With everyone else dropping new stuff seems like Roto is keeping things low key....hopefully that means big things!!! But what do you think is next? New Sinster? Reboot for the h2 and h3 line?

When is bowl expo?

Just confirmed on their facebook page that new releases will be announced on June 25th.

Everyone the last year or so has been moving some of their release dates up.  Usually bowlexpo was the info release and then late july early august was the wwrd for purchase.

Heard there will be a solid sinister

I think every tier will get a new solid. Solid sinister, something to replace the disturbed and something to replace the rumble. They do a good job of filling there gaps but I still think they need to release products 3 times a year because their lineup can get stale after so long.

Heres the rub, since RG doesn't flood the market, their lineup is "stale" after awhile. And we wonder why balls are released at a rapid pace.

You don't have to flood the market to have a decent lineup. I think Motiv does a great job with there releases, 1 or 2  balls every 2 to 3 months. I just think Roto needs 1 more release date there somewhere. Example: even though the wrecker is a great ball it was released almost 3 years ago, same with the uproar about 2 years ago. And they are still in the current lineup.

Except the UpRoar and Wrecker are good/great balls, Patrick Allen used the Wrecker on tonights telecast. New isn't always better.

I totally agree with you, those balls are great but are they still really selling at a high volume? Does the average Joe  buy a ball that is good and 3 years old or do they want the brand new flavor of the month release?

Who cares? Tournament after tournament, you're seeing ole reliable, Hyroad, IQ Tour, etc

I intensely dislike the release schedule set forth by most companies. You're going to keep a ball in your lineup but change the name? Way to screw over pro shops, who are now scared to buy in bulk because they will more than likely be discontinued by end of the season. Even my beloved Break has gone thru several name changes, meanwhile staying in the line for almost 8 years. Why not just keep it the same in the line, release different covers to achieve different reactions, and build name recognition. The Break, with its classic black color scheme, has been the Break, Break Out, Purple Eagle, Black Eagle, now the Black Ops. Exciting new releases, yes. Hard to keep a large overstock because it might be discontinued by seasons end? Yes. The days of the V2, Nitro, Rhino Pro, are mostly gone, and the day of NEW NEW NEW even through its the same thing are here. I respect a slow ball release schedule. Shows thought and a plan, as opposed to an almost predictable High end solid, hybrid, Pearl release schedule. Some companies are more guilty of this than others.
