I’m still pissed about the discontinue of the ZGL. Though I knew it was coming because it was in a Bowlero Get Your Gear League, usually the first indication.

[@rc07333]

It's not in this years get your gear league.... It's the VeBo, sublime and TNT infused. Unless I'm missing it completely

[@PygmyBBQ]

I'm no expert, but that product sheet for the Lightning sure seems photoshopped to me. Is this one of your usual trusted sources?

[@househackbowling1]

I’m sure they use photoshop to make the original ones so you’re not wrong.

[@BowlersRant]

House Hack is the truth :)

[@decadude8968]

I think they should have made it a different color as well.

[@BowlersRant]

agree

[@jlewis1998]

I’m leaning toward this being an overseas release. That R2S cover has been used on several overseas releases over the years.

[@2handlife200]

Reacta gloss finish confirms it’s an overseas release

[@zacharymeyer5323]

Reacts gloss doesn’t mean it’s overseas, plenty of releases that spi have came out with lately domestically have had reacta gloss on it

[@BowlersRant]

Reactagloss is the new polish. 1500grit is the old style that we still see on some overseas.

[@user-ur6gl2pd7g]

It looks like some random guy just pasted the Lightning logo onto one of the black solid balls from Storm. I can't see any pearl particles through the coverstock, even though it's introduced as R2S Pearl 🤔🤔

[@BowlersRant]

Possible

[@scottshiira6551]

Looks like the Lightning is the OG Thunder Storm from back in the day

[@BowlersRant]

Hmmm

[@rodennis418]

"Feels" like moving backwards? Like Lightning would have been the pre-AI world release and then they updated to the Blackout. Super odd one for sure!

[@BowlersRant]

Time reveals all

[@robinbargo4417]

New hy Road pearl replacement. Maybe or a perhaps. Looks good 👍

[@BowlersRant]

Maybe! Very good point to consider...

[@joeltouchard1155]

The Lightning might be a scrapped product because the product sku is the same

[@andrewweltlich9065]

I was thinking the same thing. The R2S Lightning may have been what they were originally planning, but later on in development changes were made.

[@BowlersRant]

Spidey senses tingling on this line of thought

[@BigDangerous311]

They usually change the scent for different versions, so this doesn't seem to check out.

[@BowlersRant]

Seems sus to me

[@deadpolymers3416]

If they give it a normal price, and not the $200 price tag of the LBO, I'd consider it.

[@BowlersRant]

That’s what I’m saying

[@whoisthat57]

Both balls have the same Product SKU, not sure if that's because the product hasn't been released and will be updated. But seems fishy. Maybe there is some additional testing done by USBC that we are unaware of that would kill the Lighting Blackout?

[@BowlersRant]

super fishy. Im not convinced this is a real thing yet...

[@NorCalBowler]

Got rid of the Electrifys 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@BowlersRant]

Indeed. Which all used base Reactor cover. R2S is a nice improvement!

[@aleffel9668]

No AI tech and down to R2s pearl. Definitely believable since they cleared the electrify line.

[@BowlersRant]

Hmmmm

[@dennismcclintock3154]

Hey I do have a question STORM has the new ……..ION and then ROTO GRIP has the NEW X-CELL take a look at the cores in each I’m I seeing things but the look to be pretty close in shape the ION has a step up block the X-cell has almost the same shape ??????? what your thought on this. I excited for the X-cell and there a price difference MR BEANS

[@BowlersRant]

AI based cores with different weight blocks. XCELL will be top tier price

[@dennismcclintock3154]

@@BowlersRant so do you think the X-cell will out perform the storm ION?????

[@glenngilpatrick480]

One with AI core and one without, but RG and Diff are the same?? No way that can be right .

[@BowlersRant]

Thats another reason I am scratching my head...

[@NorCalBowler]

Chris!

[@BowlersRant]

yes!

[@Brent-Tanabe]

If true & since this is R2S Pearl maybe this is why the HyRoad Pearl got discontinued. Seems like numbers that would give it a reaction that's close to the HyRoad Pearl.

[@BowlersRant]

Interesting

[@christophererenberg1963]

There's your new hyroad pearl

[@BowlersRant]

Perhaps 🤔

[@hersheljones9467]

If it comes stateside better not replace iq ruby

[@BowlersRant]

Doubtful

[@Xarraan]

new sheet looks fake.

@@BowlersRant your welcome

[@shanenorthrop1969]

It’s BS no AI core but yet the same #’s 🤔 I don’t think so

[@BowlersRant]

I’ve heard this quite a bit. Hard to argue against that logic

[@rb8999]

Yeah this looks pretty photoshopped. Know some people who know a decent amount about what's coming and have not heard anything about this. Introducing an almost identical ball makes even less sense than their dumber decisions in the past year. This would instantly cannibalize sales because it'd be at a cheaper price point

[@BowlersRant]

I’m def not sold it’s real yet
