Check out 1:06 in this video. See what I see in the background?!
Can't be a bad sign, right?
-
Good eye
-
Could be, but considering they produce them in Utah... ain't saying a whole lot. But really good eye. I watched this early and missed the heck out of it. lol!
-
I like what I see!
Might have to save up the pennies to buy a 3rd new ball in less than a year!
-
Is anyone else getting the reign on...NOW because of this video? I though it was very good, even though there wasnt too 'unknown' or 'new' info present. I really like this ball now...man...I have too many...Aaaahh

Nope, not a fan of the Reign line. Tried the Reign and Reign of Fire. They weren't bad equipment just never really could carry all that well with them. The Reign of fire did okay for me after the 3rd redrill with a fairly weak layout and a 2000 abralon polish.

looks like someone else is making solid bowling balls like lane masters did.wow how long did that take.bigger weight block less cover material.save expenses.but will the balls be cheaper.i will wonder
-
Hmm I have never ever tried the reign line. Almost did with the supreme...i cant remember why I didn't. I want to say the 2nd dimension came out around then and I went for that. I feel that with the reign on if I dont like the OOB I can polish it as a back up plan and still have a great ball.

Visionary use a very limited core/filler material on most of their bowling ball. That all started when the Wonder family had Faball Hammer before selling to Ebonite International. That's how you get the unique sound when the ball hits the pins. I really liked the Reign Supreme!
-
The CAM weightblock looks pretty good.
-
I don't have a lot of experience so take this for what it's worth, but when I went to the storm/roto demo a month and a half ago, I liked the reign on the best of all of them. sync was number 2. Granted I was having issues with span that day, but from what I was able to do, that one just reacted the best to me. Nice and predictable with great carry.
Not very scientific, but I'm looking forward to Tuesday.
-
Buddy of mine has had the Reign On for about a month now and watching his go down the lane is the major reason I'll have one. maybe 2, lol.

Ok, I give. What are you guys seeing at the 1:06 mark in the video?
-
At the 1:06 mark there is a iq tour hybrid on the rack. It the gold and blue ball.
-
Thanks, wasn't sure what I should be looking for.

Did you see my comment response on Pete Weber's Facebook page? :) I mentioned seeing this after he posted that video.
I also mentioned that that same ball rack has a red/black solid ball we haven't heard of yet...
-
Red/Black solid is probably the Rumble. Especially since it was sitting beside the Deranged.

I definitely saw the IQ label and the blue/gold definitely means it's the Fusion.
-

I don't know, all the Rumbles that I've seen have been a lot more orange than that ball, definitely red on that one...maybe I guess.

Uh... Sync? Red, Black and Orange... Lack of logos could mean it was a test ball or is just sitting at the right angle to hide the logos.
-
I thought about that too, but this one looks only black/red. Like you said, no logos, so we'll probably never know, but it just doesn't look like anything current from storm/Roto to me.
-
Very likely no two monitors/displays are set the same around here... My eyes see the darkest areas as black, the next lighter areas as red, and the lightest and brightest areas as orange.
*shrug*

I thought the same thing. I had a Supreme and it was my favorite ball of all time. Now I have a Roto Berserk, so there might be too much overlap with the Reign On. I will tell you that I love the Berserk. Maybe it's just the 4000 surface hybrids.
-
I have a #15 Reign and a #14 Reign Supreme. I love the Reign and find the Supreme to be less useful. The #14 CAM core has a 2.61 RG. For me that super high RG keeps the ball from changing directions hard enough to be effective, unless the backends are really crisp. The #15 Reign has a very sharp backend for me and is really effective in games 3-6.
The Reign On is essentially the Supreme, just a different color and smell.
