Why has the pics and discussions about this weeks Pepsi Challenge not been put up on the site? is it because they only put it up when at least 1 brunswick bowler gets onto the show?

I'm wondering if you actually had a legit question or if you're just trying to start crap, as this has been asked before, usually by instigators.

im not trying to start anything...im just making an observation. Most of the shows had someone thorwing brunswick and they information was always up. Im just wondering if they are going to bother posting anything or not.

Okay, just making sure. There have been other posts like this in the past, except in a negative tone. Sorry, I apologize. I think it comes down to Rick Benoit not having a lot of time in general, and perhaps since there isn't any brunswick on it's not his first priority. But I'm sure he'll update it.

I have a slight hunch that WRW isn't going to feel like sharing the layout. He doesn't like promoting a ball companies persay.

Because he's said so several times. Go to his website. He doesn't talk about the equipment he uses, he uses numbers to refer to them. He's said several times that unless he's paid (and well) to endorse equipment, he doesn't do it. At the US Open last year, it was quite the scandal that he used a WMB (I believe) to tear 'em up during the week, then Track waved a bigger check in his face than Mo and he threw the GP2 on the show. That's what they say, anyway.
If you rewatch the show and can see the S&D logos, they're oriented so that the MB is straight below the logo. If the logo goes from 7:30 to 4:30 around the pin, the MB is at 6:00.
On Edit: The logo doesn't wrap around the pin, but it is upright with respect to the MB. It looked like the pin was about an inch to the right and maybe a half-inch above he finger line. With the orientation of the logo, probably a stacked drill, putting the MB near the strong position, maybe a little right of it.

BowlerKid,
I haven't talked to Rick, but it's certainly possible that since no one on the show was using Brunswick balls that he didn't stay around for the show. It's possible he left on Saturday to go home.

Good to see you in here my friend. Was not aware that you visited the site. Wonder how we did at City Tournament couple weeks ago. Cant imagine too much with my stellar 580
. Anyways......it would be cool if there was someone more regular to the tour who would do the same thing that Mr. Benoit does. I always find it interesting to see the different layouts that are used on tour to see how different or similar they are to the ones we use on normal league conditions. I know that may be a stretch, but it would be cool.

This week marked the first week of the year Brunswick did not have a bowler on the show. I don't want to fill these pages with reasons or excuses. I spent the show day traveling home.

I don't think they do support, coaching, and equipment recommendations for Lane 1, Elite, and Morich, though.
