Okay guys, finally talked to Bakes about the new balls. Here's what he had to say (great guy btw). He watched Ameleto and Learn do some testing but said these guys were too hard to tell. Ameleto makes everything look good was the comment.
Rule: Reactive - High Performance
Very strong recovery from the midlane, saw the ball in Vegas too and said where it was normally OB/hang, the guys were able to bring it out of there. Based on the higher rg(than the Untamed), this should get down the lane easier with a strong arcing motion in the back because the diff is listed at only .046. His comparison was that it looked like a stronger Unleashed.
FreakaZoid: Reactive - Mid Price Plus
Just like we expected, very smooth and controlled. Clean thru the heads and less backend than the Freak. We both agreed this would also be a very nice ball for guys who still like to hit up on it and not have it hook off the lane. He was very interested personally in this ball.
Hexplosion: Lite Particle - Mid Price
Unlike what I mentioned before about more length, he now said it actually has more hook than the Crash due to it's particle cover. Same weightblock as the Hextreme, he didn't get to see this ball a whole lot. Good introductory ball that offers more hook at an affordable price.
My personal choice? I still want the FreakaZoid, too many O/U house shots around and this sounds very nice and controlled. Shouldn't have to take away too much of the balls power/potential because of my speed either, I'm very eager to throw this one!
Alright, I picked mine, what's yours???
