??????XXL GONE ALREADY?????
« on: March 11, 2004, 01:33:05 AM »
I heard a nasty rumor that the XXL was being discontinued because it was way too strong to be a pearl urethane as advertised for dry lanes.  Was wondering if anyone else heard this. It is still listed on their site and nothing has been posted in their forum either but I heard this from a reliable source.  If it is being discontinued are they going to tweak it and rerelease it?  I like mine just the way it is and it does work on dry for me quite well.

Companies are finally getting smart.  Your Typical house/league bowler would rather struggle on dry conditions with their favorite house ball than invest money into a drier condition ball that costs the same as your average mid to upper mid priced ball.  People will either keep moving left with what they already have or use plastic just because they don't know any better.  I think more companies are straying away from the higher level bowlers and are gearing their equipment more in the direction of the lower average bowlers that want to see a certain reaction out of a ball(extreme skid flip, or alot of backend).  They figure the more elite bowlers can set up anything for a certain reaction so why make and market a ball to them.  Look at track, their success comes from these hook monsters that outhook their last ball, not their lower end equipment like the Crunchtimes, Revmasters, Dry Heat....etc(although they are fairly popular but do not match anywhere the sales of the morpheus core series).  Bottom Line is people want to see hook, whether they shoot 130 or 230
