Personally, I think if Columbia wanted me to sign with them so bad they could have just asked me.

personally  i think the reason was simple.
dyno  does not break any doors down   sales wise,  and they were probably not getting the attn:  they wanted from storm.  in our shop roto and "storm"  sell well,  dyno is a tough sell,  great ball line,  just a tough sell,  kinda like
amf balls.  
also  maybe the real reason could be their shoes,  they can rival dexter,  circle shoes are good,  but at the lower end price point
now with both circle and dyno's shoes,  columbia can become a major player in the shoe market.
also glad to hear phil and company are back with columbia,  always liked those
guys when they were track!!!!!!
what is next  columbia finally putting degree in 8 oz. bottles?????
or maybe they just never noticed all that track polish and cleaners in 8 oz bottles.  people are not all stupid,  some will spend $12.95 for an 8 oz. bottle as opposed to $7.95 for a 4 oz. bottle.

Sorta like different strokes for different folks, my little shop sells more D/T than any othr ball. I can't give a R/G ball away, but on the other hand if the high average bowlers don't buy a D/T ball they're buying Morich. I'm doing well with just those two brands. But then again I have some great "guys" just down the street from me, that sure helps, oh and Kendra you are one of the "guys" if your reading this topic.

Legend   where do you get this stuff from   every single columbia ball ever  cracked.  please   you got stock in storm or something,  have not had  a single columbia premium ball crack all season.   sounds like you bowl tournaments,  which could explain the cracking.  most guys when they go down,
bounce the ball a few times before putting it in the bag.  sound familiar???
we have more honor scores with columbia balls than anything else since the action's came out,  especially the packed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Actually I said every c300 and track ball "I" have had has cracked out on me. Yours may not crack, but its funny that theres tons of other people that state the same thing I have experienced. I have no stock in storm and really have'nt bought anything storm in a couple years. I throw most anything, but after all the bad experiences with c300 made balls...I just try to stay away from them. To correct your other assumption, No I do not bowl very many tournaments. I am just a 190ish average bowler.

Bottom line Phil has positioned his company for a buyout by Columbia300 once again. Financially its probably a stellar move on his part from a sheer dollars and cents perspective.

I can't agrue about the bowling balls cracking at Track or Columbia. I have seen a few Brunswick balls as well as the AMF bowling balls crack also. Maybe it is just not Track and Columbia?


You're right, it's everyone.  I know two people with cracked Brunswicks, one an older urethane (?) Zone that cracked completely around the ball about 1/4" and another with a Fuze Igniter that actually split in two.  Both were kept reasonably well, they certainly weren't abused.

If a company had problems cracking, they'd either go out of business, get a reputation for crappiness, or fix it.  Knowingly and consistently putting out bad products that have to be replaced is a fast way to lose customers.

Great topic, fortunately I've never had a problem with cracking and do not anticipate there to be one. So I guess we should all move on.
