You missed the heat stroke! Sounds like they're going with a theme for the new line...

Sounds like a sun type theme. Incinerate, Solar Flare, Heat Stroke.

Heat Stroke looks really good, almost like a pearl King Cobra. Can't wait for that one. Solar Flare looks pretty good too.

Well it has no Ti (ceramic) centerpiece, but that's the closest to the Messenger core since the Tropical Heat!

Looks like the same core that was used in the Raw Profit/Profit back in 2010.

Same shape, slightly higher RG and slightly lower differential and different, weaker coverstock - could be very different ball reaction.

Visually, the Heat Stroke is somewhat similar to the Awakening. 2.49 RG vs 2.553 (Awakening) and .033 Diff vs. .039 (Awakening). Not 100% positive, but I believe the Awakening had S55 as well. Just my 2 cents.
