The RI is a pearl ball - it has very fine swirls which make it look like a solid.
For new balls, I'd also expect a new particle ball in the Inferno line, being it a pearl or a solid. Additionally, I'd expect a successor for the UI with a more modern Activator coverstock generation (Activator Advance solid in 800 grit) to replace the UI, because the SZ has taken its place.
Furthermore, there are 2 gaps in the line-up: without the Slay/R, there is still some space for a performance ball for dry conditions. The Punisher can be too itchy on such turf, and the Power Grooves are not to everybody's taste.
A bigger opportunity is even between the Punisher and the SI: something for medium conditions with more length and snap than the Rampage, maybe with a symmetric core. Performance like the Command Zone ARC or the Fuze Igniter would be nice to see, maybe with a harder version of Acitivator (but not the stuff on the ZC Red Pin) or some PK18 light load particle pearl in a high gloss finish?
