Interesting?  Just another variation on the DC core

I really thought they would bring the executioner core back for this line.

I got this from my Dist. in Australia.

Looks like we'll be getting the first batch of these, like the Immortals.

Being a Staffer, and I'm not talking about the Test Staff, I should have mine around the middle of Jan.

well, that kind of sucks for me.  I have NEVER had any luck with big cores.  haven't really liked my AMB Solid, and my B/G centaur is all right but is still kind of hard to control.  Almost looks like they might be asymetrical cores as well, and I also have never had much luck with Asyms.  Looks like I may just have to buy myself a case of green and violet gargoyles, and stop getting stuff from visionary.  was really hoping they would keep a very simple core design like the gargoyles.  But who knows, I might get a great deal on one of these ogres and have to try it and end up loving it.  I guess we shall see in the future, but as for now... I'm dissapointed.  Hopefully a lot of people love them.  I really want to see visionary become one of the big names in the sport.

Anybody notice that this should be a medium to higher RG ball with a new cover the Eradicator?  Yes and a modified DC core.  The medium RG should get the ball somewhat down the lane and the cover strength....who knows???

As far the release date sheesh let's not go there.  

Just be happy Vis. came out with something that hopefully isn't a hook monster.

Hey, guys.

It looks to me as though they are going in the same direction as the Centaur line.  First, the core is very similar.  Second, they are going with a solid reactive cover wit the first release.  Third, the diff number is pretty low by todays standards, just higher than the .01 of the B/G Centaur.  The first Centaur to be released was the B/G which is a low diff, solid reactive.

As far as the Ogre, I am not too impressed by the color.  But, I look forward to its release and getting my hands on one.
