Title: Next Master Line release?
Post by: AlonzoHarris on June 03, 2016, 07:51:58 PM
Based on the trend, Premier got a Pearl and Thunder got a Solid, Master not only needs a Hybrid but it makes sense. Thoughts or insight anyone?

Phaze solid would be my guess.

With so many mixed reviews on the Phaze, I wondered if they would continue with that core. I guess it could pair even better with a Solid or Hybrid cover.

Looks like the Optimus Solid and IQ Tour 30 have reached their end based on the LTD Qty sales for the etailers. The Master line could get real interesting this year and early next   ;D

Side note: Bowl Expo predictions based on gaps

Storm - Master line: Hybrid or Solid
RG- HP2:Solid or Hybrid, HP4: Pearl or Hybrid
Motiv- Med/Hvy: Hybrid, Heavy: Solid

Phaze had mixed reviews because it's not skid snap like everything else on the market, but it's definitely a good ball and a good core.  I actually took mine down to 1000 and use it as I would use a solid.  Instead of releasing one "sequel" right after another, they seem to be mixing it up now.  I wouldn't be surprised to see an Optimus Hybrid before we see the Phaze Solid.

I would love to see an Optimus Hybrid

Maybe they will bring the Dark Phaze stateside, its a hybrid but I think its 1500 grit polished.

We're so close. Storm originally posted an image on Facebook showing dates 26-30 for Facebook live. Now it's 29-30. They're killing me.

yeah idk...

1500 grit polish phaze -not well recept ed

they won't release a very similar covered version in the dark phaze.

they will go with a sanded cover. 

expect a 3000grit sanded hyrbid or a 2000 or 4000 grit solid...

that's if they don't trash the core all together!

So I'm seeing Street Fight, Main Fight, and IQ Tour Rising on the approved list. What's the word on them?

IQ Tour Rising is already on the overseas side of Storm.  The Fights I am thinking one overseas and one stateside.

The iq rising would be great but also hilarious because of the hoarding and prices they are being thrown around for on Facebook for nothing more then the "I have it and you don't" mentality

I think both the nano lock and rising IQ are coming..

someone said the rising will never make it over because it's the exact same as the fusion and storm wouldn't put out 2 balls so close to each other

It's been done many times by Storm although they never seem to be identical.
If they're going to bring a ball back, I'd hope for the Marvel Pearl.

R2X solid on the phaze core. Calling it now!
Title: Re: Next Master Line release?
Post by: AlonzoHarris on June 28, 2016, 05:12:28 PM
Seems like almost everything is a solid this release time across all the brands.

Fine by me. I've always liked solid covers better

If they ever put R4S on a STRONG core, Storm will have THE oil monster. My Fight is pretty strong in the oil OOB and it's all cover strength. That core pushes almost too far down the lane for me, but that super strong cover picks up hard off the spot. I couldn't imagine it on a strong assymetric or the core from the Marvel series.

Coming to the end of the expo now and Storm brought out an oven mitt and a new website that looks great but hopefully runs a lot better than the current one.

Really hoping we get a Master line ball announced today.

Those specs are basically exactly what I was hoping to see too even though I didn't figure the next Master line stateside would be a pearl with the Phaze so recent.
Title: Re: Next Master Line release?
Post by: 2handedrook12 on July 02, 2016, 04:47:37 AM
To me the Phaze doesn't even count because the cover is so different from ERG, R2S, R2X, etc. I'd still guess a solid is on the way because the Optimus Solid wasn't quite a hit. Just seems like a gaping hole yet to be patched. I'm a bit disappointed nothing was announced.
