Ebonite has posted on its Facebook page that the next Mission is having a name change - it will NOT be the Domination. WTF? If you look on their website, they are now saying Mika won the TCO with "the Mission $250K."

I guess this makes the original Dominations an instant collectors item.

That's terrible. If I was Mika I think I would be a little embarassed....plus the new name just doesn't roll off your tongue right. What did you throw tonight....I threw the new Mission $250K? Just isn't a good name. Why not call it...Mission Accomplished (I think that was already suggested in another thread) or Tour Mission or something.

Just my two cents

I don't agree with the renaming of the ball. I was not a huge fan of the name domination (3.0 might have been better), but I think mission t.o.c, mission mika, or mission accomplished might have been better, at least I have a domination that iwll say domination and not $250K.

But in all honestly I guess it doesn't matter what the name is because as long as it rolls well and knocks down the pins that is the bottom line. This ball is strong and rolls really well for me so i will still recommend it regardless of the name.

just my 2 cents

Mission

Mission 2.0

Mission Domination

World Beater

The Dist. already have the Domination in stock and are scheduled to start shipping it next week...

I was told they will indeed be shipping the balls they currently have with the Domination name...

And the new models will be called the Mission 250K...

This should be interesting and fun...

hate the name as much as the World Beater.....but both balls I guess are named after tourneys won now.

Too bad Ebonite didn't re name it the Mission Domination 250K...

As far as the Name of the World Beater... It got it's name because of what it was being called while still in R & D...

They were so impressed with the ball, they kept calling it a "world beater" And the name stuck...

OMG, you don't think they will rename it the World Beater to the Chris Barnes World Beater...

Could this be what is behind the $30 Rebate on the Domination, to get them sold before the new name is shipped? the Email I received from Ebonite said the rebate is only good until Feb 3rd and for "Pre-Orders" on the Domination....

HEY JLS,

Yo peeps is at it again.

Now, we no longer have to wait for them to discontinue a line in a couple of weeks and flood the market with a new one, now they just change names in midstream and keep on pumpin em out, sticking you and the distributors with now obsolete stock!

Who needs a new ball when we can just change names?

Bring THIS up at the upcoming session and see what happens.

(Yeah, I know, I'm a funny guy, right?)

Yeah, I throw AMF. What's it to ya?

jls · « **Reply #12 on:** January 26, 2011, 11:45:33 AM »

No Brick,, the rebate was out long before the name change... No one at yesterday's seminar mentioned the name change... I seriously doubt they even knew about it yesterday... Most Dist. just got their E-mail's on this today...

So the $30 rebate should apply to either model... From what I have been told, they will ship the models in stock with the Domination name on it, until the new Mission 250K's show up...

But who knows, that could change also if Ebonite wants to keep them off Ebay...
