That seems like a silly reason to be done with a brand. They make their decisions based on economic viability of the product.

Loved my NM until it cracked,tried the resurgence and it was ok but sold it and tried the rising,didn't care for it,ball hit like a fart in the wind.I was planning on a new NM IF they came out with a pearl version for a 1-2 combo.
I used to throw all Storm back in the day until I felt their stuff didn't match up for me anymore.I haven't bought another Storm for 10 years now,tried out a few and still wasn't impressed.I've been using old Track and been very happy but all the new stuff seems really so so to me.with the news of no more NM's or a pearl I will likely be done with Ebonite.the break and break pearl have caught my eye along with the people that have been signing on with them.
out of all the Hammers I've owned/tried the Blades and No Mercy were the best IMO.

IMO, the NMs being discontinued makes alot of sense. I believe they are too close in roll/reaction to the Widows that I cant see why you would need both. I am in no way saying they are identical as they are not. But, the Widows are much more popular and still avilable. So, why the need for both? I dont think Hammer has a "true" heavy oiler. Maybe the Bite. Something to compete with balls like the Resurgence could be an idea.

I understand what your saying but the original NM is a heavy oil ball. In fact, i've never seen a ball cut thru carrydown like the original NM.
There's only two balls in the line. It doesn't make much sense to discontinue both balls in that line only to bring out a pearl version. Unless they don't plan on bringing out a pearl. I just can't see them doing away with the NM line. I see a lot of NM's and BEATN on the lanes so I doubt it's because of sales being low.
The BW's are very popular and i've had both the Bite and Solid. I would take a NM over any BW ball! Even though there similar in there reaction shape there still different from each other.

Besides, I don't think any of us will be disapointed with what they have in store for the coming season.

I liked the widow series but never had a great series with any ball in it. The solid never really shined for me. I have have more luck with the pearl but nothing worth bragging about. I've been bowling for a few years and the no mercy was a god send for me. After that as far as hammers I'd take the vibes over the widows. Tried storm, morich and brunswick and never found a ball with any of those companies to switch brands. I'd hate to see ebo do away with the nm series.
--------------------
The BW's were ok for me but nothing special. The original No Mercy is an awesome ball. It sucks they never made a pearl version of the original.
I never owned a Beatn' but my guess is that ball is also great.
Storms looking pretty good to me now! lol
