Hopefully I will receive these this week. The Infrared should be stronger than the X and fill the hole between the Truth and the X. Given the core numbers, I think it is going to be stronger and definitely continue more than the X. The Inception Pearl has me intrigued. I love to throw my Dream Big Pearl and my Respects. Thinking the Inception Pearl will corner more and be better for tricky transitions. I won't know of course until i drill them. But so far each release has fit got a certain spot in the bag.
