Current Forzas Going Extinct
« on: July 03, 2016, 04:53:49 PM »
Just a warning to fans of both the Forza and Forza Redline that they won't be around soon. Some may already know, but hopefully this helps someone stadh their favorite ball.

Yellow ball is on clearance. But the OG Forza has not hit clearance yet.

I've heard my dealer friends say that they could not get the original Forza anymore over 2 months ago. I only know of 1 guy that still wanted one but bought the GT instead.

I see great things coming from Motiv over the next year, for the coverstocks are getting so much better now. It pretty much obsoletes many of the balls over 2 years old now.

I put  my Shock and Panic up for sale to stay ahead of the curve, and sold my Tribal and Sting last week.

Thanks for the heads up!

OMG, how could ever sell the Shock??
To my eyes and to my hand, it rates right up there with the Hy-Road in utility and carry power.

The Shock isn't going away for a while yet.  You're better off keeping it and/or getting a second one.

I have a NIB 14lb OG Forza on my shelf. Loved the look of the ball watching Ronnie Russell throw it on the telecasts. Somehow I never got around to drilling it...

Yep, looks like the Forza and Forza Redline have been retired. The Primal Rage and Venom Shock are still going strong though.

That's interesting, I didn't even notice. They weren't there when first taken off of the current balls page. Seems like all we're waiting for now is information on the limited edition ball to come out...

May signal that the war was lost and everyone can move on. They can manufacture the LE and put this behind them.

I am told the USBC and Motiv met at least twice on the Jackal's. Since the USBC has not posted any update, the USBC obviously has nothing new to say on the matter.
