Did Prince Tennis Balls Vanish?

I've really liked Prince Tennis Balls for my ball machine. As a matter of fact I love the balls all the way around, but I can't seem to find any on the internet. I think I heard Prince was having financial troubles. Is that what has happened here? If so, does anyone know if they'll start making tennis balls again? When? Is there another tennis ball that closely matches the quality of the Prince?

I stopped buying them about a year ago. They were my favorite clay court balls but the quality control was starting to go south on them. It all makes sense now with their bankruptcy.

They were very good balls, nice feeling and last longer than wilson's. You can't find them anymore in my country, it seems that prince balls divisions is going to finish.

Walmart used to sell the Prince championship balls which they're not the same as the prince tour premium...
I played exclusively with prince and can't find them anymore anywhere..The last batch of the xtra tour premium that I bought were not very good quality..I think the Babolat Roland garros are pretty similar to prince only they feel a little lighter to me but I have been playing with dunlop gran prix which are heavier than any other ball..I'd like to also try the Volk balls which I hear are pretty good..but I have to buy the whole case as they don't sell them individually.

For clay court balls, Babolat Roland Garros are the closest to Prince (when they did not have the QC issues).
