Premier Line: Get rid of Rad-X core. The Locks and I haven't gotten along. Big thing with them is they're fun to throw, but too jerky on friction and ultimately there are better options. Move in, too high, move in, too high, move in, then all the sudden you get roll out or it won't come up the hill. Codes are great, especially the Red, but covers are a bit too weak when you get on heavier volumes.
Wish: Prodigy/Solid Code. Prodigy is one of my favorites of all time, that and the Shock Trauma may be my favorite upper line balls Storm has made. X-Factor was great, but the Codes and actually Marvel Pearl are similar enough to scratch that itch. Solid Code would be a can't miss as well.
Signature Line: Don't care, not interested. Maybe a Pete Weber ball because I seem to favor a lot of the reactions he does, but this is an entirely niche line and they've shown they will mix it up elsewhere. This more or less seems like a line for Victor Marion to flex his creative muscle without it taking the place of a regular release in other lines and seems like a line fit for balls like the Fight.
Wish: Please don't desecrate R2S Hybrid again.
Master Line: Virtually empty, and the Marvel Pearl doesn't really count. IQ Tour is showing its age and the Phaze 2 cover is super high maintenance.
Wish: Hybrid Phaze. Can't tell you how much I want the Phaze/G. Don't think we'll see a hybrid though, with the Code Red being hybrid and a rumored hybrid Torrent, don't think they want that many hybrids out all at the same time. However, that line is really due for one, haven't seen one since the Tour Fusion.
Thunder Line: Has too much stuff in it, something has to go, but how do you discontinue anything there? I don't like urethane, but Pitch Black and Blue are great urethane balls. Hyroad is the GOAT, and Hyroad Pearl isn't far behind although it's starting to show its age a bit, the new Match Ups are both stronger.
Wish: Somebody said a hybrid Torrent is on the approved list and I really hope that's true. Everything coming out of the Thunder line for the last several years has been probably the best stuff Storm is making, so hybrid or pearl Torrent sounds great.
Hot Line: Match Ups are great balls but wow they hook a lot.
Wish: BRING THE RIDE BACK. Best true light oil ball EVER.
Tropical Line: Tropicals now are better, but still too over/under. Too strong on friction, too weak in oil. Niche/entry level reactions, hard to consider as a real option.
What do you want? I'd be fine if they just did what they do overseas, refresh the marketing every once and a while. Hey, it's the Hyroad Pearl, but it's a different color, smell, and it's the Hyroad 300 now. I'm cool with that.
