Anyone notice how large the core is in the Fight?  Easily one of the largest cores I've seen in a long time.  It looks like it'll be a good Hy-Road Solid replacement.

I'm willing to bet that the Fight will outsell and outperform the other ones for your average league bowlers. I'm actually really interested in watching it and throwing it

I like the looks and numbers of the Phase.  Flight scares me a bit with the ultra high RG.  I've never had much luck with 2.6+ cores.

S^2

I'd like to personally welcome the Phaze. I'm still heading to Motiv, and looking forward to it, but I'm sure the Phaze will be the ball that brings me back to at least trying Storm for the first time in years.

The Fight is high rg at 2.62 for 15lb. Phaze I think is another attempt at trying to recreate the Marvel Pearl

Don't tell Charlest!!!  :D

Found ya!!!

I like the Fight - it really looks like a different animal. I wonder how the R4S will compare to the R2S??

Yet the 14 lb. core has a much  lower RG (but still highish) at 2.58 (vs the 15's 2.62), with a good average differential of .042.

I was thinking the Phaze would be a replacement for the Optimus since so many did not like that ball. But then again it was rumored to be similar to the Marvel Pearl. I think it will be a winner. They've had enough time to get it right for sure. And the public is crying for the Marvel Pearl to come back haha.

The Fight makes me think of the Reign line. Huge core. Higher Rg. And red!!!

But I'm really curious as to what the Alpha is doing out. I thought there was a patent infringement issue between Brunswick and Storm on the Crux core design and Storm could no longer use the core??? It will probably be similar to Hyper Cell cover. Alpha tells.me its gonna hook in the back swing and be much earlier than even the Crux was. Oh well they got me again!

My name is Matt and I've been a ball whore for 15 years now......

Storm and Mo* settled, allowing Storm to continue making the Crux core, but MoRich/Brunswick reached a settlement with Storm. I think this is Storm, shaking their tail at Brusnwick with the whole "Alpha" deal. Let us not forget that this should be stronger than the Crux. Maybe nudging one of the Guru's off the hook perch? We'll see. A 70 day early leak though? That's insane.
