They just came out with the IQ's and fireroad. Not for a few months will staff members get the opportunity to get their hands on it. Be patient. Eventually one of the staffers or storm reps will put out more info. Until then we have no choice but to sit and wait.
Lol! The reason you got 350 views is because its a brand new ball and i guess we figured you had info and werent asking a question.

**Update**

It will be the pearlized Vivid at 4000 abralon. Should be a nice addition for those who struggle to get the Vivid downlane.

******Now back to your regularly scheduled programs******* 8)

Without having privvy yet to any "inside" info, I would say it is a pearlized Vivid with a 4000 surface instead of the factory 1500 reacta-shine.

I myself have always thought the VG Nano Pearl would have been a big mover if Storm had released it at 4000 instead of polished. The masses (non BR readers) seem to not touch surfaces but throw balls at box finish. The ones who did think the Nano Pearl was too squirty, usually loved it when I knocked the shine down on it.

I think the tour success of the Critical Theory has gotten the product guys over at Storm / Roto to be a bit more open to the idea of a 4000 factory finish pearl ball.

True statement.  I too do not throw a ball in its oob condition.

Exactly excessive! I honestly thought the Nano Pearl was one of the biggest turds I had even thrown until I knocked the shine off. Now you can barely pry that ball away from me.

Interesting that its a new cover, not the nano pearl's cover.

I went to our SVP and he said it was coming. I didn't know about the cover being different. When we get more details, I will be glad to forward.

Looks intriguing though. Might hold off on putting holes in my Defiant Edge to see where this one goes first.

Since the rg and cover finish is different you'll definitely see a different reaction.
