Title: Something interesting to wonder...
Post by: a_ak57 on May 22, 2004, 09:25:09 PM

So, has the V2 sanded been discontinued?  It's still on Ebonite's site, but I thought it was discontinued.  Any ideas?  I wanted to get one to replace my dead smashr.

EDIT:  See next post.

The V2 Sanded has not been discontinued. It is one of Ebonites most popular balls so it will still be available.

LMAO Logan V!!

Ok, cool, thanks.  I wasn't sure, since I had heard rumors but nothing stable.  I was wondering why they would do that....

EDIT:  What would it be called if you polished a V2 Sanded?

Discontinuing the V2 sanded would, in my worthless opinion, be the final nail in the Ebonite coffin. As things stand now, their new balls have not garnered significant interest.

Their brand new Fire and Ice (Stinger Low Flare w/ Trimax cover)seem to be only new colors for re-made old balls. Their discontuing of the Stinger and the Cat line have done significant damage to their image as an arsenal provider. The Cat line was th eequivalent of Columbia's Messenger and Brunswick's Monster lines. The Player and Shooter lines have not been used or advertised properly; they have the potential to be great long term balls.

The Primetime and Showtime series are their new flagship balls in the midpriced lineup.  Which is very good because you're still getting the high tech elements in a ball at a much lower price.  The Ice should be interesting because the Stinger Low-Flare used pearl Detonator coverstock and the Ice uses Pearl Trimax.  The Low-Flare was already more aggressive than advertised, and now with a more aggressive cover this should be a monster on most conditions.  I'm very interested in trying the new stuff as well as alot of people I know.
