I would not normally post in this forum, but as many know the last two columbia produced balls are rolling off the floor as we speak, lane #1 evolution and nebula are the last two balls to ever be produced by columbia in that facility
not sure if any of you are interested but I do have them for sale and if you are interested in what the "bleeder" stock on them is, drop me a note and we can talk about it

great pre order price if interested

jls, both Coulmbia and Ebonite purchase from BASF, but Columbia buys finished coverstocks and Ebonite buys raw chemicals from BASF and several other chemical companies. They then mix their own coverstocks using the chemicals they determine to be the best.

How many Infinite Ones do you need? I still have some 15 and 16 in stock . Let me know if I can help you out with product.

BW, i just had a customer who has been waiting since the middle of feb. for an infinite one. he did not mind waiting as long as he would be able to get the ball. last wed. when my dist. called and informed me that the back orders were cancelled. i inturn called my customer and told him the bad news.

he then switched to a action max. same problem, sold out. sold then he went with the fury.

thanks for the offer.
i will pm you to get some info in case i get some more calls for the infinite one. 16 lbs. and action max 16 lbs are what we were looking for.

thanks again.

ps have you heard anything about plastic for next season?
i heard that most if not all will be made in china!!! along " of course" with most golf clubs!!!! opps.

And you're right about the Big Shot and Phoenix being good balls. I just don't think they will sell anywhere near the numbers that the Ones, TNVs, and Black Widows have.

The bar for a profitable ball for Ebonite is higher in number of units than it was for Columbia. It might not be profitable for Ebonite to make short runs of them to last a couple of months.

Faball Hammer Trucks were disco a month after they came out after the Faball purchase. I think this is the same situation.

bw, you are right about how well ebonite sales are going. however in my area we were still doing well with columbia. track was a little off, but we had a good year going with columbia.
and when the tnv and big shot came out. our sales on both were pretty much even. untill the supply of big shots ran out.

i just wish it would have been possible for them to make a few runs of some of these balls to get pro shops thru the feb. march period.
