well.

This looks like a Horizon that push easier and come off the spot much harder.  The Horizon is awesome, but can have early flare syndrome and lag a bit when oil transitions into the backend due to that super low R.G.  Any word on what grit it will be finished at?

What do you think this ball will do compared to the Mystic?  They look pretty similar don't they?

Longer with a more angular breakpoint compared to the Mystic...although the Mystic could certainly turn a corner...

Hello everyone!

The Illusion is set to be released tentatively on November 1st along with the Storm Attitude Shift.  

We've combined the Ultimate Vision coverstock that we use on our Epics and our new Helios II core.  The Helios II is a higher RG with a lower differential than what is in the Mystic and Horizons.  This translates into more length and a harder turn at the breakpoint.  

Sorry about the logo.  I clicked that link from Buddies and because they have their pro shop logo in the background it really distorts the bowling ball logo a little bit.

If you have any questions let me know.  

Thanks,

Looking forward to drilling this piece up. I'm loving the current Roto stuff.

I noticed that on the RotoGrip website, when you pick a ball, under ball facts theres a space for fragrance.  I know all of the current balls have no fragrance but are they planning on putting it in? Maybe on the new Illusion? I think it would be cool, I like the fragrances from storm.

It's quite possible. I have a Silver Streak SE that has strong traces of the black cherry scent that comes on one of the Tropical Storms, even though the ball is not listed with any fragrance.

That's fairly common since Storm pours there stuff, sometimes theres still some of there material left in the machines. Don't know if they plan on adding fragrances to there stuff though.
