Any word on upcoming new releases?
« on: June 04, 2018, 08:59:01 AM »
Any one have any ideas\picked up on info of what the new releases are going to be??
Bowl expo is still 13 days away. I figured by now Schlem would be dropping hints.

What are you hoping to see? Or take a guess on what we may see?

I’ll guess and say an Idol pearl.

Disappointed to say the least... Schelm did say he expected people wanted so much more but bigger and better is coming

Terrible that he admitted this. Who is going to want to buy these balls if they are aware of “better and bigger things to come”

Personally happy with the Halo, have held off on the Idol as I’m favouring asyms for strong cover balls right now, so I’m pleased to see this.

That said it’s very lacklustre overall from RG. There’s a stack of gaps left in the lineup after all the discontinued stuff.

I think the Halo will be a good ball. I also think it could have been released with better timing.

If we look across the higher side of the two companies lines (HP4, HP3, Premier, Master) the Intense and Son!Q are the only pearls. Yet we have Sure Lock, Code X, Phaze II, Idol, and now the Halo for solid smoother reactions. The Code Red and Intense Fire don't fit the bill either. The Hyper Cell Fused I guess acts like a strong pearl.

They could have done better timing these releases by evaluating their lines I guess is all I'm saying. Oh well saves me money for a longer time now haha.

Honestly, if it wasn't for the success of the INK, Idol, and Hyper Cell Fused (looking promising so far) Schlemer would be getting some HQ scrutiny. He's pushed out some shitty stuff this past year and a half.

I do have some interest in the winner as he said it's a step off of a marvel pearl... Sounds like another strong ball in the hp2 line

Per Schlem, he said the All Out was weaker than some of the Hustles so the Winner is supposed to be a step above the Hustles and step down from Idol

Hellsfire both company release decent balls through out the year. Why wait until the trade show to release stuff. I would think it would be better releasing throughout the year. IMO the trade show is so overrated bullshit hype.

I'm hoping it's smoother than the Son!Q. The Son!Q is better for house and long for me, but not the harder medium patterns.

The Winner is definitely giving me a SonIQ vibe too. It'll be interesting to see the performance

Because of the Son!Q price point and where it would have been in my arsenal, I couldn't bring myself to get it. Wanted it, but on lane performance didn't quite push me to it either. For HP2 price, if this new VTC-P18 Pearl Reactive is more midlane than R2S Pearl, I might try it out.

Honestly for the Show Off and now the Winner, I think if I was a PSO I would be thinking $169.99 + tax for drilled, inserts, etc. Thunder line goes for $179.99 + tax out the door in my area, so $10 separation fits my eye. With that said, the rest of them I think were $159.99 balls in that line.

To expand because why not. Here's how I see the lines if I was setting PS prices out the door. (All "+ tax")

Premier - $219.99
HP4 - $214.99
Master - $199.99
HP3 - $189.99
Signature - $179.99
Thunder - $174.99
HP2 - $164.99
Hot - $149.99
HP1 -  $139.99

The Soniq is overpriced by typical pricing standards, but I have to say, it’s easily the most versatile ball in my bag. It was a great ball for me on house shots, it was a great burn ball for me at nationals, and it’s been the only ball I’ve used every week of my summer sport shot league (rotating patterns every week). A symmetrical that can get downlane but still rev up strong is tough to find (unless you read staffer reviews lol). It’s almost like an asymmetric pearl without the issue of being too strong for the conditions 90% of the time. For me it’s been worth every penny, I’ve wasted a lot of money searching for the reaction I get out of it.

AND IT HITS LIKE A MACK TRUCK!!!111!!11!!!
