guys,
it's not a question of whether a few of us are willing to pay the premium for a soaker on a vendetta core.
it's whether it's a viable marketing decision or not and that may be questionable. look at all the people posting here whose pro shop can't get hold of a plain vendetta, thinking it's been discontinued, because their distributor doesn't even know how to get one!
look at Buddies, a huge internet selling machine, marking down the energy line this past Xmas to $115, probably due to lack of sales. I bought a High Energy from them for $115 plus shipping just because i couldn't pass up the sale on a great ball. i didn't need another ball.
