Older balls still in production
« on: May 21, 2005, 12:01:36 AM »
What balls are still being made today that have stood the test of time? I know the Green Gargoyle by Visionary came out 5 years ago and they still make them. Probably because the ball simply rocks! That's one thing I like about Visionary. They find something that works, that their customers like, and they stick with it. How many other balls from the bigger companies, are still being produced 5 years later, EVEN if their customers love the ball? Not many. Comments or thoughts?

I've got a remake of the Fire Quantum that I'm in love with right now...  even with a short pin it's still a sweet ball.  Are they still pouring these bad boys at Big B?

Can anybody say Columbia300 Scout/R Red/Violet has been approved for over 4 years. But, in that sense, there is no real need to update the entry level (just like plastics). They need to re-release the Cuda/C set....that would be a novel idea!
