Lets say you could tell Roto what to design for there next new ball, what would you like to have? would it be something from the past revamped? or do you have something special in mind? lets here it!

I would design a re-release of the RSP without the filler core and one of todays strong Coverstocks.....

I would do either a re-release of the Cell or possibly the Nomad series, with updated covers and maybe some tweaks to the cores.

Something with a solid cover that doesn't shine up everytime you throw it and keeps a decent reaction for more than 5 games.

I saw there is a "retro" cell that is approved and I'm hoping that its for the US market...but I doubt it.

Rotary Core with a plastic cover
Rotary Core with the Sure Grip II cover
Orbiter II core with the Microbite cover
Paragon core with the Sure Grip II cover
I just like the thought of mixing up weaker core with strong covers, and stronger cores with weak covers
Throwing what works, which seems to be Roto and Motiv...

Definitely right about the Defiant. In fact, I just drilled one up earlier this week and that ball has to be 1 of the best RG has produced. I also like it a lot more than the VG Nano that I recently sold.
Now that SD73 cover and the Defiant's Paragon core you mentioned...that would probably produce 1 of the strongest balls that's ever been made.

Wow! A lot of intriguing ideas here. My fav pieces were Nomad, Epic Battle, RSP, Mystic, and Horizon. having said that and been watching the Defiant in action.....I'd love to see a particle pearl Defiant for added length, strength, and control!

cell original coverstock with the defiant core.. or infinite theory coverstock with the defiant core. the defiant is a little to strong for my preferances. but GREAT BALL. i would just rather bowl outside the 15 board on ths.

The Bandit/Outlaw core with the SD73 cover
The Mystic and Grand Illusion to be re-released...

I will second, re release the grand illusion,best benchmark ball ever!

They need a low rg symmetric. That would complete the line.
Post by: tommyboy74 on April 02, 2012, 11:07:05 PM
Another idea could be for those who like urethane, pair the Rotary Core with the Retrothane cover used on the Grenade. That would move it easily above the remake of the Blue Hammer that EBI is producing currently.
I'm also thinking of a pearl cover with the Neutron Core used in the Shooting/Rising Star covers. That would offer a complete line.
The idea of a low-RG symmetrical product is one that's needed.
