Victory Road's new Inverted Fe3 thunder core is the same core that storm used in the WAR that was a International release a few months ago, clearly different in looks from the Hyroad and TRoad core.

I would say that the Victory is more angular than the Reign if both drilled the same.  My t-road pearl is drilled the same as my reign and the t road pearl for me is more angular with the reign being more rolly

I mean I like what I see and the numbers look good higher eg and lower diff than a hyroad. But the different is lower on a reign. Should make a very clean and angular move. Maybe closer to the hockey stick motion storm is known for. Still very excited. Wonder how it will match up with a hyraload

The Victory Road's core is inverted, so does that mean it will be a smoother overall reaction? This is similar to what Storm did with the Spitfire, which is the inverted core of the Fired Up. This gave the Spitfire a smoother and earlier read than the Fired Up which was long and angular. So possibly the Victory Road is an earlier and smoother version of the Hyroad?

the description on bowling.com is

and

With the next Prodigy- the Marvel, the intent is to create a motion that is more aggressive, especially in oil, than the original version. Looking at the success of the original Virtual Gravityâ„¢, it‟s clear that bowlers love to see a strong midlane roll that doesn‟t quit on the backend, so that is our goal!

so im guessing the marvel will be the next prodigy

very astute....Marvel is just a solid version of the prodigy. Makes little sense to me seeing as the Prodigy was a sanded pearl that rolled a lot like a solid. Marvel will probably be earlier and stronger in the oil.

 Victory road is a mid-to-high RG pearl, look for long with a strong late snap.
