Hello everyone,
The Gladiator LE is USBC approved, and starts shipping to pro shops, distributors and test staff members starting Monday. This ball was originally intended for an international distributor of ours who wanted something like the Gladiator Pearl, but a little milder so that it could be used on a little drier conditions. After discussing options with them, we blended a few reactive materials to create the desired reaction, and ordered enough materials to fill their order. Unfortunately, their bowling market took a major hit recently and the order was cancelled, so we are releasing this ball to everyone.
Since we have ordered enough material to pour 1,000 balls and had only intended for it to be an international release, we have decided to individually number these balls to 1,000 and just release it as a limited edition.
As is the case with all of our current line balls, the only people who can purchase directly from us are pro shops, distributors and test staff members. It will not be sold directly to individuals through us.
Also, for those of you who were wondering, we are in the middle of creating a new site, which hopefully will go live sometime this week. All of the information on the Gladiator LE as well as the New Breed Solid will be on this site. As is the case with all sites, there may need to be adjustments over the first few weeks, so if anyone viewing the site runs into any mistakes or thinks we are lacking something, please feel free to contact me at vbpadvertising@aol.com.
Thanks again,
Jason Wonders
