Hmm.. sounds like a lot of great bowling balls. Got any information on Brunswick's new stuff (Ringer Solid, Melee Cross, and Fortera Exile), Storm's (Hy Road Solid and Optimus), or Roto Grip's 5 new bowling balls?
Here goes:
The Blue Ringer is an ideal benchmark ball featuring a medium rg and a smooth reaction. Depending on how it's drilled, it can also be a good choice for medium length sport shots. I had a very good look with it on the 40' Sunset Strip Kegel pattern in a challenge shot league.
The Melee Cross is slightly longer and stronger than the original Melee. It's the ball that Sean Rash used to win the 34' Wolf Championship where he also shot 300 in the first match.
The Fortera Exile is an unusual ball for Brunswick, featuring an angular backend reaction. Walter Ray used it to win the Senior Masters. Just looking at the reaction, you'd think that the ball was made in Utah.
The Hyroad Solid is a solid reactive covered version of the original Hyroad which is the ball that has lasted longer than any other in Storm's line. It's kind of ironic the there are now both pearl and solid versions of the Hyroad, as the "Hy" in Hyroad originally indicated that it featured a hybrid cover.
The Optimus is an aggressive reacting ball from Storm. If you threw the Optimus and the Fortera Exile next to each other, you would see a very similar reaction.
whats this 500, 500, 500 stuff related to surface???? (hammer balls???)Originally Posted by Stormed1

I am excited to see what roto grip is bringing out. Just what I need more choices when I decide to add that next piece. Lol 😎
they just recently released a few balls and as of yet there is nothing listed on thier website about anything else coming out
USBC #9327-540
In the Bag: Storm IQ Tour Fusion, Brunswick Mastermind Genisu, Roto Grip Asylum and Ebonite Maxim
Final Book Averages for Fall:192 Current averages in Summer: PBA 182, Tuesday 202, Thursday 205
What did you see them recently release? I have seen it on other sites that they are bringing 5 new balls out.
The thing with Roto grip is I have looked on the approved ball list and I'm not seeing anything that has been tested and approved at this time. So what they have to say has lil traction till the balls are tested and pass. The ok will always come out 3-4 months before WWRD. A lot can change in that time. So let's say they tell you what's coming out. Then they send it in for usbc testing your still looking at a mid fall to winter release.
I wasn't aware they were not on the approved list the person that said that usually has good info apparently he's jumping the gun. Thanks for the info.
