R2X solid reactive, 2000-grit Abralon. Color like the special agent (more purple). The new core look like a modify shape-lock.

The Fire Line is NOT done....The Rapid Fire Pearl is on the way to go with the Rapid Fire. The Spitfire and Surefire are being taken out of the line though.
As far as the "true dry lanes ball" goes....i think the problem is that people dont search for the oil on the lane often enough ( my opinion ). Most people tend to want to camp out in one spot. Everybody keeps begging for a Urethane ball or a re-make with an old cover....but what you dont realize is that they just wont sell good enough. You guys are in the minority of looking for that ball reaction. 90% of todays bowling population is looking for more hook,not less. My reccommendation is to either learn how to get deeper on the lane, or learn how to adjust hand/speed positions well enough to use existing product lines. I still use a Jolt Pearl when neccessary ( accu-tread ), but i havent found a need for anything weaker than that. Besides, on todays oils the older covers just dont work as well in general. I know there will be 50 people say " but my Trauma Recovery still works great". Again, these are in general comments and not true for everybody

That is one heck of a line-up. As much as I would like to see Spit Fire and Sure Fire stay, that looks great. I like the direction Storm is going.

I defintely agree with this, unless the lane is completely stripped, there will be a way to get it down to a reasonable break point, especially on a THS.

The Dimension is a must with the success of the Cell, what Storm staffer was not in R&D's ear saying "I WANT THAT LOOK!" At least I have a Fired Up sitting in the basement, blank and ready to replace the one I am throwing now.

Personally I would love to see something akin to the Tour Power back. Low RG and Low diff isn't something you see much of now, all the low RG balls are high diff.

As far as the dry lanes ball comments....i'm not saying that certain people and certain centers dont have a need for a Urethane ball, but no distributor would touch them...they just wont sell domestically anymore. Its strictly a supply and demand issue folks. Without a TON of demand, there is no need for a supply

So is the Master Line is going assym?
This was my first thought as well. I was planning on buying another Special Agent before they go away (just ended one league at 239 with the Special). Now, I'm hoping the new ball is a low RG symmetric with the R2X solid. That would be extra yummy. If it's based on the shape-lock core, wouldn't it be too similar to the Attitude?

Weight RG Diff
16# 2.49 0.049
15# 2.51 0.048
14# 2.55 0.045
This is one of the lowest diff cores used in the master line for a long time. With a slightly lower diff and judging how the cover works for the Gravity, I would guess the Dimension series will be slightly smoother than the Agents. However the slight increase in RGs will have the ball storing energy a bit longer, so its all going to come down to how the R2X performs in this solid version.
I can't wait to get my hands on this one!

Something like the Cell then? Numbers look close
