Spider, just because they're discontinued doesnt mean you wont find one out there.  this is just happening so they still have stock on them, just trying to clear shelf space

He's not joking (wish he was though)...one of our distributors put the Widows on their discontinued sale listing late last week. Can't tell you how shocked / sad that they did it...didn't stop me from getting a case though.

One of my good friends is a Columbia staffer and the perfect is indeed discontinued meaning they aren't producing them anymore.  There are a ton floating around but they're not making them anymore.  Same with the Wraths.

He was saying that Columbia wasn't happy with the ball's reaction on the lanes and they felt that it was a dud.  He's actually the only person I know that has the perfect rival and he never throws it.  Did seem like a dud, I'm not sure how it's the most popular ball for eboNINE right now.  I would think the magic would be, a ton of people have that ball.

Wow not sure where your source is on this statement.  Because my guess is that the Magic, Emerald Vibe, and hot sauce are much more popular than the Perfect Rival.  Not to mention that I think the Power Swing could take off.

Straight from John Gaines mouth, now this was a few weeks ago. He said it's the best selling ball they're making.
