Charcoal Executioner

I thought someone was looking for one of these, NIB.  Saw that Frankie May's proshop still has it listed in all weights.

Gary--Great ball...but for a discontinued ball seems a lil high since you can get the G-3 from them also at the same price.  Hard to get maybe that drives the price up.

Ok, I had to dig out my old price guides and saw that when the Charcoal was in production, it had a MSRP of $199.  The G-3's MSRP is $225.    

As Scott said, availability plays a part in setting the price.  The G-3 is still readily available while finding the Charcoal is more difficult, especially in 15#.

Visionary is still a good deal because they have not raised the prices of their balls as much as some other manufacturers have.
