Seems to be EBI's game plan for this year....release all of the entry, mid and upper mid performance stuff in the summer for teh shows and then as soon as the season gets ready to kick off, introduce the new high end stuff.
 
I ahve just received info on the new Taboo, the new C-300 ball (the Encounter) and apparently a new Ebonite ball is on the way since my supplier is blowing out Mission 2.0's....must be something new coming.

That is not the new Taboo...the Red Taboo was an overseas release. There were roughly 200 of them released through the Hammer Booth at Nationals.
 
The new Taboo is Dark Blue and Silver.....

When is this new Taboo available for sale on the market?  I looked on the Hammer website does not list a date for release.

Hammer has a promotion going with this new Taboo. Buy a Taboo and get a Taboo spare ball free. The spare has the gas mask core in it.


3 holes of fun!!
