    Check the news releases on the company websites & facebook pages.

    Also look at the approved ball list on bowl.com, newly approved balls will show on there before they are released.

    Right handed Stroker, high track ,about 13 degree axis tilt. PAP is located 5 9/16” over 1 3/4” up.Speed ave. about 14 mph at the pins. Medium rev’s.High Game 300, High series 798

    Nailed it. I periodically check the approved list. Only thing is it doesn't show you what's international releases or state side. Heard there is a new Cell coming out on the RG lineup. Not sure what's coming out on the Storm side

    That's an odd question.

    I would ask, how can I keep from hearing about new releases? Because God forbid you ever buy something online or subscribe to a bowling ball manufacturer's Facebook page...you'll get an e-mail a day about the next greatest ball to ever exist in the history of man.

    Then, 3 months later...you'll start to get e-mails again...about the NEXT greatest ball release in the history of man...probably in the entire universe. And that ball you bought 3 months ago...forget about it, throw it in the trash, fire it out of a civil war cannon...it's junk. It will NEVER be able to compete against the NEW releases.

    THAT is how fast technology moves when it comes to designing a round object that we roll down a 60ft lane.

    Or, so you're meant to believe.

    And, if it's a Motiv new release...be sure to add 0.06 to the differential...just as a safety factor. I don't want anyone showing up at the USBC Open getting turned away.

    P.S. Also, a subscription to BTM also allows you to read up on some new releases and testing data, etc...
    In Bag: (: .) Zen Master Solid; (: .) Perfect Mindset; (: .) Brunswick Endeavor; (: .) Outer Limits Pearl; (: .) Ebonite Maxim
    USBC#: 8259-59071; USBC Sanctioned Average = 192; Lifetime Average = 172;
    Ball Speed: 14.7mph; Rev. Rate: 240rpm || High Game (sanc.) = 300 (268); High Series (sanc.) = 725 (720); Clean Games: 198

    Smokey this is not 'Nam', this is bowling. There are rules. Proud two-time winner of a bowlingboards.com weekly ball give-away!

    I have a buddy that does all the video work for storm/RG that I grew up with and he won't even tell me what's stateside and whats overseas. I really hope the Skid Cell comes stateside. I loved the Cell series, except the hyper cell...not a huge fan lol
