According the Hammer site the two are still offered.  Some suppliers have them on a discontinued list that they put out..

The Swagga was a limited run ball.

Swagga was a limited edition ball with the sales of the ball going to part of the TNBA - Taboo is THE ball to get (awesome rolling ball).

I'm kinda sad to see the Grind going away as I absolutely LOVE this ball. So glad that I got a few stored away to replace my current Grinds in my arsenal.

I really like the new Brawl as this piece is a little earlier & stronger than the Grind. I'm sure, we will most likely see a pearlize ball with this core in the future that will be a sure hit!!

Neither of these bowling balls are discontinued at this time.  This information is incorrect.

Jeff I trust your knowledge on the subject, I received a list of discontinued products from a distributor and these were on that list.  Maybe they are just not going to stock them or may be they need shelf space, I do not know.

Thanks for the update.

The distributors put out a discontinued list  because they are not stocking them anymore.  Hammer did not discontinue this ball like I said earlier and Mr. Ussery stated.

The distributor will not be off by much. Usually means their sales have slowed and with new products on the way they have no reason to buy more of the old. They will likely actually be discontinued before long by the manufacture.

I mentioned the discontining of these balls a few weeks ago and it was denied then as well but the distributor's refusal to continue stocking them says otherwise.

Hi everyone, not to be confrontational here, but these balls are not discontinued, period.  I would certainly know.  If you are looking for these products and would like to know where to find them, I can certainly lead you in the right direction.  Thank you.
