Title: Desert Heat Discontinued???
Post by: golfnutFL on July 13, 2006, 01:09:46 AM: I've noticed that several of the larger on-line retailers no longer list this ball under their Track options. Has it been discontinued?

we had a real good run with that ball.

Post by: jls on July 13, 2006, 11:01:33 AM: actually, the ball sold rather well in our area, last season many house's had new meaning to the word dry.

i am sure track will bring out a new version of the same ball. it seems you need to do that to keep the balls fresh.

but that ball was around for a long time. well over a year on the shelf.

that's a lot today.

At a seminar that Del hosted I attended I asked him about the Desert as well. He said that some people said it was good for the purpose while others told him that it wasn't a 'true' dry lane ball. This is probably why it is being discontinued. I'm sure with the mind of Del that another ball will come out from Track as the next 'dry' lane ball. Stay tuned folks! God Bless You All and have a great week!

Wow, Track sure don't keep some of their balls around very long anymore.
