Now that the ball is on the approved list, I wanted to give everyone here a sneak peak.

I had the pleasure to test this ball in the past couple weeks and the best thing I can tell you now is those of you here who were Streak fans need to get in line with you local pro shop for the initial releases from Utah.  I put my test balls in the same two favorite Streak layouts and have a look in my bag that I haven't had for 3+ years.

I only threw it in box finish and found I could shape it any way I needed to on both THS and PBA-X patterns - something I could do with my solid Streaks of the past.  I indicated to Hank that I want to see it with a little 2000 texture to see how different they could be.  I'll get that done early next week.

Please let me clarify.  Because I saw such a marked difference between the Solid, Pearl and SE, I'll tell you that although the Illusion is a pearl, it reminded me most of the solid in terms of how smooth it was throughout the first 40' of the lane.  If anyone has more specific questions on what/how I tested, please PM me and I'll be happy to answer any of your questions.

If, it's like the Streak's this will be a good ball.  I saw Steve at Willow Creek few years back with a Solid Steak in very deep and he carried the world.  

I always thought the Streak line was RG's best line of balls.

Last week at our PBA-X league meeting, I was able to
tryout Steve's Illusion on last years Masters pattern.
Knowing going in that this ball would be closer to a
"Streak" reaction and pearl.. first look at the Illusion
had me wondering if the info on it being a pearl was right..
An e-mail to Hank confirmed that it was.. As I was practicing
I thought the idea of a pearl on a fresh pattern would be
brutal and read every little change.. the Illusion rolled like
a solid than a pearl... looking at the ball baffled resulted
in the e-mail...  In short, I look foward to seeing what the
Illusion does on a house shot for Steve.. I'm making room in
the bag for this beauty!!!

Isn't the ultimate vision cover a pearl particle?
