the information at this time is limited, basically he's giving me enough rope to hang myself with. The pics you are seeing are the colors of the coming releases, the core numbers are medium rg with a medium rg diff,and a med inter. diff no numbers to be released at this time, as this could change before they actually go into production. The proposed release date is still unavailable hoping for mid July, due to plant production scheduling. As you know there are several other balls coming out being made in S.A. this will effect the timing of all releases, enouf said here are the pics!!!!!

The condition was "medium" is best I could describe.. I threw a few shots with the Solaris during practice and a few didn't quite get back... we had no opposition tonight so fancied throwing a few of our test balls!

I say that because the Awakening was a very medium pearl resin ball also.
The Epicenter is a very good looking ball.

Not at all... the Epicenter core is BRAND NEW, designed by SEISMIC, and cannot or has not been used by any other company. The Coverstock is a strong pearl, a sligtly modified version of the Solaris cover. Overall strength is a little more than the original Solaris but with a different roll and shape.
The core has "medium" numbers because we believe that length and reaction shape can be dictated by core numbers rather than just cover strength. The medium differential allows the ball to get down the lane easy without loosing much energy before the strong pearl cover grips the back end.
Hope that helps!

Ah! That should make it different.

Looking forward to seeing just what that core shape is.

The Desperado is still under our testing stage, so we will be finalising figures shortly. I've been testing this ball on some of our drier league conditions and on shots to the outside boards of the lane on those short tournament patterns. Carry from this ball has been nothing less than anything you would come to expect of a top line reactive.
Images of our new Insignia core will also be appearing at Bowl Expo, so a reminder to all Seismic followers to call by our booth and see all the new releases! If you can't be at Bowl Expo, don't worry we'll be getting all information out to everyone as soon as we can.

Great to meet all of those who called by our booth during Expo for a first hand look at all our releases. As Ryan as said we are working on perfecting the Desperado before production, to make sure it's THE ball that you're waiting for. With the interest we are doing our best to bring the scheduling of the Desperado forward and we'll have more details available over the coming weeks!

I was thinking the same thing on that orange ball going down the lane, it had ALOT of recovery. Must be something your testing, correct? What ever it was it looked good.

Had promised the video that was on display during Bowl Expo and we've now uploaded it on our return. The video features the Solaris Requiem on a heavy tournament pattern, Epicenter on medium league pattern, and Desperado on a shorter/drier pattern. There are also a few shots at the end of the original Solaris, and a few other projects in the pipeline!

what ball was used in the very last shot in this clip?

Post by: RyanRPS on July 01, 2009, 07:40:44 AM
Yes the orange ball is one we have been testing.. the videos shows the roll of the balls well, but they are tested on a few different conditions so to be honest its hard to make a direct comparison between the balls. For example, the reaction from the Epicenter will be about as strong as the yellow ball you seee tearing off the gutter!
the video quality on that video isnt great (was compressed alot for the expo display screen) so I will upload some bettershorter clips soon.
Cheers
Ryan

I think it is great that the Urethane doesn't hook much actually. Who cares how much everything hooks? every ball hooks a ton these days anyway.
URETHANE BABY!

The surface on the requiems were I believe 1000 no abralon on one, and 4000 Abralone on the other. The 4000 gives it a bit more length and increases the back end big time...
The finish on that Desperado I believe is about 4000 abralon, and is layed out around a 4.5-5" pin with a 60 degree mass bias...
And yes, we have used the brand new Insignia core in the Desperado to give premium roll in a urethane shell, but we wont be putting a premium price on it!!

The Desperado has been designed for shorter patterns rather than drier patterns, however the changes we are making to the coverstock will mean it is THE ball for all shorter and drier conditions...
