I know it's early for the IF release, but anyone put the 3 up head to head? Just curious in the shape differences and length differences they seen out the 3.

I would have the NRP as the earliest and rolliest, Intense Fire the most continuous, the Code Black the cleanest and hardest off the pattern.

Why Alonzo, are you thinking about getting the Intense Fire?
Sure is pretty. Suppose to be Storms first 5 color ball.
I finally got use to my Intense and putting up high scores with it. But I bought the HCF and the Intense Fire seems like a close duplicate to me.
I took the HCF out of my league bag and started a sport shot bag with it, and added that Hot Cell I bought. Just need that Surelock now.
There are just too many good balls on the market today.
Yeah playing around with the idea of adding it for the upcoming season.

I threw my PSOs Intense Fire.
I didn't have high hopes for it because I hated my Intense. For me, that ball transitioned so quickly, it pretty much hook/stopped. Surface didn't matter, lane conditions didn't matter, it's just what it did. Occasionally that reaction played, and when it did, I had a great look (the ball actually paid for itself the day I bought it at a tournament). But 95% of the time, it was a totally useless spot in the bag.
The Intense Fire feels like my NRP to me. It's a bit longer, but has the same chug. I didn't see it as continuous, i saw it as the reaction you'd stereotypically expect from polishing a strong solid asymmetrical. It chugs and then it drives.
Personally, I love chuggy asyms, so that's a compliment from me. I don't feel the need to get it since I already have the NRP in the chuggy asym role, but it would be my choice to replace the NRP if I was in the market.

I wonder how close Amped Pearl and R3S Hybrid are.
