The entire line has gotten really early and smooth. The two strongest shiny balls we have right now are the Astro and IQ Emerald, so yeah, Chad knows what needs to happen now. BUT there's also the tried and true stuff that isn't going anywhere like the Hyroad, Phaze 2, IQ Tour, etc., and the idea is that newer stuff is going to create more of a difference inside each individual line so they can allow the older stuff to breathe and exist in a space of its own instead of directly replacing and discontinuing stuff. This has all been set up. Phaze 3 replaces nothing, so nothing has to go. Next Premier line ball is definitely going to be a strong, flippier shiny ball. We're due for a hybrid, but the PhysiX is still going strong and it would be a real shame to release something too close to it and nudge it out, but we also have a pretty angular ball in the Astro. R3S Hybrid PhysiX or maybe even a new Lock, but whatever comes out won't be like anything else in the line. We'll get back to some stronger more angular stuff, but all the stuff that's already there will be able to stay there.
Plus there's also some consideration there in not stepping on the toes of the other company's stuff. Roto has some big wheels in their line right now with the MVP, the upcoming MVP Pearl, the Idol Pearl, and the Halo Pearl. They're paying attention, trust me.
