Based on the color scheme and RG/Diff, could this be the 2nd coming of the Defiant Soul?

Rinse-Repeat..

I was thinking that or the Sinister.

Definitely appears to be the 2nd coming of the Defiant Soul, loved that ball.... Excited!!!!

The Vision is stronger than the Sure Lock, which makes it the strongest ball I've ever thrown.  Whether that's a good thing for you or not, it's absolutely not remotely usable for me.  It's smoother than the PhysiX, but add like 3 or 4 boards . . it's just good old fashioned hook in a box. 

Pass.

Probably really really close on oil, within a board, two max, and more on the backend, so aggregate it's 1-2 boards more, so realistically it's a very small amount, won't be noticeable for most, but I've never struggled like this to get a ball down the lane, and when we're talking about comparisons to a ball like the Sure Lock, that much hook or even a smidge more is crazy.

Stronger than the Sure Lock in oil or on the backend?

Website is wrong, it's DEFINITELY 2000

What is the out of box surface? Roto Website says 4000 grit but Shlem quoted it as being 2000 grit during bowl expo live stream.

Of course this might be one of those balls that’s nuts for me but everyone else loves it like the Super Son!Q. I can’t throw that stupid thing but it looks good for most everyone else. I can’t get the Vision down the lane either so I guess that means it’ll be popular . .

Hmm interesting that this is the profile this cover projects. I expected different. Less traction in the mids and more friction response.
