Title: Epic & Mercury

Nice Core tweaks on these two.  The Epic core is something else.  Look at the 2005 product catalog for more info.

Do I sense an entry level planet series coming from Roto-Grip now?  They are starting at the first planet from the sun.  Well sort of, they do have that overseas Globe ball. Hmm...

Any idea when we might see the Epic come out...I was gonna buy a RS-X this week but I think I am gonna hold off and get the Epic.

I believe July 31st is the release date on the Epic. I still would get the RSX though... Awesome Ball!!!!

the word from rotogrip about the wildly popular globe ball: there is 1 ditributor in japan that buys 400 at a time. the spare tire is flying out of the factory with no slowing down. so there is no reason to bring out another spare ball.

That's too easy.  Doesn't Faith no More have an amazing song of the same name? Could be a cool video.  Is there any word on a polished version of the Epic?

We have done 5 different Cyclotron cores.  The EPIC line will be all new.  This new weight block has a lot of different possibilities.  We won't be doing too much with that weight block anymore.  

The EPIC was actually a re-creation of our past asymmetrical cores.  The concave back of the Maximus core was from the Assault line.  Then if you look at the outsides of the core we actually used the Cyclotron ring technology from our Fuels and Oracles.  

Thanks,

I love the look of the Epic core.  Although I do have to say that it does look pretty "Stormesque"

It's not Stormesque if they used the Assault and Fuel cores for their inspiration ?!?

For those so inclined to do the music video - and who want to review the "Mercury" - there's a good, mellow Ocean Blue song called "Mercury" on their Cerulean album.

I will definately be throwing the Epic when I get back on my feet. That ball looks like a good fit for me.
