Just saw this on Buddies... they also have a couple paragraphs of marketing info.

i figured this would be coming from storm
they make a hit for a sister company to like test it out before they go and put something similar in their line.


What Roto uses a similar core?  The Cell core is not the same.

i didnt mean same core i mean general reaction and everything  it says right in its paragraph basicly the same type ball reaction as the cell has and just to make myself clear i really wasnt trying to start any fight i just wnted to state what i thought but to continue with twhat i was saying why make basicly the same reaction ur both sister companies make a little variation because now u have to decide storm or roto instead of making a little advancement so people want both



" a tune-able break point found in an asymmetrical core combined with the continuation and finish of symmetry" thats a quote straight from one of the cell demo videos except he says it a tiny bit different  reaction of assym with the hit of  sym.

Each company has their own R&D team so they are not using Roto as a test dummy. Does not every company copy something successful?

I see what you're going for, but you're really reaching.  Watch the videos on Youtube of Hank Boomershine doing a presentation on the Cell, and you'll see that the Cell was his baby.  And I imagine Storm was already working on the Dimension before the Cell even hit the market.  The overlap is because what they're going for is a highly desirable ball motion.  It makes sense that the marketing might sound similar when it's the same parent company, even if two totally different R&D teams actually make the different balls.

And actually the description of the ball motion on the Buddies page makes it sound less like the Cell and more like a stronger Special Agent.  For comparison, my Cell hooks more than my Special Agent, but also starts a little earlier and is more continuous.

I am VERY interested in this ball the more I think about it.  Is the One core similar to this?  Two asym cores meshed together?

DIMENSION description in staff letter includes:

"Since the Dimension will be the newest ball in the Master Line, we felt it best suited to test this against a Special Agentâ„¢. When comparing the two we noticed very similar motion and roll characteristics through the front 30 feet of the lane. After that the Dimension produced a much quicker motion off the breakpoint. Not a skid/snap reaction but definitely a bold move as the ball encountered more friction in the mid-lanes.  This was a big benefit as the conditions broke down and we started moving inside and needed more recovery. Even though the breakpoint transition was quicker there was still continuation throughout the entire the hook/roll phase."

That reminds me of how my Gravity reacts Riggs.  It reads the mids much earlier than say, my Pyro or T-Road Pearl, but the backend reaction is just as epic and continuous.  I can't wait for this badboy to come out

Yeah, looks like they're replacing the Special Agent first before the original Agent pearl.  Or maybe they do like they did the Street Rods & bring em out at the same time?

I don't think so.  Storm has come out with pearls and solids as a pair before, but never with a high end ball as far as I know.
