Cool, looking forward to picking up one of these once released! I see they went with a much stronger hybrid cover than the Train and gave it an A finish over the E found on the Train and the Freight Train. I think I guessed right when I figured the next release would be called the Bullet Train! lol

Looks like they might have removed the block that they added to the Freight Train to lower the diff?

I'm surprised that there is no energy block on this core. Intended to be smoother vs. flippy? The ball looks ultra rolly in the midlane. Any idea on the release date?

9 January '13 release date. Didn't see anytihng on the ball page for it, but accidentally moved my mouse over the ad on the home page and a tool tip came up with the release date. Answered my own question.

It does appear they weakened the core a bit being that it's listed having a lower flare potential of 4-5" which is more to the medium side compared to most of today's high performance balls. The last time 900 Global went with a strong cover and weaker core was the Cobra SE and look how successful that ball was. On a lighter note, anyone besides me wonder why 900 Global doesn't have a lefty ball tester in their ball reaction videos? Just my observation...being left-handed! lol

Seems a little to close to the original train? A little longer with slightly stronger cover?  Seems this could be accomplished with layouts and surface on the original.
