im surprised about the vital sign not selling. ive seen more than a few guys do well with it. house and sport pattens.

my opinion on summer releases is that most of them arent bad balls they just dont sell because no one knows they are released except the higher level players that bowl year round. announce and release them in august instead of june/july

I understand why summer releases don't do so well, but I am disappointed to hear the game plan is going away.  This is the ball I use almost every night.  It can hook the lane or go up the 10 board depending upon how I throw it.  I may have to pick up a couple of more, as this is the best ball I've thrown in a few years.

Talked to a person at Ebonite today, Vital Sign is not disco'd, minimum wholesale price has been dropped.

The total i can be sure is discontinued, the complete likely is being moved at lower than original price.

Keep them honest!

Ebay store updated very often: http://stores.ebay.com/gumby3170?refid+store

Ebo seems to oversaturate the market and does not give the pro shops enough time to move their product. By the time a shop receives their product, Ebo is announcing a new ball or line. How is a shop supposed to sell a ball that will be replaced in a month? I am not saying Ebo is the only company that is doing this, but they are the biggest player doing it.

Thats the problem new balls released over summer and by middle of October we have new releases.  Market is saturated with equipment.

i think they all should come out between may and august and advertise a ton to sell thier balls....economy is still down also lower prices and offer more assentives to buy one or 2 balls....they could give away see-saw towels, small bottle of cleaner...some do like legends and lanemasters and visionary....or make smaller quantity of product,,,if it sells out great next things on they way i believe this sounds like a better business model then flooding the market because it gets very overwhelming to buy a ball...just my 2 cents
