Discontinued can mean that a distributor is no longer going to stock the product in their warehouse, thus it's discontinued in their stock catalog.

Does not mean the manufacture is not making them anymore.   Means that this particular distributor is no longer going to stock the item.

typical of anything from Ebonite...come out with a ball and 3 months it's gone and here comes a new one.

Suppliers are not going to carry the Grind when the Brawl is a much better ball in 90% of the cases.

The same goes with the Swagga...the core is the same as the Taboo and with the way the Taboo went through it's first production run, people will forget the Swagga even exists.

GamePlan...same deal....Game On is basically the same ball with a slightly different coverstock. The Game Plan is not a great seller so the supplier wont stock both balls.

Vital Sign...again...not selling well and the Vital Energy is an updated version of the ball so they won't stock both.
