Warlock XV?
« on: January 28, 2013, 10:55:51 AM »
Has anybody had a chance to roll the new Warlock XV? I never got a chance to roll the blue Warlock, but had the orange Warlock! Thanks, Bruce

Any staffers got the new Warlock XV ? Any concrete date for the public release date ? I'm getting a new ball for heavy oil and want to support Visionary. Thanks

No concrete date.  Either late this week or sometime next.

I am assuming that they have "tweaked" the original Warlock core, since bowlingballreviews(via the way back machine) & also bowlingball vault list the differential as .063 which exceeds the new usbc limits. Tha'ts assuming that the 2 websites are correct in that info.

I couldn't find it on those 2 websites. Which Warlock core has the differential listed as .063?
Thanks.

The Warlock DCs are .063; the Purple Pearl and the Pink DC Tour.

OOps....I got it confused with the sorcerer, was just looking at that ball recently. I stand corrected. The Sorcerer is listed as .063.  My Mistake.

I thought so. The Warlocks I see are in the .043, .044, .045 range. Not weak, but controllable.

I think the coverstock strength is what made BTM rate the Warlcok XV in the heavy oil range.

I never owned the old Warlock. For those who have.Do the current Warlock XV numbers and core suggest a considerable up grade ? Any pictures of the new ball ?

I have one of the Orange Warlocks.  The ball is no slouch on medium to medium dry, even today.  In its day, this thing must have been a BEAST.  I was very excited to read the review in Bowling This Month about the Warlock XV.  I especially liked the part about it NOT checking up early as the shot dried up.  I am so tired of being in the pocket, then suddenly through the nose with no warning.

I owned both the Blue (2) and the Orange.  I am guessing there are no apples to apples comparison mainly in the cover of the old Blue and Orange (covers from 1997 to today....just ain't gonna compare) to this new Warlock.  It's in name ONLY.

i have emailed Visionary and they emailed me the specs on the ball. Ball sounds like a winner. i suggest you email Jason or Betsy at Visionary for specs. I don't know if they want the specs out yet so i won't post them.
