Title: 900G now PBA approved
Post by: jbuzz31 on September 02, 2008, 02:31:44 AM
so now that they are okay for tv shows,  are they gonna go after somebody  as a staffer?

I personally wouldn't mind seeing Mike Scroggins throwing a break.

Or maybe even danny wiseman?   he seems to be liked well enough. and his personality would def draw attention to the balls.

what is everybody elses opinion?

Tony Reyes? (Would have to switch from Hammer ...)
Patrick Allen is currently unsponsored (by a ball mfgr), I believe.
Dave D'Entremont (won the Tour Trials) is also unsponsored.
Ken Simard?
Mike Scroggins would also be a good choice, as he made numerous shows last year.

Remember back to when Double D was dominating mid 90s, he was winning with the original Critical Mass, Code Red, NRg, etc Track stuff.......since Phil was the head of Track then, maybe Double D would be a good fit?

Ken Simard is on ebonite staff for this year.

As far as I know you have Joe Ciccone who uses 3G shoes and I don't think he has a ball contract.  I personally would love to see Mike Devaney using Global,  Chris Loschetter is also using 3G shoes and would be a good choice.

wow, some things must have really changed. I spoke to Eric about the PBA several months ago and they had no plans to pay the high prices PBA registration fees..

In this months issue of BTM under the fall ball line-up, they talk to Danny Speranza from 900G. From the article: "900 Global's exempt bowler on the PBA tour is Michael Haugen.  Adds Danny, We only need one."

I'm not a big Haugen fan but I guess since he has the affiliation to AMF it makes since.
Title: Re: 900G now PBA approved
Post by: jkiser01 on September 02, 2008, 01:10:37 PM
Just curious why your not a fan of Mike's.. have you ever met him? I have bowled a couple regionals with him and he has always been very approachable to hack's like myself.. LOL!! Seriously, a very nice guy IMO..

Just wondering..

It's nothing personal of the guy the 2 times I met him he was very open and cordial.  Imo he is not as entertaining to watch.  While he did when 2 titles last year I wonder how he will do this year coming off his injury.
Title: Re: 900G now PBA approved
Post by: jkiser01 on September 02, 2008, 01:53:11 PM
Yea, he is not that exciting to watch for most people. I like watching how accurate he is.. IMO its harder to do what he does than someone that just throws it right and watches it hook back 25 boards.. LOL!!

Post by: batbowler on September 02, 2008, 02:24:14 PM
Haugen's game will get him further than most because of his style and accuracy! He didn't crack under pressure against Chris Barnes and came back for the victory! Good choice by Phil and the gang!

Norm Duke also rolled AMF well, but to get him from Storm would take some doing, although I'd like to see it!

This is the way I look at it as wacky as my world is...Jaros has been a DT guy from the past.  Jaros can make many shows tough shots to easier.  

Who would you put on your staff?  The guy that make it when it's easy or make more shows...tough and easier?

I would say Jaros as it has already been said he has been using G900 at Regional's and he has done very well this summer.  Then I would look at Tommy Delutz, Mike Devany, and Chris Loschetter.  I would really love it if they could pull Robert Smith from Elite.

I think Chris Loschetter is going to break out finally. Way to good for it not to happen. Wouldn't be a back pickup.

I'm sure he's expensive, but I don't think WRW Jr has a ball contract at this time.

Post by: SVstar34 on September 03, 2008, 05:54:45 PM
for those who have said Fagan, he has a contract with Hammer.
I could see Danny Wiseman or Mike Scroggins, but both of them had great success as free agents last year throwing the Cell. Jaros wouldnt be a bad choice either.

Jaros, Scroggins, Haugen, Wolfe all would be good choices. Scroggins might be Storm or Rotogrip but i thin he is a free agent.
Title: Re: 900G now PBA approved

They have already said Haugen is in. They are picking a 2nd person..
