What's Discontinued and What Isn't?

The subject line says it all.....their website is inconclusive.

Not to start anything here but something to look forward to in the coming year which I mean bowling year/season.  There is a paragraph in Sept. BTM featuring each manufacturer.  Visionary's blurp stated that "Visionary will be releasing a new line of high performance balls later this season.  Details on this line are not ready to be released."

Hence the demise of the AMB Centaur and Immortal lines plus with their high diff. USBC stated they could no longer produce them.

No, No, Noooo! I just bought an AMB Bronze Centaur and an AMB Solid. Bad enough, I still don't have a Glad and a Glad pearl ....

On the Visionary website, select Balls.  On the right side of the page is a list of the different lines still available.  From that listing, the following are Discontinued:

Immortals - Solid and Pearl.
AMBs - Particle, Solid, and Pearl.

The following are still available:

Gladiators - Solid and Pearl.
Ogres - Solid, Pearl, SS, and Particle.
B/G Centaur.
Gryphons - Frankie May solid and G-3 Pearl.

I had heard that the only balls left in their line were:

Ogres
Gladiators
Blue/Green Centair
Frankie May Gryphon
G-3 Gryphon

However Visionary's website confused me and none of my suppliers have the AMB's or Centaurs marked down as discontinued either.

Thanks for the heads up guys!!!

About three weeks ago i was bowling in our summer
scratch league and eight lanes down were the owners
of VBP. They were bringing in boxes of bowling balls
and throwing some games with them.
The owner of the bowling alley told me the wonders
family were testing some new bowling balls.
I would guess there is some new bowling balls in the works.

what did the balls look like Gripnrip, im really interested in Vissionary's products right now. I'm currently in the process of obtaining an Ogre Particle. I want to know what they are going to be coming out with, since there will be another new HP line

is my opinion.....  visionary doesnt need different performance lines....   everything they make is   above high performance.......   I'll put the ogre line up against any company's high performace line anyday....  and the gladiators are the best out there........

Sorry SVstar34 I was watching from eight
lanes over. I couldn't see much about the
balls. The boxes were unmarked. I was going
to walk down after our league was done to
talk with them but they were gone before we
were done bowling.

I didn't post this to start some frothing at the mouth.  It's gonna be awhile so don't everybody come out of their underwear.  

For those that are missing out on the Gladiator line to bad soooooo sad!  

IMO Visionary needed the Gladiator line it's something they missed since dropping the Executioner line.

Doug,
From what I had heard, these balls were discontinued.  BUT, Jason said he still had a bunch of them in stock.  I'm sure if there were a ball you needed you could get it.
