Super Carbide Bomb discontinued??
« on: February 17, 2005, 03:42:24 AM »
Buddies no longer lists it for sale on their website. Has it been axed? Is there a new solid reactive particle on the horizon?

I knew it was on its way out this year due to its age in the line up but i haven't heard the final word of its exit I will ask next time I talk with them or perhaps someone else can confirm its exit.  I sure would love to see the Goliath coverstock on the Dirty Bomb core as its replacement who's with me.

S is the Nugget Ten Pin and its been discontinued for a while.  

I definitely haven't heard anything about the cherry bomb but I assume the pearl and black are somewhat getting replaced my the dirty and hybrid so I would guess all the older bombs will be gone sometime down the road maybe this year.  I know I don't have any use for the cherry or black anymore.

I wouldn't expect the USBC to make companies stop making balls that don't qualify if they are already approved.  Balls like the BCB and SCB are very high diff balls, and I would imagine Lane #1 could keep making them as long as they wanted to, but they couldn't get, say, a Super Black Cherry Carbide Bomb approved with the same core.  That's how I interpret the grandfathering clause.

I don't think it would be fair to the companies because anyone who had a lineup with high-diff balls would suddenly have to stop production on those balls and design replacements.

i think the cherry bomb is being discontinued due to the release of the dirty bomb and the hybrid.
lane 1 tends to discontinue balls as new ones are released.....cranberry,goldben nugget,xxl etc

ONE MORE TIME - the USBC ruling on differential means that NO NEW bowling balls will be approved with a differential greater than 0.060.
ANY BALL WITH A DIFFERENTIAL GREATER THAN 0.060 APPROVED FOR COMPETITION IS FINE. IT'S GRANDFATHERED IN!!! AND THE MANUFACTURERS DON'T HAVE TO STOP MANUFACTURING THEM.

yes the scb has already been approved and thus could still be made.

Maybe someone from Buddies or Lane #1 could give us some more info? I don't think that Buddies would stop selling it if it was still being manufactured. And Lane #1 usually doesn't discontinue an important arsenal piece (solid particle in this case) without a replacement in the works. Maybe the Hybrid gets particle added to its shell in the next release?

the cherry bomb being discontinued is directly from lane 1--no mention of the scb.
