New everything on this bad boy, eh?  Seems like new cover, new core which seems to have low RG/high diff/medium MB diff.  Probably a new version of the VG, but with a bit more midlane will be my guess.  Which also probably means they're going to phase out the original Dimension

This is no Dimension i can tell you that...this ball is S-T-R-O-N-G STRONG...the amount of friction this thing creates downlane and in the oil is absolutely sick.  More info should be coming out in the coming weeks, including my videos.

sounds like a Bounty hunter competitor, something that gets used about once every 3 months maybe.

They should have came out with a new pearl to start out with a new line

Without knowing the axis pts of the player throwing it, the lay out looked very strong something along the lines of 4-4.5" pin placement and mb mark around 30-45*.

I thought it was very early and set up right in the hole. This ball will probably be phenominal on a flood.

The early vids of this ball are insane.  I think all it does is roll out lol.  The best I've seen it is that Japanese video the poster above me linked us to.  There it actually looks like it's reading the lane well.  Even Britton's video on the Scorpion pattern, to me that looks like it was rolling out there as well.  

The cover on this ball must have a magnet for lane surface - it grips and just keeps on going.
