From what I have read on the Urethane Ogre it's slated to be a solid urethane along the lines of the Pink Hammer.

The Natural will probably be a more porous urethane and handle more oil.

Well hmmm I maybe wrong. I know it's suppose to have a similar reaction to a pink hammer but I thought it was a pearlized urethane. It maybe like the glowing amulet type cover, without the glow...

To me, the Furious is almost a re-release of the Special Agent, and that's a good thing...

I'm thinking I might pick up all three and have a nice little arsenal,looks like it would make a good set up for heavy,med and light oil.I would drill them all the same too.

Not even close, huge difference between the Turbine Core and EMC core.

Correct,

The Furious is going to be an update to the Street Rod Solid, as the Fast is an update to the Street Rod Pearl..Not anywhere in the same strength region (core or cover) as the Special Agent..

The 2 new Tropical Storms are coming out May 28th. The other 4 are coming out June 25th. the Fast & Furious are nothing more than the Street Rod and Street Rod Pearl with new and stronger coverstocks!

From Storm's web site:

With today's changing oils and conditioners, we felt it was time to upgrade the tire that touches the lane

Same thing they did between the Fired Up line and the Rapid Fire line.  With coverstock upgrades those balls were pretty dramatically different.  I don't think you're going to see just the same old Street Rod motion out of this one - especially the solid.

Check them out for yourself at the consumer Open Houses that are listed here:

I'm confused about how the Furious wouldn't be similar to the Special Agent.  Same cover, but different core, so wouldn't overall strength be similar but with slightly different shapes?  Of course, it's possible some modifications could have been made to alter it a bit.

Not quite sure how I feel about the Fast and Furious, as long as the T-Roads are around it seems kind of pointless.  Although, probably a little weaker and at a price point you really can't beat for the performance.  Can't wait to see them in action.

And I wonder what the Reign is going to be like.

The Special Agent had a much lower RG, plus a higher differential.  Those two factors alone, ignoring just the natural rolling tendancies of different cores, will greatly alter ball reaction.  The T-Road Solid and Special Agent both have the R2S solid coverstock, but have very different reactions, even when at the same grit level, for example.
