Sterner was using the Fanatic BTU.Rash was throwing some kind of ball I didn't recognize had a green pin like the Fortera series.Was a burnt orange and purple best I could tell.

watched the japan show rash had a dv8 vandal destroy and sterner black phantom

June or July? You're kidding right

These companies are releasing faster and faster. There will be something announced in March/early April with a may release date at the latest.

Storms getting just as bad...

Nah, it's been like that the past couple of years. I think the release schedules have pretty much stabilized now. Brunswick's is slightly different than that of the DV8 and Radical brands. The Quantums released on 11/1/2016 while the True Nirvana and Fantastic SS release on 2/7/2017. That's just over 3 months. So going three months after the last date for the next batch would put it in June around the same time that the Rhinos dropped last year. Probably shouldn't have went as far as to mention July, but I feel good about the June predicition.

Thanks for the clarification on the ball Sterner used.

As for the new Quantums, my understanding is the Quantum series is their own line, separate of the Vintage series, etc.

They were the start of the Pro Performance category, but I meant it as more like there really isn't any more time left for Brunswick to get a new Vintage ball out this season. Not if the next new batch of unknown releases are dropping in June which is pretty much the next bowling season. And since the Quantums are a ball that's being brought back I think they're hit their quota for that mold this year.

Thanks for the correction.

your welcome..they televised on extra frame.

Phil said in his webcast today new balls in April. Told ya.

For Radical, not Brunswick. In particular I think he was talking about a ball that might compare to the Hy-Road and Gamebreaker 2 lines so that should be pretty interesting.

Right on. But the dv8/radical releases are anounced within a week or two of Brunswick's, typically, if not all at the same time.

The pitbull/vandal/diva style and cash Xeno pearl were just announced at the new year.

^^^ Speculation

Now it is for everyone else.

So no vintage line release this year? The last 3 have been in feb....... The quantums are in the pro performance line....or are the quantums the vintage release? If so, why wouldnt they be put in the vintag line?   I pray and pray for the absolute inferno or vapor zone to hit the vintage line.
