Yeah I heard a rumor that is was going to be disc. so I picked up a NIB 15 pounder with awesome specs. for very little dough.  I have never had another ball that is as controllable (yet works on medium and heavy oil) as my VP and as far as longevity goes, I've put maybe 300 games on mine and it still reacts the same as it did from day 1!

This ball always seems to get me out of slumps and I owe breaking the 200 average barrier to my VP.  In fact, I averaged 213 last season when the year before I averaged 198.  Talk about an increase...thank you Mr. VP!

Yes, it is true.

The Vendetta (original), Vendetta Particle, and Element have been discontinued.  The VP, as anyone who knows me will tell you, is my all-time favorite, bestest, most loved, happy-warm-and-fuzzies, bowling ball to have the DT logo.  

I am looking forward to the new Vendetta Vengence ball, which will have an improved reactive formula with a low-load particle additive.  Should be a winner!

*hopes by making stuff up and starting rumors that it'll actually come true*

The Vendetta Particle was probably the best "sleeper" ball on the market..all the reviews I read were nothing but praise. I think that a lot of people were afraid of particles, and burn out, so they stayed away. I love mine, the best shot I use it on is the dreaded over/under, and deep tracks with carry down,..granted I had to put a little polish on mine but it still reacts just like the first day,...glad I got another one hiding in the closet...jim

My Christmas wish is the Vendetta Particle shell wrapped around the Thing Lives weight block,....makes me shiver,....

Vendetta Particle is discontinued, getting hard to find, but you should be able to get one if you really want to.

Vendetta Black, Vendetta Particle Pearl, and Vendetta Blue/Silver Pearl are all still available.

I think I want to try a Vendetta Black also, really all of them look pretty good, even when Tony throws 'em!!

Marketing genius; let it slip the product will be discontinued, clean out the inventory. Then release the new and improved.
