Hi Jake:
Hope you're comparing apples to apples in a sense, because Roto Grip's prices to me seem more than reasonable. The Epic line does not seem out of line with any other company's high performance line, and the planet series is by far the greatest value going right now. The Saga came out a little over a year ago I'm thinking, don't have the exact month, but it's been over a year, and it's a fantastic ball, used it in the first two games of my 800 this past winter season.
