Distributor told me they'd be available for order on president's day (Feb. 20th)

 

Looks like they just mixed and matched some of Storm's other core/cover combos to make some balls to honor Don Carter. Doubt if this line continues on other than these two releases.

This is Larry Lichstein's line of new balls.   It's a new company that's having Storm pour the balls, and Storm as agreed put their own Storm logos on them to give the product relevance.   I've seen where Larry has been promoting them as part of a new company he is involved with.

That's something I wondered about while reading the specs, too?
