So was the Snap Lock at first. I feel pretty good predicting that this, or something extremely similar, will be Storm's Premier line release in January of 2017. It fits too perfectly with the Lock and Snap Lock not to be.

if it is well received, or if there is demand in the US I would bet that we get a solid lock.

however, that might also depend on the sales performance of the Alpha Crux.  Alpha Crux and a solid lock (nano or otherwise) would probably be direct competitors.

With as many balls as they're releasing now (if the trend of three a season in the high-end category continues) they're going to run into a lot of their own product cannibalising itself. It seems like a lot of companies are starting to release new stuff more often. I'm not sure if I like that strategy for the ball companies but on our end it sure fills the closeout racks at the local pro shops a lot sooner. :D

With the Snap Lock coming out in the summer their January release won't be a pearl, so that leaves a hybrid or a solid. A hybrid competes with the Lock while a solid competes with an Alpha Crux. Obviously the latter is the newest by about 6 months so it makes sense that they might go with a hybrid in a new line first then maybe the Nano Lock in March (again, if the current timeline of releasing new balls continues).

First off, theres a couple of non storm brands cannabilising the clearance market for sure. There ain't anything 15lb storm/Roto clearance that sits for long.  From the other guys,  you can find the entire line of a few in clearance, and their sister brands... And sometimes the entire line from the previous year lol.  I'm not going to say any names cuz they will get all sh!tty over it but it's true.  Storm can do what they want. People actually BUY their stuff!

2nd...the snap was probably rushed over due to its feedback and success. A pearl lock was in the works, but this probably took its place.
In the bag [Infinite Physix, Volatility Torque, Night Road, Phaze III, Burner Solid, Hustle AU]
*Now Testing* IQ Ruby, Renevant, another IQ Tour solid

Please don't deviate from the topic with these radical tangents.  And besides, it doesn't take a mastermind to figure out who you are talking about.
Current bag:
DV8 Turmoil 2 Pearl
Radical Squatch hybrid

Hammer Black Widow Gold
DV8 Vandal
DV8 Creed Rebellion
