Title: Absolute
Post by: keegan.mier on December 07, 2022, 12:08:24 PM
New ball with new core, first single density Asym since the Lucid, and a "New" cover with R2S Deep, a "cleaner" version of R2S. Reasonably assumed stateside based on Korean marketing.
Info Text
In most cases, an extra slug, or weighted disk, is needed to create enhanced dynamics, but the equally weighted masses at both ends of the Sentinel Core upgrades this effect more than a single slug ever could. This ensures the Absolute will change direction and continue through the pins better and more consistently.

This is the first single-density asymmetric core in the Storm line since the Lucid. The R&D team has also reduced the amount of weight block mass near the area where the thumb hole is typically placed. The inward angled edges increase the intermediate differential prior to drilling and allows the dynamic integrity to be preserved after drilling because the thumb hole misses the weight block.

The extra intermediate differential makes the Absolute respond to friction on the lane more effectively and won't miss the spot. R2S Deep is cleaner through the front compared to the flagship R2S formula. This yields a more aggressive shape to the pocket with more overall angle through the pins. The consistency of this shell through the heads is something to be marveled at.

officially stateside now.

...does the world really need a cleaner R2S?  ???

What if it's like R1X!?!? Haha
