Had a lot of requests for this, so I put a video together.  Main difference is how they go through the pins, Intense Fire acts like a stronger symmetric ball with how continuous it is, and the Fused is more of a hook/set type reaction.

Yeah.  I get along with the NRP because it's not quite as strong on friction but they do have pretty well the same shape.  Fire almost reminds me more of a Hyroad Pearl type shape. 

Interesting - nice video Luke. So my NRP has more of the Fused hook/set motion and it can be a shape I battle with sometimes. I was dead set on the Fused as it's replacement down the line, but I may reconsider as I do better with the IF shape.

Careful how you throw around shape of Hy-Road Pearl to me. It's my absolute favorite shape and finding something above it with the exact same shape has become almost like a unicorn search for me. I may have thrown some similar and the colors throw me off a bit as well...but saying that can sell me on a ball haha.

The more I watch you review and especially the one comparing the Fused with it, the more I'm sealing the deal on getting it. I'm seeing the Hy-Road Pearl comparison a bit more more. With the HRP being my favorite ball, I'm down with about anything that shares its shape. I think I'll displace my Code Black with it. The Hyper Cell Fused would be the hook set motion I already have from my No Rules Pearl.
