Yes...  It's been brought to my attention that the following Storm balls have been discontinued -

Gravity Shift, Rapid Fire, Rapid Fire Pearl, T-Road Pearl, T-Road Solid, Street Rod, Street Rod Pearl, Royal/ Lime Tropical, and the Orange/ Navy Tropical.

From what I've heard the Fire line is gone.  They'll likely just have the Premier, Master, Thunder, Hot, and Tropical lines.

I wonder why they would get rid of the fire line like that?

Is anything new coming in the Thunder line, or will it just be the Hyroad?  I love my T-Road Pearl and would like to pick up the Solid some day.

Fire Line is being discontinued because it is felt that the Fire and Thunder Lines are too similar (pricing, performance, and features). I agree with the statement as I feel there is nothing that truly separates the performance value between the two lines as the Premier vs Master line balls do.

I can't believe they would discontinue the T-road solid since it was rated number 1 ball of the year recently. What is the storm reign supposed to be like?

Rumor has it that the "Thunder" core will live on in the Reign...
