i heard rumors of another ball in the planet line thats supposedly gonna be great and ofcourse another epic, anyone have any info on anything.

So if Roto was planning on releasing a High end ball (presumably a ball in the Epic line) and an Entry level ball (presumably a ball in the Planet line) before the start of the season (in August) that is too early? Considering that the Epic Battle and Saturn were released towards the end of January, and the next two supposed balls will probably be announced at Bowl Expo (most manufacturers announce their upcoming releases there) and probably not even available till the end of July or first part of August, how can a 5 to 6 month lapse of time between releases within the same line of balls be too soon? Against industry average, this is far below the norm. This is also one of the reasons why I feel that Roto-Grip is one of the best manufactures on the market today. They simply do not flood the market with several releases. Every ball that they have come out with has its very own unique and desirable reaction that compliments the other Roto balls very well.

Roto Grip has been pretty active on ball releases of late; Saturn, Epic Battle, and Horizon.  

The R-Series seem to be on their way out.  Horizon seems to be the new mid priced theme.  Expect more later on this year.  

The Saturn is a huge success. Rumor says "more planets to come".  Sonics out??

Oracle's out.  Epic's in.  

Quite a re-vamp for Roto Gip.  Totally surprised with all their releases so far.
Getting fairly aggressive with their release cycle.

Grandpa,

The USBC passed a rule lowering the differential from .080 to .060 as of Feb. 1 of this year, but grandfathered previous balls in (SD-73, MTX are safe for now).

As far as the weight hole rule/CG placement for 2007, that rule was voted down.

I noticed that Roto-Grip on Myspace has a profile song now. Wonder if that has anything to do with anything?

There is a planet line release, as well as a new Epic.  From my source, speedyosh is very close, but not exact.
