Only rumors... my personal favorites:
- New asymmetrical Zone, with a modified Phantom core thing inside. No idea about coverstock.
- Solid Power Groove, polished.
- Potential replacement for Punisher in BVP line

I am sure we will see (at least) a high performance pearl piece for medium conditions, since the Infernos are about to cease (e. g. Smokin').

But, again, only rumors and guesstimates

There will be 2 new coverstocks for sure. I know someone who bowls with the Brunswick R&D engineer. should be pretty sweet!

We talked to Brunswick about remaking the Black Phantom with a reactive coverstock, and we weren't allow because that is a core they didn't want to release for private label. We did get a Original Blue Phantom to test a theory, and this ball was marked on the Z-Axis, just like the Omega, and with the correct mass bias marking, all the original Phantom's and Omega's would be interesting to see with today's coverstocks.

With all of today's Asymmetrical Layouts, it would be interesting to see all the old Asymmetrical balls brought back.
