I was just wondering if anyone knew if they were going to continue with the Vibe line this year.  I have great luck with the line and I would hate to see it go.  Any info would be great.

The site the image is on is blocked by my works' firewall, so I can't see what it is.

Either way, is it similar to this:

If so, this was released overseas, and I wonder if it is indeed the same ball.

BL.

Distributors are offering a package of buy four cold bloods get a Jet Vibe free. If it is the last vibe its a $hitty way of making it not available in the U.S. There is one for $300 on ebay but I'd rather buy the black Taboo for far less and have the same great cover.

But a Vibe goes for $90 delivered while a Jet Black Taboo goes for $165 and i doubt you could drill the crap out of a Taboo to make it hook like a Vibe. Too big a difference between the cores.

I'd guess Hammer didn't sell as many of Vibes as we all here, and on similar web sites, thought they were selling. Otherwise, they would have made more of the solids available.

But Jeff... it's all about the money, and I'm sure there is a higher profit margin on the high performance piece anyhow.

When Ebonite released the Cyclones, or was it the Freezes from Columbia? Anyhow... one of those two balls was essentially profitless at the time...  I believe they've adjusted the wholesale cost to solve that issue...

You cannot buy the Jet Black Vibe for $90 delivered. Go ask your proshop or check online. It isn't available.

It is an overseas release and apparently the last Vibe made. So your options are to order 4 Cold Bloods for $552 shipped at cost and get your "free" rare Vibe or try ebay where 1 is listed at $199 or $279 BIN.

I doubt most proshops will sell their Jet Vibe for the same cost as the other Vibe releases since the quantities in the U.S. are very "limited". (dick move by the way)

So yes I'd gladly spend $135 if I really wanted the GTR3 cover on a Taboo vs the "last Vibe" and take my chances of drilling which ever way I choose.

Your next best option is the overseas Cyclone pro  that is more easily available in the U.S.  for $119. The GTR3 cover on the Cyclone core and also available in black.

poppycock!

I still won't pay $165 for $90 vibe!
And the Cyclone core is not a Vibe core.
And you can't make pig's ear into a silk purse!!

I care more about the gtr3 cover then the slight diffrrence in core. Good luck in a black Vibe for the price you want is all I am saying. For the price I'd make due with the cyclone or taboo vs double the price to have the vibe core.

I have no desire for a Cold Blood and am only slightly interested in the Vibe. Depending on where you live most people talk a good game on buying something till it is in hand and time to pay then its a "let me get back to you one that".

I will gladly sell anyone on here 4 Hammer Cold Bloods for $138 each plus shipping.

Many times I've listed newly released bowling balls on here for $10 under the lowest internet price with free shipping and get the same retarded offers of drilled ball trades or asking me to take $10-15 less then the already loswest available price.

It is a waste of time. Plus I am more interested in the new Ringer Platinum and Reax2 on the way.

The Vibe will be replaced by a ball with a slightly different core, new name, and same continuation of passing down previous popular coverstocks. Not really losing anything, only a very slight change.
