They are testing, now. It should be a High Performance.
There is room for one more Mission, we shall see.

I have the original. I know there has been the 2.0 and 250K since the original, but in my hands, they can't make a better ball than the original as I really LOVE that ball.

I wonder what color it will be? Yes, I know - color doesn't matter, but it's interesting to note that the original Mission is described as being the most-tested ball they've ever had, and that a portion of that was testing different colors. I think a nice sapphire blue pearl with the original Mission gold-and-white lettering scheme would be a good color choice for the next one.

it needs to be green

I'm in the process of trying to find out where I fit in the bowling world. I do not know my tech specs of my game, but it's all a learning process.

IMO, the latest Mission/250K have not had the sales of the first Mission nor the 2.0...
 
So unless Miss Kelly wins another tournament, I would think it wise to come out with a new
line...
 
Or maybe bring out another Mission in the red family...
 
After all, the Nano is similar in color to the first Virtual Gravity...
 
And we all know what a huge seller that was...
 
And unless you live in a cave, you should know by now all about the Nano...
 
Now as for the next release...
 
Maybe they could name it...

It should be green. Green hooks more, has more RGs, and carries better. I learned that from an Ebonite training video on customer service.
 
A new line would be the smart thing since they cannot promote a new "Mission Spare". New season new line for the year.


Be good, or be good at it.

 jls, you are probably right as I don't think the original can be beat for every day performance. No way would I ever trade mine for the 2.0 or 250K

I have all 3 and the original was a great ball for me but the 250K is my go-to ball now and it does not disappoint.

I have no "performance"  issue with the newest Mission...

 

However "sales" of the ball do not compare to the original...IMO...

COLOR DOES MATTER 100%
 
every ball made for the last 1-2 years has been made a specific color for a specific reason.
the amount of dye they have to put into a balls veneer (coverstock material) changes the texture ratings.
the original Mission was supposed to be a fleshy pale pink but it looked terrible and was unmarketable.
they used the next best tested color and it was the solid red.
the original color was supposed to be a teal color and it was about 4 boards less hook than the red color.
changing the color, changes the texture, which changes ball reaction.
its only the last few years that companies are putting money into research about color and its effect on reaction.
all this info is from Mr. Ed Gallagher, Ebonite Brand Manager (the bossman himself)
 
cheers, hope this helps...

Can they, or any company for that matter, do any better than the original Mission? I pretty much throw all Storm products and believe them to be the best company out there, but I have to admit that they have yet to produce a ball to match the original Mission for me. It has that perfect blend of mild front end, controlled midlane, and angular backend reaction without being a true heavy, medium, or light oil ball but having the characteristics of all three. Tweaking this ball in any way would make it a condition specific ball and making it stronger is a waste with the lack of oil out there in most houses today.
