THAT There's still not enough sales to warrant keeping them in production.
That they made that decision because they're STILLL not selling, that they must have many still on hand.
Buddies has been pushing them for a long time. If you love them so much, buy 2 or 3 and keep them for the future.
Economics still rules.

But it could and has been approved already. So new ones are not considered a new ball.
Unless there is a time limit on actual production for balls under the new RG limit (2.46?) , like there was for balls over the new RG differential limit of .060", Visionary was allowed a certain time limit to produce their AMB Centaur series for a certain after the new rule, then they actually were forced by the USBC to stop production. Not sure if Ebonite was given a similar timie limit.

Don't know if sales had anything to do with it or not, but from the Ebonite website:
The Gamebreaker will be available for a limited time only and will NOT be returning to the playing field next year, due to a change in RG specifications passed by the USBC.

they were grandfathered in and couldn't be produced after a certain date that I can't remember...

Ric, I don't remember the exact day, but I think the month was June but I am not positive about that.
I love the Gamebreaker. I have 2 of them, one approx 2 years old (14#) and the other (15#) bought this past May.

I remember when the GameBreaker was re-released and even Ebonite was saying online that it was only for a limited time. Part of it is the usual sales cycle. The other thing is the USBC changing the core specs.

Nah it couldn't be that he bowled well after having a horrible look and not getting a break for 2 games....it's that he got "lucky"...typical modern bowler....always bash another's accomplishment.
