Up until recently, a REGULAR URETHANE ball has been a rarity, an oddity even, due to what was termed a "lack of interest" in them. Visionary was the seeming last bastion of the urethane ball with the Gargoyle model, but people looked at it more as a curiosity than an actual option.
A.M.F. had the Black Angle re-make, but it wasn't a performance ball, just a cheap, entry level alternative.
Visionary, being who they are, have persisted in having something like this in their line, even though the demand was limited, because their customers said they wanted one.
Then, last year, Lane1 jumped in with the Liberator. A good ball with a good cover. Filled a niche in their lineup that only it could have.
Then, this year, Storm has re-introduced a urethane model into their lineup with the Natural. And now Seismic is touting a "soon-to-be" model named Desperado that is slated to be an asymmetric urethane model.
If urethane is so "worthless" and "useless", why are so many companies trying to come out with new, updated urethane pieces? Could it be that some have discovered that urethane is a great alternative to reactives when the lanes get toasty?
Could all those Faball fans have been right?
