Could someone tell me the brilliant marketing strategy behind the canceling of the 505c. This ball was headed for one of the best all around balls of all time for Track. It would be like Brunswick cancelling the Danger Zone. Maybe in their next life.

thanks for your time.

Sir, the 505C was around for about a full year... And with today's bowling ball releases, that's a long time...

As good as a ball as it was, anytime a company comes out with a newer model, the old model falls off... Even if the newer model is a completely different reaction...

To avoid this, if possible, it would be great if they brought out the whole series at the same time...

Example, 505C, 505A, and 505T... They the public would see that they are three different balls... But that is probably a major production problem for a company to do that...

So they come out one at a time... And the buying public still thinks newer is better...

Plus 1000 to that there post jls.

I think these bowling companies should slow down on the new releases & let these balls stay on the market longer.

It's hard when you buy a ball from one line & that ball doesn't "react on certain condition" so you want the sister or equivalent say solid of the other line, but it goes obsolete before you have the chance to try it... Agent Series for me.... I have a Special, but the series went out of production by the time I wanted to try the Double... or even the original Agent... But that's just an example...

Not all of us can buy the complete line of a particular series every time they come out with one.... I'd like to have the entire Reign line right now, but can't afford it yet... by the time I can, one or all will be out of production... Imagine the bowling ball sales if you could afford every line from a company or even a couple lines, LoL......
