Before I saw video, I was taking the side that it would not be stronger than the Sure Lock. My opinion has not changed. It appears to be a ball that is about reading the lanes the right way front to back on fresh conditions. Plenty of balls cover more boards and look flashy, but not many can beat the true read that the Catalyst series has flashed. The cover tech will just improve durability and performance (to prevent issues seen on heavier oil patterns). Either way, I'm really excited for this ball.
