yep i  can confirm DOA, Dyno will be dead within a year or two so the plan goes i hear.

Dyno is oversea's only and will be possibly phased out if sales do not increase greatly.

Actually, Circle was part of the Ebonite deal, but Ebonite bought them to let the line die.  And no, Ebonite wants no part of shoes, so the Circle line is now gone for good.

The hero line, the idol line and the last storm ball was the green voltage. The green voltage is still floating around for cheap online so i have seen the last few weeks.

Idol-Storm cover (Very weak)
Mega Idol-Storm cover (Very weak)
Hero-Storm cover (Very weak)
Super Hero-Storm cover (Very weak)

Hard Core-Early Storm cover/Re-introduced with Columbia cover (2 covers in all)
HCP-same as above
Voltage-same as above
Tilt-Columbia cover

All releases following the Tilt are Columbia covers.  Hope this helps.

Opinions welcomed, as long as you listen to mine.

The tilt had both Storm and Columbia covers. Check the boxes for serial numbers; ones beginning with 05 are Storms, also Columbia made balls had a black/white logo on box. Man I wish I picked these balls up earlier....9

My understanding is Circke balls are no more. However they are going to keep the shoe line going.

I have 3 of these made by Columbia - Tilt - Full Tilt and the Hard Core Triple X.  I like the Full Tilt the best because it forgives some of my release errors - but they are all very good.  Both the Tilt and the XXX remind me of the Action Packed at the pin deck - lots of energy.

the xxx is fairly strong midlane with alot of blackend..the orig hardcore is early and rolly compared to xxx..the original is for more oil while the xxx is a little longer with more backend..some people say the toxic is for dry but my toxic has to have head oil and the xxx is very similar to my toxic...
