Title: Up Coming Roto Release
Post by: Locke on May 09, 2009, 11:16:52 AM
Well, I know its coming soon. I have heard from several sources that the Cell replacement will be coming for next season. I'm mostly really looking forward to seeing if they use any names from that name contest a few months ago.

I thought they were replacing the Illusions, not the cell.  But I could be wrong I guess...

Roto usually runs on an 18 month cycle before replacing a ball. Cell came out January 08. August would be the time to replace it. I may have heard wrong. Hopefully Roger will chime in and let us know if I'm just crazy...

Doug is the only one in this thread who is right on...  The CELL's aren't going away.  I believe there is a new core going into the evolution of the next advancement in the Planet line balls but don't know positively the release date of it but I'm quite certain it won't be boy Bowl Expo.  Maybe the October time frame.

Does anyone think they are going back to the rotary core because Wes likes the Silver Streak? He used it quite often during qualifying and match play during the year. Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining but should we all thank Roger and Wes for the gifts we are about to recieve?

Yes it is an overseas ball - but note - it has a core not yet seen in the US - If the Rotary Core is coming to the Sword line that may be the predecessor of the new Shield line.

I am assuming (yeah) that there is a lot more marketing mileage in the Cell.

Having had a second look at the Empire it would seem to fit with or above the Cells. Way too much hook for a Planet replacement - IMHO

I believe Wes was using a Rogue Cell last nite on TV...

Boy that ball made him look good....

Cause I don't think he hit the same mark twice all game... Yet shot 257...

New meaning to the term... "area"

Gentlemen, gentlemen. Simmer a little. We're getting a treat not too far off from now, and everyone's at each others' necks...

Can't we all just anticipate some Rotary core and get along?

Goodness.

Funny on our TV,  it looked like a Rogue... And everyone I talked too today thought that too...But if it was a Cell pearl, no big deal...Never seen a Cell Pearl with that much Purple in it...


I just wanted to "settle" this part quick.  Wes has used a Cell Pearl every week of Kings.  Roto-Grip mentions it on thier website after every telecast.

I would say Solid and Pearl with no Hybrid yet though given a choice I would rather have a Hybrid and a Pearl with no Solid. Give us some decent colors and you should have a sales hit - ball of the year material

Wouldn't that translate to a Roto Grip RSX-7 and RSX-8 with twin Rotary Turbo Cores.

O.K., I have my flame retardant suit on, but  I HATE THE ROTARY CORE! http://www.ballreviews.com/Reviews/Reviews.asp?ManufacterID=15&BallID=286&ReviewID=18015

  I always LOVED what the RUSH did. One of the most predictable, best carrying balls I ever used with the Rotostar on it. Between it and the Global Assault I had, I could hit almost anything except dead dry.

 Oh yea, DANG this ROGUE is STOUT!

...how about some funky bright colors, like a bright yellow or green...or dare i say it....White


Storm has done both bright yellow solid and bright white solid. The former is the first Sun Storm (lightbulb core, quite good in it's day) and the very rare SnoStorm of which I've seen exactly two and one is at the factory.

Problem with both colors is that they look great when freshly cleaned and polished but they get dirty, really, really, dirty, and really, really, fast. Really, I mean they be ugly.  U - G - L - Y.

For bright green we have to go back to the Track Nuke. It looked good. If you liked looking at puke :-)

The green of the Forest Fire Storm was good though. That would be worth repeating and would stand out on the ball rack a bit more than most stuff. I'd also like to see a red like the Red Sun Storm or a simple light blue like the original urethane hammer. Even plain old black is great. But I have simple tastes...


How bout the red sunstorm colors...which by the way was a great favorite of mine.
