IMO the current ball line up covers almost every possible combination with only exception of needing a high end and low end particle.

I'm disappointed that they'd discontinue the Agents.
Yeah... I thought the Agents were the best balls they had. However, if this new type of ball is "better" than the Special Agent then I guess it wasn't a bad move. The Special Agent is the best ball I have though
I am still a bit confused if the Street Rod can replace the Thunderstruck but hey maybe... I've always wondered if you could shine up a T-Road Solid and put a certain drilling on it could it replace a Thunderstruck. Of course I don't think anyone has ever gone into that much detail on a comparison.

If the ball companies follow a replacement strategy only they will die. What they are all trying to do is have 'the next great ball' and provide the best coverage possible while not over doing it from a cost standpoint in manufacturing.
My point of the original post (and I probably should have typed more initially) is that the current lineup is leaner than last year while providing the best coverage of condition needs.
The Thunderstrucks and the Agents, while both were good ball lines, don't fit with the current strategy AND they are long in the tooth. If you really like the reaction of any of these balls I suggest you buy one now and put it in your basement for a rainy day.
