Is it me or has anyone else noticed that they (Hammer) have taken the Vicious "Particle" off the website and put in the "Attack"? Does that mean that they are phasing the particle model out? I have had great success with my green and yellow ball and wondering if I should stock up on a cuple b4 they are history. Any thoughts?

If they've already removed it, then it's probably a done deal. If I were you and liked it that much, most places, both local & internet, should still have some. It's also likely to show up on Ebay soon at reduced prices.

Do you know why they discontinued the ball? When I shop for bowling balls, I look for RG's less than 2.5 and diff's above .05. For some reason that's a combination that works best for me, but not many manufacturers make balls like that and when they do, they seemingly discontinue production quicker than others. What's the deal?
I won a "Black Ice" Danger Zone in a raffle back in 1997, and bowled 2-300's and several other high scores with it. I tried to keep it highly polished and could use it on just about any condition. The next year I tried to buy another one and guess what? No longer availiable. After doing some research I found out that the core had low RG <2.5 and high differential, >.05, since then that's what I look for in a ball. I have Hammer Diesel's Pearl and Particle. The Pearl is my favorite of those two. But, first out of the bag is my Vicious Particle and I am averaging 230 in my summer league. Cant wait for the fall season to start.

Bert,
Have you tried any of the Diesels? They also seem to be particularly powerful balls: very low RG and very high RG diff.
