Link? Man I hope that's US...sounds like an HP-3 type name but I can't imagine what else they could add to that line. Unfortunately, they just released the Demented (basically deranged) to overseas so I wouldn't be surprised if it is an overseas asylum or disturbed.

It's hp4, with an asymetrical core.  The naming sounds hp4 though doesn't it?

Nvm I found it via Bill's usual source:

Interesting that they compare it to the defiant soul...maybe they are moving to replace the defiant series finally?

Hmmm... interesting, new core and new mass bias/psa marking. My guess is that this is an overseas release and we'll see something similar but as a solid first here in the states. But lately the Storm folk have been on to us and the overseas sites and they've been mixing it up to keep us guessing... lol

I didn't notice the PSA marking at first but it's the Sync marking which is kind of weird considering its not a sync core, nor even a storm ball...

Cage Core and 76H Hybrid cover. test data shows it significantly stronger than a similarly drilled Totally Defiant. I WANT IT

The Hyper Cell is too strong for what I want, but I want something stronger than the Defiant Soul I had. This ball looks to be exactly that
