Title: New Releases?
Post by: BWDavy on January 31, 2019, 09:51:58 PM
Halo Burn and Winner Tour show up on the USBC Approved list but not on the Worldwide or International release list on the website.

Any staffers heard anything?

 :( :( :(

Was looking forward to these hopefully becoming worldwide releases.

Anyone heard any rumours/teasers as to what is coming next?

Winner Tour has the same core and coverstock as the original Winner anyways.

Halo Burn has the coverstock most wanted the Idol Pearl to have. That will be an interesting one to watch.

3 new Hustles approved this week.

Oh man, a Hustle Gold. I like the silver/black too. The three purple color is kind of an interesting choice. I'm still betting overseas, but hopefully at least one is stateside.

Driller just got his sheets from supplier

A Halo pearl is coming in March... no pics so not sure if its the burn or not.

Also the Super Soniq is going to be a USA release.  From the bowl.com pics.. looks like a Hybrid

From what i understand, Halo Burn and Super Soniq are currently overseas release. Now that's not saying they aren't coming stateside but i don't see the Super Soniq coming, maybe the Burn eventually.

Confirmed by my Storm Rep both the Halo Pearl and Super Soniq are USA releases for early March. Halo Pearl has the Idol Pearl cover and the Super Soniq has the PhysiX cover.

If it has the fused cover.... That is gonna stink

The overseas Super Soniq has a pearl cover. So maybe another version stateside with the Physix solid cover. My mistake, i'm thinking of the "Ultra Sonic".

MicroTrax is what's on the Idol and Halo. eTrax is what's on the Hyper Cell Fused and Idol Pearl. They are vastly different coverstocks. The latter is quite a bit cleaner and much, much stronger off the spot/downlane.

Makes sense that they went with eTrax for the Halo Pearl though. The Super Idol (overseas) got MicroTrax and so will the Halo Burn. Keeps the stateside Halo and Idol coverstock combination the same too.

I MIGHT get it, but still not a fan of the Halo color combo.

Code X  and Winner Solid   :D but those darker mixes are more my cup of tea.

I will say out of the two releases though, I do like the Halo Pearl look over the Super Son!Q.
