Does anyone know if Storm is bringing out a new ball in the Premier Line?

I'm hoping the Lock will be as good as the Virtual Gravity. Is the Virtual Gravity the most successful ball Storm produced ? Just curious. Thx

Doubt it, they're crazy for not remaking it...

A few online retails have the Lock priced at $169.95. Wonder what price point becomes cost prohibitive for the new high end Storm stuff.

I'm surprised it didn't go higher...Roto crept up too

You know what they say...a product is only worth what people are willing to pay :)  As long as people keep scooping up the new Storm releases regardless of price Storm will squeeze every bit they can out of their customers.  Pricing won't change until inventory exceeds demand, and then Storm will have to decide if they want to hold pricing, slightly reduce pricing, or cut production of high-end equipment and realign with actual demand at higher prices.

You can't solely put the blame on Storm for pricing. It will go up all across the boards with every company because the economy continues to be failing everywhere.

Supply and demand, yes. When inventory exceeds demand, prices go down.

But you have to sit and wonder that each bowler wields multiple bowling balls, and that the market may be flooded... then maybe they'll start making bowling balls that only last a few sets? lol

Idk...the problem I have is that each release is certainly not better than the line before, yet the price is increasing. 

That VG era was when the cell was originally out...hyroad too...it was all exceptional equipment.  Idk why we can't get 'near perfection' like that again...

Everybody is crazy to think that this lock is better than the VG..the invasion wasn't, vivid wasn't, the sync wasn't,  the zero gravity wasnt, crux wasn't..I'll pay 185 for a VG lol

How much of this is what bowlers want have changed? I'm pretty sure if you rereleased the VG tomorrow as something else everyone would say it didn't hook enough or lacked continuation.

The VG's, Cells, and Hyroad were terrific balls. I'm just saying others have caught up to some extent not that Storms putting out junk. Now the fact that we have to release every ball with a different surface and/or solid/pearl/hybrid and act like we reinvented the wheel that sticks in my crawl.

crux line probably not a good seller.  I like the original crux shine and the pearl crux is a turd. I liked the zero gravity and gravity shift wasn't too bad. Virtual gravity was good shined. As for the rest vivid, byte didn't like

If they re-released the VG I would buy 2; hell I would even buy a VG Nano if that was re-released.

For the record: huge fan of the invasion and vivid, and kinda liked the sync.

I wonder about the lock, visually I feel a re-represenation of the critical theory...I hope its their intent!

Waiting for a video. Cmon storm!
