There are a few companies in the bowling ball industry that cover every element of the bowler's needs.

Tape, grip products, shoes, bags, and novelties as well.

i know brunswick makes polish that is close as possible to the factory finish, and they do or did make tape.

if they do have these products they need to market them more throughtly.

I know that ebonite covers every element of the market except for shoes, but dynothane shoes here are more popular than there own company's bags.

There is always room for improvement, there balls, and bags cover a broad range of the market, but they are lagging in the other smaller segments of the industry.

I know that they own DBA, so why not look into aquiring Master products and making them pba approved again. you'd buy up everything a bowler would ever need, and it would have the Big B with the Crown on it.

No bashing here, i just want to see a more competitive market place for all.

Come' on Brunswick you could really be king.

yeah i know but they look like poo. they are not even close to the quality of the etonics for the average level of bowler.

besides the brunswicks are made by dexter.
and they have no higher average shoes.

Actually, Brunswick has a pretty nice looking pair of intermediate type shoes. They are left or right handed (separate, not together), black and bronze colored. My son had a pair -they're quite nice. And reasonably priced.

I guess Brunswick would venture into any product category where the volumes are right. Perhaps high performance bowling shoes isn't a big enough category.
