It looks like the Spit Fire is going to replace the Fired up, and the thunder line will replace the old master line balls.

I'd also say "goodbye" to the Banshees. I just wonder how much difference there will be between the Pyro and the Double Agent? Does not seem to be much to me. And I wonder where the Jolt line will fit? Could be just above entry level?

Flash Line = Banshees;  I'd guess they are gone as well.

I'd expect a reasonable amont of difference between the Pyro and the Double Agent since there is about a 2-4 board(depending on condition) difference between the Fired Up and the Agent.  I am personally looking forward to this ball as an Ace replacement.

I am assuming the Spit Fire will replace the Fired Up.  These balls are way too similar to keep both in your offerings.

I asked this on the other thread and got no answer so I'll ask again.  Any ideas on release dates?  I am primarily interested in the Double Agent.

Hot Rod Series is being replaced by the Jolts.  That's what I heard yesterday.

Damn, I liked the Hot Rods too!  I guess I'll have to pick up another one from that line before they are all gone.

Yeah from my source with Storm they recieved a little letter from a certain magazine(hot rod) about a copyright infrigement of the name usage. so the Jolt is there replacement. Basically the same balls.

I'm sorry to sound dense, but does this mean Storm is releasing these balls basically simultaneously?  If so has any ball company released 6 new balls and 2 new colors of an existing ball this way?

I agree with everything, but the statement about the Pyro and Double Agent.  The fired up and Agent only differed in the core not at all in the cover, the same applies for the Double Agent and the Pyro.  The Agent series is just earlier rolling cores with the Reactor cover, something new please?

If the spit fire and fired up are so similar, then why even release the spit fire.  Just continue making the fired up.

Storm is filtering down some decent technology and they are making balls that will work, but where's the innovation.  They promised innovation and to an extent delivered with the Paradigms, but now they seem to be afraid of trying something new.

I am sure the new high end stuff is coming.  I like the rotation they are doing on the mid-level stuff.
