I had the same initial reaction to R2S . . but it's the cleanest and quickest pearl cover in the lineup right now, and with the PhysiX having so much torque down lane, R2S Pearl IS the smartest cover to provide both a complimentary and familiar reaction with the Astro and the OG.  The hipster in me wanted NRG Pearl, but backing up and looking at the facts, this was the best choice across the board, especially for people still lamenting the loss of the Code Black. 

You lost me though with an asym ball with an .053 diff and a .017 int diff fighting for a spot in the bag with sym ball with a .029 diff . . I'm gonna have to process that and get back to you . .

So with R2S, is this ball going to sit under the Intense Fire? Feels like this and the IQ emerald will be fighting for the same spot in the bag.

I wish they had stuck with Nano for the Physix line, they have R2S coming out their ears lately.

Exactly where my mind went as I reserve my Code Black for broken sport patterns, because I'm yet to find something that fits the spot as well it does. Clean yet midlane read from the core.

I thought the Astro Physix was Nano Pearl as well. I have 2 of the OG Physix, not sure if I need a 3rd one. I was going to pickup a Idol Pearl or something symmetric for house shots to compliment my Idol Purple. Maybe if that Astro is sort of pink widow or scandal pearl like, I'll would consider it. Or the IQ Tour Emerald, sort of regret selling my IQ Nano.

I have a Code Red that I think might be similar to the Astro.

Speaking of Idol Pearl, still don't like it?
