Wow, so now the upper end Storm stuff gets an internet price of $175! I guess that's the price you pay for a factory running full tilt.

Looks like the site is temporarily down. But based on the OP's description. I will be passing on the Idol because I definitely can't use a ball with that strong of a cover.

Code X..very interested. Sour taste from the Code Red but Code Black is one of my favorites. So what'll this one be?..

Edit: Just saw it on buddies...they couldn't have chosen better colors for the Code X...dang it  ;)

The code red is terrific ball when the lanes are blended. If you bowl on mostly House I can see why you don’t like it.

Yeah unfortunately even a lot of the local tournaments are only putting out modified house.

So it's the bottom half of the daredevil core, with the top of the black ops core....

Hotcell is produced at 900g

Now this...

I think we can confirm that they are really using both facilities to crank out balls now...

And I was hoping for the green one on the approved list, not the maroon.

We don't talk about the Hyroad Solid.  Only ball ever to have R2S solid on it and suck.  R2S Solid that's on the IQ Tour Solid, Torrent, Rocket Ship, etc . . that's what we're talking about. 

Quote from: jkirkerx on February 09, 2018, 03:20:56 PM
Wasn't the R2S solid on the Hyroad Solid?

I did say I would consider a solid version of the Code Red over the Intense.
Maybe this is what I was looking for in my Hyper Cell post.

Don't know about this Idol ball. I wonder who comes up with these names. Perhaps Neutrino Particle would of been better.
